GDT: Oilers host Leafs @ 6:00 pm MT - Ekholm to the rescue

[Harry Curry]

Its kinda funny how Barrie was seem as this horrible contract/player when he was an Oiler but now that we traded him hes this premium puck moving dman that everyone wants.

Mainly on CalgaryPuck.

Campbell starting tonight... lawd have mercy.

We’re gonna miss because of GM pride. Jesus

 

[Kerberos]

over under set at 8 GA then?

Scary that this seems reasonable.

 

[Harry Curry]

Follow-up question: Will Campbell be pulled?
Follow-up comment: can we get this guy a new nickname. Soup has got to be the dumbest nickname going. I'm certain it's why he sucks.

This morning was an optional skate. Skinner didn't skate. Campbell stayed out late doing extra work. No guarantees, but probably means Skinner gets the start.

I don't think Jack is the first guy with the last name Campbell to have the nickname soup. Something to do with some crap, over-salted product in a can.

I think more like nice guy coach...Woody chooses who plays.

 

[dssource]

Most notably to deflate the egos of Leaf fans.

Can't stand that team or their fans. Then the fact that the Oilers have to change the start time of their home games to accommodate them as well....

Glad to see Ekholm is in tonight. Hoping he has a strong first showing.

 

[Canovin]

When is Evander coming back?

 

[Oilers in NS]

His flight lands at 11:00 this morning. He'll be in the lineup.

Seen that
Awesome

Lmao. I’m not normally one to give Woodcroft heck, but that feels like a disastrous decision. Campbell doesn’t seem like a Mike Smith who is gonna get fired up to play his old team and prove them wrong.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Hopefully he'll be good to go for next week, this Friday will be 2 full weeks since he's played a game and Holland also mentioned him like a deadline add, well the deadline is this week.

Good
Just spitballing
I’m up for some kind of trade to Arizona and land Ghost and Bjugstad
Yamo , picks(to work out money) and a prospect
Gives us a much bigger team to work with

Someone mentioned earlier that they said last week another week or 2. I’m thinking end of next week

 

[Gordy Elbows]

Oilers should scratch McD “for trade related reasons” tonight.

 

[OilerTyler]

Bold prediction:

The Oilers score twice on the power play.

Bold of you to assume we’ll get two power plays

I have a bad feeling about these two weeks. Jets are honestly the weakest team we play and they always give us trouble. Going to have to beat some really good teams to get points. We could be staring up at the Flames in our playoff spot mid March.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Well not really, he's at the Airport. jebus 6pm start. Screw off Toronto! Enough time for Ek to have a bite, throw his suitcases in some room somewhere, say hello to some players and hit pregame skate.

Wouldn't have expected him to have had any sleep.

I always think about the game before Tippett got fired, Smith demanded that he start again on the second night of a B2B after he got a 4 piece spotted on him by Vegas and Tippett let him and then Smith let in another 4 goals to the Blackhawks and Tippett got fired the next day.

 

[Broberg Speed]

gonna be a big win tonight

That is part of the equation.

2/2

On the Leafs board, they referred to us as a "warmup" that enabled them to build chemistry with their new teammates. I'd like nothing better than for us to come out and shove it down their throats but I have doubts about that happening. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

I don't think one poster constitutes "they," although these days I guess it technically could.

typical leafs fans. So arrogant for a team that hasn’t been out of the first round in almost 20 years. Let’s stomp these ****ers tonight

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Reading almost any board here is a good way to attain a migraine.

Maybe they only need one.
Hyman scores and obviously the goal gets called back. Then they score again.
