GDT: The Masculine Daydream - Oil vs Flems 7:00 PM

[fireantz]

I like the fact we have several capable dmen competing for 5,6 and 7. Remember the DofD when our third pair was usually “Has Been” and “Never Was”.

3rd pairing? Could damn near be said about the 2nd pairing. Was if we were always missing a top pairing to push everyone one down a notch.

Time to lurk CP. It's been awhile.

Remember to shower and disinfect afterwards

I have noticed Brown is usually the first man back to the defensive zone as well.

He’s exactly what the doctor ordered.

 

[fireantz]

Certainly an upgrade on Yamo and Pulj

 

[OilynutEsquire]

I think there's too many guys playing well for Erne to get a spot. I wouldn't be against him getting a contract and starting in the AHL though.

Ya, i hope if he doesnt make the team he gets through to bakersfield, incredible depth piece to have waiting for the first injury. He would have made every oiler team for the last couple decades.

Does any feel bad for the Flames getting curved stomped? I got a warm fuzzy feeling in my stomach and thought what is wrong with me then, I thought I was feeling bad for the Flames. I realized it was a good feeling enjoying a good beat down of the Flames.

Sorry fellow Oiler's fans . I had to remove the video posting. I never watched it all and when I did there was some slurs about gays so I had to remove it. Apologies if I offended anyone as it was not my intention.

Yup!!!! So pumped we got him!

Connor Brown must be feeling more settled in after a couple goals. Playing on a new club that must help out. The one goal was a tap in but the other was a beauty snipe on a quick release. Not the finish you'd see from Yamamoto there.

Yeah. I was glad to see Brown get those goals last night. As you say, it probably does help him feel settled regardless of the scrub level of competition. I may be wrong here, but I also thought ‘damn, filthy release’ on the second goal. However a reverse side replay seemed to show that half the net was wide open.

About the Yamamoto comment. I hope we aren’t going to have to keep seeing you say this all year long. Everyone knows you hated the guy for being small and limited. No need to keep beating that drum. Additionally, let’s not forget that Puljujarvi who had your vocal support all along, and who is BIG, missed many many chances like that as well. And fell on his face while doing so. So to be fair, if you are going to keep bringing up the little guy you hated, at least occasionally bring up the BIG guy that you loved too.

Its all fair. Oilers are better off with neither. But Yama was always in topsix blowing chances and Pulju increasingly spent most of his time in bottomsix so not quite the same.

Yeah I hope not to mention either often or at all. Hopefully I don't have to when we play Seattle.

Anyway the honest impression I got seeing Brown score the snipe goal from the slot was thats a goal we've been missing from some of our topsix addons. I think Pulju could get 10 of those setups and not hit the net 3 times. Even on the tapin I've seen those missed often enough. Brown is actually ready for the puck to come to him.

Pulju didn't have my vocal support all along. he didn't even have my support until after Holland got him back and that he seemed to be at least working hard and trying hard. I was not a fan of the player all the time.

A Smid-Petry 1st pairing is the definition of pain.

I thought Smid was going to be a future all star when we traded for him.

Brown is going to be a MASSIVE upgrade on Yammo. I don't even count JP as a comparison.

So they show what one f***ing game on sparsesnet.

I think that likely has to do with the Oilers (Oilers+) wanting to put Pre-season games behind a paywall.
Sportsnet is just honoring that.

 

[Jumptheshark]

curious to know what those flames fans who thought a lot of the 10-0 game vs Vancouver think of this 7-2 games and if their view is the same as it was then?

 

[RegDunlop]

Is this an Oilers minus game? Prob not on SN correct?

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Looks like it. Pittsburg and Buffalo are on then Calgary and Vancouver.

I agree with your reasoning.
And f*** the Oilers and SN for that.

Yeah the only thing that happened was the flames website got my clicks and ad traffic. And I got to watch the oilers feed on the flames site

 

[KMart27]

Sportsnet has never televised Oiler preseason games except against the Canucks. No different this year.

Don't think it's that, SN West has declined to televise any Oiler or Flame pre-season games for a decade or so, despite every other Canadian and quite a few (probably even a majority) American teams getting their games on TV in the same time span. Not a new thing at all.

It's beyond dumbfounding that the Oilers have among the highest rated local broadcasts in the NHL, but SN refuses to televise the games.

Fair points.
SN also has 2 dedicated channels for Oilers and Flames games so they could have televised the pre season games and it wouldnt have interrupted any of other scheduled programming.

Honestly, who even cares about thus last game. Won't be watching it.
