SOLI'S SHORTSIDE​

• Projected lineups and starting goaltenders.
• Doesn't look like Brandon Manning is cracking the lineup
• Leon still experiencing concussion-like symptoms. IIRC I heard Caggiula's ailment is also concussion-like symptoms.

[Blue Line Turnover]

I really want to see Nuge keep his strong play up. He has too much skill to not be a difference maker.

 

[DaGap]

Ugg afternoon games suck

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Yay, 7pm Oil game for me!

 

[Jepprey]

just win, baby!

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Gonna find my baby gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight

damned early afternoon

 

[NedPlimpton]

I enjoy early games.

I hope we win.

That is all.

Ugg afternoon games suck

Oilers don't do well

 

[GMofOilers]

Yeah we dont do good in early games, and this is a huge game for us.

 

[Jet Walters]

Nothin' I love more than watching Maroon double fist a few Flyers players on a Saturday morning.

 

[shoop]

I like the forward lineup. When Draisaitl and Caggiula are healthy then Malone can become the 13th forward.

 

[McDrai]

If I remember correctly we are absolutely horrid in early games. Hopefully we change that today

 

[Laodongxi]

Is that why you bet the whole wad on the Flyers?

These sorts of statistics don't mean much to me because the Oilers have a long history of being absolutely horrid in any and all situations.

It's like how every starter we play against seems to have an 11-2 career record against the Oilers.

 

[Laodongxi]

Oops ... double post. Having trouble editing with the new format. I was talking to jumptheshark.

 

[Jet Walters]

How long until McDavid reintroduces himself to Brian Smelliot? God we lit him up last year. I'm surprised he's getting the start.

 

[ColdSteel2]

Any confirmation on Talbot? Need to know for fantasy. Thanks.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Would love to see the Oilers blow this game open instead of always keeping it close. Or their opponents blowing it open...

I'll be happy with a win. Flyers have been scoring a lot of goals (although shutout in 2 of the past 3 games), will be a good test for the defense to see if we're getting things sorted.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Is this the game that they bust out offensively... it's coming soon imo.

I mean I'd be happy with a win too but there were times last game where I aged considerably...

Dear Lord baby Jesus, lyin' there in your ghost manger, just lookin' at your Baby Einstein developmental videos, learnin' 'bout shapes and colors. We ask that you help us beat the Godless Flyers during this Unholy afternoon game.
