Pissy p***y Power will bring the victory.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Please bury them and don't let them back into the game.

 

[joestevens29]

WTF how does the league even allow this? Obviously full priority given to the NBA

Tampa I believe a few years back had scheduling issues due to a disney on ice or a circus or some damn weird shit.

Clippers are moving out though to a new arena sometime in 2024

Did i hear that McDrai is on the same line?

Might be better than the current setup. Hyman and McD isn't working and Yamamoto isn't doing much on Drai line.

Kane-Drai-McD
Hyman-Nuge-Bjugstad
Foegele-McLeod-(Yama/McDavid)
Kostin-Drai-Ryan

 

[The Nuge]

We’ve absolutely dominated through 2 games with the best player in decades as a non factor. When Connor gets going, I fully expect like a 6-1 thumping

 

[Louis Cypher]

Is it too early for lucky bounce photos?

 

[Jet Walters]

 

[mkatcherin00]

So Woody is stacking the top line? They better play good defensively. Kane too? I thought I heard that on the radio at the tail end of listening to it.

 

[FlameChampion]

Did i hear that McDrai is on the same line?

If true, wonder if Woodcroft is going to have them together on the first line but then also have a open slot on the second line and double shift one of them (as opposed to having an extra hole on the fourth line).

Having a open spot on the second line creates chaos for McLellan who loves his matchups.

 

[PuckG]

I have faith in Stu. A few ugly ones which any rookie is prone too, but overall, the guy has bounced back over and over again all season.

With line ups, Klim should get a shot in the top 6 instead of Yamo.

Never

where did you hear this? they haven't practiced today yet

 

[TB12]

Have a feeling today won’t set any work productivity records in the Edmonton area.

Stu let in a weak one, but he also had some good saves. main one I remember is that cross crease PP one timer by the Kings. He slid to his right quick.

I wouldn't even be mad at Korpisalo if I was LA. He saved their a**es multiple times. He was a net positive.

Stu thus far, to me, has been even or a tiny slight net negative. Just my opinion. I think it can be hard sometimes when you don't face rubber for a while and you cannot get into the groove.

The kid turns it up. I expect a good drubbing.

Don't think that would work unless we want 2min shifts from Mc or Drai.

Doubleshifting on '3rd' line would give them some bench rest time before their shifts

Kane-McDrai
Hyman-Nuge-Bjugstad
Kostin-McDrai-Ryan
Foegele-McLeod-Yama

 

[fancy dan]

lol at OP putting nurse on the 2nd pair after he played like 26 mins last game and Ekholm was around 20 mins.

 

[YP44]

What they SHOULD have done, is rent out Honda Center for either games, but no, they have too much pride to have 3 fulltime professional teams in 1 building.

Clippers are moving out soon at least

I could be wrong. But I think Woodcroft has done what I am indicating multiple times this year. I also think that he did at times last playoffs against LA.

Its hard to know because when Oilers play 11-7, Woodcroft does some creative mixing and matching where it can be hard to tell what exactly the lines are.

Don't agree with this but to each their own. Skinner has been great when needed and made some big saves for us. Ofcourse only the gaffes stick in our mind.

Imagine this board if Skinner let in the goal that Kostin scored on Korpisalo. His positioning on Drai PP goal wasn't good either. If Bjugstad, Kane and Nuge could pick corners no one would be drooling over Korpisalos saves.

Oilers take my energy ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

 

[VainGretzky]

I hope the Oilers score on their only PP tonight

 

[Dynamic]

I love this team on the road lately. They play a simpler game and no pressure seems to help.

 

[Mr Positive]

we'll get PPs until we score on one. Then no more until LA scores on one, even if it takes 4 tries
