GDT: Wednesday BOA - Turtle Hunting

[I am the Liquor]

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

To mate, a male will climb onto a female's back while she is swimming horizontally in the water. On their front flippers, males have long claws, which they use to hook on to the leading edge of the female's shell — these claws are quite sharp and will often cut into the female's soft flesh near her shell


Matt Tkachuk is a sexual deviant.

And we respond with adding Jujhar "Charmin" Khaira who hasn't played with an edge pretty much all season long back to the lineup. If they want blood then we should be signing and bringing up Peluso or someone even bigger and badder if they're out there.

Well this is Jujar's chance IMO. He needs to go in and treat this as a jail yard and knock the biggest dude out.

So all this time the saddledome has been an upside down turtle shell....u know like a turtle on its back waiting to expire.....
They could rename it the TURTLEDOME

Well either way I assume that when they get their next arena, it won't be saddle-shaped. So that would be the time to call it the Turtledome.

I like what you wrote about the coward OP, but if the team goes into this game thinking about revenge on turtle, then turtle will win yet another battle. This game, first and foremost, needs to be about 2 points! If they want to hit and hit hard, I'm good with that. Hit Johnny crybaby, monahan, and those chicken sh1t cowards. Make those guys pay for everything turtle has done. DON'T get dragged into another BS exchange with turtle. We know the refs will give them everything and us nothing. 2 points is the most important thing here.

The only thing I like better than there being a HUGE Battle of Alberta on Wednesday, is that there is another one on Saturday.

 

[Stoneman89]

Not sure why it bothers you, a non-professional athlete that toils in wherever it is you toil, enough to post about it.

Some things will remain a mystery.

As you chose to post about mine.Not sure what your point is.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Well, look, if THIS game doesn't bring out the edge in Jujhar after sitting for so long, I think we can safely cast every aspersion on him. He CAN do it and he should have all the motivation on earth to do it.

Well this is Jujar's chance IMO. He needs to go in and treat this as a jail yard and knock the biggest dude out.

This is his shot to come out and raise a little hell and show that he can bring something to the team that no one else in the bottom 6 can. We don't need Nurse or Kassian fighting Lucic or that AHL dud.

 

[KlefDown]

time to go big game hunting

 

[booyakasha]

So the Flames call up an AHL goon?
Isn't that why they traded for Lucic?LOL
Paying pooch 6 mill and still have to call up a plug

Same!!!!

As long as we win.

 

[Weitz]

I hope the Oilers just totally ignore Tkachuk and any rough stuff.

Win the game. Its all that matters.

The saturday game will be harder with a tough St Louis game on friday. The points on wednesday are huge.

 

[nabob]

We should call up Bouchard, he’s got old man dad strength!!

Jujar can fight that loser from Stockton, Kassian can ragdoll the Turtle and Lucic can skate around doing nothing all game.

No dude, Lucic is whatever the narrative needs him to be. He's just the best. It's like an abusive relationship; they do it to cope with the beating our GM laid down on them last summer.

 

[backhandsauce]

We got last change this time around. McDavid can feast on those guys.

 

[Stoneman89]

Good that the Lames weakend their lineup by having to play a plug.

 

[McTrashBoat]

I hate to say anything positive about the flames but isnt that call up their leading scorer? Not exactly a goon

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

By 1 and there are probably about 3 other guys you'd expect to get before him. They're calling him up for a "reason"

I said this on twitter, I would love to see Archibald lay this coke machine out. There's no way Robinson skates at an NHL level.

He's one of their higher scoring players but is also 28 years old, so this isn't about giving a kid with potential a chance.

That said, he doesn't have an extensive fight card, despite elevated PIMs. Looks more to me like a big tough player to ratchet up the physicality if needed, but not necessarily to "goon it up". I'm confident the Oilers roster has enough toughness to deal with it if necessary. Odds are he gets a couple shifts early but disappears if the game is played within the rule book. With it being the second of a back-to-back for Calgary, that's possibly a good thing if he's only out there for 3-4 minutes.

[ToeMcDrag83]

Bleh, I want Archi on the top line.

Given the context of Kassian's return, Archibald might find himself there for some of the game if Zack's in the box for a while.
And maybe get a few reps anyways to control Zack's minutes a bit.

 

[Captain Pilsner]

Can someone, anyone, please please please throw a plush/plastic turtle on the ice during the anthem? More the better, and shouldn't be too hard to sneak in

 

[Oil Dood]

Pfft, he has played 40 games and is trailing Quine who has played 29 games and tied with Phillips who has played 28. He has scored more because:

1 - Calgary lacks real top end prospects up front
2- He has played more then the guys ahead of him and tied with him
3- If he was remotley that good at his size he would have been up over Jankowski, he is not that good

Calgary is sending a message here.
