SOLI'S SHORTSIDE​

• Projected lineups. Talbot's confirmed starter. Slepy to IR, Pulju recalled. Believe Jesse will slide onto the Nuge and Looch line. Jujhar Khaira was practicing (place filling) on that line during practice.
• Chance to do some Chris Kreider and Michael Grabner scouting. Hah, but seriously, the Rangers are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. They have a better record than us (but we're turning that around!), so maybe their panic button ain't gonna get pressed.

Morning game. D9OOOOOOOOOOMED

 

[Chef de Cuisine]

so close to .500, let's go boys!

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Glad it's done, I'm sure you guys really didn't want to know about the f8 of the ice cream Oreo cookie and have a video of fat ******* on as gdt tunes.

Rangers are on a roll, as are we.

Should be an interesting game I hope.
wins 1-0

 

[NeverForget06]

If the Oilers win an afternoon game I will believe they are back.

 

[StupidGenius]

Hoping to wake up to a win, expecting a typical matinee auto-loss.

Still would have a chance to turn in a 3-1 road trip, which would be excellent.

 

[Reindl87]

This will the first NHL game ever to be televised live on German free TV. And it's a Saturday 7PM so it's at primetime, too.
Therefore, it would really be good, if the Oilers and Draisaitl had a great game. Could really help hockey in Germany!

 

[Laineux]

Oilers always lose the games that come with Finnish commentary. This time the day game that has Finnish commentator is Sens-Avs, so I actually have some hope that they might win this one.

 

[King1s]

Prime time hockey and I am going to see a girl. What a fail. Well at least I get to have some musta makkara.

what a win, you mean. girls are more important than hockey.

 

[duul]

I think our team is too slow to win 3 straight. Got outplayed last game but snuck out a win. The Rangers are playing great and it would be very surprising if we won this game.

Now if McDavid woke from his slumber, then that would be a whole nother story...

 

[BlackDogg]

what a win, you mean. girls are more important than hockey.

Take it slow and see where it goes....

That's what the Oilers would do.

 

[Mr Sakich]

has anyone actually checked our record in afternoon games? It feels like it is not real good but I have no real data to support that feeling.

I was excited because this game was on for free on the NHL app, but now it's on t.v! Hell ya!.

It’s the perfect time for Draisaitl.

 

[shoop]

Great to see Puljujuarvi get his shot. The time is now for him to prove he belongs in the NHL.

If Puljujarvi sticks and both Caggiula/Slepy can get healthy then second scoring will hopefully come.

I just want to see a player that belongs in Puljujarvi. As the article posted in the Puljujarvi thread quoted Flemming saying "he needs to understand that he can help the team even when he is not scoring". No stress with scoring, the team should be able to handle that with or without him. He just needs show that he belongs.

 

[booyakasha]

An actual GDT...Soli you are awesome!

 

[NedPlimpton]

Early game is good for me, but usually bad for the team. I dunno!

Excited to see some Puujsjsjsiarvi though.

Thanks for letting us know, that is very interesting. Would be better for Edmonton, and exposure, if it was a home game and I expect there will be others but its cool its in the Big Apple as well. Heh, any of the last 2 OT results would have made for good German viewing.

Edit: Missed the most recent game :O
Using a cut off time of 2PM start (MST). In our last 15 afternoon games we are 4-10-1. Biggest thing that stands out to me is the number of goals against, maybe the goalies suffer without their pre game naps lol. 55 Goals over 15 games is 3.67/game. Yeesh.

But we also have to keep in mind the Eakins and Scrivens eras is in this snapshot of time.

[Ori]

Why play Leon D. out of position on the right wing?

Anyway, good luck! ))

 

[Faelko]

Afternoon game? 3-1 Rangers empty net.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

I read that third line and thought "pretty pretty good" then realized it was not the 4th line.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

When chev gets back I'd like to see

Maroon-Mcdavid-Slepy
Lucic-rnh-pulju
Drake-drai-kassian
Malone-strome-letestu
