SOLI'S SHORTSIDE​

• Talbot returns. Im guessing Slepy with 1 game till he's waiver eligible isn't going to play. Guessing Caggiula on the 4th line.
  
• We're playing an afternoon game, on the road in Minnesota, versus a backup goaltender. So... yeah.

[Jumptheshark]

[BoldNewLettuce]

Ye olde season 'nder

 

[Dashh]

at least brossoit is gone. get rid of this kid forever

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Going out on a limb that the Oilers in a win one, lose one, win one, lose one, cycle keep the cycle going and win one. Break the afternoon game, backup goalie, road game in Minnesota curses!

 

[TKB21]

Uggggg I’m starting to think I actually hate this team.

 

[McBeastMode]

at least brossoit is gone. get rid of this kid forever

He's still the backup........

 

[backhandsauce]

I think the Wild need to pepper Talbot right away. Get him into the game. I hope he doesn’t let in a stinker in the first 5 mins or we are done.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

9-0 Oilers.

Because why not.

 

[McJadeddog]

lol. oh, well. They tried?

hahah, oh jesus. This is going to not be very pretty at all is it?

 

[SniperOnTheWing]

Talbot and Draisaitl bounce-backs begin today.

 

[PaPaDee]

If I can’t find anything better to do, I might try watching this one. 4-1 in the games I’ve watched on TV.

 

[snipes]

No optimism about this one

 

[McBeastMode]

If we hear this phrase today "Pull Talbot", the sesaon is officially over..

 

[LTIR]

Excel Energy centre... compensate?

 

[nexttothemoon]

Well last game was a disappointing home loss... so here comes a big win on the road.

 

[Jumptheshark]

at least brossoit is gone. get rid of this kid forever

yeah cause getting shutout twice in the last 3 games was his fault

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Two things suggest to me the Oilers win today:
1. They lost last game and seem to find streaking difficult lately.
2. Just when you think you have them figured out they do the opposite of what you expect. So, playing a backup goalie in an afternoon game in Minnesota = guaranteed loss....except that's what you'd expect.

 

[Ninety7]

Hard to find hope in this one lol

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Go Oilers!

 

[Joey Moss]

1-0 loss incoming

 

[booyakasha]

Oilers win this one.....Ima say 3 - 1.

 

[snipes]

I wonder if Pulju will get any PP time?

Who am I kidding, that dainty **** Woodcroft won't give him a second.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Was up all night barfing with the flu.
Don't make me barf today Oilers!
