scene 1.png


The good ship Oiler has been puttering and sputtering along the NHL ocean for 6 years now, with a small but crack crew. However the ship was small, and it lacked the depth to take on its opponents who prowled below the surface, trying to sink the Oiler day after day.

Sure, its crack crew managed to gain some victories, however if they didn't do it, no one else did.

Scene 2.png


Admiral Chiarelli tried but managed to get depth that was either too old and worn out, too inconsistent, had no gunpowder, or just did well in the preseason wargames. The crack crew was getting frustrated.

The Commander in Chief kept muttering something being in the water as to why the depth didn't ever work. Yes, something was in the water alright...the enemy! And Oiler depth that didn't work!

Scene 3.png


Year after year went by, and nothing seemed to change. However one day in 2021, in the middle of a pandemic fog, a massive large ship carrying the Oiler flag emerged out of the fog. The crew had seen nothing like it before. Admiral Chiarelli only used a one man kayak that kept tipping over.

Then one day Admiral Chiarelli was keelhauled and never heard from again. A new Admiral was hired, and spoke of finding new depth, and being patient with new recruits. He had a reputation of sailing the biggest, baddest, meanest ship of them all.

Could it be.....

Scene 4.png


YES, YES IT IS.

The new Admirals ship emerged from the fog and suddenly was seen by the crack crew in all her glory!!!

The Admiral stepped onto the Bridge and waved to the crack crew on the old ship Oiler.

It was Admiral Holland!

Scene 5.png


Music played, trumpets blasted, the King of the High Seas and Lord of the Admiralty was here!

He hailed the crack crew and said - "I bring you trained recruits, mercenaries from other teams, an elderly but wise goaltender, defence, confidence and depth! Come aboard the new ship OILER!"
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Scene 6.png


The crack crew rejoiced.

They boarded the new ship OILER and let the old ship float away. It had many memories, most of them bad. It was time to make new memories on the new ship OILER with its large crew and lots of depth! They no sooner boarded then the klaxon alarm went off!!!!!

ENEMY SIGHTED AT 8 O CLOCK!!!!

Time to hunt some Flame submarine.

Scene 7.png


The new crew went right to work, locating the enemy and began furiously lobbing Pizza and Bouchard bombs into the water. One after the other after the other. The pressure was relentless, from which there was no escape.

Depth was hurled at the enemy, one after the other after the other.

Scene 9.png


The enemy tried to evade and tried to attack the OILER.

However it was the OILER depth that continued a furious assault on the enemy.

It was no use.

FINAL VICTORY WAS OURS, AND WILL BE OURS.

With DEPTH, the new ship piloted by Admiral Holland King of the Ocean and Lord of the Admiralty the OILER shall be the terror of the seas.

@5minsforfighting I love your combination of storytelling and comedic genius! The section about the abandoned anchors on the bottom of the sea floor but they were just Mark Fayne and Andrew Ference, had me howling, along with the ever present but sinking Rattie in the various panels was so funny. I hope the game later tonight provides as much enjoyment as the GDT opener did. Well done sir!

I think all future GDTs should be made by either @Wen22 or @5 Mins 4 Ftg

I think getting our virtual likes should be more than enough compensation for their time and effort. :sarcasm:

*Takes sledgehammer to drawing tablet*
Oh no, how did that happen, so unfortunate!

I do feel bad that @5 Mins 4 Ftg puts so much effort in his GDT's, while I half ass mine

Another awesome one again!

What? yours aren't 1/2 assed at all! It might just be easier because you're used to drawing the Oilers and can probably do it faster, but they're solid GDTs!!!

Who was the jagoff beside Cassie guffawing about oiler depth.

Jagoff; saying the oilers have depth is ridiculous. Sure they are getting depth scoring but I don't think we can say they have actual depth.

Other guy; well they are winning games right now because of their depth scoring

Jagoff; no.

Me; ....?

Jagoff; ....just....no.

Cassie Campbell blows
Like the sinking Calgary (F)Lames
Depth charge the bitches!

A Haiku ... taking into consideration discussions as of late. The battleship made me think of Japan, and thinking of Japan lead straight into Haikus.

I know Haikus are generally about seasons, mine is about the hockey season.

Hoping for and expecting another win for the Admiral Holland and his battleship Oilers.

p.s. I am not a Haiku-ist (Haikuet? Haikuer?), so be nice. ;)

That's like McDavid saying that he half assed last season after Draisaitl won the Hart. At the end of the day, you are both elite talents and are a gift to this board.

Or how about just getting a win in regulation. Who cares how they get it done?

A win is a win but Calgary are so down on themselves as are their fans, like an 8-0 win would be very amusing to watch and send them spiraling further into a pit of despair.

Koskinen starting? Gonna need 5+ goals to have a chance for a win.
Both goalies are risky as hell. It's like a switch if they are on or off, and there's no way to tell how it will be.

Might as well always split the duties and go with the freshest one. I don't think they get into streaks either. Smith was awesome at first, then awful, then good again.

Plus we need to give Koskinen a fresh slate now that he's not over played. He'll probably be better now that he gets rested.
