[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Expecting at least 5 tonight.

"in the trenches" lol

At least it fits with the GDT theme.

Shit I meant to quote the post below this...lol

Ah f*** here we go. The injuries.

Same here. I’ve been reading this book as recommended by Lex Fridman. Oh the looks I was getting when I went to pay for it...

 

[Oilers in NS]

They dont call it Alber-TA for nothing, wink wink.

Good point
For every 10 I seen, some should not have. We cheered them on.

 

[FlameChampion]

I dont mind Russell being in but I just dont think he should be in before a Nygard. I feel like he hasnt really been given a shot this year.

Hopefully for Jones sake, he has a good game (if he plays). He doesnt seem to have much rope with Tippett these days.

Kind of scared of this game. Feels like a trap.

 

[Mav3rick07]

Canucks are fragile.

Oilers are confident .


I like our chances in this two game series.

Bad news... Tonight is a loss. Then we beat them next and the Leafs twice. Can't argue math.haha

Or if we look at it from the beginning of the year:

L w L
L w L
w L L
w w w L
w w w L
w w w ?

The first two 3 game segments followed one pattern, it changed in the next 3 game segment, then there was a new pattern for two 4 game segments. Is this segment part of the same 4 game pattern expressed now 3 times over, or is it the start of a new pattern?

That is actually a very good book, a must read for anyone interested in WW2 history.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Unreal GDT I really enjoyed that. Bravo.
Beat the Canucks boys. It's pretty simple if they want to look like a top team. These are two very winnable games.

Frankly, if they lost tonight, then won three straight before losing the fourth game in that set, I'd be okay with that 5 game stretch. Would likely close the gap a tiny bit on Toronto.

 

[Oilers in NS]

I just realized something on TV here

That stupid Santa Fe Hyundai commercial where the kid pisses himself in the back seat has changed . He makes it out now.
wasn’t well directed that stupid commercial.

 

[Snipes45]

So no confirmation about bear or Jones?

Sounds like legesson should be ready to go soon as well

I’m a loser?

Or the first ten games were two five game segments to start
L W L L W
L W L L W

Followed by 2 four game segments of:

W W L W
W W L W

We've started the next stretch W W, so who knows what will happen.

Ultimately, since this season is exactly Eight 7-games series' (like playoffs). So far, they've gone:

3-4
4-3

They are currently 5-1 in the current 7 game segment suggesting the pattern could be 5-2 making tonight a loss.

However, the pattern also suggests it would be followed by a 6-1 run in the next seven game segment which would kick ass since four of the games are vs. Toronto and Calgary.

I do love me some European history, I’ll have to check it out.

I do love me some European history, I’ll have to check it out.

It’s widely recognized as one of the best accounts of the era. Shirer was a US Correspondant who was stationed in Germany during the interwar years and saw first hand how the Nazis came to power and eventually ruled. It’s not a light read but a very important one and I am sure any reader today can see parallels to what is happening in some countries today.

I see somebody else doesn't want to do actual work today either.

I think I read that Jones is in and Bear is out.

As others have already said, excellent, excellent read.

And I got the same looks, haha.

 

[rboomercat90]

He's alright compared to a lot of the other sports media guys here but he definitely comes across as an ambulance chaser type and I'll never forget the Montoya thing:

I forgot Al Montoya ever played here.

 

[gordonhught]

wait until you get a post from gregor saying that he should be in the front

 

[Drivesaitl]

Patrick Russell over Nygard?

No thanks.

Nygard is made of glass. Over/under on whether he gets through one single game unscathed. Probably not built for the NHL.
