my work doesnt care if i watch at my desk...they are obviously all big fans as our company holds about 50-55 season tickets

The issue is most work sites block interesting websites lets call it. including streaming services like Sportsnetlive or now or whatever the hell its called.

 

[Faelko]

Pretty sure Lindholm is out for Anaheim.

 

[McBeastMode]

Man I hate afternoon games.

Would be nice to make it 2 for 2 on this trip.

I wonder if they're gonna call some of Kesler's interference infractions on McDavid? I doubt it. Lol.

Yeah but then what do the refs tell Corey? Hes watching and they are nervous to not upset him.

Hitch teams take crap from no one. Expect Kesler to run into the Lucic and Kassian line a lot.

 

[NeverForget06]

He seems genuinely happy since he has arrived here. Aside from when he saw Benning in action.

I mean from his perspective it's probably pretty fun. Get to coach the best player in the world. If he actually gets us to the playoffs people will praise him as a miracle worker and if he doesn't it was because the Oiler's roster is junk and Chia will be fired. Really a win-win.

 

[0ilerman]

A regulation win puts us ahead of Anaheim in the standings. Day games always feel kinda bleh, but this is actually a huge game

It's always nice to dream.

But the new Oilers have a coach that will let the refs know if he thinks they made a bad call or missed one. All Todd ever did was look down at the monitor and put another piece of gum in his mouth. I really think the players will FINALLY think their coach has their backs.

 

[McDrai]

Hopefully Koskinen's pad is big enough that Kesler won't be able to hold it down

 

[Coffey]

I hope our players don't get chapped lips and dry skin.
They aren't used to being in dry Anaheim compared to humid Edmonton.

Not to mention, a coach that will probably get McDavid away from a matchup when its not working for McDavid.

 

[elmeroil]

A rare 4pm start for me, I'll take it! Excited about a game in late Nov, nice change after feeling like this season was pretty much over after the Vegas loss.

 

[bone]

I honestly can't figure out which of our bottom 2 forward lines end up getting more ice time.
I donno if I'd wanna be on the ice vs Lucic and Kassian.
Rattie on the 4th line? I really don't know what they can expect him to accomplish down there.

Considering half of the 4th line shifts are with McDavid or RNH at centre, it's actually not a bad spot. I suspect Leon will get some shifts there as well.

 

[duxfan1101]

Here are our more updated lines if any of you wanted to know:
Rakell-Getzlaf-Kase
Aberg-Henrique-Silfverberg
Cogliano-Kesler-Sherwood
Ritchie-Kossila-Gibbons

Larsson-Manson
Mahura-Montour
Pettersson-Welinski

 

[bone]

That'll all depend on the refs I think, trying to find out who's in for them but no updates yet lol. Watch it be Tim Peel.

View media item 3429
Don't like the looks of Anaheim's record with Hanson (12-4), nor Edmonton's (5-10). Has a minor tendency to favor the home team for penalties, but doesn't seem to skew the results as the road team wins more often than the typical average.

South appears to be significantly influenced by the home side in an extremely small sample size (19 games) for penalties but the results are pretty even.

Lots of OT games when these guys are in.

 

[BlackDogg]

Hopefully they practiced the 10 second PP.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Zero chance that happens.

 

[Jet Walters]

Let's go boys!! Lil Hitch in our giddy-up. Lil C*ck in our walk.

 

[A91]

Here are our more updated lines if any of you wanted to know:
Rakell-Getzlaf-Kase
Aberg-Henrique-Silfverberg
Cogliano-Kesler-Sherwood
Ritchie-Kossila-Gibbons

Larsson-Manson
Mahura-Montour
Pettersson-Welinski

Thanks, happy to see Mahura.
Local kid I know some of his family.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Maybe this game the Ducks will only score one goal with the net empty instead of 2 or 3.

 

[snipes]

Hitch is the ****ing man.

He’s the exact guy we need.

 

[TB12]

The hell kind of name is Furman South??

 

[FlameChampion]

Rakell-Getzlaf-Kase
Aberg-Henrique-Silfverberg
Cogliano-Kesler-Sherwood
Ritchie-Kossila-Gibbons

Larsson-Manson
Mahura-Montour
Pettersson-Welinski

No Fowler or Lindholm. Hopefully we can take advantage of their banged up defense.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Yeah I was apprehensive when they announced the hiring but after hearing his take on things this week he seems to really get what the team needs which is a breath of fresh air. The players seem on board so far. Hopefully the team continues to respond. Really excited to see the team perform tonight after some practice time with Hitch.

Also, I would love to see Kesler get his ass handed to him today.
