[Coachcorner]

Lovely and funny GDT y'all. Was actually just poppin in on check on y'all and whom plays with the davids and there it was I was treally hoping for this too sires and sirettes. Have fun and wish y'all all the best to the gezame! :celebration:

 

[NeverForget06]

That is what Klefbom will look like be seasons' end if we keep getting these injuries

Great GDT yet again !

I actually kind of like this East Coast swing, lots of time in between games to get in some practice. Lets win another one of the Island!

 

[NedPlimpton]

First game of the season I'll get to watch live!

Excited to see some more European showtime.

Traveling 5 hrs total on the bloody subway and bus from North Manhattan to see this. Oilers better show up.

 

[Faelko]

I sense if this team can gain some confidence they might, just might, surprise us and make the playoffs.

A 3-0 start would certainly help.

BTW: Beauty GDT, well done!

 

[PaPaDee]

Any sense of what the lines will look like for this one? Will Sheahan be ready?

Oil gonna dominate again tonight, I'm guessing they score at least 7 tonight and keep the isles to 2 or less. This is the fast start they'll need to dominate the west and with the depth this team has down the middle, they won't slow down.

wondering the same thing as it would keep Drais minutes down.

Well you got the "I'm confused" part right on your profile, the game isnt till tomorrow

Wow, is that normal?! I had no idea getting out to the coliseum was that much of a commitment. Kudos to you!

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

“A big slow turd” Funny GDT!

Going to be an interesting game tomorrow. Oilers win if they play a game in between the two they won at home.

Koskinen with the start, McDavid with another big game, Leon with 2, RNH gets his first. Oilers win 5-2.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Great gdt (albeit a day early for the second game in a row )

This game will be a huge measuring point for our young dmen, nyi is a fast and heavy forechecking team, something they havent seen in the first two games.

On that note, i originally wanted Kosk to play this game, but based on my point above i think Smith is a much better matchup against nyi (as long as he avoids blunders like sat)

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I made a GDT too but I’ll save it for the Jersey game now. Might have to get a GDT sign up going again so we know when someone else is making one.

Great work @ConnorMcMullet!! ****ing hilarious man lol. Let’s make it 3-0!

Thanks! Sorry, I must have missed that. A GDT sign-up thread is a good idea.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

I voted All of Them in the poll. I assumed you meant goals for and against.

 

[McJC]

Draisaitl, Klef, and McDavid played 26, 26, and 24 minutes respectively... we're asking a ton from those guys. Too much too early

 

[PinSeeker]

For all the defensive liabilities that may come up because of it, having Bear/Persson as your top 2 RD is such a boost for offense. They know how to move the puck, there is no doubt.

Sheahan back will reduce Drai's PK time drastically.

 

[Snowpants]

Would like them to win or course but I watched Isles Jets and Isles pushed the pace from the second period on going to be tough to match all four of their lines at that speed

Isles took apart the Jets D last night after a slow start just dominated possession time

ours is better right now sure but by how much?

Didn't see the game so of course this data needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but the numbers tell a different story:
Winnipeg Jets @ New York Islanders, 2019-10-06

Corsi has its limitations though, I like HDCF% as a great indicator of true scoring opportunities, which supports your observation.

So what was the reason? Jets D is decimated right now so yeah I would hope the Oil fare better.

Those minutes will go down with Sheahan returning.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

6 of those minutes were on the PP for Klefbom.

All of them, actually.

Would like to see Draisaitl and McDavid around that 23 minute mark though. However on nights with lots of PP time, that's not an outrageous number.

Don't cancel your dinner reservations for tonight as the game isn't until tomorrow. I think they're 2-0 with early GDTs posted...going for 3-0 .

To (partially) quote Pumpkin Escobar from Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back:

I don't know what the f*** you just said, but it touched my heart.

 

[SwedishFire]

Sheahan doing Sheahan things. Unload draisaitls heavy lifting, and benching Cave. At the same time.
