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?

Is this a serious question? Go take a look at who they iced on D and tell me the Oilers D isn't vastly better. The only player that was in their lineup that is/was NHL quality was Kulikov and you are really here trying to pretend Klefbom/Nurse/Russel/Bear is what barely an upgrade on the collection of no names they iced yesterday?

I had to double check but your right Morrissey isn’t even playing. That’s like 2012 Oiler bad.

Heinola - Pionk
Dahlstrom - Kulikov

That's the top4 and they all played ~20+ minutes. Yikes haha.

 

[Fmrnuckfan95]

Start Koskinen, who is with me?

That's bad. Sounds like mcdavid will have an easy time.

Are you sure you are a former Canuck fan? You know, I wouldn’t go around advertising that if I were you, especially around here....

Flying out to NYC Wednesday to catch Oil vs Devils and then Oil vs Rangers. Staying in Manhattan near times square. Does anyone know what is best way and return to get to Jersey to watch devils (Subway, Uber/cab). Also does anyone know where Oil usually stay around in NYC?

 

[Zaddy]

Hate this kind of start to the schedule. - play a game, wait 3 days, play a game, wait 3 days...

At least it's better than the Hawks schedule. Opener October 4th, next game October 10th

??

Seriously.

Do people not remember last season? The Oilers played one game in the first eight days of the season and that was with that game coming three days after the season started.

I'll take a couple two day breaks haha.

 

[PinSeeker]

Still don't like it!

Remember when the Jets had one of the best defence in the league? Now LA is looking to have a better defence then them.

Yeah, that was only 4 months ago. It's amazing how quickly they went from one of the best to possibly the worst.

 

[Louis Cypher]

If the Oilers win tomorrow the GTD's better keep coming a day early to keep the streak alive. Will get confusing if there are any back to back games I guess. Haha

Well it would be 13 straight at that point, so worry about once it happens.

 

[nexttothemoon]

If this early GDT strategy continues to work... I call dibs on making the 1st playoff GDT in advance on November 1st.

Things can happen fast in the new NHL. That is why, though getting Neal for Lucic is a fantastic start, Holland has more room to maneuver a deal for more upper tier D help if the kids can't handle it.

How do you get pionk for trouba?

 

[JordanGalhanth]

How do you get pionk for trouba?

The same way you can get Larsson for Hall.

Don’t take Uber or cab. There is a train from I think Penn Station that goes to right to Meadowlands and stops near the rink. There’s an indoor walkway to the rink. Follow the people in Devils jerseys lol. Take the same train back after the game.

Not sure where the Oilers stay. It’ll be the Ritz or JW Marriott or something like that.

Have fun! I did the 3 NY teams a couple years ago and it was a blast. Was supposed to go this year but circumstances said otherwise and so did my wife.

 

[MinimaMoralia]

How do you get pionk for trouba?

They also got Heinola, he’s been solid as an 18 year old walking into that wreckage. He’ll likely be a very steady top 4, possibly top 2 for them for years.

Maaaaybe

Pionk has probably been their best D so far.

He’s like a faster Benning, which would actually be a pretty good player.

 

[Mr Positive]

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

it is fine for a Dman like Klef. But I agree completely about Drai and McDavid. I am hopeful that our lower lines will gain some chemistry and help with that. (also as has been said, Sheehan will help too)
