[Yablo21]

5-4 OIL, with Talbot plays well but still lets in 4. McD/RNH/Drai with big nights secures the victory.

if we win this game it'll be 2-1 or 1-0

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

our D squad.. yikes

I think I'll pick up an extra 6 pack tonight. I might need it.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

This is just a loss. Talbot in, no Klefbom. But we'll get the W vs Philly.

I'll be happy to be wrong about tonight, though.

 

[FlameChampion]

Will be interesting to see what the Cagguila - Spooner and Rieder line can do. Hope Hitchcock starts to give this line some more minutes.

The defense scares me though. Klefbom is a big loss but so is Russell.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Bad feeling about this one. The forward group looks great, the 4th line looks very fast. But the defense worries me, especially the bottom pairing. Talbot doesn't inspire confidence either.

I think we beat Philly though. Winning both would be absolutely huge.

 

[Cloned]

My bet is Russell will play and he’s just getting a break from practice because he got banged up against Colorado.

 

[Canovin]

5-2 Oilers

In cock we trust

 

[nhlisajoke]

My bet is Russell will play and he’s just getting a break from practice because he got banged up against Colorado.

he's officially out for tonight

 

[dem]

Oh shit Russell is out too???


Oy

 

[HoistTheCup]

Go Jets!

 

[NeverForget06]

Well if we can stay in this one I will really believe in this team. Odds are against us here, but we always play reasonably well against the Jets. Hopefully they forgot about the whole blowing a 3 goal lead and losing in overtime thing here.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Wideman is actually underrated here. He's a solid offensive dman (.90 pts/60 at ES in his career) and his underlying defensive numbers .. RelT GA/60 are solid as well.

I think people are shitting on him before even really seeing what he can do and I think he's going to be a solid option in the bottom pairing and likely adds a little offense from the blueline as well which is definitely needed.

 

[Cloned]

he's officially out for tonight

Ooh .. well, get the beers handy tonight I guess lol

 

[Mez]

Holy shit that defence...13-3 Jets

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Gee russel out as well? Talbot in net? Not looking good.

 

[Mav3rick07]

Russell’s out too?

Jesus Christ the hockey gods f***ing hate us.

Hitch said Russell is out tomorrow as well. Losing streak incoming ?

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Go Jets!

I enjoy that you are a jets fan and your name is “hoistTheCup” considering they have never won one.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Jets will crash and burn tonight.

Screw talking Hockey. That Guile theme brings back so many memories! My favourite along with Balrog's theme

 

[LMFAO]

Is this the worst defense in history of defense? Somebody post the Michel Therien video from pittsburgh plz

 

[SaltNPeca]

Oilers pregame at WPG:

Chiasson-McDavid-Draisaitl
Khaira-RNH-Puljujarvi
Lucic-Brodziak-Kassian
Caggiula-Spooner-Rieder

Nurse-Larsson
Gravel-Benning
Garrison-Wideman

Russell & Jones, whose sticks showed up but not his hockey bag from last night’s flight, not on the ice.

Have a feeling this is going to be a looonnnnggg game

No Zykov, no win.

You must be a family man.

 

[nexttothemoon]

No Zykov, no win.

No kidding... he carries the team on his back and powers them to their 1st 4 game winning streak in recent memory and then they PB him.

Yes the Oilers are the first team to have the defense decimated by injuries in NHL history.
