Nice job OP

Type of game which the Oilers should win but have a hard time. Glad we have Hitchcock now, I'm slightly less worried.

Let's go!

Our old friend Steve Kozari is reffing tonight.

Tonight’s NHL Referees and Linesmen – 12/16/18 - Scouting The Refs

Although, refs treating us like a sacrificial lamb to appease other teams seems to have stopped recently with Hitch.

Wouldn't underestimate the Canucks

Love this GDT. Good job OP!

Best GDT in a long while, good work McMullet. I got a pretty good laugh out of Kassian, Benning and Garrison, but Hitchcock was the piece de resistance.

B2B game for the Canucks, Oilers need to take advantage. Would be great if the Oilers could put another big number on the board and McDavid and Draisaitl could gain some ground on Rantanen and MacKinnon. Seems like as good a game as any for them to have 5 point nights.

I have a feeling that Sobey's/Safeway is giving away that $1,000,000 tonight.

 

[StupidGenius]

I have a feeling that Sobey's/Safeway is giving away that $1,000,000 tonight.

Sure, but the real question is whether or not Lucic gets all five in the first period.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

I just want McDavid to have one of those sweet 8 pt nights. Just 1 game to catch up to Rantanen, is that too much to ask for?

 

[Mez]

The time is nigh....Lucic shall scoreth tonight.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

I have a feeling that Sobey's/Safeway is giving away that $1,000,000 tonight.

Canucks are near the bottom of the league in GA, they played last night, and McDavid and Drai are close to top form right now. 5 goals would be a treat to see and would be a great Christmas gift for some lucky person.

97 ties sittlers record much to the chagrin of leaf fans. Year long epic thread appears on mains.

Edit, there's an actual sign near yorkton and it would be nice to have them take it down.

 

[IAGTTAYM]

Not to offend anyone here, but his on-ice vision and elusiveness cannot not remind of a certain old Oiler. Not to say that he's in the same ballpark, obviously, but stylistically there's more Gretzky to him than I've seen from any other player since

Agreed, I've had the same thought watching him play this season.

 

[Canada Drai]

If you vote less than 10 you're not a real fan.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

The Canucks played Markstrom last night, so I'm assuming Nilson gets the start tonight. Kind of an odd decision by Green if this is the case. You'd think he'd give Nilson the start against an offensively challenged team like Philly and start his #1 guy, who has been known to play pretty strong against Edmonton.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

The hitch and garrison cats floored me hahahaha great stuff. Oilers can’t take 5 penalties again. I hate the canuckle heads but those kids can score.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Obviously, Nurse is gonna have a huuuuuge game.(Looks like my cat)

Is that a young Tywin Lannister? Lol

Puljujarvi thinking about pizza and licking his nostril... priceless

Outstanding @ConnorMcMullet

Garrison is a dead cat!?

Baby face Nuge, Benning chasing his tail.

They're all really great

 

[Joey Moss]

Kassian's made me laugh hard

I haven't watched him much outside of highlights, so I'm excited to see how he plays tonight. By the looks of the highlights and based on the praise he's garnering throughout the NHL, it sounds like the Canucks have one hell of a player.

Between him and boeser, I'm hoping the Canucks are on the upswing and it leads to some good rivalries soon. I'm tired of the whiney flames.

 

[GameChanger]

It's nice to look at the roster and feel that it actually makes sense. For sure there are holes in the defense right now and some forwards can do more offensively, but Hitch really seems to know how to make sensible line combinations. There's going to be some losses at least here and there, and maybe also some more difficult times, but I also feel the team will keep improving under Hitch.

 

[BudBundy]

I still feel guilty about laughing at the Drai Cat.

 

[TennisBalls]

Amazing GDT. I miss the creativity we used to have.
