Talbot starts again...

Mcdavid with 5 goals tonight... some dude who went to safeway to get eggs this morning for his wife wins 1 million$ Book it

But really hes a smoker and hiding it from her... so the only reason he actually agreed to go to the store this morning was so he could sneak a couple darts in

But then she finds out he was smoking and leaves him... taking 500k and the kids and making him pay child support and alimony effectively leaving him broke

 

[780il]

We're gonna get blown outta the water, aren't we?

 

[Llamamoto]

We're gonna get blown outta the water, aren't we?

I have a good feeling about this one. I think we'll blow them outta the water.

 

[GameChanger]

For those that were wondering, my son is recovering at the hotel room and feeling well after what ended up being a 5 hour surgery yesterday. We'll probably be traveling home during the game tonight but are both hoping for the club to pull out a big win tonight.

Thanks for the update, I'm so happy it all went well! I've had a bit similar experience, though probably a milder one, but I know how terrifying it must've felt. Have a safe trip back home!

Karlsson is out? We have a chance

Funny story...I have a buddy who works in law enforcement. He nabbed a guy going 30 over. He approaches the speeder, goes through his spiel and tells him he got his speed at 130. The driver says "I know I was speeding officer, my wife called me about 10 minutes ago and told me she was done and is leaving me. I was racing home to help her pack."

They won the last game and he was solid. Team is 2 points out of a playoff spot with 28 games left. Koskinen has been crap for a couple months now and Hitch doesn’t trust him. Hitch wants to make the playoffs so is going with whom he thinks gives him the best chance.

Based on those facts, what is so hard to believe?

I'm not the biggest believer in Talbot, but got to go with the hot hand. Or the warmer hand anyways.

Whether Talbot is being shopped/showcased...or whatever you want to call it, he flat out deserved this start with his game against Minny and the first 40 against Chicago, whether he eventually gets dealt or not.

Hopefully he picks up where he left off from the other night.

One of the few decisions Hitch has made this year that isn’t a head scratcher. No brainer, really.

Agreed. You guys know I’m not a fan of Talbot but he seems hungry again. Start him until he blows it.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

I expect them to somehow creep into 4th in the divij.

 

[T-Funk]

I bet he blows it 3 minutes in.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Thanks, I updated the lines. I put Brodziak on the 3rd, Malone down to 4 and Gravel subbed in Benning's spot with Manning, which are all guesses.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I would do Gravel for Benning any day of the week.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Biggest thing I like about playing the shark.

No ex Oilers to burn us game in and game out.

 

[McFlash97]

Normally I'm pretty down on the Oil, but tonight a strange feeling came over me....

We won

5-3

McDavid scores a hatty and 4 point game. The scoring race gets blown right open. Connor begins his ascension into greatness as he starts to pace for 130 plus

OV looks back and notices the Race for the Rocket has also commenced.

They just have that Logan Couture guy that seems to burn us every game.

 

[The Batman]

These stats are gross:

• Edmonton has lost four straight at home and are 2-10-0 in their last 12 games at Rogers Place
• The Oilers 75.1 percent penalty kill ranks 30th in the NHL

Hopefully we see some solid effort and a win from the team.

Also, Connor McDavid is the Batman.

 

[Del Preston]

Is Petrovic hurt?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Can we play the Ducks instead?

However, f***ing Couture manages to get on the scoresheet just about every game. He owns the Oilers.
