GDT: [#66] Edmonton Oilers @ Dallas Stars, 7:30 PM CST (FSSW, Sportsnet West)

[Smelling Salt]

From yesterday. Hopefully Johns over Polak.

As per the Stars Regular Season thread, Dobby in net as Bishop is hurt. Perhaps the Drai/McD flu?

[Johno]

EBUG action!

 

[Kcb12345]

Sounds like they're just being extra cautious with Bishop but no need to risk it

 

[Kcb12345]

Will be interesting to see who the Stars matchup against who tonight. Usually in past games they have wanted Dickinson up against McDavid...do they go speed on speed though and risk it with Gurianov and Hintz out there too?

Draisaitl line (I believe they're separate now?) Will get the FCC trio I'm sure

I agree...FCC against Drai's line, and Dickie et al on McDavid and hopefully the D holds up as well to help out Guri/Hintz.

1. Keep them off the PP. They devour souls on the PP
2. Drai's line is very questionable defensively...it would be nice to come up large in transition and a guy like Faksa is due
3. Take advantage of their mediocre goaltending

 

[catters078]

Hintz-Dickinson-Gurianov vs Mcdavid line will be a epic track meet.

Shame athanasiou isnt playing

 

[Coffey]

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Leon Draisaitl - Kailer Yamamoto

I thought AA was out for the season?

 

[Coffey]

I thought AA was out for the season?

Nope! He left in the 3rd period of a game and was back the next game.

The McDavid line leaks way more chances then the Drai line. They have a huge goal diff since they got put together. Yammimoto is a +17.
The key to a Dallas victory is to play boring against Drai and McD. We get really exposed on our 4th line and our bottom pair.
I like y0ur chances in this one.

Play boring? I like our chances too then

When the Oilers get you into an end to end rush style game they are hard to beat. You have to grind them. Like I said play boring.

[M88K]

Winner get a big pile of coke

 

[The Tourist]

Not very often McDavid is the 3rd fastest player on the ice.

 

[ugrakarma]

Radulov is trying too much on his own.

 

[The Tourist]

My patience is wearing thin with Radulov lately.

Gurianov looks dominant early on.

 

[M88K]

Razor apparently was unaware of the Oilers Roster for the last few years

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Weak call.

 

[The Tourist]

Weak call.

I hate it. Hooking is such a shitty call in the new NHL. Barely touch a guy on the stick or gloves and they call it every time.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Is McDavid playing?

 

[ugrakarma]

Tom Selleck got a penalty.

 

[M88K]

Dallas has looked real good early, not a goood sign if they don't get at least 1 this period

 

[serp]

Thats was an even weaker call. Both players just clacked skates and Neal fell down

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Why does Razor always say stuff that doesnt happen? "Barks at him the way back up the ice" .. HIGHLY doubt that is the case.
