GDT: #66 - Oilers vs. Sabres at 7 PM ET on MSG-B and WGR

[Aladyyn]

Phil has really outdone himself with this lineup

 

[sufferer]

That middle six.. just lmao.

 

[dortt]

Phail would have been the PERFECT coach during the tank years. We would not have had to stress out over if we would somehow steal points.

Nolan would do MUCH better now. He'd at least have the team playing HARD and motivated. Plus, his lineup decisions would be orders of magnitude better than Phail's

 

[ZZamboni]

No, you never go full Nolan... ever.

[GrierIsGod123]

LOL!

 

[oldgoalie]

yawn.
like Phil Collins once sang, "I don't care anymore".

 

[Samsonite23]

Bought tickets to this one to see McDavid-Draisaitl. At this point I wish Edmonton was playing a different NHL in Buffalo. This lineup is hilarious.

 

[Hasekperreault23]

Why the hell can't Nelson get into a game? Hunwick needs to join the queue to be fired into the sun.

Nelson is the new Beulieau

Damn our stealth tank is pretty sweet, so if we lose edm is just 1 pt behind and a few teams can jump us. Panthers, Rags etc and our lottery odds increase 10% if 2 teams pass us.

Botterill's trying to stunt on Murray's legacy of two 2nd overall picks with two 1st overall picks.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Nice try phil

 

[Tatre]

This has to be on purpose. As always, make it exciting for the home audience.

I wasn't paying close attention last game; how did McCabe get hurt?

 

[toomuchsauce]

They're putting out a garbage lineup and it looks like they're tanking, so, I'm assuming they'll win tonight, because this is all some kind of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead-level absurdist tragi-comedy.

Watch us get Kakko or Hughes and fire Housley for a competent coach. Head is secretly a genius disguising himself as a simpleton this whole time.

 

[dotcommunism]

or they could play Nelson, who is much better than Hunwick

I don't think Hunwick is any good, but I'm not sure this is true.

 

[sabremike]

Phil has really outdone himself with this lineup

 

[HaNotsri]

I think we are tanking harder than 2014. This is really going full Housley. Sorry, Phil Housley.

 

[Icicle]

Sobotka is finally out of the lineup, giving Housley the accidental chance to make good lines

And he manages to come up with the worst possible mixture. Geesh

 

[Buffaloed]

The Sabres signed a phenom from Iowa State. He hasn't played in almost 40 years but he's still in fantastic shape. It's a shame Botterill couldn't get the deal done before the trade deadline so he'd be eligible for the playoffs. He'll be in for Sobotka tonight.

 

[Weaves]

Its gud 2 b a stealth tankster

 

[slip]

Phil is addicted to the Skinner - Eichel - Reinhart line

They were phenomenal during the streak.

Phil's been chasing the dragon ever since.

 

[jc17]

Can't wait for this game to cement Sobotka's spot in the lineup for next year.

Forget the fact that the lines were assembled more poorly than an IKEA project led by kindergartners. The reason we will lose tonight is because the team will lack the irreplaceable, dependable, role player that is Vlad Sobotka
