If we can get our offence going then all bets are off, likely they show more poise over the full 60 and gain the edge.

On a more hopeful note, the Jets look like garbage tonight through 20 minutes.

They'll be full of vengeance on Sunday.

GDT title should be "Yakety Yak Don't Come Back!"

Oh, oo-o-oh, come on, ooh, yeah
Well I tried to tell you so (yes, I did)
But I guess you didn't know, as I said the story goes
Baby, now I got the flow
'Cause I knew it from the start
Baby, when you broke my heart
That I had to come again, and show you that I'm real

All those times I said that I love you
(You lied to me) Yes, I tried, yes, I tried
(You lied to me) Even though you know I'd die for you
(You lied to me) Yes, I cried, yes, I cried

It is
(Return of the Yak) Come on
(Return of the Yak) Oh my God
(You know that I'll be back) Here I am
(Return of the Yak) Once again
(Return of the Yak) Pump up the world
(Return of the Yak) Watch my flow
(You know that I'll be back) Here I go

So I'm back up in the game
Running things to keep my swing
Letting all the people know
That I'm back to run the show
'Cause what you did, you know, was wrong
And all the nasty things you've done
So, baby, listen carefully
While I sing my come-back song

'Cause she said she'd never turn on me
(You lied to me) But you did, but you do
(You lied to me) All these pains you said I'd never feel
(You lied to me) But I do, but I do, do, do

Here it is
(Return of the Yak) Hold on
(Return of the Yak) Don't you know
(You know that I'll be back) Here I go
(Return of the Yak) Oh little girl
(Return of the Yak) Wants my pearl
(Return of the Yak) Up and down
(You know that I'll be back) Round and round

'Cause she said she'd never turn on me
(You lied to me) But you did, but you do
(You lied to me) All these pains you said I'd never feel
(You lied to me) But I do, but I do, do, do

It is
(Return of the Yak) Come on
(Return of the Yak) Oh my God
(You know that I'll be back) Here I am
(Return of the Yak) Once again
(Return of the Yak) Pump up the world
(Return of the Yak) Watch my flow
(You know that I'll be back) Here I go

Don't you know

Here it is
(Return of the Yak) Hold on
(Return of the Yak) Don't you know
(You know that I'll be back) Here I go
(Return of the Yak) Oh little girl
(Return of the Yak) Wants my pearl
(Return of the Yak) Up and down
(You know that I'll be back) Round and round.

Yakupov might be the best winger to complement McDavid.

Wonder what it will take to aquire him? A 3rd and a C-level prospect?

Lets be honest, nobody who scores at a 15 goal pace while playing with McDavid is the best winger to complement him. I think its the other way around. McDavid might be the best centre to complement Yak, because he does everything for him.

Don't know why people would be worried about Yakupov. Brodziak on the other hand...

At least there is no Backes to contend with anymore! That guy used to run our show every game, although they have Perron again now, so Talbot or whoever is in goal will have to watch out for his usual shenanigans.

We're already the laughing stock of the league, it would be nice if Yak didn't have a big game tomorrow night.

Just keep getting those wins, this team needs desperately to learn how to grind out defensive games and not just expect the goalie to bail them out.

This team is playing opposite to previous Oilers teams.

Last year they would have crapped the bed vs the Flames in the 1st 2 games of the season... bounced back to beat up the Sabres (giving us all false hope) and then lost a close one to the Canes.

This year they are sloppy but winning.... opposite what they've done in the past.

I say their record this year will be the opposite of last season:

43-31-8 for a total of 94 pts... should put them right in the playoff hunt.

I'm the biggest Nuge fan there is but man am I looking for something, anything to show me he gives a damn this season. So far he's been the weakest player on the puck in each game, falling a lot, caught out of position a bunch of times. I've been thinking he may be sulking and trying to force a change with his wingers, Kassian is tough to play with, slow decision making inside his own blueline and unpredictable. And Benoit is also tough to play with and seems to be chasing the play a lot and taking lots of penalties, talk about an unlucky draw for wingers. I love Kassian as a 4th liner but Nuge deserves much better if we expect him to produce. Hoping he starts to turn it around, but I'm not sure if it will happen until he has some better support.

If we win this I'll be over the moon. Let's get it boys.

Maybe the Blues will take the night off like EDM did against Buffalo and in the third against the Canes? Then again i'd rather them bring it to see if we can at least make a game of it and see where we are when everyone is on the same page and working hard. Let's hope all that size will start paying off.

Yakupov with a hattrick. Also he crushes Eberle with a clean hit and Eberle gets injured.

Oilers lose 6-1.

Can't see the Oilers beating the blues. St Louis is just too good, have a far better defense and judging by the performance of the Oilers, especially not even being ready to play when the first period starts, it could be a real embarrassing one here.

Yeap, Yak will score, so will Perron. 7-3 Blues

Nice to see Yakupov playing on the 1st line already, instead of a 4th line checker. Show them Yak, show them!

I couldn't see Vancover beating the Blues as well, but it happened.

That said, of course this will be by far the most difficult game of the season and everyone needs to be on top to get away with two points here. I have a feeling that the players will show up big time for this game, they know this will be the first real test and they will want to show everyone that they can play the game on this level. Who was it that called the team out after the Buffalo game saying (more or less) that 'the players were not ready because the game was not "exciting" like it was playing the first two games against CGY and that they had to get used to the idea of playing as well in high profile games as in low profile games". This is a high profile game and I think we will see a different team tonight than for the previous couple of games.

Can't believe you wasted that much time on such a useless player on the other team
