Pre-Game Talk: Christmas Duck

[94 Oil Drops]

Well Oilers we all saw what you did at the end of the game yesterday...

I don't like duck. It tastes greasy. Hopefully the Oilers don't either but they decide to hunt them just for fun tomorrow afternoon. I expect the Oilers to be very angry after last night's terrible disappointment and come out flying next game. That is, if they have any sense of pride.

They SHOULD stomp the Ducks tomorrow. But crazier things have happened. Let's all have a chat shall we?

If they lose this game i will be upset

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Please do not lose to this idiot of a coach.

That is all.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I would sit Nurse for this game. Let him get rest and reset. I would also play Draisaitl at center

Dress this line up.

Holloway - McDavid - Hamblin/Puljujarvi
Kostin - Draisaitl - Hyman
Janmark - Nuge - Yamo
Hamblin/Puljujarvi - Malone - Ryan

Kulak - Bouchard
Broberg - Ceci
Murray - Barrie

Skinner
Campbell

Unless Foegele or McLeod are ready, then slot one of them in for Malone and move things around.

I didn’t watch yesterday’s game (listened on radio while driving back to the homeland), but watched bits and pieces this morning. For the love of God, please do not dress Shore tonight. They are better off playing a man short.

 

[NedPlimpton]

hope they use this as a game to take out some frustrations and have a dominant win.

THAT SAID, who the f*** knows what is going to happen anymore.

Funny thou, either you play 1st line, or you are grounded to the 4th line...
I would play Kostin ahead of Hamblin.

There's only one team in the league I really loathe and it's the Ducks. Them being coached by Dallas Eakins makes it even more revolting, I want the Oilers to take it all out on them!

Notable that Malone and not Hamblin was sent down.

What do you call two Mallards? A paradox.

Last time we played Anaheim Drai injured himself chasing a hit and missing and crashing into the boards. He was trying to crush zegras like a bug. I'm sure it was an oh f*** moment from Drai realizing he'd injured himself instead of stapling Zegras. But that he was trying to potentially indicated he was perturbed at something.

Hope the results of this game are better. .

Lord sweet jesus Malone and Hamblin are gone. Whats Benson doing? Haven't heard a peep about him lately. lol that Klim is doing the job now and everybody loving him.

In what universe is Hamblin a topsix NHL forward? He's back in the AHL. Appropriately. I think the only spot I liked hamblin in was the pk once in awhile. Any other memories are him fumbling the puck and doing generally nothing.

You put McDavid who doesn't play D with two rooks. What could possibly go wrong with that config?

Duck done right is f***ing delicious

Malone actually hasn't been sent down. I suspect he will after McLeod is back, though.

Shore has a lifetime position in the bottom 6, meanwhile.

Too bad they blackened out the bottom and cropped it. Those were forlorn players wondering why the f*** they were here and who is this idiot behind us. Their expressions gave that distinct impression and completed the picture.

In the perfect rhyme of the universe the coach that quacked like a duck, and looked like a duck except when he had water on his feathers ended up being the roasted duck.

nice that Ducks have their specialist in tanking. Eakins always took notes you remember, he learned from some of the best in Tambellini and Lowe. So many stories..

 

[RattsSSV]

I always thought Bugs was an asshole.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Hopefully this is what the Ducks look like after McDavid is done with them.

The last time the Oilers blew a game (NJ) they went into a tailspin, let’s hope the loss last night doesn’t send them into another one.

Was also thinking the same thing. Particularly as that game was Game 1 of the second 10 game segment. They went 7-3 in the first segment and that game started a 3-7 10 game segment.

Last night was Game 1 of a new 10 game segment coming out of a 7-3 stretch.

Hamblin is still here unless I missed a roster move from late this aft?

I think Benson’s time as an Oiler call up is coming to an end.

Veally good!

If I was Benson I'd try to go to a bottom feeder team next season and try and earn some top 6 minutes.
