Pre-Game Talk: Desert Doggie Doo

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Imagine Nick Zero Points Schmaltz as your comparable against Connor McDavid when you are the Arizona Death-ert Dogs.

Zero excuse not to beat the Dogs tomorrow night. A team that might be one of the worst ever put on ice.

[yukoner88]

Anything less than a field day will be disappointing from and offensive perspective in this game.

Please play our game and not down to their level.

Honestly, here's what I would do.

Draisaitl - McDavid - Puljujarvi
Hyman - Nuge - Perlini
Foegele - Ryan - Kassian
Benson - Shore - Sceviour

Nurse - Bouchard
Keith - Ceci
4K - Russell

Koskinen

Give Yamo and Barrie a night off, have them fresh for Vegas.

 

[OilerTyler]

Arizona gave up 8 to Columbus and 7 to St Louis.

Hopefully this ends up being a fun one.

wow, is MacLeod and Turris that bad?
But agreed that Scevioir should slide in.
Is he bot playing because of late contract?

 

[Old Boys Club]

Hopefully this ends up being a fun one.

So, by hockey logic, they will shut us out or it will be a 2-1 game

McLeod is in Bakersfield and Turris could use a rest for game.

 

[GingerJesus28]

This should be a 6/7-1 slaughter

So we'll either lose or win 3-2 lol

sam gagner has about 36 hours to hold on to his single game pts record because thats about to get wrecked yesterday

 

[CornKicker]

also they dont have any former oilers on their team so its a 10-0 beating

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

This is a good opportunity to view future Oilers forward Lawson Crouse

 

[yukoner88]

Has there been any update on Smith?

 

[yukoner88]

Plus no rookie 3rd stringer waiting in the wings to make their NHL debut in net against us right?

That's been this team's true kryptonite for decades

you are right i should check and see if anyone has never scored a goal before

 

[Nunymare]

[Fixed to Ruin]

That guy looks like every beer league player over 30.

Give Yamo and Barrie a night off, have them fresh for Vegas.

I'm with you, up until giving Barrie the night off. Bust him down to the 3rd pair for a few games before giving him the scratch. He took awhile to get going last year as well. I don't like it, but I question if a full on scratch is the best solution. Giving Yamamoto and Turris the night off is fine with me, even though Turris has been better than I thought he might be.

 

[ManofSteel55]

This is a good opportunity to view future Oilers forward Lawson Crouse

Are we swapping Yamamoto for him? What's the rumour mill churning up about Crouse?

 

[ManofSteel55]

McLeod didn't look ready.

Turris has been "meh". Some shifts fine, some shifts invisible. Sceviour is our #5 RW. If someone earns a night in the pressbox, he will draw in until he moves up the depth chart.

I'd go Benson-McLeod-Yamamoto (I know McLeod is in Bako) on the 4th line and see if they can capitalize offensively with easy minutes.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Arizona gave up 8 to Columbus and 7 to St Louis.

Hopefully this ends up being a fun one.

So we're going to lose 4-2 based off of our history of pooping the bed against struggling teams. This game actually has me nervous - it will be a good barometer to see if this squad is going to take their feet off the gas.
