Seems like you're in luck!

Hmmmmmm maybe try this At some point. My spouse won’t go for it. Zero chance haha but maybe I’ll go with a friend.

 

[tardigrade81]

Depends on the part of the duck. If you see “Duck Confit” anywhere, generally at a French restaurant, give it a try. You won’t regret it.

I will definitely do so and report back. Apparently crave kitchen has it and it’s close by my house.

 

[Beerfish]

Lots of Ducks on the North Saskatchewan these days (mostly mallards). I drive down to Hawreluk park on most days and go for a nice hike on the trails there near the river.

 

[Paralyzer]

How is this Twitter guy still working?

Man, he's so dominant, no player could touch him. Had all the time in the world.

They have everything except duck! Some of those dishes look pretty darn tasty though. I looked up the menus. LOL!

Getzlaf is going to regret not signing here

Were not gonna regret NOT signing him tho....

 

[K1984]

Just watched the McDavid/Foegele postgame and hear a roar of "Lets Go Oilers" in the background. Foegele couldn't contain his giddiness.
It's freaking Game 2 of the season, that city is going to explode if they make a playoff run moreso than ever considering how antsy they must have been after the 1+ year lockdown. That was quite possibly the loudest Rogers Place has been since the Anaheim series, gonna be a fun year.

The crowd on Saturday was juiced.

Agree that this season is going to be a lot of fun if we can get off to a hot start here then keep it rolling. On that note, if we picked up Getzlaf at the deadline along with a solid depth LD we will be very, very dangerous.

 

[Paralyzer]

Odds on you being the lost fan in the “Lost Fan” thing on the jumbotron?

That'd be so good. Then turn to the camera and show Keith on the back and watch everyone cheer

 

[Zerotonine]

Smith with the start again tomorrow

remember when Tippett said they'll get both goaltenders up and running, so that was a lie

Was just gonna say the something myself, Smith might be playing his best hockey of his career this last year but someone should tell Tippett Smith is still 40, not to mention Koskinen has looked impressive his few starts as well

 

[Soundwave]

Tippett is a bullshit artist at this point. He says one thing and completely trashes it a week later. People were laughing when I said he'd have McDavid Draisaitl back together by game 2 of the regular season, it didn't even take that long, lol.

There's no long term planning with Tippett, he just milks whatever is hot.

 

[yukoner88]

Lol we aren’t that brave.

Ive had it lots. It tastes like a regular egg and it's an awesome source of energy.

 

[bone]

No worries for Kucherov. He will be back just in time for the playoffs and you will have another opportunity to draft him in the playoff pool.

Doctors have confirmed recovery time should be 193 days, give or take a couple hours.

 

[Mr Sakich]

He's in his last season as an NHL head coach. Grant being waived the day after he led the Ducks' forwards in icetime pretty much guarantees he and the GM are on completely different wavelengths.

I think it is because Eakins teases him for being chubby. A guy can only take it for so long before he gets fed up

 

[Oilhawks]

That'd be so good. Then turn to the camera and show Keith on the back and watch everyone cheer

That’s the plan if it happens. Luckily this time I’m hiding in the upper bowl so they likely won’t even bother. Maybe some will boo me though, if some of the posters here are any indication

So, would you prefer starting Koskinen against the Flames? Or would you have started him Tuesday and Thursday this week?
Or perhaps go with Tuesday/Friday instead. I'm not sure what other configuration there is aside from those three and the one Tippett's rolling with.

I'm going to continue to be happy we have a coach who plays his clear starter in the season opener against a divisional opponent, the HNIC game against a divisional opponent two days later, the road game against a divisional opponent two days after that, and against the team that's most likely to be our competition for a division title three days after that. You leave the game against the out-of-division team for your backup.

Obviously, once our schedule tightens up you'll probably need to make the splits more like 5:2/5:3 as opposed to the current look of 3:1

 

[xoczar99ox]

Can you get those with interchangeable heads? Asking for a friend…

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

I feel like this will give the 4th line a boost. McLeod is just such a nothing player.

I think that he can be a valuable player if he improves his shot and improves FO numbers (to impressive numbers consistently).

I was really hoping to see Sceviour; his preseason play was better than Turris', imo

Sceviour did play in game 1

I’m in the nosebleeds as well on Tuesday. Let me know where you’re sitting and I’ll come over and boo you.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

Sceviour did play in game 1

I know; I think he deserves the lock at 4RW

 

[xoczar99ox]

I like it! That’s our job on HF Oilers. Everyone has to do there part in our championship run!

 

[MessierII]

I know; I think he deserves the lock at 4RW

Ehhh I liked Turris better. Sceviour just brings nothing offensively. The trio of Perlini, Shore, Turris brought some really nice offensive chemistry all pre season and I want to see that in a real game.

Let’s hope they get some decent ice time tomorrow. I’d like to see if they can pitch in offensively as well

Koskinen will have a better season IMO

The top "5 man unit" has been getting heavily dominated in scoring chance and shot metric differential, I really wish Tippett would change it.

McDrai suck ass defensively when together, combined with Nurse/Barrie who are very offensively minded there's been just way too much high danger leaking against that unit.
