Yay, early game for me to get a final sip of watching live hockey before the playoffs.
I thought Murray was done for the season, good to see him on the ice again, even though it's practice only.

Sweet move to give Demers his 700th game, will always remember him for his nice old school hips..



Go Oilers!

At this rate half the team will have Dad strength heading into the playoffs.

Murray?

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Murray?

With all due respect to Murray, I think he's past his best-before date. REALLY hope we don't see him on the ice again.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Stfu Spec. So tired of his annoying ass questions.

 

[La Bamba]

Man, who would've thought Vincent Desharnais would be on the top pair this time last year And would be our best pick from the 2016 draft

I was just surprised to see he was still with the team. He’s been gone so long I just assumed he was gone.

Aside from Jersey this graphic isnt a surprise.
Bruins and Avs are the best of the bunch. Kings dont give up much and create very little
A best of 7 with that team is a slog fest indeed.

 

[Jet Walters]

It’s a positive to get a good look at a Nurse/Desharnais pairing before the playoffs. We might see a fair bit of that this Spring if Vinny can handle the minutes.

Looks like we won't be able to catch Vegas

 

[Victor000]

Good for Demers. Nice to see there is still a human element in these sorts of decisions.

 

[Senor Catface]

There's an outside chance we play Seattle in the first round.

I think Seattle going 3-1 and LA going 1-2 would do it, wouldn't it?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Honestly, I hope they put the boots to them. Lots and Lots of McPoints.

At this rate half the team will have Dad strength heading into the playoffs.

Great way to celebrate these new kiddos is great pictures

Seattle is 4 points back with a game in hand. They play Vegas back to back to close out the season.

If (big IF) Seattle runs the table...not only is it possible they get 3rd place that also makes it possible for the Oilers to get first place if they run the table.

What an absolutely crazy finish that would be if it happened.

Im calling it right now.

 

[FlameChampion]

Going to be a wild game I think. SJ will be cheating to try and get Karlsson 100 points.

Classy move by Ceci's Sissy to give Demers a chance)))

Murray is also practicing is a good news, I guess.

 

[yukoner88]

Murray?

Honestly forgot he existed

 

[DipsyMcDoodles]

As others have said, classy move to get Demers in, especially against the team and in the city he started his career in no less. Wouldn't be surprised if Woody was the one that pushed for this

Holloway with 2 goals already in the AHL. Up to 8 goals in 9 games played.

Feels good to have him and Lavoie in the AHL if any playoff injuries occur up front.

Edit: looks like I was wrong and it’s 6 goals in 8 games. I was using his hockey db page as a basis plus his two goals tonight to come to 8g in 9 games.

 

[ZJuice]

EA bumped Desharnais from 75 overall to 77 overall in the past week
Now he’s a 1st liner so I expect another bump

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I just wanna see McDavid hit 66 goals and 156 points.

 

[tardigrade81]

Don’t think I need A and W for this one boys, but I might anyway.

 

[Coffey]

Connor gonna disappoint and have another single secondary assist and we might win 2-1.

Yawn.
