Lmao. I can't drink for a bit after last night. Maybe I'll just take this game off lol.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

No curses for tomorrow btw for those who are wondering. I think our team has been cursed by some evil black magic out of hell aka Calgary. I have already sacrificed a chicken on the roof of Rogers Place. I will have to dip into the Book of Souls and find something powerful to remove this curse that ails the Oilers and has deeply infected their PK, coaching decisions, game management, first unit PP, and team psyche.

 

[McDNicks17]

McLellan is trying to break the few of us who remain.

Send help.

 

[ZJuice]

Auvitu is forward? Nice

 

[belair]

I missed the Jets game. Why have they blown up the Khaira-Draisaitl-Strome line? And what is that abomination of a fourth line?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Anyone else wanna take a month vacation?

 

[Kagomeboy]

Anyone else wanna take a month vacation?

Go ahead ,take one.

 

[BlackDogg]

Is Tmac and Woodcrap in?
Uggh

 

[McDrai]

No thanks.

 

[BlackDogg]

Oilers new years resolution is to kill a penalty this year.

 

[McDNicks17]

I just don't know where to start with that lineup.

I can't even get past the second line without my brain turning to mush.

Draisaitl is finding success working the boards on the cycle. Let's put him with the two smallest players on the team that haven't won a single board battle in their careers.

Haha. What the heck is this? This looks like a coach desperate to keep his job.

Good call on blackout drunk night.

I’d seriously like to see the Home PK reach 50% so TMac can ask the other coach if we could just flip a coin and save the players the wear and tear.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Blackout drunk night? Haha, that's the spirit!
For some odd reason i'm not really keen on staying up all night to watch this, I might adapt back to common sleep habits 'til the draft in summer.
The lineup for this game looks like an experiment, let's see how this goes..

Go Oilers!

It's Todd. What do you expect?

 

[McDNicks17]

I'm just waiting for the tweet about a Nurse healthy scratch and Benning moving to the top pairing at this point.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Not going to waste any more time watching this gongshow until McLellan and his unqualified buddies are axed.

Will check the boxscore afterwards and hope to see McDavid with points on any Oilers goals though. Would be nice if he could reel in Kucherov.

 

[Da McBomb]

I do like that first line. I think it can do some damage. Definitely not liking those bottom lines though.

 

[slim2001]

What I would like to see for the this game:

Khaira-McDavid-Puljujarvi - on the rush offense, two big speedy wingers to drive the net
Lucic-Draisaitl-Slepyshev - cycle line
Maroon-RNH-Strome
Caggiula-Letestu-Kassian

Nurse-Larsson - shutdown pairing
Sekera-Klefbom - offensive zone pairing
Russell-Benning - above average 3rd paring

1-3-1 PP: (70-90 sec)
Draisaitl
Puljujarvi-RNH-McDavid
Klefbom

Spread PP: (30-50 sec)
Lucic-Maroon
Strome
Benning-Sekera

 

[t0nedeff]

Should have thrown Maroon up with Mcdavid/JP earlier as that seems to be the only spot he is worth any value to the team. I'll save judgement on Camm with Drai considering having him on any other line is pointless beyond debate. The issue I have is Lucic-Nuge-Slep were building a bunch of chemistry before Sleps injuries and instead of injecting him onto that line last game or even this game MacT I mean Tmac has him on the 4th line with Auvitu who has looked a thousand times better on defense than Benning has ever looked.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Did Slepy take a big steaming dump in the dressing room or Coaches office or something?

EVERY player on this club get chances at primo minutes this season except him. He gets a couple shifts with Drai last game and he's right bag in the bottom dog house. Meanwhile Cagg and Camm slotted with Draisaitl who must be well loved too...

need to win another 4 in a row

They are so worried about keeping his waiver eligibility, when they should be more worried about putting the best team on the ice.
