Pre-Game Talk: Edm v StL Thursday 7 PM

[ThePhoenixx]

Tough game. If they come out strong they will have a good chance at a victory.

 

[Porkleaker]

Would be a huge win if they can pull it off, but they're going to need everyone contributing like last game plus McDavid.

 

[MoneyGuy]

I was at the last game versus St. Louis and we lost. I'm not going tonight, so 3-2 Oilers.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Will we have an answer for the Schenn line? They've owned us this season.

 

[oXo Cube]

Just win the damn game.

I don't care how.

 

[Pointteen]

Please temper expectations of Sekera.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Will we have an answer for the Schenn line? They've owned us this season.

Jaden Schwartz is on LTIR so that line has been broken up. That said Schenn is still on a tear. If we play like we’ve played and can get a special teams win we should win the game provided Talbot plays decent and Allen doesn’t put in an all world performance. Plus I have cursed them so there’s that.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Another must win game... Hopefully they don't keep the game interesting.

 

[Ninety7]

Going to tonight’s game. Don’t f*** me oilers

 

[oobga]

Just realized, we have 1 more healthy Schwartz (Dustin) than the Blues. The Schwartz is strong with the Oilers.

 

[H2OFroster]

I only wish that Oilers win and Puljujärvi scores

 

[shoop]

Like I said earlier in the thread the Blues really seem to have fallen down and also a lot of teams up in the standings are playing pretty casually going into the holidays. Like they took a week off. NHL results in the last week or so being completely random.

Yet only 7pts separates first place in the WC, from being 9th place. With teams like San Jose and Dallas having games in hand.

Not much separation in the west.

Indeed. The top five teams in the West look good for the playoffs. The Coyotes are only team out of the chase for those final three playoff spots.

Hey, that's the average length of the typical HF poster's stick.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

2pts and a solid Sekera return, that's all i'm asking for. Go Oilers!

 

[McDaddy]

Sekera hasn't been activated yet.. why is that.

 

[nhlisajoke]

Sekera hasn't been activated yet.. why is that.

he just was

 

[McDaddy]

he just was

Literally just saw that too. LOL

 

[mcdraividmoto]

Jeff Marek was just on NHL radio and he told Scott and Patrick that he heard from a source in the Oilers that there's been a running problem over the past few years where Sekera refuses to pass the puck to McDavid and he believes they have an issue with each other or something stupid.

This is the first time I'm hearing of this but has anyone heard about this before?

 

[rboomercat90]

anyways, we will not win tonight...why?

my brother is going to the game and he's winless at Rogers place ...sorry guys, I tried to talk him out of it!

Can’t you just beat him up and take his tickets from him?

No, but this sounds silly given that last year he played 3on3 with Mcdavid and Drai and was generally also the D man on the first PP... didn't see any issues at all there.

This is a huge game for us. A win gives us a massive boost to our swagger and chances of getting into playoffs. A lose sets us back at least another 2 games in the chase. Playoff teams have a +4 W/L ratio right now. We still need to close that gap. Finishing before Christmas at .500 is a huge step in the right direction.

I did notice this and told everyone that would listen. I don’t know if there is a conflict or maybe Sekera is worried about getting too many points

 

[Connor McFries]

Don't know what to make of this game tonight. I managed to score free tix to the game last night in Calgary and honestly, St Louis just couldn't give a f***. It was an all round boring game. Hutton made some decent saves, but brain-sharted on the game winner. Tank was invisible, Schenn seemed to have some spark in spurts, but nothing consistent. Oilers need to play like they're capable of and this will be a relatively easy win.

But then again, St Louis is a top-5 team in the league. Gaah!

It came up last year, not sure if there’s anything to it though.

 

[joestevens29]

Tarasenko scares me. Talbot goes down too early and Tarasenko is a guy that can turn fully around and pick a corner. Need to contain him tonight or Talbot needs to play smarter.
