Edmonton Oilers (18-10-4) vs Carolina (18-11-1)


Playing a bunch of jerks tonight. Sounds like they are separating Drai and McDavid at least to start. 3 5v5 goals in 4 games, 10 against. Something needs to change.

Sens beat bruins pretty good! So oilers will win this!!! I believe!!

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Should be a tough game, the Canes are pretty good.

 

[TKB21]

Oil lose 4-1.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This has been a very uninspired home stand. They could really use a big victory against a very good team.

 

[BlackDogg]

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I agree with him, but did he have a stroke or something, because he's been weird about the Oilers for the last few weeks

I'm going to this game. Other teams are really catching up. I don't expect us to hold first by the end of 2019 but we can only wish for a winning streak.

 

[BertMcDrai]

I can see us winning this one...don´t ask me how but it will happen

 

[McDrai]

Well I can’t argue with our win-loss pattern...
We will win in OT

 

[elmeroil]

This feels like a blowout win for the Oilers, the big guns took the night off last game so they should be ready. Plus it's against a team with a good record, not a non playoff team. Good thing they don't play the bad teams in the playoffs!

 

[KlefDown]

need a win today big time

 

[snipes]

Just win baby.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Need this one.
5 out of 8 points on a 4 game home stand is barely acceptable at least.
Way too many points left on the table in the last month.

 

[LMFAO]

What are the lines? Saw they were trying

Nygard - McDavid - Kassian

Intrigued to see that line play

I’ve wanted Nygard to get a look with McDavid. I’m intrigued as well, Nygard looked great last game.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Keep the Aho line in check and the rest of the team isn't very impressive. If our secondary players can play above average tonight we should win. I hope Nuge can score one tonight.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Must win game, y’all.

we’ve usually put good performances together vs good teams so hopefully we can get it up today.

 

[KlefDown]

I'm a big fan of Jones
I would like to see a pairing of

Klefbom - Larsson
Jones - Bear

but that would throw Nurse and Russell off. maybe move Russell back to RHD

 

[Little Fury]

Nugesaitl finding some chemistry would be huge. Hope it lasts more thana couple of shifts.

 

[McDrai]

Must win game, y’all.

Yeah it will be no fun if we can’t get it up today. Hopefully it happens

They have small game performance anxiety. This one should not be an issue...

 

[Cypress]

Expecting a pitiful defeat, perhaps 4-1. Hope to be wrong. Intrigued by these new lines though.

 

[McDrai]

Yeah I think they will have a big PP in this one
