Pre-Game Talk: Edmonton v Columbus Tuesday 5PM Mtn

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Jackets are a much improved team. 4 fast lines that can all score, a very solid D and one of the best goalies in the league.

Their pp sucks tho, worst in the league going against the worst pk in the league.

The resistable force meets the moveabal object.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

PLD playing? I need to know if I can pencil him in for his first career hat trick or not.

Centering their top line.

He is. On the top line too. 9 points in his last 10 games.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Hope Larsson is back soon.

The day he was hurt Stauffer was speculating his back was the issue on his radio program. That spells serious trouble.

If we get Sekera back only to find out Larsson is out long term....

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Gotta love JPs facial expressions. This kid is gold.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

If we get Sekera back only to find out Larsson is out long term....

Honestly at this point I'd shut him and Sekera down for the season. And yes I know Sekera hasn't played yet but why risk injury.

Because you can't just shut down a player if they are medically good to play?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

At least it might give our anemic PP a jolt. The way Nurse has stepped up it might be able to camoflauge it easier than the Sekera loss. But yeah, not good either way.

Because healthy players should play?

If this is your attitude we might as well scratch everyone and send out the Condors lineup.

Makes no sense. Sekera is taking part in 100% practice and is two weeks out roughly.

If Larssons back is whacked, that might be a problem. No point going full shut down mode unless reaggravating it requires surgery.

The difference between actually healthy and "Oilers healthy" has been a very blurry line for quite some time. Don't need to rush either one. If they have nagging injuries then let them heal.

Sekera does not have a nagging injury.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Sekera does not have a nagging injury.

You've never heard of "Oileritis"?

Ahh the good old tin foil hat theories are back.

Player comes back when they were predicted to "OILERS ARE RUSHING THEM".

Player comes back late "CLEARLY SOMETHING WORSE IS WRONG, THEY ARE RUSHING THEM BACK!!"

So basically your position is 'The Oilers medical staff say Sekera is healthy, but he actually isn't and I base that on absolutely nothing.'

You'll have to forgive me for disregarding that position.

id like to see lucic take someone apart.

Well I mean we keep playing Gryba for some reason. I was under the impression that we are tanking this season.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Maybe we'll score a goal, who knows.

Whoa, whoa there. Let's not get too excited.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Oh swell, Brossoit is starting tonight. Why not give Ellis a chance?

 

[Lacaar]

An opportunity tonight for our pk to reach an all new low.

Man this team is like a box of chocolates.

Will they come out and play hard?
Will they play that dopey disinterested game the eastern teams suck them into?
Will the goaltending have one of its patended bed crapping games with a .800 save percentage?
Will they take control of the game and deserve a solid win only to crap it down the toilet with 5-10 mins left in the third?
Will they decide like so many other nights that the first 10 minutes of the game doesn't count. Take a Pejorative Slured penalty in the first couple of minutes.

Play like they did on the weekend and they're in good shape. They've lost the luxury of putting up stinkers. There's no excuses to not be playing their asses off.

 

[GMofOilers]

13 of our next 14 games before our little break is against the West. This next month will tell us if playoffs are possible.

WTF? Not sure if this is a serious post or not?

Yes, the season is lost, so let's shut down McDavid too because he has been weakend by the flu bug, and there's no sense risking the rest of his career.

Aren't we tanking? I honestly cannot tell some games.

I am as negative as a lot of us here but making shit up and stuff like this is just ridiculous.
