I'm expecting a Ryan Smyth Hat Trick from Smytty tonight.

A goal banked in off him, a howitzer from the half boards and a hooking penalty.

"Getting away from the atmosphere in Edmonton I think is really good for us just to kinda find our way"

Don't put it in quotes if it isn't an actual quote.

It doesn't sound bad in the video. He's only saying that it'll be nice to be on the road for a bit because it will give them a chance to find their game without worrying about all of the negativity going on around them.

He's gonna have to be careful even if it's a fairly innocent quote(heard much the same from many Oiler players over the years).

Fans are angry and lashing out, and the last thing the team needs is fans running it's best player out of town.

Panther fan here,

Hoping for an exciting game from both sides, this game may set a record for most 1st round picks playing in one game. I heard the other night we had 11...........yes 11 1st rounders suited up for us.

I'm curious how many Oilers are 1st rounders playing tonight?

Good game and here's to no injuries! I feel your pain looking at your injury list, we know all too well about the injury bug.

The first rounders playing for the Oilers tonight are:

Dubnyk
Eager
Eberle
Gagner
Gordon
Hemsky
Nugent-Hopkins
Smid
Smyth
Yakupov

so 10 first rounders. Hall and Perron are both injured.

Don't worry, they've done it plenty before.

10 by my count!

We could have three more if we didn't have injuries/crappiness. (Perron, Hall, Grebeshkov)

The atmosphere where their play is actually being held accountable by fans? Okay then...

So collectively we will have possibly 20-22 1st rounders playing tonight. That's got to be a record of some sort.

I'm curious what game they are going to find that they couldn't find on the last road trip?

I found this story on hockeybuzz:

"I just wanna see an honest effort and some emotion in the games. It was funny last Detroit game. Some fans through there hats and jersey on the ice after the game"

Any truth to this?

If it's true, that would be a wicked video. Would have to scare the hell out of some of the big wigs for tons of people to be able to see that after a game like that one.

I had dreams of taking the day off work and driving down to Sunrise to catch the game, but the way the Oilers have been playing.... I've decided to match their intensity and sit on my ass. I'm content on being a 3rd tier fan and watch on GCL.

I created a chart to show a yearly analysis of GDT quality Vs. Oiler performance, to prove that HFOil is indeed better than the Oilers themselves.

So according to this, we should just not even be on HFboards at all and the oilers will give 100% effort. Sounds good.
