Go Oil

I think I have seniors ADHD. I checked out about half way through the poll answers. What was the question again?

That's a normal response to a @Cloned poll though

 

[McDanglez]

This is a winnable game I think. I know NJ is on a heater right now, but I think it's about time the real devils stand up.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

i mean if you're not on drugs.....are you really?

 

[K1984]

The second period the last time we played the Devils was the last time we played a dominant period top to bottom. So who knows in this one.

 

[SaltNPeca]

I hope this is one of those streak-breaking games where random stuff just goes wrong for the Devils at home...

Some guys scores his 1st NHL Goal (Dylan Holloway), a few lucky/unlucky bounces, etc.

I have no shame, LFG

 

[Dynamic]

When was the last time anybody was excited to play the Devils? I know I sure am excited to watch tonight. I think Mcdaddy shows up tonight.

 

[Rengorlex]

In Skinner we trust.

 

[WaitingForUser]

I miss the most influencal choice. Crappy prospect and player developement.
Yes, Oilers draft the wrong players pretty damn often; Yakupov, pääjärvi, puljujärvi at 4(no hate on Jesse, but he aint a 4th overall, even at draftday.), yamamoto. Instead of Dobson etc.

But more crucial is the developement. No wonder Marino wanted out. He saw what would be coming for him here. Good for him.
Oilers having a REAL HARD TIME to make prospects contributing NHL players. They are always halfways. To slow, to soft, to weak, to stupid, to damn bad, to average. And everyone sucks at defence.
In short; this organisation cant educate proper defence. Is it a culture thing , Sure - I bet, but there had to be more that linger.

Almost every coach here has expressed a concern about bad habits. Eakins may gone to fqr, but I think he pointed his finger at the right spot.
Something is wrong culturewise. To many players exchanged to fast? Almost oilers whole lineup had changed every 3 years. Hard to get something consistent then.

But foremost. Almost every player sucks at NHL defence.

Yamamoto was not the same draft as Dobson we took Bouchard instead of Dobson. Yams was taken 22 overall in 2017. There were not many options left on the board for that one. Yakupov fooled 28/30 GMs as only two said they would have taken anyone over yak at number 1. Murray the second choice didn’t do much either. The best choice from that draft was either Reilly or Forsberg both were not listed as top 3 by anyone. PRV was taken right where he was expected and only Ryan Ellis was a better choice in that spot. Puju over Tkachuck or Sergachev was a mistake for sure but again no one was calling Puju to drop to 4 at all. Hindsight is 20/20 my friend.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Should be a good game

 

[The Safe Play]

Slow starts and getting heavily outshot are the two big ones this year. NJ Devils are so filthy good it annoys me, I hope we come out to play.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

It’s about time Catholics banded together and pressured the Devils to change their offensive and blasphemous name.

 

[Leonardlizard]

Not complaining but wonder what is up with Yamamoto? Not on this trip..

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

In Skinner we trust.

They need to just move Holloway back to Bako for 8-10 weeks and play Shore on LW instead.

My guess using my PhD in Internet Degree of Medicine is concussion symptoms and he's not passing the baseline testing.

 

[Oilers in NS]

That’s a lot of sins to confess @Cloned I need multiple check marks but not starting on time checks a lot of the other boxes by default. Good pole.

The Devils certainly look like have a good team this year and their fans apologized to their coach.

But all good streaks must come to an end and it’s time for the Oilers to bust these streakers.

Hi to all the Devils fans reading our GDT. Hope all is forgiven from my big mouth from our last game against you. Devils sure shoved it up my ass in that one lol.

If we start on time we win this one, I’ll say 5-3.

Let’s hope we can sing this Tuesday

Benson when he's ready.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

The games against Jersey are usually fast paced and exciting. Hopefully we can break their winning streak tonight.

Dobson wasn't the yammo year.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Sesame street taught me that the pin ball song stops at 12.... and so will the Devils winning streak.

 

[FlameChampion]

Should be an interesting one.

You never know which Edmonton will show up. I wasnt surprised that we beat Vegas.

Team shows up when you least expect it.

That being said, I think they are going to struggle against NJ tonight. I hope I am wrong.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

The version of Nurse that played against Vegas start to finish is the one we need on a consistent basis going forward.

Hula hoop exercise, that’s how I keep my trim shape!

Ok. But you get the point.

 

[Canovin]

In Skinner we trust.

Holloway on the 4th line is a waste. Send him down and call up Benson
