GDT: Game 44 - Oilers @ Coyotes - 7PM - FSAZ+

[Name Nameless]

Winning out for the rest of the season starts tonight!!

Stanley Cup final 2018: Sabres - Coyotes. You read it here first ;-)

Per Tocchet via Craig Morgan....

The Hammer is back.

Rannta in goal.

Playoff run starts now. We're drafting 5th.

 

[MIGs Dog]

The Oilers suck.

Remember when we thought if we could just win the #1 pick it would set our franchise on a path to greatness?

If the Oilers lose to the Coyotes tonight and Vegas tomorrow night, 5 straight losses, does Tmac get fired? They have a 5 day break after Vegas, would be a good time to change coaches if they have any hope for the playoffs this year? I hope we win 6-2 tonight and Vegas kills them tomorrow night too.

 

[Mosby]

I'd love for Arizona to be the beneficiary of a desperation trade by Edmonton.

Given the Oilers naturally will get Dahlin, they are not getting into the playoffs. Mutually exclusive.

I'd rather have them in the playoffs than in the lottery.

Neither Dallas, Chicago or Nashville- their three last opponents- are easy teams. Don't want to be a killjoy, but playing a team coming in with a three game losing streak doesn't seem so much fun when you factor in which team they have just met.

Morgan had listed Hammer with Connauton on the third pair out on Twitter a while ago but corrected himself a bit later hearing he’s going to be paired with Chychrun.

So right now it’s

OEL - Goose
Chychrun - Hammer
KConn - Demers

Schenn’s the odd man out.

On that line up I would prefer to keep OEL-Demers going because I've personally liked how that's been going. The question then becomes where to slot chych/hammer/goligoski. I would like to see how Chych and Hammer looks, because I would love to see Chych get some back up from Hammer and let him roam more. Which would leave Goligoski with Schenn or KConn. I'd prefer Schenn over KConn too, I think.

With a healthy defensive core, it actually allows the team to spread the minutes a smidge more instead of having one pairing kind of get destroyed (I hope). So I am actually kind of excited to see how a totally healthy team rolls. *Except someone will get injured tonight or some bs.

McDavid with the behind the neck - never seen before - double goals that will be shown on Sportscenter for ever.

Raanta beached on his back asking coastguards for helicopter help.

Lucic sending Hammer into another world of concussions.

Panik with the second assist on the 1-5 goal, Tocchet with a "Very sticky work from Panik" postgame comment

Is my prediction.

But come on Yotes, let's win this.

Was at the game Ovi did THE goal. When it happened, I was like "Wtf just happened? Did he score?". The true beauty of that goal was so magnificent, I had to see the replay to understand it. At least that was the view from my seats in that game.

Back on topic though, yea that game prediction WOULD be the Yote's season in a nutshell lol.

The Ovi goal was exactly what I had in mind without realising it. Santé and thank you NC !

Since KConn isn't scratched, Lucic is probably going to try and kill him first. He really hates him for some reason

i was there too. the whole building was standing and looking at the jumbtron, crazy buzz in the air. Was actually somehting really cool that i'll never forget. Even though it was against us, a building full of true hockey fans appreciating the beauty of the sport.

f*** the Anti-Arizona group.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

I was there and in the lower bowl, but screened, and the only indication that goal even went in was Gainey (in the only thing I remember him doing here) throwing his arms up in the air in a "WTF!" manner, and the other side of the arena going "ooooohhh..."...then the replay on the jumbotron...

 

[Muppet]

Save us Hammer, block all the shots. Don't use your head, though.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

I was there too, happened to be in a suite on the NW end just N of center ice and was apparently fortunate, as I saw it all perfectly - was BEAUTIFUL.

 

[TheLegend]

I was also there for THAT goal. Was sitting in the lower level on that side between the circle and blue line. Everyone was like “wtf just happened??”

 

[The Feckless Puck]

I was there too with my kids. One of the greatest single sports plays I've ever seen live.

Lucic and Murphy >>> Lucic and KConn

Please protect Hammer’s brain.

Bubble wrap that Swedish man.

Ah yes, Paul Mara. We didn’t get enough for Khabibulin...(I know, MJ too!)

Franchise asset management always superb

Ah yes Paul Mara and the blonde girl for BAP Import Parts...

UPDATE: Which I see has been acquired by something called 'Parts Authority'

I thought that was Stan Necktar (so?)

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

I think it’s pretty awesome how many of us were at that game to see that.
