GDT: Game #57 - Blues@Oilers - 6:30 PM

[Drivesaitl]

I don’t think it’s that awful. Plus anthems and pre-game shenanigans it’s probably a 6:45-6:50 start. That’s fairly close to when you’d be getting in if it was a 7 pm start.

If it was 5 then yeah that’s downright silly.

City is pretty big now though. If one is driving in from say southside, Westend etc or working outlying areas getting off at 5 and being in arena as 6:30 would be tough. In these road conditions we have now basically commuting anywhere is +hr drivetime.

Edmonton had a big dump of snow on mostly Sunday and the city still hasn't been clearing many roads. ruts 10inches deep on even main roads.

Was just looking up the city road clearing app. The entire area of Millwoods and Meadows has ZERO plows operating right now. We're on a bus route and we had one slight grading since the snow storm. Was just a quick pass thru. Maybe a slight dusting of sand since, on a bus route.

630 is money. In bed close to 10.

I didn't go to bed that early when I was 10

The early bird just ends up doing more work. heh

He's chasing down Gretzky to chase down more Gretzky lol

23 straight is crazy for a D-man

Coffey was really amazing. He sort of gets lost in the "greats" the Oilers had, but he's basically top-3 offensive defensemen who ever lived.

 

[Coffey]

I'm still in shock this game is at home.. Any reason why it's so early?
Not that I'm complaining, just curious.

Aww you.

Probably a Wednesday night hockey thing for TV.

Was hoping for Pickard tonite myself…

Connor Brown will finally score in game 7 ot of the Stanley Cup finals

Into his own net...to shatter the collective hearts of HF Oil.

Love the earlier start time. Need retribution on these guys from the last game.

Holy shit, your snow removal sounds like ours. Our last storm, some places were almost a week . To be fair, we had 6 feet of heavy wet snow. Down to 1/2 now. 10 degrees here the last 2 days

IIRC you can unblock threads of people you ignore by clicking the "remove ignored content" off. Should make threads pop up while still blocking their message (assuming you havent blocked me)

I hardly have anyone on ignore lol. Who is the thread starter? Broberg Speed?

See tickets for $60 for the game. Was gonna go, but the weather = happy to watch at home instead.
Hope we win.

tonight ends a 9-games in 15-day stretch...hopefully not tired


build on last game and get revenge for that dog shit performance against the Blues 2 weeks ago

It's also the mid-point for a stretch of 6 games in 10 days.

 

[Coffey]

Broberg Speed?

Hilarious username

McDavid's scoring 2 goals tonight. Calling it now. Finishes with 2 goals and an assist.

I'm all set for the game and my wife will be providing snacks, beer, cushions and remote around 6:30.

On behalf of people going to the game though this is a really early weekday start after the city got hit with a huge dump of snow and the City still hasn't been clearing the roads. Took 40mins yesterday to go what would usually take 20mins.

This is a ridiculous start time for working people to go to the game. With the start time just being manipulated to create a double header on the tube I guess.

Agreed. This is a terrible inconvenience for the local fans trying to make the game, even without the dump of snow.

Is there a double header after this game (which is still going to end rather late)?

That’s the strange thing, only one other game tonite and it started at 5. (Rangers/Blue Jackets)

Man I just f***ed up my quesadilla so badly. Game night is off too a poor start.
