I am almost to the point that I am thinking about McDavid...

Tonight's game should make that more of a reality.

Hall McDavid Yakupov - 'our' seemingly inevitable 1st line of 1sts. 20 years from now, people will be referring to the "tanking" period of the Edmonton Oilers, quite a step down from the "Boys on the Bus."

It is too early in the season to even be contemplating this. Damn Oilers... incompetent Eakins... frickin MacTavish... and six-ring Lowe.

What could possibly go wrong if we leave Stamkos all alone in the slot?

It'd be too dangerous to not swarm the puck carrier. Can't cover Stamkos (or Ovie when its his turn at the feast table...).

Hat tricks all around?

...And Ference still gets top defensive pairing minutes.. :shakehead

edit:

Once more defensive depth arouse.. I thought Ference would play where he thrives... third pairing minutes?

edit #2:

I'm predicting the continuation of their current-franchise-breaking streak!

Gem of a GDT, fitter, major props. Great work as always!

Dallas: What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge jerseys?
MacTeus: No, Dallas. I'm trying to tell you that when you're fired, you won't have to.

TB wins easily after the 1st period and plays without the goalie for the rest of the game and an extra attacker.

But seriously, the Oilers should practice against 2 goalies and 6 forwards, like biking with weights in a back-pack. So when the real race begins the advantage is in the preparation

I am always excited when I see a 488fitter GDT up. Way more than the actual game. Super nice job once again.

This one will be over by the 10 minute mark. 7-2 Lightning.

Optomistic prediction for the day:

6-5 Oilers
(Hallx3, Yak, Draisaitl, Pouliot)

With Monday night football the game better be good or it'll be switched over quickly

5-3 loss.

Stamkos with 2 in the third to put us away. Oilers score one late in the third and Bob Stauffer says "this ones not over yet!"


You mean Jack Michaels saying "and the oilers are RIIIIIGHHHHT!!!!! back in this game"

Stamkos with two in the first.

Hall, Nuge and Perron score for the losers.

Going to the game. Was hoping to see Drouin and Hedman live. Maybe next year.

Tampa has a pretty unimpressive lineup other than Stamkos to be honest. We are going to win this game and chase their starter. You would think we would be back to playing vs every teams backups already.

You hear that, Mr Eakins?... That is the sound of inevitability... It is the sound of you being fired....Goodbye, Mr Eakins
