Early start. Sweet.

Go Oilers!

 

[FlameChampion]

Wouldn’t mind seeing Pickard get this one. Give Skinner some time off.

Let's see if Boston tires out after beating Toronto last night

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

The Bruins basically toyed with the Leafs last night. It wasn't even close.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Oilers had to travel across the country while the Bruins played last night in Toronto

could be a sleepy game

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

The Bruins have 14 overtime/shootout losses?

That's definitely something.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Thanks for picking up GDT duties @CROTT.

Beware the Bruins

Beat them at their own game

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

The Oilers owe them back for last game. I expect a solid performance.

Obviously a hard road game against a really good team, but also an opportunity tonight to really leave Vegas in our rear view mirror.

@CROTT keep the streak alive!!!!

RIP my home's furnace. Haven't had heat in my place for a couple days and won't get an installation till tomorrow. An Oilers win would warm my heart up though! Should be a fun one to watch. An early start time is welcome too.

 

[bucks_oil]

Go Oilers! Wifey and I will be at the game!

Hoping not to have a full beer thrown at us from 15 rows up - upper deck with Oilers gear on.... never again! We splurged on Loge seats this year.

I was just going to post this. That is crazy lol. We have 2

Gagner outplays Brown by *checks notes* a f***ing country mile but gets scratched again for that useless player.

Scratching Gagner over Brown is getting old. It has to be because McDavid requests it at this point or Knob is just a Knob.

I hope each goalie gets two games on this trip alternating the games.

Skinner - Boston and Buffalo
Pickard - Columbus and Pittsburgh

I don’t think McDavid has anything to do with it. I think it all comes down to Brown PKs and Gagner doesn’t.

That’s a shitty situation! Hopefully you can stay warm!

Thanks! Getting out of the shower and drying off is definitely awful. I'm managing though. It's just too bad I had to get a replacement order this late in the winter. Life happens I guess.

Doesn’t make a ton of sense. It’s not like the PK has got it done lately either. After the deadline, Brown shouldn’t be in the lineup anymore. But realistically he probably will be because the team hasn’t wanted to hurt his feelings all year.

I would of liked to see Pickard too. When he plays well, he never gets another follow up game.

I don’t if I blame Knoblauch. Roster decisions have always been suspect on this team.

I’m ok with Skinner getting the game as he’s the clear #1. Pickard will probably get Pittsburgh again and perhaps Columbus.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them pretty much alternate starts through March (depending on how it goes obviously).

Bruins - Skinner
Blue Jackets - Pickard
Sabres - Skinner
Penguins - Pickard
Capitals - Skinner
Avalanche - Skinner
Canadians - Pickard
Sabres - Skinner
Leafs - Skinner
Senators - Pickard
Jets - Skinner
Kings - Skinner
Ducks - Pickard

I think the above has a fairly decent chance of being the rotation assuming everyone maintains an acceptable level of play.
