GDT: Game 7 | Pens @ Oilers | October 23, 9:00 PM EST | Here's Your Sign

[Zirakzigil]

Murray!!!!

 

[Woodrow]

McDavid left the D in his dust.

 

[Andy99]

It’s truly embarrassing, win or lose, that they’ll be giving up 5 or 6 goals to EDM with Talbot in net, and only one of those goals, a weak one, gifted to McDavid...

 

[MrBurghundy]

Brilliant Sullivan, keep Rust with Crosby, and move Guentzel off the line for Brassard.

 

[ColePens]

I am a taaaaad disappointed with Brassard's ability to win any battle. Dude used to kill us all game. I do not like his game so far.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

McDavid left the D in his dust.

Dumo wasn't that far off from turning around.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Man Mcdavid is fast

 

[canadianguy77]

Brilliant Sullivan, keep Rust with Crosby, and move Guentzel off the line for Brassard.

Its becoming Bylsma level of stubbornness.

 

[ColePens]

Brilliant Sullivan, keep Rust with Crosby, and move Guentzel off the line for Brassard.

Same thing happened last year. Jake left Sid's line, led the team in hits, and found his game right back with Sid towards the end of the year.

Those 2 just cannot start together. They stand around too much.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Yet, Sully has given him tons of shifts with different guys all game long. He deserves less ice time, not more.

 

[K Fleur]

I’m pretty sure JJ was on the ice for all 5 Oilers goals so far. 100% sure he was on for 4.

What a player.

 

[JTG]

Edmonton has 11 first round picks playing tonight by my count.

 

[MrBurghundy]

Same thing happened last year. Jake left Sid's line, led the team in hits, and found his game right back with Sid towards the end of the year.

Those 2 just cannot start together. They stand around too much.

Yet we keep getting wingers that do absolutely nothing on the right side.

Put Horny there and be done with it.

 

[ColePens]

Hey at the end of the day - it's entertainment. And this is entertaining. Just win....?

 

[Andy99]

I’m pretty sure JJ was on the ice for all 5 Oilers goals so far. 100% sure he was on for 4.

What a player.

...for the opposing team....

 

[mpp9]

Brilliant Sullivan, keep Rust with Crosby, and move Guentzel off the line for Brassard.

I don't want to hear any bitching about Brassard's usage. He couldn't produce with 3rd line caliber players. He's now playing in place of our best LWer. Score a f***ing goal.

 

[ColePens]

Love 72

 

[canadianguy77]

I’m pretty sure JJ was on the ice for all 5 Oilers goals so far. 100% sure he was on for 4.

What a player.

Pretty sure he's been on the ice for close to 75 percent of the goals scored on the team so far this season.

 

[Bingo71]

You don’t want to see McDavid eat this team alive on a 3 on 3 OT.

 

[KIRK]

I am a taaaaad disappointed with Brassard's ability to win any battle. Dude used to kill us all game. I do not like his game so far.

The lingering question about having 'the most depth up front that we've had in years' was always going to be how the pieces fit together.

The answer . . . we don't have a RW who can stick with Sid, we need to play a 42 year old Cullen at L3 LW, there's no fit for Brass, and we have no 4th line.

 

[Andy99]

So we’re playing for the tie? How Steelers of the them!

 

[chethejet]

Dumo should have check him into the boards. That puts a stop to that going to the net. No fore check, no hitting, no paying the price. Oh well.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Agreed. Also noticed he's horrible at clearing zones. It's always too weak.

 

[JTG]

That's Oleksiak.


Ruhwedel actually looked good playing #6 mins in 2017. Poor in 2018, but he still has showed more than Oleksiak.

Oleksiak has never looked good playing in the playoffs.

Sure he'll score more points but is an adventure in his own zone.

Ruhwedel is just a more steady player.

He absolutely is not. Ruhwedel is horrible. He has limited offensive ability, he gets bullied in the defensive zone, he isn't particularly good at defending against the rush, and he's small.

He is not more solid than Oleksiak and he has about 1/100th the potential.

I mean... we do, but Sid doesn't want to play with him.
