GDT: Game 8 JP Development CAPPED // Caps @ Oilers // Oct 25 @ 7 PM MST // TV: SN-1

I mean realistically Jesse was just the pylon Nuge used haha

A pylon in the right place at the right time. Not to mention a pylon that caused multiple Jets turnovers in their own zone, leading to chances for Draisaitl.

Lucic gets goals banked in off him by McDavid on the PP yet no one calls him a pylon for it.

Im not denying he had a good game...just the goal was funny.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Im not denying he had a good game...just the goal was funny.

I thought he did a pretty good job presenting his stick in the right position, all RNH had to do was hit him in the tape.

 

[GameChanger]

Everyone scores lucky goals and Pulju has had those, too, but I don't think that was one. You need to be strong enough to be able to park in front of the goal and you also have to be able to put your stick to the right angle at the right moment. I can guarantee a lot of forwards wouldn't have scored there.

But in that goal Nuge did excellent work and I liked McDavid's pass too. It was certainly a combination of skills. In fact the defender (can't remember who he was) also did a good job at keeping the blueline, though that was more like what should always be expected.

 

[nabob]

Without Jesse's goal we'd be 2-4-1 instead of 3-3-1 btw.

Apparently he was only half decent in that game

 

[nabob]

Glad to see Caggiula back. Thought he looked really good before getting hurt. Marody and Chiasson definitely earned another look as well.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Wait why break up the line that worked so well last game? Lucic-Strome-Marody was good. And I don't even like Lucic or Strome. Caggiula can do what he does from the 4th line too.

Lol, not hating because I've been happy with Lucic so far, but he's definitely been called a pylon on here a lot last season.

Anyway, looking forward to this game, hopefully I'll be able to watch. Was going to comment on the lines, but what's the point

I dont think you're paying attention then.

Puljujarvi has been garbage and deserves to be scratched

 

[Drivesaitl]

Well I don't like Pulju getting scratched but I do like trying Chiasson with Draisaitl on the second line after his strong performance against the Pens. Frankly I'm surpriseed it took so long to put him in the lineup after his preseason play and the mediocre 4th line performances. Would be great if him and Draisaitl could catch fire together, I think his game should mesh with Drai's.

meh, its kind of suspicious. Chia gets this guy, McLellan sits him out for 6 games figuring he's not good enough even to be in the lineup, starts several other players instead of Chiasson, who proceeds to score two goals in first game, then wins the prize of topsix minutes.

Has Mclellan got any egg on his face?

 

[McBeastMode]

I hope the whole team doesn't stay on the mattress, and wake up for ten minutes a game.
McDavid, RNH and Lucic are usually dialed in...every game..

We need the Mattress Muffins on this team to earn their pay..
Drai makes 100,000.00$ for playing about 20 minutes a game...

McDavid goes hard almost every minute he's on the ice..

We have some pretty talented players on this team, but they never choose to show up..

 

[Drivesaitl]

You would scratch Draisaitl.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

You would scratch Draisaitl.

And you would give him the hart trophy for having to play with his linemates.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

It'll be interesting to see if Marody can get that 4th line going.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Nothing screams lack of org depth like Yamamoto on topline, Chiasson on 2nd line, and Marody on 3rd line. One could even say Brodz on 4th line.

This is going to be ugly.

 

[ElysiumAB]

Can we please keep this on topic and continue talking about mattresses?

 

[Drivesaitl]

And you would give him the hart trophy for having to play with his linemates.

Well, more like an Iron cross..

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Talbot again...
8 straight games, and after leaking 6 goals on 31 shots against a team the Oilers dominated. I can't believe he hasn't played Koskinen yet, a $2.5M experienced big framed goaltender, that dominated the KHL last year.
I see the Oilers lighting up the net again tonight, but I just have zero faith in Talbot, especially against the reigning cup champs with best PP in the league.
6-4 Caps

 

[Drivesaitl]

Also, hey @Drivesaitl maybe lets keep this bad boy on the rails my man!

Not sure what this is about, or the Mattress thing.

I don't watch any TV programs though so..

He repeatedly proves himself to be a terrible coach. The media feeds it as if was some amazing coaching play to slot Chiasson in finally. The blind squirrel found a nut.

 

[PeakMcOil]

I want this game to start so bad. Mainly because it will make for a nice distraction until Red Dead comes out later tonight.

 

[McOvechking]

Our two best hitters should be on separate lines. Keep Marody with Lucic and drop Caggiula to 4th

 

[TheNumber4]

Don't care if we win or lose tonight as long as I see the Oilers continue creating in the O zone with passes that connect and so,e actual creativity.

In 16-17 when we lost to Pens in extra time but played better, faster, and with kore creativity than any other time I saw the Oilers that year, we went on to a 11-3-1 record. The next game we lost to Montreal but still showed well.

I want to see if last nights offence was an illusion or if it's the real Oilers. If it's the real Oilers, win or lose tonight I think we can have a competitive season that has a chance at the playoffs.

 

[FlameChampion]

JP has been inconsistent this year but I dont think he should of been benched. If they are going to play Marody on the fourth line, maybe he should be center and Brodziak should be benched and leave JP in.

Brodziak and Kassian have been worse.

But yeah accountability.

Still baffles me that Koskinen hasn’t played.

 

[TheNumber4]

All 4 of the Rught Wingers drawing in tonig have shown more than Pulju this year. I'm disappointed he's benched but if we're going to reward performance and have internal competition how do explain to those wingers who have been effective why they are out vs. Pulju who has been ineffective.
