“It’s hard to play when you’re thinking about whether or not you’re capable of making certain movements ... A tough 18 minutes there in the second, but I fully believe that it’s going to be fine going forward. I’m sure I’ll be fine for Tuesday"
-Devan Dubnyk

“I’m told that I’m not supposed to be worried about it. I talked with him earlier, and he said he’s feeling it a little bit but it shouldn’t be a problem, and I’ve been assured it shouldn’t be a problem. Obviously he won’t touch the ice [Monday]. We’ll make sure that he gets the treatment that he needs.”

“Certainly we’ll look at the big picture. If there’s any risk of him damaging this further, then he won’t be in the net. But if he can play and go out and play well, he’ll be in.”
-Mike Yeo, on Dubnyk's knee

“You think about it, of course. Just keep playing the same way, things will happen. I was getting chances, they just were not going in for me. I’ll start getting mad when I’m not getting chances. I was getting chances before, I just wasn’t burying them. So it was good to get that one tonight.”
-Jason Zucker, on getting his first goal

“We put ourselves in a pretty tough position. Those goals in the second gave us some life and then we started to play. Just came up a little short.”
-Zach Parise

“It’s too bad. We’re just a group that does that. We stay in every single game. We’re not willing to throw games away or give up on two points. We’ve been rewarded a lot of times for that effort, and unfortunately we didn’t tonight.”
-Devan Dubnyk

double hat trick in the 1st period tonight for McBeast

I think we will be able to shut him down for the most part tonight. With the exception of a few players (Kane, Iginla), we are usually pretty good at shutting down other teams' stars. For example, Mackinnon & Toews are pretty much always invisible against us, and we are pretty good at shutting down Seguin/Benn (at least at home).

Anyone ever been to one of Russo and Souhans live podcast tapings? I was already thinking about going to Tom Reid's before the game and just read that they'll be taping it there today at 4.

Looking at the OP, Edmonton's lines look pretty stacked. I don't think we stand a chance. Tonight is the night the last time we see an Oilers game at the X before FSN starts showing Edmonton's putrid record here before McDavid, and then their record after McDavid.

Are the Pacific standings upside down?

I think it would be easier to find division predictions that were exactly reversed.


I feel like this thread needs more McDavid/Gretzky comparisons...

There is very little at this point that is standing in the way of McDavid shattering Gretzky's TOI vs. Wild record. He's going to stomp it so hard they're already planning on not having a ceremony open to the public.

The Wild D better play better than they have. EDM makes all kinds of mistakes themselves, but they have the speed and talent to get chances on the break.

MacDavid is not like the Yaks, Eberles, RNH's, even Halls. He is madly talented AND smart.

Is there not a fair way to just do 2 conferences where you play teams an equal amount? I hate being stuck in a good division while other teams can skate by, especially with the seeding structure of the playoffs
