GDT: [Game #9] Dallas Stars @ Edmonton Oilers – 8:00 PM CT (BSSW)

[piqued]

Seguin got slashed on the hands by RNH on that failed clearing

Knew we were going to have to beat the refs as well but damn

 

[redbeardtx]

I'll take it!

Second game back from injury. Probably well below 100% but playing because he knows how screwed they are without him.

Thanks for the info. I haven't been following the league as a whole closely this season, but it seemed like something was definitely off.

 

[Kipper 17]

McDavid played like he's the 4th or 5th best forward on his team.

Is he injured or is his spirit just broken by languishing in Edmonton?

Ya he did not look very fast, maybe he came back too early from injury so he could play outside.

 

[Troy McClure]

No problem. Wedgewood gave up three and only three. The last two were some wild shit, too. But he also made good saves after getting to three. He was toying with their emotions.

My complaint is like this: if this is them playing bad, the league isn't going to like when they're giving a full 60 minutes of top play.

I made money by betting on the Stars to win

Oilers are one of the last teams I'd wanna play going into the 2nd night of a back to back with our backup goalie in net.

And yet we came out with the win. Love it. I had this game and Saturday down as for sure losses. Let's hope they change it up Saturday too

Vancouver has had our number recently for some reason

I like what Razor said too - “They have the 2nd worst powerplay in the league and I love it.” Basically went on to say if you have this record with that bad of a powerplay you’re killing it on 5v5 and PK.

Congratulations to Sam Gagner on winning the 2023-24 Stanley Cup! So happy for him!

O wait, that celebration was for a 2-4 goal in a November game? My mistake.

Lol yeah I was put off by it at first too but I guess he hasn’t played since 2020 so it made sense after that.

He played for Winnipeg in 22-23...

 

[eartotheground]

Huh you’re right, guess it was just ridiculous over cells then lol

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

A win's a win.

 

[Klockis]

Gagner celebrating like he did energized his team. Hockey players are just behind in the sports meta tbh

 

[catters078]

Great game to watch as a hockey fan.

Roope amazing.

If Dallas go and beat the hit Canucks and roll 8-1-1 record...start making noise!

Turning a scheduled loss into a win is pretty great, won't even be mad when they lose to Vancouver now.

Hard to bitch when you keep winning lol. LFG stars

Have you read this thread? I don't think it's as hard as you make it out to be...

 

[BrettHullsToe]

Man, this game was really good for getting the mainboards all fired up to shit on the Oilers across multiple threads - good times.

 

[MarginNotes]

Morning!

Great win, a lot of good performences over the line.

Thought: Isn't Miro skating backwards a tad too long at times resulting in being outskated when he turns around? Sometimes it leads to something that reminds of breakaways (he always catch up a bit to disturb the attacker, but still).

Edit: I wonder how many other #1 centres in the league who would sacrifice life and family to block shots in the way Hintz did at the end.

 

[serp]

Teams depth is so good that outside of Miro everybodies minutes are incredibly low. Not a single forward even averages 18 minutes so far. Robertson is 97th in the league in minutes per game with 17:46

The boxscore TOI of EDM compared to DAL is very funny.

A clearly hurt McDavid playing more than 25 minutes is just insanity. We're 10 games into the season and the Oilers are playing their best forwards more than some teams play their #1 defenseman.
