Pre-Game Talk: Game Deuce

[PULSATING]

Hyped for next game, feeling blessed to even be in the dance

Hopefully Kassian is removed from lineup. McDavid needs to be miles and miles better, as does Nurse. McDavid was still creating at least, although not at his normal levels. Nurse had one of the worst games I've seen from him all year, if not THE worst game.

Maybe a curse and blessing how big imoact McDavid Nd Nurse had. If they dont play well, edmonton is screwed

 

[SwedishFire]

Bear out for Bouchard would probably be an improvement.

If Smith is injured...oh boy.

Really don't like those lines. That second line isn't going to get anything done with Nuge at center, so Puljujarvi is wasted there. If they want to run only one line with a chance, then give that one line tour 3 best guys

So negative! Lets try Yam and Pulju together. Nuge is what he is. He is 2 way doable with a good shot. Probably he has concussion problems, otherwise its hard to explain his suddenly drop off

You must have some secret insight into the GDT being created AS WE SPEAK!!!

 

[SwedishFire]

Huh? Bear was fine last night imo. Barrie was awful.
But yes, loading up on McDrai again is just stupid and reminiscent of McLellan.
The top 6 is fine as it was last night. The bottom 6 is the main issue. Ennis needs to be in over Kassian. And I'd take Shore in over Neal as well.

Ennis-McLeod-Archibald
Shore/Neal-Haas-Chiasson

Yes, thats the best lineup this team can ice, maybe theow in Nygård every seldom game for energy input. If oilers doesnt win, try harder next game, same lineup.

You like your pizza like I like my ladies

A greasy 5/10?

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Cheese down in a frying pan. Or even crazier is french toast pizza.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

A greasy 5/10?

cold and crusty?

 

[dssource]

Need more intensity in game 2. The points in the game when we were hitting, we were dominant and the jets looked scared.

And for the love of G**, fix the ice in that arena! Why is it SO bad?!?!

 

[CycloneSweep]

A greasy 5/10?

Hot, ready, covered in hot sauce

 

[belair]

Don't knock it till you try it.

Abundantly clear you replace the cinnamon with traditional pizza spices though.

 

[Heavy Dee]

I see Tippett is full on panic now with his lines that have never been tried before. Reminds me of last year's play in.

And he clearly moved JP to the second to drive it because he knows RNH can't.

If only we had another center capable of driving his own line...

 

[Zamknij kurwa ryj]

This one will tell us a lot about what kind of a team we have here.

They come out and run the Jets' shit, game 1 (the 3rd period in particular) is a distant memory. More of the same? It will be a short series.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Two annoying things have happened since last night to me.
Oilers lost
I microwaved my pizza too long and now it’s too hot to eat

let’s right this ship and get a win!!!!!

Ever try one of those Air Fryers? Much better

 

[Senor Catface]

We've lost our last two games.

The last time that happened this season, we followed it up by going...

16-7

 

[Senor Catface]

But honestly, please win. I can't deal with going 0-2.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Better hope that 3 of those losses don't happen in the next 6 games

Hmmmm no I haven’t..... I’m pretty limited at work though. Hell we’re lucky to have a microwave lmao.

 

[McShogun99]

I’m fine with Mcdavid-Draisaitl together against the Jets, especially with the lack of penalties being called. They’ll be on the ice for almost 50% of the game and have owned the Jets. That leaves RNH with our 2 best wingers in Yamamoto and JP so hopefully that line can hold its own.

 

[McDrai]

[McTonyBrar]

 

[Shathar]

Hopefully he doesn't mess with the lines too much. The problem(s) last night weren't the forward groups. Of course, everything is relative and it would have been nice if some of that pressure panned out. But the most costly mistakes were on D.

Even with that said, they played pretty good after the first.

 

[JayE]

I don't really get breaking up three of the four lines. The Draisaitl and Khaira lines pretty soundly outplayed their opposition and the McDavid line scored. McLeod's line played sparingly, but gave up essentially nothing while generating one golden chance.

 

[Paralyzer008]

The Jets love to collapse defensively and leave the D open.

It'd be nice if we had a D-man who can shoot from the point or be able to find ways to get wristers through consistently. After all, Barrie getting his shot even near the net led to Puljujarvi's goal.

I wonder if we have that guy....hmmm....do we have a D-man who can do that....

Tippett: "Nope. We don't. Never heard of him"
