I like the naming system for Thornton and Burns.

You forgot Couture... very subtle. Took me a while

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Why is Johnny Hobbit on the fourth line?

Ah yes, it would appear I did indeed.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This is going to be a war, I just know it.

 

[Connor McFries]

I feel that the first 15 mins of this game is going to be fire. The Sharks likely will skate circles and it will be up to Dadbot to keep the game close.

 

[Da McBomb]

BIG test tonight. Sharks have given the Oilers the most problems of any team this year I think. Hopefully Talbot continues rolling.

 

[FlameChampion]

Oilers 4-2

That was last night, you're a day late, Mr. Time Traveller.

 

[Connor McFries]

Lol, I probably should have explained my stance more clearly.

A lot of people on this board who think that the Oilers make the playoffs prefer to play the Ducks in the first round. A reason being that the Oilers match up really well against the Ducks. The Ducks like to kill you by grinding a lot. They don't really have the horses to play a speed game.

This is where SJ differs. Yes, they're a bigger team. However, they're a fast team. I've caught a few games of theirs and they ALWAYS come out skating.

If last nights game meant the Oilers had to weather a grinding storm, then tonight's game, they likely have to weather a speed storm with attacks coming in wave after wave.

 

[Diamondillium]

That was last night, you're a day late, Mr. Time Traveller.

Technically we're all time travelers, we just all travel time at a consistent rate and in one direction.

Don't know why I felt the need to bring that up, I just find it a fun thought.

 

[oXo Cube]

Meh, we could have beaten this team in both of the first 2 games, and we can beat them tonight.

Jones has been better than Talbot H2H and that has been the biggest difference in the season series to date.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Big test.

I think they are up to the challenge!

Go Oilers! Beat those ******!

 

[McDraekke]

Big test.

I think they are up to the challenge!

Go Oilers! Beat those ******!

I'm not saying you're always negative... but I like what this season has done to some of our attitudes towards tough games!! haha.

I said that if they took 1 of 2 of these games, I'd be happy. So I'm happy already, with beating the Ducks like that. It would be nice to get another win tonight, but I'm not holding my breath. Do they have it in them? Yes. Will they pull it out against one of the strongest teams right now? Not so certain.

 

[McJadeddog]

if we win this game in regulation tonight, i will officially "believe".... i solemnly promise to switch from my traditional stance of "always expecting the worse" with this team, to believing in the team, and expecting success

this, of course, means we will lose 5-0 tonight, as the universe will simply not allow me to have a positive outlook for this team, lol... if we do lose badly, feel free to blame me

Same here.

This win would make the Oilers great again imo. #MOGA

 

[McPuritania]

Hertl's in, and I think Goodrow is out. I dunno, I'm waiting on the lines from the Sharks board before I change the lines.

#MEGA sounds better. Make Edmonton Great Again. Plus it's a good word to describe the build of the new Chiarelli Oilers. Mega.

Game 51: Rise of the Slepyshluts

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Damn near forgot, the Great (est) One's birthday is today. It'd be nice to rack up another win for his 56th.

 

[Hugo McStiglitz]

Is Talbot the confirmed starter?

 

[frag2]

[McPuritania]

Is Talbot the confirmed starter?

Not yet that I know of. I'm just assuming he starts.

 

[Soli]

Thanks for the GDT, McPuritania.
