[dssource]

GDT: Game
hoping to see PGT: Win thread later tonight but I should know better.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Though I admit, I am somewhat optimistic here about this game.

I mean, the Oil did manage to upgrade their current defence (not a difficult task, considering it's Garrison and Wideman out), and it's not like much of value was lost (I'd have been fine losing Caggs on waivers, and a 3rd is acceptable in exchange for an NHL player).

If they can get the defence back to at least looking passable again, that'll at least help the forwards and goalies look better.

As long as you're satisfied with the defence today.

Definitely agree about the 3rd and 4th lines. Just seems like the rest of our forwards thrown together to make a bottom-6.

Also agree about Gravel. He was actually playing like a #4 Dman and really stepped up with all these injuries. I think it is Chia's doing to bench him. It would look bad on Chia if he trades for two assets and immediately scratches them. Which sucks, because Gravel is better than both Manning or Petrovic.

Is Chia the new coach?

Ehh they were better last game, and the Jets are a good attacking team.

If they can get to a point where they're not bleeding chances against and able to somewhat move the puck forward, then you're back to hoping Hitch's system can cover for it, and McDavid can continue to pull a rabbit out of his hat to generate offence.

Not to say he'd make any difference, but if the plan was to trade Caggs, why do you waive Zykov days eariler right after Chiasson goes down and on to the IR?

What was okay depth just evaporated over the course of a week due to injuries (Chiasson and Yama) and mis-management. Though I guess that "depth" has now been moved to defence... Thus, I look forward to losing Gravel on waviers once Russell is back...

Because this was not a knee-jerk reaction and there is a plan, something, something.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Lol another 7th dman to add to the log jam.

We will have enough for a football team soon

 

[McNuge]

Where the f*** is Gravel??? Every time he's played I thought he did pretty damn well at limiting chances. Why is he being scratched? Why the f*** are Benning and Manning playing together? They both make the same blunders.

negative x negative = positive?

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

negative x negative = positive?

 

[KCC]

Might as well keep losing at this point to really cement some changes this off season. Start the new year off right I say.

 

[IAGTTAYM]

Those lines and pairings are some bullshit. Jesus christ.

Godspeed, McDavid.

 

[McDrai]

Projected lines:

Draisaitl - McDavid - Kassian
Lucic - RNH - Puljujarvi
Reider - Khaira - Spooner
Gambradella - Brodziak - Rattie

Nurse - Petrovic
Jones - Larsson
Manning - Benning

Koskinen


Team looks like garbage.

Oh Bob

 

[Soundwave]

Oh Bob

Dumb comparison Bob. There were no shootout/3-on-3 games to inflate win totals for one, for two that team had a valid reason for a slow start ... they were the defending friggin' champs with more mileage than a 100k truck.

 

[McDrai]

Oh Bob

Must be getting some money under the table or extra Mediterranean Chicken Pizzas from Royal Pizza

 

[Marty McSurly]

Oh Bob

He would have to believe Oilers fans are stupid to tweet something like that.

They always come across like they have so much contempt for a fan base that has consistently sold out the building for horrible teams since Katz bought the club. (but maybe that's why they think the fans are stupid)

 

[backhandsauce]

Kassian scores.

Book it.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Oh Bob

I imagine Katz ate that up though.

 

[Mez]

Goals scored since the start of 2017-18:

46 - 62 - 9
11 - 38 - 15
12 - 13 - 16
0 - 13 - 7

11 - 2
1 - 5
8 - 7

Oh Bob

Good job posting this after you're done Oilers Now, Bobby. What a stupid tweet!

 

[fireantz]

I love how the GDT is "Game"

I liked the PGT too where the OP said he puked in his mouth a little looking at the lines. This is where we are at. Well done.

jebus another toilet bowl.

Arizona has about 5 players I'd even want and they might beat us. But Any Yotes fans might be saying the same thing.

It is the first PGT of three! It will be followed by “Set” and “Match”

lmfao this is shit

 

[Chef de Cuisine]

our team is actually a joke
