Pre-Game Talk: Goose egg revenge - Edm v StL - Wed @ 6 PM

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Shut down and shut out by the Blues last game, the Oilers will need to play a full 60 with far more desire, passion and drive in order to score at least 1 goal.

Perhaps the first roadie of the year will get them going early and scoring often. Blues have an excellent defensive team but as we showed vs the Penguins, we had a lot more to give too.

Systems wise the long pass and chip did not work in periods 1 & 2 vs the Blues last week. Woody needs to break down the StL D with speed and the players need to execute the breakout much better.

I think we have a successful roadie here getting all 6 points of a possible 6.

Forever the optimist.

Oilers will beat the blues. 5-2 win for the Oil.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

They just got ground and pounded by the Jets and lost that undefeated momentum

Would love to return the favor with a victory in their building

Win this back to back and get the Cup train back rolling.

Missed the last game against the Blues but I read the team played like garbage which had been a theme throughout most of the games early on excluding the last 2 periods against the Pens. Going to need to continue that effort if the team wants to do even more damage in this year's playoffs (assuming they make it of course. nothing is certain except death. #debbiedowner lol).

 

[JordanGalhanth]

It'd be awfully nice to win two in a row for once. Let's see if the 2nd period shows up for 3 periods.

Got my lucky oilers jacket on. We rarely lose when I wear this

This schedule is unfair. We are playing really good teams (except for vancouver).

Hi, my name is the Calgary Flames. And tonight I'll be playing against the team you played last night.

Calgarys played the exact same teams except they played Vegas instead of Calgary and they are 5-1. Saying the schedule is hard or unfair is silly

Yep, and typically with a back up goalie to boot. it does seem amiss.

Oh well, this team can make its own success. They can be very good if they want to. I hope they face Binnington and chase him early. Dude is Sideshow Bob.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

So the Flames get 3 days off before Saturday's battle of Alberta

Meanwhile, the Oilers need to go on the road and play a back to back against the Blues and the Blackhawks.

It’s definitely a tough schedule so far. 3-3 is actually impressive start considering who we faced.

And their backup goalie.

 

[MinisterOfSinister]

Moved from sunny southern Alberta to St Louis here this summer. The wife pulled a solid and got early bday tickets to this game.
My Draisaitl sweater didn't show up in time but it's fine, I'll be rocking my lucky Syracuse Bulldogs Ogilthorpe jersey.
Hoping for a solid effort tonight, the Blues are built well to deal with us and they always give us fits.
Just win baby. Or my wife will never let it go.

they've played 2 teams on their 2nd night of a back-to-back playing their back-up goalies

...and now get to sit and wait while we play 3 games in 4 nights

 

[McShogun99]

This schedule is unfair. We are playing really good teams (except for vancouver).

We were a final 4 team. It should be the other teams looking at the schedule and circling the dates when they play the Oilers.

 

[iCanada]

This schedule is unfair. We are playing really good teams (except for vancouver).

On the bright side if we make it through the first 25 games or so relatively unscathed we're in a hella good spot to tear up the league afterward.

 

[NeverForget06]

Need to score first so the Blues can't just suffocate the life out of us like last game. Hope the boys ate their wheaties this morning !

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

It’s definitely a tough schedule so far. 3-3 is actually impressive start considering who we faced.

We outplayed Buffalo by a wide margin too. Could have had a better fate, slow starts and the PK is hurting us right now. Solve those 2 things and the record should really improve.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Oilers win 5-2.

Can the Knights please go away? I don't want to face them in a potential playoff series.

 

[Da McBomb]

Hope this game isn't as boring as the last one against them. McDavid needs to break out against the Blues with a big game. Excited to see what this team can do on the road.

 

[K1984]

If we come in shooting the puck and playing in the middle of the ice like we did against the Penguins we will win.

I'm not really convinced that the Blues "shut down" the Oilers last Saturday, to me it had much more to do with the overall team unwillingness to shoot the puck or play to the middle with speed. Blues defended well, but we couldn't have possibly made it any easier on them.
