Seems like a mental intimidation game to call up Vinny (if hes dressed for tonight). May make LA think hes coming up to go after some players. Hopefully he does.

Watch Desharnais come in and immediately be our best defensive D. Because that’s how bad the rest of them are.

It’s probably more a wake up call to Bouchard. They can’t send him down but they can press box him, and the less games/points he gets, the more it hurts his next contract.

Nah any defenseman wearing an Oilers jersey automatically becomes shit

Furman South and Marc Joannette are tonight's refs. LA went 0-4 and the Oilers went 3-1 last season in games where South was officiating.

The shit-show-o-meter went down 2.5 points but the game is in LA so it just rose back up 2 points so net difference is a half point.

Sammy will play 20 minutes, have a secondary assist and a +2 and this place will shut down
Just came back from the future....he scores 3 goals. Injures 4 Oilers. And shuts down McDavid. He also gets a shutout because he plays goalie as well. He also wins the Jack Adam's award tonight.

I hate the 11-7. It wears out McDrai and we need our bottom pairing D to develop chemistry together. Most teams go with the standard 12-6 for good reason.

Woodcroft was on Stauffer's show last week and Stauffer asked him about the record going 11-7.

"I know what the record is but I'll leave it to you to do your own research on that Bob." wtaf Woodcroft, you aren't trying to one up some rando on social media. Answer a reasonable question ffs.

The Oilers record when they go 11-7 is something that is important to Oilers fans given how often Woodcroft likes to use that deployment.

That's a pretty smart ass response and yes, last year, it was successful but that's irrelevant considering we're barely a wild card team this season.

He is always playing coy with questions like that from the media. He thinks he’s some sort of coaching savant when really he’s merely at Homer Simpson level.

Indeed.

And I like the chemistry experiment going on on the first two lines. Hopefully Kane is back ahead of schedule too.

McDavid and Hyman worked well together

Rnh and Kostin worked well together

Draisaitl and Yamamoto worked well together

McDavid is too fast for Kostin but rnh is the right speed for Kostin

No tried and tested pairs. Good job.

What did McDavid do to deserve his line?


I don't think Draisaitl is himself since his injury. Needs time maybe.
