[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

PJ with 2 tonight. Barrie with a PPG. Draisatl with an ENG. McDavid with post game poutine.
Oilers 4-2.

 

[LTIR]

Line up is projected or confirmed? Neal is out?

 

[BertMcDrai]

Thought his name is Devin Shore...

4-2 win...JP with his first goal.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I was about to make a GDT and continue my lengthy win streak. You get the blame if we lose, Soli.

Well, we're facing Montreal and a toast reference worked last time, so...

All credit goes to the incredibly witty @Cloned and his unrivalled sense of humour for coming up with this brilliant joke. He did not pay me to say this.​

 

[dssource]

Khaira out as well? Many here will enjoy that.

I'd like to see line 3 continue to improve and get at least 1 point tonight and of course the Oilers with another 'dub'.

I don't understand why they are starting this game so early, it being a home game. Not planning to watch this live. Will watch delayed instead. Enjoy the game everyone.

Go Oilers Go!

We will still blame you. Its almost 11 and only 6 hrs to puck drop. No jumping the gun here.

McNuge with 4 points a piece

Probably a triple header national telecast. Must be another game at 8.

 

[Joey Moss]

Ennis in tonight according to Tip

Nygard in as well

 

[Soli]

Nygard in.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Kind of funny that Habs fans are calling us a 2 man team when our 3rd best forward is arguably better than any of theirs. They're in for a reality check.

Habs fans before the game vs after getting lit up by McDrai:

 

[Joey Moss]

So Shore in the middle, Ennis and Nygard in.. something doesn't add up.

Maybe Archibald slides back to RW and Chiasson comes out?

Ennis - Turris - Pulju
Nygard - Shore - Archibald

 

[Llamamoto]

Maybe Archibald slides back to RW and Chiasson comes out?

Ennis - Turris - Pulju
Nygard - Shore - Archibald

Once Haas comes back that could be the makings of a solid 4th line.

Nygard - Haas - Archibald

Good speed, defensive ability, and a bit of offensive upside as well.

Sure you were. It was less than 7 hours to game time. Everyone knows a Soli GDT means everyone else dropped the ball.

That would be a good 4th line in my opinion. Fast and able to get on the forecheck. Chaisson and Khaira are just too slow.

 

[Soli]

Ennis in tonight according to Tip

Nygard in as well

Reid says Ennis is merely available.



EDIT: Reid backtracks.

 

[Joey Moss]

Maybe Archibald slides back to RW and Chiasson comes out?

Ennis - Turris - Pulju

I thought this as well but Tippett was talking highly of Chiasson’s PP presence. Chiasson also had media avail would that be unusual for a healthy scratch?

 

[McCombo]

Hoping 3rd line would be Ennis-Turris-Puljujärvi. Really close match-up tonight. Bookies have it about 50-50 and I have to agree. Home-ice advantage is cancelled out by Montreal being slightly better team at the moment.

Their tenacious forecheck will really test Oilers backend. Need to have clean breakouts. Last year Montreal were really good team at 5on5. Ranking 2nd in Corsi for%, Fenwick for% and expected goals for%. Good test for Oilers.

Glad Nygard is getting a shot finally. Glad Ennis is back. Hopefully Khaira and Chiasson sitting.

I'm not sure how Montreal would be considered a better team when Edmonton was 2nd in their division last year and Montreal was going to miss the playoffs. Both teams made significant improvements to their top 9 group. Edmonton's fire power alone makes them a more difficult team to play.
