GDT: "Is There Anybody Out There?" | Oilers vs. Ducks (Part 2) | 4.22.2013 | 7:30 PM

[nexttothemoon]

Probably a fight shortly here.

 

[McDNicks17]

Who's Kenny?

http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=50034

I guess he looks kind of interesting.

 

[The Perfect Human*]

Minus Hemsky, because what this team needs more of is Ales Hemsky......

And some Robbie Schremp too huh?

 

[Moonlapse Vertigo]

Gilbert was on the All-Rookie team...17 goals as a rookie. Never looked out of place in a top-4 role on a pseudo-competitive team.

Petry plays a complete game, not a one-dimensional one. That's always been his calling card.

Both of these guys came out of college and didn't "burn out" with a pro schedule.

Both of these players were weaker than Schultz offensively coming out of college, and continue to be so today. But both were also miles ahead in their own zone.

Why is offense the only thing you people look at in defensemen? There's a reason they're called "defense"men

Petry does nothing right.

You're obviously right about defense being more important for um, defensemen.

Neither guy played the amount of games Schultz has played this season in their rookie years.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Awww yea. Everybody take a drink/shot.

"Belanger, broken pass/play"

Seriously, has this team seen a guy "go through the motions" this much since POS?

 

[Cloned]

And some Robbie Schremp too huh?

Oh, this just got delicious.

 

[harpoon]

The kid is burned out, pretty easy to tell.

Yet no such credit given by you to Gagner who has been playing the most minutes for months now.

He might get a rookie camp invite?

I don't see anything beyond that.

 

[nexttothemoon]

What's the story... has Belanger actually been injured or is it just that he's on his way out and it's been more of a pressbox situation?

 

[The Bored Man]

Looking at Cap Geek, the only good thing about this roster is how many of these losers are UFAs this summer or next.

2013: Khabibulin, Fistric, Jones, Petrell, Smithson, Sutton, Whitney
2014: Belanger, Brown, Dubnyk, Eager, Hemsky, Potter, N. Schultz, Smyth

Someone with Photoshop skills should put our front office's heads on that gif. An alternative to the sliding heads.

 

[MetaOil1993]

Watch Getzlaf, a huge skilled center. That's why we need Barkov.

Barkov or Monahan would be huge for the team. We really need one of them or any other big center if we are going to be competing with the likes of L.A and Anaheim for the foreseeable future.

 

[KlimasLoveChild]

I'm getting tired of our defenceman having full control of the puck behind their own net only to blindly throw it around the wall when no one is there but an opposing defenceman. Is this Ralph Kruegers vaunted breakout?

 

[Asher]

Neither guy played the amount of games Schultz has played this season in their rookie years.

I doubt Gilbert was playing the number of minutes Schultz has played this year either.

 

[PBandJ]

Yet no such credit given by you to Gagner who has been playing the most minutes for months now.

Is Gagner coming from a shorter college schedule to the AHL/NHL?

Didn't think so.

 

[Del Preston]

This thread is about to turn into a barroom brawl.

 

[Insta]

Awww yea. Everybody take a drink/shot.

"Belanger, broken pass/play"

Don't forget the one for "the puck is out of reach for Ryan Smyth"

He's apparently over 200 pounds now... I guess that's why the Oilers are interested.

 

[oilers2k10]

Gagner has like 2 pts in last 10 games

 

[MetaOil1993]

Wow clear tripping penalty missed

 

[GrandLarseny]

That had to be one of the slowest two-on-ones ever.

 

[Moonlapse Vertigo]

Barkov or Monahan would be huge for the team. We really need one of them or any other big center if we are going to be competing with the likes of L.A and Anaheim for the foreseeable future.

Craig Button is claiming that Barkov can play in the NHL next year... but then again... this is Craig Button we're talking about.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Meaningless game, yet Hall and Yakupov are still giving 100 percent effort

Love it.

I'm a bit surprised you don't have a scouting report on him, does anyone know what they kid has going on?

 

[molsonmuscle360]

On a night like this where the refs are snubbing you and the other team is running around, especially with the season in the tubes, it's time for someone to take 5 games for the team.
