Pre-Game Talk: Knights @ Oilers 2:00 p.m. Saturday, April 16th

[Ritchie Valens]

Afternoon game at Rogers when there's a Slipknot concert the "knight" before.

Prepare for shitty ice in this one.

Schmiddday is finally going.
Gonna need a big game as Gary's babies are in peril of missing the playoffs for the first time in their history.

A regulation win won't officially secure a playoff spot but they're walking up the front steps about to knock on the door.

Kick some Ace.

[Old Boys Club]

Huge game

 

[McAsuno]

f*** the knights.

 

[Stoneman89]

If we play like we did against the Preds, I really like our chances. And bonus, Schmitty is on form.

 

[Connor McConnor]

I think we match up pretty well with the style Vegas is playing lately, more run and gun. Should give the boys some room to operate and the PP seems to be back on top of their game with Nuge playing the bumper spot again.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Bettman's b!tch is back. Let's beat em!

 

[Stoneman89]

Boy did William Karlsson ever cash in on his big season in 2017. Making nearly 6 million/year on a long term deal. Since then, has morphed into what he really is - a 15 goal 40 point centre.

 

[Stoneman89]

If the Oilers stick with the 11/7 this time till then end, Archie may have already played his last game with the team. And even if they don't, he may be done just the same.

 

[Old Boys Club]

I'd stick with 11/7, the team just looks better plus it's not like playing Shore or Archibald 8 mins a game makes any positive difference whatsoever. Russell is still serviceable playing #7 minutes.

Nuge is an extremely important part of the team's special teams, it's noticeable every time he goes down to injury.

He's the connecting link between McDrai, otherwise it's just them forcing each other and leading to SHGs against/wasted PPs. He's the 3rd most important part of the PP but in a way the most vital because of the spot he plays.

 

[McDrai]

I hope we beat the LTIR wannabes

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

f*** Vegas I'm going to watch them lose in person AMA

 

[NedPlimpton]

Give this guys the what for.

Its a treat to see that Nuge is getting love again, after the former weak season.

 

[PuckG]

I'm firmly in the #keepnugeforever camp. Our Swiss knife that has stuck with us silently through over 10 years of bull**** management. Bless his heart.

 

[Mr Kot]

How shiny will the gold helmets be?

 

[Soli]

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Oof hope everything turns out good but that’s terrible timing for Vegas.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Wishing him and his family member the best.

At the same time I can't pretend that that isn't incredibly in our favour

He hasn’t been playing that well lately tbh he lost the starter position to “Logan Thompson.”

 

[Garbo Man]

He hasn’t been playing that well lately tbh he lost the starter position to “Logan Thompson.”

Who?

 

[ZJuice]

Who?

Whoever he is, he’s Calgarian and must be punished with an awful GAA or at least Save %.

 

[Rengorlex]

Important game and could be a preview of our playoff series.

Not that I'm worried about missing playoffs, but winning this in regulation gives us 99,8% chance of qualifying. Effectively sealing it.

 

[McDoused]

I'm sure we will beat the knights but will we also beat the refs? Going to be a tough one tomorrow.
