[Fistfullofbeer]

Should be an interesting matchup. Hoping that we can keep up with the Oilers who have most of their regulars playing today.

Kraken line up for tonight?

 

[iCanada]

Oilers fan here.

Seattle probably wins. Oilers have a very veteran lineup tonight, throttle probably be at 25% or so.

Just one of those idiosyncrasies; veteran's and bona-fide nhlers usually coast in pre-season. Nothing to gain aside from getting touches, back in the rhythm / timing of things, and game shape. Usually rare a group of nhlers goes all out in exhibition, guys largely playing not to get injured.

Seattle likely goes all out.

I bet 4-2 Seattle.

 

[Dog]

Kraken all the way!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

That looked like a very saveable goal to me.

Was extremely weak, Driedger needs to make those saves

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Anyone else having streaming issues?

Yes. Very weak.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Like your pbp and colour guys. Is this Fitzhugh calling the game rn?

 

[Three On Zero]

Anyone else having streaming issues?

It died

Have an "illegal" stream that's running perfectly.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Have an "illegal" stream that's running perfectly.

Eh. I was just streaming off the NHL website.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yeah. That PP is going to be brutal to play against with McDavid and Draisaitl on it.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I missed the first few minutes of the game. Does anyone have the lines we are playing today? Does not look like we have a lot of regulars.

 

[UseYourHedman]

Have an "illegal" stream that's running perfectly.

The authorities have been notified and are en route.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Well .. this is getting ugly and quick. Can't say I am surprised with the roster we have.

 

[brewski420]

Just like to see them settle down and be competitive the rest of the way.

 

[Three On Zero]

Well .. this is getting ugly and quick. Can't say I am surprised with the roster we have.

It’s your farm team VS. Edmonton’s near season roster. They haven’t been good and look very beatable

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Just like to see them settle down and be competitive the rest of the way.

I think today is more about identifying players who look good and those who don't. We are playing against an Oilers team with most of their regulars and don't have most of our own regulars in.

They're also going at about 25% throttle like the poster above said. All in all means nothing really.

 

[The Marquis]

This is going about as expected. Didn’t have sound on the first period, but from what I could see Dunn definitely stood out in a good way. They had a ton of possession to start but really gave that up after the first goal. Deflated them.

 

[Three On Zero]

They're also going at about 25% throttle like the poster above said. All in all means nothing really.

Eh they look at about 60-75%, but it is more like a pick up shinny game

 

[McFlash97]

Oilers @ 20 % throttle and look like they are playing an AHL team. Nothing to see here. Just escape any injuries.

Puljujarvi looks dam good.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yeah. I am not too upset. I know that the Oilers superstars are not even trying that hard but McDavid and Draisaitl at 50% would still be the best forwards on our full-roster .. ha ha.

 

[Evilsports]

Like it was said, Tippett dressed most of our regulars. I think the players were getting restless for some action. I try not to read anything big into pre-season, especially early pre-season. It's just management and coaches wanting to put prospects into different scenarios to see how they react, for the most part.
