Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Oilers: Game 3 of 3

[Stoneman89]

Dermott getting tips today, Archie will give him the lesson tomorrow.

And the lesson will be "don't fight!"

Folks, tomorrow night I eat a lot of a and W, every time I eat it we win. There’s just no way around this, I will have to break my diet for the sake of the team. It’s going to be hard, but I’ll do it.

....and you'll have to start making excuses to dodge out of going to your in-laws' on game days. They lose everytime you say you'll miss the game because you're headed over there.

Tough sacrifice to make but your wife will understand it's also for the sake of the team.

God, I haven’t had onion rings, a teen or poppa burger since 2017. Too much sodium in my life and this unfortunately adds to it. So good though. Have a bite for me please...and thanks for taking one for the team.

Omg...... you poor soul. I will have many bites for you , and holy crap that burger looks simply fantastic. I’m that much more excited for tomorrow now.

Not anymore you're not! They're playing the heathen Flames.

Just tell her you think there's a hole in the roof and do what this guy does until she's gone.

Maybe she can drive there herself and bring you a doggie bag?

Those cows ate grass! Maybe I’ll do the same now.. hmm

Maybe someone can fill me in on why the DRY line will suddenly "work" when they've all been poopoo the last 2 weeks or so.

Drai's got some mysterious injury that's been affecting his play, Yams hasn't been the normal honey badger like we've seen him hounding pucks, and Nuge's been doing his disappearing act.

Don't get me wrong, I like to see this line get it going again but it's not like they can flip a switch and everything's all fine and dandy again.

Or maybe I'm being skeptical and overthinking things.

One word: chemistry.

It may not work, but it kickstarted all three of those players last year (Drai and Nuge were not doing much for a while before that line was put together)

Because three wrongs make a right.

LMAO!!!!! This is brilliant hahahahahahha.

Three rights make a left so your logic is sound...

 

[McBeastMode]

Of course he can.

He's Josh Archibald during hockey games, but he's Detective William LaMontagne Jr. from Criminal Minds on his off-days.

(Apparently his girlfriend doubles as JJ too)

Kinda looks like Gretzky in the bottom picture..

 

[ujju2]

For reference, this is Andersson's hit on Stutzle, which I think is far more dangerous.

Dirty f***ers at it again.

Yams was hard nosed for the puck last year at creating turn overs. Nuge and Drai was there to pounce on the puck for possession and O-zone time. Yams banged up after that hit from behind by Lindholm, he doesn't seem to be the same.

The chemistry's there, but I'm hoping they bring the energy and intensity like they did last year.

 

[Arctic Fox]

I'm gonna be so upset of DRY ends up working and Tippsy waited this long to put them back.

Tippett will give them 20 min and break them up again proudly declaring that it won't work. And if the line works, all 3 will be healthy scratches for the next game.

f***, I'm outed, you bastid!

The app has some really good ones from time to time!!

 

[Captain Controversy]

I hope you guys are ready for the GDT tomorrow. Not only will we have an oilers fanatic in Darth Dolly making an appearance but also the Ultimate Oiler himself.

 

[iCanada]

He can hold his own.

Damn. That's a hell of a fight considering he's down 4" and 25 lbs.
