Yeah Oiler fans aren't confident going into tonight, some of them don't even want to win because they want the coach fired

I'm sure we can all relate to what they are going through.
If they weren’t so obnoxious I would actually feel bad for them but I honestly don’t. I remember all the gloating they did at the beginning of the year like that “Hyman has more goals than entire Leafs big 4” thread. They are so petty and have such an inferiority complex when it comes to us.

Babcock looks like he's fallen on some hard times. Recently seen in Burlington using stolen credit cards.

Hopefully the Leafs don't take the Oilers lightly without McDavid in the lineup.
(they have been known to lay plenty of eggs on lessor opponents).

Wow, no Mcdavid, no RNH, no Ryan, and potentially no Barrie
The Oilers are missing a lot tonight

Yes the complex is real. They figured they'd drop 10 mil on a few ex-Leafs in Hyman and Barrie, but apparently the rot runs so deep even that infusion isn't helping

Our Leafs timed their Covid absentees during postponed games better than the Oilers it appears. 
Leafs have held McDavid in check pretty well recently.
Can't imagine the Leafs losing this one.

Regular season results will be slightly tainted due to COVID. Games like the 6-0 win vs Sens and probably tonight don't do much to help this team become more battle tested for the playoffs IMO.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth and take the 2 points and move on, as long as they realize they still have to earn them through effort and commitment.
What is the under/over that Hyman scores in this game?
While most certainly true, we have seen a bit of a difference with this group this season... so far. They seem to be more comfortable in being the better team and playing to that fact. Hockey is so random though that anything could happen, but if I was betting I'd take the favourite in this one. Another good stomp would go a long way to establishing their place in the league standings.
I am not an Oilers fan, but I don't wish Mike Babcock on anyone... if he is the one, 97 will be looking for a way out imo.

We were literally all there this October. But then the boys got hot.
Confirmed out as per Leafs Lunch. Not taking the morning skate. Ritchie back in. Smith starting for the Oilers.
So now it will be 6-0 instead of 6-1 lol.
The oilers are awful no matter how you arrange that lineup. Now, they are Arizona level awful instead of Ottawa level awful.

Same, I just want a win. That one really boring game we played them last year and lost 2-1 keeps me thinking they'll clog up the neutral zone and play for a PP and hopefully a lead, where they can sit back and defend.
If we get a quick one to start it's a blowout, but if it's 0-0 after one it's gonna be on our guys to not do anything stupid and stay within the system
