SOLI'S SHORTSIDE​

• Assuming Montoya starts the 2nd half of the back-to-back. I have no idea what the lines will look like with the Letestu trade. Ty Rattie probably get in the game? Doubt Pontus makes it. Patrick Maroon is suppose to play today, but I would sit him.
  
• Kinda fitting we play the Ducks again before we sell off the impending UFAs and other assets from the team that took Anaheim to the brink of round 2. Seems like so far away now...
  
• The Ducks were shut out by the Yotes yesterday.

Nice GDT Soli.

I wanna see Khaira muck with Kesler.

 

[McDrai]

I want to see Aberg, but probably not playing I assume lol

 

[VainGretzky]

You'll will get to see how much Rattie loves to fire the puck threw the net with his shot

 

[CycloneSweep]

I'm kind of pumped to see Rattie. I know he isn't much but he is better than most of our wingers at least

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I don't even really hate these guys anymore. Going to a friends house to watch the game and they're all Flame fans, so...

 

[t0nedeff]

I'm kind of pumped to see Rattie. I know he isn't much but he is better than most of our wingers at least

I never really understood why he was never given a chance to prove that he belongs in the Nhl. He's been great in the AHL is a 2nd rounder and has only gotten 35 games its kind of weird.

He has also outplayed every single person down there this year. Including Pulju. And our forward roster has been shit yet they didn't even give him a shot?

And they are probably going to okay Maroon (sit his ass out) over him tonight anyways

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

Maroon 2 goals and assist. Camo another 3 pt night. Tomorrow: Maroon for 1st, 2nd and blue chip. Cammelleri for 2nd and 3rd.

 

[Gord]

Please an oiler loss and points for mcdavid.
Pretty please

 

[McShogun99]

Just sit Maroon. No point in risking an injury and 1 good or bad game isn't going to change his value.

 

[McBeastMode]

Lucic being benched tonight, would be a godsend, TMac.."He threw a good hit last night, albeit it was on Conner, turned over the puck numerous times, couldn't make a pass to save his life, ruined numerous rushes, He has room for improvement. He has earned his spot on the top line."

 

[lakai17]

A minor injury wouldn't be scaring away any gm. They know Maroon is tough. A long term injury is crazy odds.

 

[ZJuice]

Dare to dream

"You can change the lineup?"

-Todd McLellan, probably

 

[nexttothemoon]

Expecting another win tonight.

spOILERS will likely be in full force down the stretch here getting unexpected wins right and left with a roster that's loose and with nothing to gain/lose.

He’s -100000000

Oh great another game where we get to watch Getzlaf, Perry and Kessler verbally abuse the officials without consequence. I really hate those guys.

i like how the la fans went bananas after a game deciding call didnt go exactly their way.

its a long way to the bottom if the refs do turn on them.

 

[t0nedeff]

Mcdavid-JP
Drai-Rattie

is what they should try but we know Camm will get thrown on one of the top lines because reasons really need a 5th round pick right about now anyways.

 

[McAsuno]

Can't wait to see the ducks whining like always while not getting penalized for their crap. f*** Kesler, Perry, Bieksa, and Getzlaf.

 

[La Bamba]

Please an oiler loss and points for mcdavid.
Pretty please

It'll be more satisfying if the Oilers finish the season above .500 and win the lottery for Dahlin

As Oilers fans we do feel their pain, we've been there many times. The goalie interference call seems like it was the right call but can understand the response John Stevens gave after the game. Brown didn't just push Talbot's pad into the net for the goal he legitimately made a play on the puck but the end result was he did make contact with the pad after he touched the puck. So yes it was goalie interference. But looking at the other goalie interference call in the Bruins Leafs game called not interference was baffling to me. There's still no consistency in GI calls, even after the Bettman memo after the McDavid GI call before the all-star break.

I was thinking that they were going to call that a goal last night. So relieved the call went our way for a change.

Meh, I could personally care less about them. We've seen our fair share of getting screwed over by the Californian teams. Seeing their fanbase whine last night was hilarious. Would love to see how they would act if their precious Californian teams went through a 0-18 challenge streak loss like we did.
