Pre-Game Talk: Nashville again?

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I see a shutout for Saros coming

Is Draisaitl sitting this one out?

If Nashville wants a guaranteed win then they should call up the backup from their AHL affiliate and quickly trade for any ex-Oiler forward or defenceman.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

The Oilers better be extra grumpy after two epic disasters the last two games.

Draisaitl scores infinity tonight vs Nashville.

 

[brentashton]

Puljujarvi will score tonight

Lol. Variations of this have been posted 33 times now this season. It was correct once.

Once.

3 Million Per…goal?

I like the kid, I hope you are right

Sooner or later one has to bounce off him, doesn't it? Maybe not

Take away his salary and nurses and we could afford another mcdavid. Call it 12.25

This game is a set up all the way. Hope the boys don't go in thinking they have Nashville's number.

This weekend hurt. What a way to piss away 3 points with Col and Cal breathing down our necks.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Calgary and Colorado are now only 1 point behind us. This seems like the perfect time to blow it against a team we usually beat.

U would think one could bounce in off him bounce in off him but he dont even stand correctly in front

With how arrogant the team has been against teams considered "lower" competition, wouldnt surprise me

I have a bad feeling about our games this week. Unfortunately I think we are all going to be grumpy going into the Xmas break. Hope I’m wrong.

Feliz Navidad, bud.

 

[fuswald]

Puljujarvi will score tonight

With that tongue should be guaranteed.

 

[Captain Controversy]

NHL schedule maker was pounding back the tequila the night he made the Oilers schedule.

Leon with 17 points.

Campbell is my guess as the starter with 16 goals against.

Bouchard and Nurse with 15 brutal giveaways.

We win by 1.

Feels like a loss today.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

The headline for this game, that their media will push, is that Edmonton won 7 straight against Nashville, dominated them for years

Remember last week, when the headline was Minnesota has won 7 straight against Edmonton, that they have the Oilers number and dominated them for years. Edmonton wins

Alot of fans on social media chalking this up to an automatic win, calling for 'Nashville Mayor' Draisaitl to bank another 5+ pts. But all they are doing is tilting the scales of fortune in favor of the Preds.
Nashville is going to be hungry, desperate and vengeful. Edmonton needs to match that desperation, and then some. Going to be a tight, physical game, low scoring imo

Guess we'll need at least 5 again.

Here's hoping?

Oilers drop out of the top 10 power rankings, not surprisingly. Time to start climbing back up…

Rangers knock Bruins off top spot in Power Rankings; Jets surge

Both New York teams have made early moves to address their needs as the hunt for the playoffs continues and we creep closer to the trade deadline.

That bottom pairing…..

 

[Tarus]

That bottom pairing…..

Hopefully Holloway gets 13 - 15 minutes instead of his usual 7

He was one of the Oiler's better players last game, and looks like the game might be starting to slow down for him

 

[trick91]

I thought the lines looked real good once Mcdavid and Drais were split up during the Ducks game.

I'd rather just have Holloway playing in the AHL where he can get more ice time. Too bad we still have a bunch of injuries.

 

[Duke74]

I'm surprised Woodcroft went back to McDavid and Draisaitl on the same line. I would run something like this in the top 6:

Hyman-McDavid-Yamamoto
RNH-Draisaitl-Foegele

Janmark does nothing in the top 6. Foegele was hot before he got injured, so maybe they want to get him back up to speed before elevating him again. In that case, Holloway or Kostin could play in his spot. I'd even try Derek Ryan there since he seems to generate offence at a decent level in the bottom 6.

 

[BlackDogg]

Another auto loss in the tailspin of destruction

 

[Drivesaitl]

That bottom pairing…..

We're loading up McDrai again when they are shit with own zone responsibility playing together. wtf.

Rook pairing again. lolol.

Please come on down Trotz.
