A win against the Avs is always nice, especially after how cocky their fans were after their miracle season.

I wonder how much the loss of Stastny hurt them?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

We need to get our PP going so that I can win my damn avatar bet that RNH outscores Landeskog by 10 points or more!

RNH 36gp. 11-13-24 -6 3PP points 21ES points
Landeskog 37gp. 7-16-23 -11 9PP points 14ES points

 

[I am the Liquor]

Geez how long are you gonna have to wear a Landeskog avy for?

RNH 36gp. 11-13-24 -6 3PP points 21ES points
Landeskog 37gp. 7-16-23 -11 9PP points 14ES points

I think you're probably a 30/70 underdog right now. Our PP should pick up but Landeskog has been underperforming too

Hendricks-Gordon-Lander

I'd guess you'll keep draisaitl until he plays 39 games then send him down. Saves an rfa year

It's when the team plays 40 games, not the player.

 

[gqmixmaster]

i cant wait to see klinkhammer as an oiler live at rexall, its on my bucket list.

 

[DearOldUncleTony]

Looks like Draisaitl is sitting out. Pretty much set in stone that he's headed back now.

 

[McOvechking]

Looks like Draisaitl is sitting out. Pretty much set in stone that he's headed back now.

Not sure why it's taken so long to make it official? I'm looking forward to seeing him play for Kelowna.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Draisaitl sitting.. Predicted roster...

Hall - RNH - Eberle
Pouliot - Roy - Purcell
Yakupov - Lander - Fraser
Hendricks - Gordon - Klinkhammer/Gazdic

Klefbom - Fayne
Ference - Petry
Nikitin - Schultz

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Finally, a team we should beat.

 

[Arpeggio]

If Draisaitl's sitting he must be getting sent down right after the game. He just came off his best game of the year, no reason to scratch him and then play him the next game.

 

[Patch101]

Maybe for the last hour. I'll be watching Canada instead

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

4-3 shootout win Colarado

We go up 3-0 going into the third.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Actually I think it had more to do with AVS fans saying stuff like, " MacKinnon >Crosby"
"MacKinnon will score over 100 pts.", "Landeskog > Hall" etc. etc.

not just a few threads, but a bombardment of threads ....even threads like " Nate gained some weight this summer!!!!"

If you seriously, in your heart of hearts, believe this sort of delusional stuff is indicative of the Avalanche fanbase at all, then I don't really know what to say to you.

What would you say about the radical fans in the Oilers fandom? We all have those crazies.

Note: I come in peace!!

We call those "positive" fans.

 

[McMozesmadness]

I'm just looking for a good effort tonight.

Three games straight with a good effort would be really nice.

That being said I actually think we'll win tonight.

4-2 Oilers

Yak with one breaking the drought. Nuge, Roy and Hall with the others.

 

[KCC]

Having Purcell and Pouliet now back will help balance the lines up more. Hopefully.

 

[gqmixmaster]

i have a feeling this will be a good effort with embarrassing goaltending
