GDT: Oilers @ Blue Jackets | Barracuda @ Condors | "The Mellow GDT" | Mar 2 | 11 AM // 8 PM | SN-W

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Chiasson looked a little like he was praising the sun when he scored.

Also every time I have gotten up to go do something they have scored. I like it.

Go get something when the 3rd period starts.

 

[DaGap]

Auston Mathews is the player that made me realize just how old I am. When seeing a clip of Auston and his family, instead of thinking "Wow...his girlfriend is hot" I found myself thinking, "Wow, his Mom is hot!"

There is no coming back from that...

What about his Gf's mom?

 

[CupofOil]

I wish the Oilers would just pick one:

1 Booze for Hughes
Or
2 Solid Playoff Team

This back and forth is playing hell with my psyche.

Honestly, I just want them to play good hockey and create some sort of identity then let the chips fall where they may. They aren't making the playoffs but they need to build something good going into the offseason.

Personally, I'm sick of tanking and watching a team that's mailing it in down the stretch of a lost season.

 

[Del Preston]

Here is the Currie goal. 1:34 of zone time.

 

[BlackDogg]

But people will say Matthews is better because his name is Auston Matthews and the Leafs drafted him and he has more commercials than Leon

But does Matthews get this?

 

[McRpro]

Wow I didn't know there was an afternoon game. Saw the score. Mind blown!

Torts getting fired tomorrow?

 

[ekcut]

Draisaitl hit 80 points and Matthews won't even hit 70 again. Dude can't stay healthy

The thing about Drai, is he still has another level.

He has a "tank mode" (not to be confused with Oiler Management's tank mode) that he seldom utilizes.
He is not soft, but he doesnt always initiate. We saw it a bit in the playoffs, when he cranked it to 11 and imposed his will.

 

[ghostnights]

If they hold on 5 points back with 17 games left

Not impossible

 

[CycloneSweep]

Here is the Currie goal. 1:34 of zone time.

Yamamoto needs to watch Currie play. That's exactly what he needs to learn how to play. Currie is smaller and ends up getting knocked but he bounces back up and uses his lack of size to avoid and get in prime scoring spots. It's how hard work overcomes size.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Here is the Currie goal. 1:34 of zone time.

Wow. Shift of the year for the Oilers.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I get the sense John Shannon is really pulling for the Oilers to be successful. Most Toronto based hockey media hate us but I’ve got lots of time for Shannon.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Where was this shit in Toronto?

 

[CupofOil]

Here is the Currie goal. 1:34 of zone time.

Holy shit, that was an even strength shift? That's the best shift I've ever seen from an Oilers team (I didn't witness the glory years).

 

[rickysusedsht]

Wow I didn't know there was an afternoon game. Saw the score. Mind blown!

Torts getting fired tomorrow?

 

[yukoner88]

Gene should write a book solely on puns

 

[Llamamoto]

I think the gap between Drai and McDavid is smaller than people realise. He could definitely be a top-15 player in the league, maybe even top-10.

 

[PaPaDee]

40 goals between Draisaitl and Reider, not bad.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Wow. Shift of the year for the Oilers.

Nice conversion by Currie.

 

[GodPucker]

Where was this **** in Toronto?

That's the annoying thing. So many points wasted. 3 periods blown, etc.

We would be int he playoffs easy right now.

Have a feeling the boys will pick up each game the closer they get.

 

[CycloneSweep]

The thing about Drai, is he still has another level.

He is not soft, but he doesnt always initiate. We saw it a bit in the playoffs, when he cranked it to 11 and imposed his will.

Draisaitl is the kind of player that is built for playoffs. I think for their entire careers that Draisaitl will be a bigger performer than McDavid, not because he is more skilled but because he can play that physical game and come out on the positive side of it more often. His playoff run and memorial cup appearance in junior showed that. Games slowed down and got physical and he was the MVP even with a team loss

 

[780il]

For all the top 10 picks we've f***ed up, having Drai become by far the best player of his draft with the 3rd pick is a huge win.

 

[A91]

If they hold on 5 points back with 17 games left

Not impossible

We get red hot Ottawa-Hammond style, make the playoffs and upset Calgary in round one. I would never complain again we could suck for 30 more years

 

[Cloned]

Wow. Shift of the year for the Oilers.

It’s cuz of the GDT.

 

[McTedi]

Assuming we win this one....4-1-1 in our last 6. If we can do 4-1-1 in our next 6....could get interesting.

That really has been the issue this year, the Jekyll and Hyde games. I wish they could play this well all of the time or at least show up for every game.

 

[Llamamoto]

For all the top 10 picks we've ****ed up, having Drai become by far the best player of his draft from #3 is a huge win.

Definitely my #1 pick in a redraft.
