[Wretched Oil]

Eberle with the game winner....

 

[KlefDown]

pls win
i beg

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Must win. Canucks are only a few points back now.

 

[Spawn]

Oilers are 7-25-3 in Boston in franchsie history. Thank god we won last year in Boston though. Snapped a 15 year drought.

yep--all the happiness this place has will be lost if we fall behind them

 

[oXo Cube]

Oilers are 7-25-3 in Boston in franchsie history.

According to the Bruins GDT they are also on some massive point streak against us.

Currently the longest in the NHL now that the point streak Arizona had against us was broken.

 

[Weitz]

They have till teh World Juniors game starts to show me they are going to put in a solid effort,

If they don't seem like they are putting in an effort, I'll switch to the gold medal game.

Anyone else concerned putting essentially our only offence (McDavid and Draisaitl) on the same line is just asking for them to be shut down and team shut out?

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Come on Oilers, get the first win in 2017..

 

[Gord]

bet my last 450vcash on the oilers.

I forgot about Bergeron until i read Gregor's latest article. Oil fans would be livid with him if he was on our roster.

Oilers fans are upset about Eberle, who has 26 points, but Bruins fans are even more perplexed by Patrice Bergeron's lack of production. He only has seven goals and 12 points. He had 68 points last year. Bergeron simply can't finish. He leads the Bruins in shots with 130, but he can't score, and he hasn't been able to set up many plays. His lack of offence has him a minus player, -1, for the first time in his career since 2006/2007. He is still very good defensively, but when you aren't producing at EV strength, he has eight EV points, it is hard to be a plus player.

The strange part about Bergeron's struggles is he's played the majority of his time with Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak. Marchand leads the Bruins with 31 points, while Pastrnak leads them in goals with 19. Bergeron has played 476 EV minutes, and only 33 of them have been without Marchand.

Eberle with the game winner....

In his own net Laine style

At least that makes sense. Boston at least was rumored to be looking at acquiring him years back

Soooo, at least a 3 point night for him tonight?

Yeahhhhh, except Bergeron is a member of the Triple Gold Club, and a 3 time Selke winner. Effort has never been in doubt for him, so fans are mostly like "what is going on with Bergeron? Is he hurt?"

Whereas Eberle doesn't quite have the same reputation.

 

[Renly Baratheon]

According to the Bruins GDT Backes is out tonight. Good, that guy always elevates his game vs the Oilers.

I agree with what your saying about Backes. Doan is a similar player like that to us as well. But, damn, it seems like every single team in the league brings it against us. Like, when was the last time we had a dominant 4 goal blow out game?

Every single game it feels, is heading into the final 5 minutes within 1 leading or trailing.

we are competitive in a lot of games which is good

 

[McTrashBoat]

we are competitive in a lot of games which is good

2 years ago: get blown out a lot
last year: not blown out often, win less than .500
this year: very rarely get blown out, win more than .500 (fingers crossed)

and then hopefully:
next year: start blowing teams out, win more than .500

BOSTON vs EDMONTON, LIFETIME SERIES
- The Bruins and Oilers are meeting for the 72nd time in their histories with the Bruins having a 45-17-6-3 record and 263-201 scoring
edge in those games.

- The Bruins are 26-6-3-1 in their 36 home games of this lifetime series with a 148-88 scoring advantage in those contests.

- The Bruins have taken points out of their last 16 games vs. the Oilers at 13-0-3, although Edmonton won both games of last season’s series in OT & shootout, with their last regulation loss to the Oilers a 6-1 road setback on Oct. 17, 2000 … They have taken points out of their last 11 vs. the Oilers on home ice at 9-0-1-1 with their last regulation loss to Edmonton in Boston a 6-0 setback on Nov. 7, 1996.

Fun Fact: The 16-game Boston point streak vs. Edmonton is the longest current point streak in a head-to-head series in the NHL …Arizona had held the longest with a 21-0-4 stretch vs. the Oilers until Edmonton took a 3-2 win on Dec. 21 of this season.

There will be a tribute to Milt Schmidt before the game

 

[Pointteen]

Bingo.

Bruins fans here keep complaining about the team. Pastrnak was the only offensive threat for ages.

Here's hoping.

 

[plikestechno]

Gotta win. The pack of dogs is coming up from behind. This team needs to remember how it got to where it is in the standings in the first place.

Also I wish they would shoot Matt Hendricks to the moon.

 

[SometimesY]

go oilers go

I like McDavid when he isn't with Lucic and Eberle. Let's do that.

 

[Gret99zky]

Me: "Very winnable game. Gotta bounce back after that CBJ loss."

Other Me: "They'll lose."
