Pre-Game Talk: Oilers @ Leafs - HNIC 5PM

[dssource]

In past years we've always played the leafs during our December/Winter slump and we've never played well. I've always wanted to play them at this time of year as we always play well in the ramp up to the playoffs. The first game this year was a perfect example and tonight, if they carry over the play from Thursday, they will easily handle the leafs. I fully expect tonight's result to be the same as last week. No doubt the Oilers win tonight.

GDT is up.

Unless we collapse like the jets, we are a playoff team.

For sure. And, I think in a 7-game series, we can play with anyone as long as average goal tending is there and key players are healthy.

But then Toronto fans tell us that nobody there really thinks Matthews is the 2nd best NHLer....

I suggest a re-read. It’s a slam on AM34

 

[McClelland]

Lets show those pretenders like last game against them.

The first round exit generation, with a clueless fanbase who throws money at them and make them top 5 in Vegas year after year!

Reilly/Gus looks like a solid -5 pair,

7-2 Oilers

Campbell's body language of late reminds me of Tommy Salo's after the Mike Comrie fiasco.

A full lineup really helps as well.
