GDT: Oilers Rookies vs. U of A Golden Bears | Rexall | 7:00 PM MST | 9.16.15 | Streamed

[AUAIOMRN]

They just released the blues today too (I think).

Edit: Thinking about this, this really is pretty unbelievable. I think the atmosphere tonight will be the most electric Rexall has been since maybe Gagner's 9 point night.

It's still unbelievable that Gagner got 10 points in a game.

 

[Aceboogie]

Not gunna lie if I was going id be rocking the green and gold and cheering for UofA. Alumni and itd be fun

8 points actually.

Is that the record for the Oilers? Gagner's 11 point night surely can't be beat.

Right?! The amount of skill and luck that goes into a 12 point performance is off the charts.

 

[McGoMcD]

What was really amazing was the 15 point night Ganger had.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

I'll be the drunk guy streaking across the ice in the 3rd period and getting hammered into the boards by the ref.

You mean Nurse. He will take you out himself.

I don't think there's any other active player in the league that has had a 13 point game!!!

 

[Ninety7]

Excited to see McDeeeezNUTS !!!!!

 

[Arpeggio]

It was 8 points morons. Duh.

 

[Titsuple]

Correct me if I am wrong but was Gagner shift like 2min long when he got his 14th point?

 

[9GWG9]

Correct me if I am wrong but was Gagner shift like 2min long when he got his 14th point?

It was 2:31 and I think he had 3 of the 15 points on it.....

 

[oilers2k10]

Gagner had like 14 pts in 3 games one time..

 

[McOvechking]

Jeez I still remember back in the late '90s when Gagner was scoring at like 18PPG for the first half of the season.

 

[Oi'll say!]

The McDavid effect, holy moly.

No this is the backlash from the Eakins Effect. All the people are actually showing up because there's an Oilers game and an Edm team is guaranteed to win. Smae thing would happen if the Loch Ness monster was guaranteed to show up.

 

[Soli]

Fascinating. I always wondered where the Canucks got their players from.

That Golden Bears logo has always been so hilariously awesome.

I have always liked their logo / uniforms.

 

[Dorian2]

OK Folks. My wife just got in from work and said they said on 1260 that McDavid wasn't going to play.

Me: "Where did you hear that?"
Her: "1260"
Me: "I was just on HF and there would be a ****ing uproar if that was true"
Her: "Well...they DID say IF he didn't play, so I might be wrong"

She scared the **** out of me.

 

[Soundwave]

Jeez I still remember back in the late '90s when Gagner was scoring at like 18PPG for the first half of the season.

I'll never forget the night Gagner scored his 50th goal in 38 games.

 

[Cawz]

Not new at all. I think it's always been the case. I have a friend who played with the Bears and was a Canucks draft choice - he's over 50 and fighting was prohibited back when he played. I think you're either mistaken or if you fight in university hockey you're automatically tossed, which may have happened. I'm not sure if there is also a suspension.

I don't know if the rules are different for this game given that it's an exhibition game with a non-U team. I'd guess not but I don't really know.

I dunno. I specifically remember a fight with Laraque, and I seem to remember more than one, because Laraque absolutely destroyed them. Maybe the multiple fights was a fabricated memory, but I remember that being the first time I noticed Laraque. But Google brought up nothing, so whatever.

 

[McPuritania]

I can't believe that this game isn't on tv. I don't know why the broadcasting companies hate exhibition, and pre-season games so much.

It was 8 points morons. Duh.

I know right? Who the hell can't get the simple fact of Gagner's 9 point night correct.

 

[duul]

Just over an hour to go. No matter the outcome, this will be a great welcome to Edmonton for Connor.

Honestly I'm just as excited to see Slepyshev on his line. I know Sleppy looked a bit off in Penticton but you can see his shot and size are prevalent. His highlights on Youtube show he has great speed but we didn't see that yet. Maybe when he gets into season form or through training camp he will speed up.

I will keep repeating myself in saying that Nurse is a lock to make our team out of camp. Guy is better than Klefbom and probably on par with Sekera. Different players, but I think he starts the year with us.

Klefbom-Sekera
Nurse-Fayne
Nikitin-Schultz
Ference-Gryba

 

[SometimesY]

Score goals. Hit the bodies. He has played 3 games hasn't he? Draisaitl too?

 

[RebuildTheRebuild]

I know Slepyshev is normally a LW but has Edmonton been playing him on the RW during the Young Stars tourney or is this his first go at it?

Don't let us down, man. Your HF cred depends on it.
