GDT: Oilers @ SENS, Tonight 7pm TSN5, RDS, SNW

[SENATOR]

If White will play like he played last game this line will make a lot of sense

Stutzle-White-Batherson

But DJ Smith makes his decisions purely based on his imagined defensive capabilities of each line, on the worst defensive team in the last 10 years of NHL. May be he knows I do not, how to defend better. I wonder what DJ smokes.

Fantastic players that come up big in big games .. their ego's don't play the game

lol whatever bro not in mood for more fanboys today

 

[DylanSensFan]

Was hoping Logan Brown would be in.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

No surprise no changes.

White seems to be the guy getting defensive zone starts among the top 9. If that is what's going to happen then switch Brown and Batherson.

 

[Alex1234]

No surprise no changes.

Must have been a pretty big wedding ring C Brown got DJ when he proposed

 

[SensFactor]

I'm saying 4-3 Sens in shootout.

Lines 1-3 are basically interchangeable... but yeah Brown and Tierney will almost certainly be in our top 6 fwds in terms of TOI

 

[2CHAINZ]

If he is going to deploy Tierney and Brown vs McDavid why not put Paul back with them?

 

[BondraTime]

Going to say it’s another ugly defensive game

 

[cudi]

Sounds like Mike Smith starting for the Oilers

edit: Yup

 

[Sens72]

Mike Smith is terrible at handling pucks behind his net yet he does it so much. I like our chances if the Sens use that to their advantage.

 

[HSF]

this the night we turn our season around eh

When players are doing interviews after we win the cup, this is the game they will be talking about.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I think they should put Paul tierney brown back together.

Mike Smith is terrible in general. This is our chance to really capitalize on a weak goalie.

Against Montreal Allen was really stellar for them, and we hit 2-3 posts. We play the same game against Edmonton's D and Smith and we will have a strong statement game. 2 wins in last 3 with what should have been 3 wins in a row.

Oilers have allowed 4 goals or more in 5 of the last 8 games. They've allowed 3 goals or more in 9 of the last 11(!!!) And thats with Koskinen!

No one standing up for you must be new tho

Gotta play him with our goon Nick Paul.

Or White. You see that look of terror in Puljujärvi face the other game!?

 

[TheDebater]

He drew 3 penalties last game against the Habs. Would be stupid for anyone to jump in and take a needless penalty that negates our own powerplay.

Getting picked on is normal for star players, Crosby took a beating in his first couple of seasons and whined non stop about it until he finally realized it was not going to end and he became better for it as opposed to letting it ruin him. Stützle will be the same, he is a tough kid.

Ya I find it annoying people take runs at him and never have to answer for it. I don't care if you take a 5 min major and we lose the game, let a league wide memo be sent out that if you take runs at the kid(s) you will have to answer for it.

What are all the vets for then? The cross check to the head came for 2 seconds left.

 

[Back in Black]

6 hours to g0

McDavids on a mission to pass Crosby for the fastest 500 points. 2 games in a row against the SENS will secure that!!!

Crosby once slashed a guys finger off and didn't get a penalty for it then had the nerve to cry to the ref about a trip like 10 minutes later.

 

[Imnotagoodposter]

1-0 sens in a shootout, stepan with the only shootout goal after 18 rounds

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Chabot with more of a plan than DJ had

This sounds obvious but you do understand that the coach doesn't go into too much detail when talking to the media for a reason right?

I'm not a big fan of DJ's "work harder" talk but I also don't think that that is the heart of what he communicates to the players.

Yeah so he should be giving chabot some shit when he sees him for giving away too much

coming out and basically saying “hope” is bs and she never ever say dumb shit like that again
