Night Witch Notes

• The Oilers are 1-4-0 this season in afternoon matchups and still have four remaining, including tomorrow at 1PM vs Chicago in a rare afternoon back to back.​
• Montoya has been activated and is 65-47-22 over his career, splitting parts of his NHL tenure with Arizona, Winnipeg, Florida, Montreal.​
• Connor McDavid has two goals and two assists for four points to lead the way for the Oilers in two games against Dallas this season. Alex Radulov has two goals and three assists for five points against Edmonton.​
• Oilers PK is back on the road! We are 85.1% on the road, 5th best in the league.

Another new beginning...

Good excuse for some day drinking.

Good excuse for some day drinking.

Pretty sure they are legalizing Cannabis for Oiler fans mainly.

 

[Drivesaitl]

The team that can't shoot straight or score goals to save its life faces the team that can't defend. Drama ensues.

Typically Dallas is exactly the tonic for Oilers scoring woes. Don't know about this time though. The Oilers, as always, are unpredictable. I didn't even watch the last game so don't know how the Oilers played.

Is Slepy finally getting out of the doghouse and on Draisaitls line in this game or was he slotting in there last game as well? I don't even know.

Kind of odd lines. But due to Maroon out and us having zero winger depth.

 

[Porkleaker]

Oilers will all be hungover and lose 3-0

 

[NedPlimpton]

We win.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Afternoon games are great.

 

[Burnoutboi]

Man, I know it’s been more than a decade plus since Dallas used to eliminate the Oilers in the first round of the playoffs consistently, but I still hate their guts.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

If we can avoid being scored on with the first shot, move 1 square forward. If we get the first goal of the game move 1 square forward. If we can avoid being scored in the last minute of the 1st period move 1 square forward. If we can score on the PP move 2 squares forward. If we can avoid being scored on the PK move 2 squares forward. If we impose a strong forecheck on the Dallas D move 1 square forward. If we can keep blue line turnovers to zero move 2 squares forward.

Thats 10 squares forward and a lot of IFs but it should be good for a win IF they can do it...

I am just about to wrap up the worst birthday in recent memory, so please please please Oilers, let it finish on a positive note!

 

[Perfect_Drug]

id like us to win now. thx.

 

[nabob]

Undefeated with Montoya as an Oiler, let's keep the streak going!

 

[Porkleaker]

I am just about to wrap up the worst birthday in recent memory, so please please please Oilers, let it finish on a positive note!

It's about to get worse. Happy Birthday!

 

[Supermassive]

It's about to get worse. Happy Birthday!

And don't bother getting out of bed to turn the tv on tomorrow for hockey, either!
Ahahahaha!

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

-> Letestu will constantly flub pucks and turn over possession on the PP
-> Benning will inevitably get blown around wide and make panicked blind passes to the opposition in the D zone all game long
-> Talbot will smash at least one stick over the crossbar
-> Puljujarvi will swear in Finnish after missing an open net opportunity and Todd will send him to timeout
-> McDavid demands a trade to Toronto after the game

 

[BlackDogg]

Letest our patience Toddus

 

[McDrai]

I wonder if they will be dumb enough to not cover Radulov cross crease on the PK

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

I am just about to wrap up the worst birthday in recent memory, so please please please Oilers, let it finish on a positive note!

This gif is guaranteed to make your B Day even worse so...

 

[A91]

Wow this has to be the least comments I've seen in a GDT ever.
This season has taken a toll on alot of us it seems.

 

[duul]

Pitlick with the hat trick.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Hey guys, just got a big gulp coca-cola from 7-eleven. I think we might win today.

 

[rickysusedsht]

This one will be tough hope they can keep the do or die attitude they will have play lights out. Also really hope test tube is not on pp1
