Pre-Game Talk: Oilers v Panthers Sat 2 pm

[CycloneSweep]

Will we ever face a bad team? Or do we just have to play against the top tier teams?

Half the teams we have played so far are bottom 12 teams right now. Only 4 games we have played are in the top 12.

fitting a square peg into a round hole with those forward lines at this point. Why not try

RNH - McDavid - Hyman
Holloway - Draisaitl - Kostin
Foegele - McLeod - Puljujarvi
Janmark - Shore - Ryan

We already know what JP is or isn't. At least try something new and hope it clicks. And honestly I would send Shore down and call up Malone or Hamblin too.

I feel really bad for Drai with that line lol

Being a good dude > trying really hard (while usually accomplishing nothing) > on-ice results.

The real Stanley Cup was the friends we made along the way.

Must win game. Feel better about our chances because Florida is getting Tkachuk and Ekblad back for this game. If Florida was missing their top players we'd be guaranteed to lose.

I do too but at least he gets a big body to cycle with. And tbh Holloway has shown glimpses of better offensive potential than Pulju.

I don't really think Drai / Hyman work that well off each other.

 

[Vagabond]

I'm not really looking forward to the game to be honest. The way this team has been playing its not at all in our favor. Thankfully Skinner is in net. I really do hope he plays solid tonight. I'd like to see him take the starting role from Campbell for obvious reasons.

I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Lol

 

[Oilhawks]

My expectations? No expectations at all.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Afternoon game after a 7-2 loss where they showed no life.

Should be a scheduled loss

4-2 oilers.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I fully expect a blowout by Florida. This team can never be bothered to get up for afternoon games.

Hate to see PJ on the top line with McDavid. I'd honestly rather see Ryan there, as at least he shows some offensive instincts from time to time.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

He's not even remotely close to the main problem for the Oilers, but I'm so sick of seeing Devin Shore in the lineup. He's somehow squeezed 3 years of being in this lineup and just does absolutely nothing out there.

Shore is the poster boy for the ineffective and unproductive bottom six.

Can I be your friend?

With benefits?

With benefits?

Hell yeah. We can practice Karate

Is that what they call it these days?

That's it

What's your favorite csmpbell moment so far this season?

[McShogun99]

Woody is really determined to prove the top two lines work no matter what- isn’t he? Just go 97-29 and 93-18. Is it really that difficult?

People here always complain about putting McDrai together but it’s what got us to the WCF. They’re guaranteed to outscore whoever they’re up against and RNH-Hyman are pretty good together.

Why would he use a catcher with such loose webbing in the pocket? You could probably stretch that enough to put a ladies softball through it. Judging near the end of the video, it looked like one could. To me, that looks like a very poorly designed catcher for any level of hockey above street hockey.

Campbell needs to ditch Vaughn and switch to another brand.

Nah, those pairings have too much obvious chemistry

I know that with goal nets, when they tightened it, it made pucks bounce out more. If the goalie glove is looser, it probably absorbs pucks better.

I think Campbell was just beaten clean there.

This is really going to be something.

That webbing is really stretched out and loose. Definitely a large enough hole for a puck to fit through.

 

[LTIR]

got hurt in Tampa and sent back. Doesn't make sense at all why he hasn't played good. He just sucks

Yup, waste of a draft pick...should have abstained from making a draft selection.
Suckiest suck that ever sucked.

And...he is small
