C'mon Talbot...time to get your sh!t together!

 

[CornKicker]

spanking the blues would be awesome, you know hitch wants the run the score on them

Oilers ultimate slump busters, Talbot starts and it's an early game.

Prediction: I forget game starts at 6 not 7. Come to first period late and it's 1-0 Blues.

Oh great, Talbot?

Gotta love being down 1-0 five minutes or less into the game

 

[BlackDogg]

9-6 Oilers. Oh wait, that's not us....

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Hoping for a win!

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

we score 3 goals!

but Talbot is in...

hmmm

 

[Missing smitty]

I would love to see them to run:

Cagguilla-McDavid-Rattie
Nuge-Draisaitl-Puljujarvi/Chaisson
Reider-Spooner-Chaisson/Puljujarvi
Lucic/Khaira-Brodziak-Kassian/Khaira

They need to split up McDavid and Drai, but McDavid doesn't need Nuge. Drai doesn't necessarily need McDavid, but he someone who can play his kind of game, which I think Nuge can.

St Louis are bottom feeders 6-1 Oil

St Louis are bottom feeders 6-1 Oil

The Oilers like to play down/up to the competition though. I'll say 3-2 Oilers in OT

Koskinen played excellent last game. He also let in the 3rd shot he faced (less than 5 mins in) and had let in 3 of the first 17. You Talbot bashers may just have to face the fact that our team is capable of some pretty shoddy defense from time to time.

I wouldn't say Koskinen "let in the 3rd shot", it was definitely a bad bounce that had zero to do with a shot on net or a rebound. It was 100% a bad break.

Scoring more than a single goal and Talbot allowing less than 4 is a win in my book

Perfect game to start Talbot. Blues are beat up and struggling.

Its going to tale a little time to get Hitchs system down and I think thats the biggest reason why this team is struggling to score.
That said I think the Oilers score 5 tonight.

Hitch running up the score is a 2-1 win.

Kosk also made some huge saves to keep the team in the game which is something Talbot hasnt been able to do for over a calendar year. The first two Dallas goals were flukey. One fanned shot attempt and a broken stick shot attempt that went cross ice right to one of their guys. He had no chance on either of those

5?!?! I will say then that 97 gets 4 points!

But for which team's benefit...Edmonton's or St. Louis'?

(I kid)

Your post makes total sense but my crystal ball says 2 points for McDavid.

Ha...call me crazy but I think Talbot is going to be dialed in tonight. He needs this in a big way.
I am expecting a strong game.

We're on the same vibe...I have a good feeling about Talbot playing well too.

Its a good vibe.

I wonder what you guys think is going to happen if Talbot has another stinker tonight. Like let's say he gives up 5 goals on 20 shots a couple of which should have been stopped and the Oilers lose 5-4. What would you guys do with him?

 

[McDrai]

Yikes...
