GDT: Oilers vs Capitals CHED/SN 1/SNW 8PM

[CupofOil]

I don't really understand why this organization treats this guy like he's Grant Fuhr or Patrick Roy, like some veteran star who's unquestionably the no.1, lol.

Normally if a goalie pitches a 30+ save shut out, they get the next game on merit unless it's a back to back.

Pickard should start.

Because he is the Oilers #1 goalie? I mean, it's pretty simple. The #1 will get the majority of the starts, Stuart Skinner is the Oilers #1 goalie.
With that said, I probably would have given this start to Pickard coming off the shutout and save Skinner for Colorado.

The East is also a huge tirefire with maybe 2 or 3 legitimate threats at best.

The strength is clearly in the west this season, which is why the Oilers really needed to take advantage last year. It can be argued that 6 of the top 7 teams in the NHL are in the west and this isn't including the Kings who are really good.

Hey guys I don't know where to post this but roughly In CAD do you guys know how much it will be to see the Oilers play in round 1? How much for what quality of seats? Thank y'all

You can probably get in the door for around $150-200.

Looks like a movie @tardigrade81 would watch. I bet they do a split in it.

Lmao I own this legit hahahahah. Not even kidding. Have seen it multiple times and Gary Daniel’s does the splits in it twice lol! It’s low budget and great. It’s free on youtube as well

What are we celebrating tonight? Be kind to monkeys day?

All hail TNT in their long term desire to ensure no one in the Eastern Time Zone ever watches McDavid play against the past greats as their career winds down.

Pickard is a lifelong backup who just started 3 games in 8 days.

You go back to your starter here otherwise he has a full week between starts.

and to be a smartass Skinner gets partial credit for that shutout..

My splits are still better than Gary’s, but he’s damn amazing

Gregor just stated that Ekholm is questionable to play tonite due to an illness.

Stecher may play his first game.

 

[bone]

Oh I completely agree. I hope the Sabres pull that off and then win 60 games a year for a decade straight. Those fans deserve it.

I know full well what it's like being stuck trying to root for the leagues longest running joke.

With the added disappointment that they were so damn close to having Draisaitl and McDavid and ended up with Reinhart and Eichel (though both are damn good players, just not McDrai).

Something that's under attack. Good thing to highlight.

Sam Reinhart was their own darn fault though he was drafted #2.

What? Women’s sports have never been more popular.

As they should be. I appreciate the work and dedication they display.

 

[elmeroil]

Yeah. I really think Buffalo fans are quality. I like how our club was viewed in that game as well. They appreciate good hockey and was one of their few sellouts on the season. Good too that they were treated to a very entertaining game. I know how rare that was in mid 90's here.

They should have got an extra 2 points for winning twice!

I can proudly say that I've supported beach volleyball since I hit puberty.

I have a feeling we win big tonight!

Lol. Well it’s been a while since I have been in a physic’s confrontation. I think I can decently hold my own still. Either you would knock me out or vise versa lol. Depends how tough you are I guess lol.

 

[bone]

For sure. But I'd imagine as a fan base there's a collective sigh over that miss (which was the consensus pick at the time and Drai was expected to be 4th).

Im a wet noodle, but im tough on the internet. might work out good.

Capitals don’t scare me very much. This is a game we should definitely win

The original comment probably should have been ignored as this can derail quickly. Let's all just move on before it goes there.

I’m not so tough anymore.

When I was 19 and had my black belt , I didn’t mind fighting to be honest. Now being 36 and having a wife and kids. I’m not so sure I would do well in a physical fight lol. Probably get anxiety and freeze up

But that’s our secret. Don’t tell the rest of the board here. Lol

Dont worry. I definitely will not tell everyone that you can't fight as well anymore and that you will freeze up if confronted. I will keep it a secret.
