GDT: Oilers vs Flame SS. sept 21, 2014

[SometimesY]

Going to the game in Calgary. Pretty bummed about being shafted on the roster. Lame.

Yakupov-Arcobello-Purcell
Pakarinen-Lander-Pinizzotto
Hendricks-Gordon-Joensuu
Moroz-Khaira-Baltisberger

Nikitin-Fayne
Marincin-Simpson
Oesterle-Musil

Those players are the ones I would be watching. Hope Yakupov has a great game.

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

The Oilers away roster has a better defence.

I'm also excited for the Moroz Khaira combo, they have looked very good together

Nikitin-Fayne could be real stalwarts for us this year so hopefully you'll enjoy that. You've also go Fasth, who might be a #1B. Sure, you're not getting as much flash, but you get to see Yakupov in #10 hopefully make some nice moves! Besides, for a preseason split game, I'm sure the tickets were cheap and you'll probably still have a fun time!

 

[Tarus]

At least Ryan Smyth isn't playing centre.

Or Hall setup for failure in a center position by being placed with the aging Smyth and apathetic Hemsky.

I wish they had staggered these games. dum dums

I was excited about Yak until reading about his frustrations about being on that line. It may be a hard one to watch.

this is what is right

No doubt. One at 5, one at 8

 

[YEGJuniorFan]

Tickets are regular price for the game in Edmonton apparently. ****ing Oiler's, you never fail to surprise me.

I've always thought this as well. Why can't one game start in the afternoon? Just switch each city every year for the early game.

No doubt. One at 5, one at 8

Or this. Doubleheader works well.

Been like that for a while, I was blown away when I found out it was regular price to see stinkin' exhibition games.

 

[KlimasLoveChild]

No trade, at least not yet

For those asking, Eberle is off tonite, not playing either game. Not abnormal, lines get mixed a lot in exhibition.

It seems pretty abnormal to me. He is the only forward projected to be in the starting twelve that is sitting. I wouldn't be shocked if he is the 1% that Eakins mentioned the other day. I hope it isn't but this is kind of fishy.

Here is to reigniting the BOA!

Calgary Fan here, wishing you guys the best of luck (don't really mean it though).

You guys are going to do your best to run Gaudreau. Have at her, I mean him. He will either break or he wont, flames fans need to see this. Vancouver prospect game was not a good indicator. Johnny went down after a nasty elbow to the head. Dirty play.

Don't get me wrong though, if you guys can line him up cleanly and make him a bug on a windshield have at it! This is a mans game!

Speaking of men? Calgary has lots of big men itching for action. Fighting was banned in our training camp and guys are itching for a scrap.

Tonight I predict pain. Oilers win on the score card both games, but not the fight cards lol!

I am getting excited, hockey is back, I am also very proud of the oilers with how they handled Nurse. He could of played last year, might of been the best dman on your team. One more year in junior has helped him so much. Guy will be a stud on defence for you. Loved getting Monahan, upset we didn't get Nurse too.

Monahan should of spent another year of junior too, yet he lucked out befriending a thirty plus year old McGrattan. Unlikely friends, but friends none the less. Boys bulked up. Yet is also faster.

I will not post after the games here. Fuel to the fire of meaningless games. Lets hope for good fights, clean hits, and a high scoring game. Will be trying to watch both games at the same time lol! That is so dumb they are being played at the same time!

I really doubt it, Eberle has been the most fit player in camp until this year? really highly doubt it.

Edit:

If Eberle was that 1% you think Eakins starts him on the 1st line with team Gretzky?

I think it's cause they know exactly what they have in Eberle. Top line winger who puts up tons of points every year. Our nhl right wing depth is 3 players deep and they want to see what else we have. I don't see anything weird with it at all.

You guys lucked out with Gazdic being injured. He would fight anyone you got and win the majority of them.

Other thing is, maybe they are putting Chase there to make sure Calagary doesn't come in and Kassian one of our guys without retribution.

Besides, its not like they have an unknown in Eberle, his spot is pretty well assured, might as well give a prospect whop has impressed a solid parting shot and memory, some light to work toward.

Ditto. Seems to me that the away game, being coached by Todd Nelson, is a bit of an OKC tryout.

What did Yakupov say? I hope he's not complaining about pre season line combos.

Oh, Yak hasn't said anything.

If you jump onto the "training camp" thread, you'll see a lot of posts talking about how frustrated Yak looked on that line.

I don't blame him, even if it is pre-season. It's likely his line this season.

I'm not from EDM/CGY, anyone know of any streams?

Oilers website worked for me for all the youngstars, and I'm in Vancouver. Not sure if it's region locked beyond Western Canada or Canada as a whole, or if it'll be region locked now that the preseason has started, but maybe try that first? Sometimes it'll be on youtube channels too?

Question is...is he frustrated with his line mates or himself?

I'm thinking the latter given some of the recent interviews I've seen.

I think Yak needs to just step up.

I dunno, we are at a turning point, we aren't developing anymore, we want to win. If Yak can't handle being put in a sheltered third line role he should go out and dominate to the point where we want in on a second or first line.

He has to beat Eberle and Perron. ****** position for him, but it happens.
