Pre-Game Talk: Oilers vs Knights 8 PM MT (CBC, SN)

[Burnoutboi]

Just beat those guys like they owe you money, Oilers. Or, beat them like a red headed step child. Either way, just win.



Please.

 

[FlameChampion]

Bet Talbot will start

 

[Soundwave]

Strip clubs in Vegas are going to have an obscene amount of cash dropping in them tonight, lol. Lets see if the boys actually care about the hockey game.

Wish we had a good defenceman with a wicked shot, Todd could put on the power-play..

Too Bad Nurse has a lousy shot, better put Klefblob out there with 55 for guaranteed success.

 

[rickysusedsht]

yeah some not realizing their depth is powerful. Offense and defence. Subban can play too.

Makes me wonder if its just the perfect mix of players or is the coaching staff just that good

 

[rickysusedsht]

Bet Talbot will start

Betting todd wants to send him into the days off with a win and on a good note. But if up to me i would start Montoya if we are going to get lit up may as well be him. But Montoya has played well and really deserves the start

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

At least I'll get to see one good team live tonight.

 

[harpoon]

Given the results, I think I'll do the same thing as yesterday ...

Not going to watch the game. Good luck guys.

Here's your game plan to get everyone engaged Todd: everyone throws a hit on their first shift or they get bizenched for the entire first period.

Apparently the Oilers are #1 in hits this year. The NHL appears to be evolving slowly away from the heyday of 2006-2011, where big, physical Pacific-style hockey pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot. Great to see the franchise remain perpetually 10-20 years behind the curve.

Larsson 6th in the league in hits. Grit. Truculence. Worth.

I honestly can't remember any big hits the Oilers have administered this year whereas last year we used to crush teams.

 

[Tyrolean]

Too little too late win or lose. Hope they have a good game and play with some heart and intelligence.

 

[soothsayer]

Oilers are going to win this game and McDavid is going to have the best game of his career so far. That's my prediction.

Having a lot of hits generally means the other team has the puck. Unfortunately.

And Letestu will be on the powerplay..

 

[GMofOilers]

Go Pats!!!

 

[BleedOil]

So many oiler fans in Vegas! Threw down good money for oil win tonight. Let’s go boys!!!

 

[Frank the Tank]

Vegas has great depth, and no one player that can match McDavid. It's makes for an interesting match-up. I hope Gallant doesn't game plan for McDavid again.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Having a lot of hits generally means the other team has the puck. Unfortunately.

But see the oddity of our team is that we're among the league leaders in possession.

Somehow we hit a lot and also have possession.

We're basically a statistical anomaly that's not correcting itself. We've broke the system. We're a glitch in the matrix.

 

[GMofOilers]

Talbot starting tonight ugh

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Talbot starting tonight ugh

Game hasn't even started.

Flames the goalie.

Yup.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Too Bad Nurse has a lousy shot, better put Klefblob out there with 55 for guaranteed success.

We get it man.

 

[Porkleaker]

Talbot starting tonight ugh

1st shot against = goal and game over

 

[Digger12]

Having a lot of hits generally means the other team has the puck. Unfortunately.

Which doesn't make sense, since the Oilers are the top team for possession metrics, and one of the top teams for shots on goal. The other team hasn't had the puck enough to explain away the high hit count for that reason.
