Pre-Game Talk: Oilers vs Preds

[Coffey]

Played a good road trip. Please don’t ruin it now.

Yea and we aren't playing a godlike team today either.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

We're in serious trouble if we don't win tonight. It's not comforting knowing they are playing at home. We've been terrible at home this year.

 

[Zerotonine]

Must win game. Flames have basically a gimme game tonight

So much for that gimme

[oXo Cube]

Really need this game after dropping the ball against the Flames.

Looking at the standings gives me anxiety.

Straight up. Someone is gonna miss the playoffs by 1 point, if not a couple teams. Or even tie and then lose to the regulation win tie-breaker. It'll be devastating

Which scares me. We play to our opponents level lol.

 

[barry halls]

I’m taking a break from looking at the standings. Seeing Vancouver ahead of us makes me sick, hopefully that changes tonight

 

[dssource]

Big game tonight. Oilers desperately need the W as the preds have 3 games in hand and we need to be above the other teams in our division, not below. Can't let the Kassian stuff be a distraction to us (hopefully it is to the lames). Need to come out energized and ready tonight and play 60 minutes.

 

[Mez]

Sounds like Nuge is out tonight?

lol that didn't quite pan out. the karmic fallout has begun for the fLames.

 

[ElysiumAB]

second half of a back to back half season

Congratulations, you've given me brain cancer.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

I feel like this is a let down spot against a hungry Preds team.

Hoping for the best but expecting to be disappointed.

 

[ElysiumAB]

I didn't realize the team has two games between now and January 29th.

PLEASE... please focus and play with some purpose - big points then all the time in the world for horseback riding and nappers!

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Very tough building for the Oil. How they respond after an emotional game/loss in Calgary will be interesting. Every game is meaningful. Holding my breath hoping for a big W tonight.

He’s expected to play tonight .

Just a maintenance day yesterday, apparently.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Khaira must be really in the doghouse.

 

[oilers68]

when looking at the standings and theres teams that are tied or ahead of us by a few and there playing teams behind us by a few... who do you guys root for?????

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

Khaira must be really in the doghouse

Rightfully so; homeboy is playing with zero intensity during the pivotal stretch. This was my problem with Eberle during his last season and his playoff performance. Some players aren't on board for the rough times and it affects the entire roster. I guarantee that he will end up being a good player for another team, though

It's different when a skilled player plays without intensity, cause they are still skilled. Khaira without intensity is just pure bad.

Regulation win

 

[Rusoilers]

I like the idea of Archibald with McDavid

 

[oilers68]

if there playing against each other would you rather have the team thats ahead of us to get the win and distance the teams behind from the 2 wild card spots?

Rather the team ahead of us win, rather less teams competing for the spots as that increases our chances.
