GDT: Oilers vs Rangers do we even care anymore?

[Jumptheshark]

There is a game tonight--thought about putting time and effort into it--but then I realised putting time and effort into this team is just silly

puck drops at 830 Saturday night--you know where the game is and who is showing it



McDavid

Nuge is back

from a bar in Belfast

I hope they start trying Nuge at wing.

 

[Digger12]

In case anyone cares.

Forwards

Cammalleri-RNH-Aberg
Lucic-McDavid-Draisaitl
Puljujarvi-Strome-Slepyshev
Pakarinen-Khaira-Kassian

Caggiula extra forward

Be interesting to see Nuge and Aberg together. The 3rd lines looks interesting too.

This team has done the unthinkable. They've made me not care.

 

[LaGu]

Lundqvist is with two consevutive 50+ shots against games, both wins. Apparently he is pissed off at the Rangers for going into rebuild.

Lundqvist and Spooner could just ruin Rangers tanking.

Good for them, Tanking is for losers...Creates a bad losing culture. We are a prime example of that.

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

Fun fact: if the Rangers win, they'll pass the Isles in the standings. That would mean the New York-area team that announced in a letter they were doing a rebuild would be ahead of the New York-area team desperately fighting for a playoff spot in hopes they can re-sign their franchise player.

If that happens, Snow is next in line to hop on the GM hot seat- perhaps sparing Chia from scrutiny for a couple weeks.

Can we rename this thread, "Who gives a shit?"

 

[Mez]

Could we possibly dial back on the negativity? If you guys truly dont give a damn then why are you here?

 

[ZJuice]

I care

 

[CupofOil]

So this is the way it's going to be. As long as Nuge is in the lineup, Drai is a winger. f***
Three skilled centers and Puljujarvi still can't get a chance to play with any of them. f***
Another Oilers game. f***

I come for several years

1)its my home
2) we are all masochist at this point in time
3) So when people say "were you here through the dark time" I can say yes and "you werent"
4) Snowed in in Wales not much else to do tonight

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Do I give a damn?

 

[Beerfish]

Could we possibly dial back on the negativity? If you guys truly dont give a damn then why are you here?

Because being negative has ZERO to do with how big of a fan you are. The people that are negtive have been here for 10 years out of which we have had one which has not resembled the Hindenberg.

I suppose they could be better fans by not saying anything and just ignoring the oilers. Bitching fans are as big if not bigger fans than the happy joy joy fans who are happy to pat awful underachievement on the ass year after year.

This team is actually really lucky they have such benevolent fans that stick with the team considering the front office and coaching of the team is a sheer and utter clown show.

I would be infracted

Just Todd things.

We'll know it our hearts that is the real thread title.

Khaira-McDavid-Slepyshev
Lucic-Draisaitl-Puljujarvi
Strome-RNH-Aberg
Whoever

Was that so hard? If they want both Strome and Khaira at center then....

Cammalleri-McDavid-RNH (because why the f*** not?)
Lucic-Draisaitl-Puljujarvi
sort out of the bottom 6

Not continuing to develop Drai at center in what is now a development year, sticking with the Lucic/McDavid combo that hasn't worked in 3 years which should never be seen again in any year, not playing Pulju with one of the highly skilled centers in what is a development year now makes no fn sense.

 

[McDrai]

I'll probably tune in to see how RNH meshes with Aberg. Would prefer Puljujarvi-RNH-Aberg line though

 

[t0nedeff]

why in the f*** is Mclellan still playing Camm over JP it makes absolutely no f***ing sense get this f***ing geezer away from this organization for christ sake.

 

[ZJuice]

Lucic being stapled to McDavid again??
Guy should be ashamed of what he is doing..
