GDT: Oilers vs Sharks | 31.01.13 | 8:30PM | SNET-EDM | JAWS 2 |

Well the good news is I don't think there's any pressure on them because obviously the expectation would be that San Jose wins.

I'm setting the over/under for stupidly easy goals the Oilers will allow Sharks players to score from right in front of the net unmarked to.... 3.

Edit: 5 if Khabi is in net.

 

[stratedge]

Well it can't be worse than last time right?

 

[CupofOil]

I think that we'll all be disappointed and see Potter tonight. Krueger's M.O. has been to stick with the lineup that won the previous game so i expect the same although this is the first back to back of the season so hopefully, i'm wrong and Fistric draws in tonight.

I think the Oilers will play well, they always seem to play pretty well in San Jose even in the losses so even though they'll probably lose, i expect an entertaining affair which is much needed after the game last night which set hockey back for years. This will be a big test to see how far the Oilers have come.

 

[Mr Forever]

12-7 San Jose

 

[CornKicker]

My prediction for this game:

Yakupov scores a goal, nods head to teammates, taps gloves, HF explodes with disgust and outrage.

fair assessment, i have heard from numerous legit sources that the team doesnt like yaks cellys cause he high fives to hard and squeezes too tight in hugs. this is a huge issue going forward and i hope the team addresses it.

 

[PaPaDee]

Sharks have to lose eventually, might as well be to us

Hopefully after their lost blow-out win, they try to take another win against us for granted.

 

[Chooch]

I feel sorry for Habby in this one.

 

[Draiskull]

revenge time ...

The Oilers should be motivated tonight... Not sure if Khabi is getting the start..

 

[Everlasting]

Woah! The game starts 04:30 CET, awesome! Getting up around that time is not that bad, becuse i wills till get a lot of sleep. Too bad that Sharks first line will **** oilers tho , but now is not the time to be negative, this is a good game time

 

[stratedge]

We need our defensively strong D-men in tonight, it's San Jose for crying out loud. I am a big Krueger fan but if he doesn't swap out an offensive guy like Potter for a guy who's strong in front of his own net like Fistric, then I don't know what is going on. Let the forwards provide the offense, we need to lock down the front of the net against a very big Sharks top 6.

Fistric in is an absolute no brainer. Not putting him into the line up would be Krueger's worst decision thus far as a coach.

 

[dustrock]

5-4 Sharks.

Fistric seems like a no-brainer for this game.

I hope RNH gets some confidence or whatever he needs to get going.

 

[ales83fan]

9-0 sharks, Marleau with 6. Thornton with 7 points, and some goals from Murray and Vlasic.

Gomez might light us up too.... obviously.

We maybe get 1 shot on net.

Anyone remember this beauty?



There's also another one I remember where Hemsky had the only shot of the period, and it was a snipe on nabokov. Pretty sure it was a wrist shot.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

5-3 Oil

 

[Turrican*]

A few things need to happen for success.

- Corey Potter must not step out on the ice.
- Make short passes, long passes are causing a trillion turnovers
- Organized 3rd period, they need to stop pretending the game is over after the 2nd

 

[Johnny McBravo]

Hall and Yak would be insane. It looks like they have some chemistry already.

 

[Matt Ryan]

For the love of god, play defense this game.

 

[Groucho]

Please somebody explain to Yaks he's allowed to shoot the puck from prime scoring areas, ie: the slot. Maybe Bulin can, in Russian.
I noticed last night he had a chance to do so and opted to pass to 89 instead.
Not all of your goals have to be rebound baseball swings!

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Sharks 7 Oilers 6

Potter -7 in this game.

Nuge with the hat trick as he finally gets going offensively.

 

[nhlisajoke]

in oooveerrrrrrrrrtimmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee @JackMicheals

 

[McOilers4cup]

12-7 San Jose

one of these predictions will come true , then what are you gonna do

 

[Asher]

Goalie will likely have to steal this one for the Oilers to win. Khabby, anyone?

 

[oilersfan87]

Trap game for the Sharks
3-2 Oilers

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

I will consider a loss within 2 goals a victory. They need to play boring hockey today me thinks.

 

[Pointteen]

In all of my years I was so careful not to be Rick Rolled. Now that the art of the Rick Roll is finally dead... I click and expected an interview.

Damnit!

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

keep it close....

Oilers will be dog-tired from last night and traveling to another time-zone and the Sharks are red-hot

4-1 Sharks
Thornton with 3 assists
Marleau with another goal

Hall with the lone Oiler goal
