GDT: Oilers @ Wings: November 27, 2015 5:30 PM MST (SNETW): Need GDTunes

[Ritchie Valens]

Figured might as well get the ball rolling on the pre-game talk.

Stauffer tweeted these lines from practice in Detroit:



Khaira gets called up:



Talbot gets the start:

Any bets on the bottom 6 putting up no points once again?

 

[necrobot]

Remember the time we had a line 1A and a line 1B?

/sigh

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

Korpikoski-RNH-Purcell

lol

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Good for Khaira.

I want to see Christoffer too, he seems like a guy that would score a couple in his cup of coffee stint.

 

[McDrai]

My goodness, that lineup looks horrid. I remember going into opening night when I was actually pleased with the lineup. How things can change over a couple of months

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Someone gets a hat trick this game.

Detroit feed snarks about how bad the team is.

Ref aided 4-2 loss.

Say goodbye to pouliots offense no one to carry him.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Since this is a game in Detroit, expect there to be many ref-related posts.

 

[SometimesY]

I love it when we get to see young guys from the AHL, but I hate the reason there is an opening. Hope Khaira shines.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

For some stupid reason, I think we pull out a completely unexpected win. 2 goals on the first 5 shots, and get hemmed in our zone... watch them bank like 4 off the post, before we flukily get another one that their goalie flubs.


:/


I know it's not really likely, but I'm sorta hoping the law of averages kicks in somewhere.

More like korpikoski gets a chance doing the physical work on the girlyman line.

 

[PaPaDee]

Edmonton will win this one, before dropping the next two.

 

[TKB21]

Who cares? This team makes me want to punch a puppy.

 

[PaPaDee]

Glad to see that Talbot is getting another chance, hopefully he makes the most of it.

I like Eberle on the top line - let's see if he can get it going.

 

[Dorian2]

Doesn't look like McLellan has much depth to work with now that Yaks is out for a couple of weeks. Who's going to step up? Anybody?

 

[KlefDown]

Mac should stop trying to have 3 scoring lines when we barely have 2.
With McDavid and Yaks out, you should just go front heavy.
Hall - Drai - Eberle
Pou - RNH - Purcell

leave the plugs to 3rd and 4th line with limited icetime/PK

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Glad to see that Talbot is getting another chance, hopefully he makes the most of it.

I like Eberle on the top line - let's see if he can get it going.

I'm excited to see if Eberle can capitalize on Hall and Drais chemistry

 

[oilwave]

How has Yakimov looked in the AHL so far? Wouldn't mind seeing him get a chance.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I hope that Khaira gets a game in, we could use someone hungry to play physical and try to take the next step.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Since this is a game in Detroit, expect there to be many ref-related posts.

That's a given, but we've been jobbed against most teams this year by the refs. Now they're even taking out our players

Cue Bettman conspiracy posts. He's just helping us "win".

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Going out on a limb and saying they will win this game. Because if they don't **** is going to go sideways in a big way. Talbot with a shutout.

 

[Diamondillium]

I'm predicting Talbot pulls out a great game as he'll be looking to show that he can be a starter again.
