Player to Watch

Ben Scrivens is 3-0-0 with 2 shutouts against the Panthers

Notes:
The Oilers are actually a respectable 7-5-1 against the east

If you’re wondering how a team with so many high picks can be so bad, consider this: The only active NHL player picked after the first round by Edmonton (so rounds 2-7) from 2009-2014 is Tobias Rieder

Loving our 4th line the last few games. Really seem to be developing some hood chemistry.

In b4 classic letdown...

That's the best kind of chemistry imo.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Oh right, this is a 7pm start. Thought I was going to miss the third game in a row because of these 10pm starts.

Edmonton is in a weird time zone. Don't know if I've ever seen a game start at 5 pm local time. 6 is usually the earliest. I wish Florida games would start at 7, not 7:30

 

[difcog]

Barkov can't catch a break huh, just when he had it going on

They took at vote around five years ago by fans whether to start home games for that upcoming season at 7:00 or 7:30. If I remember, more than 70% said 7:30 because too many people wouldn't make a 7:00 game during the week after leaving work. South Florida is a huge place with no transportation system, so it makes sense for the answers given.

It's a Sunday. They do earlier times on weekends sometimes.

Weekday games are pretty much always 7:30 here.

i'm acually quite nervous going into this game. boy do we need 2pts tonight!

Definitely feels like a trap.

 

[spacemanatee]

Definitely feels like a trap.

it does but mostly when we feel it's a trap game, it turns out to be exactly just that but sometime we have to break that and the 3 games in a row curse.

i'm having high hope going into this game. it's not like i'm saying that we SHOULD win but rather that i really really really hope we do and that i'd be very happy if we did.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Definitely feels like a trap.

For sure, that's just the level of parity in the league. Can't write it off, but anything less than 2pts in acceptable.

 

[Boothinator]

I hope we can finally beat Scrivens..

 

[Android 16]

Please please please DO NOT lose to the Oilers. I can't handle the embarassment if that happens.

 

[pb1300]

Trap games are normally when you are looking ahead to a bigger game. I dont expect this team to take the Oilers lightly. I like our chances here, and Id like to see some physical play from our boys tonight. Ill definitely be up at 2am to watch this one.

 

[CatscratchFever]

I think 20 wins and true .500 is an important milestone, Let's go Panthers!!!!

Actually I believe the Oil are playing their best hockey of the season. You don't beat the Blackhawks by luck or playing average. We're going to need a solid effort or we'll get embarrassed. We MUST outwork them today.

We already are above .500. What would be even better would be to get at least 48 points before the midway point in the season. 96 seems to be the magic number, and we would be over that, with a game in hand, with a win tonight.
