Pre-Game Talk: Philly @ Edmonton 7:30pm

[Zguy370]

why is manning not in the AHL

Probably cause he's not good enough Nygard will be a tough loss though

 

[Anarchism]

If Mandog does play he will keep things simple and work hard. Give the guy a chance...new season, new attitude.

NEVER play him!

 

[McOvechking]

One loss and all of a sudden that forward roster looks horrendous to my eye.

 

[Porkleaker]

lmao love me some Fallout.

 

[Zenos]

Yup, still not a whole lot of skill in that bottom 6. I guess it's great they're not getting caved but they still need to pot one or two.

The current bottom six has a combined 0 goals on the season, and 5 of 6 players are minuses (Jurco being the only plus player). If that's not getting caved, it's certainly close

Hopefully they can turn that tide tonight! I also wouldn't mind seeing RNH and Neal get more going 5v5.

It's only 7 games into the season, but this will be a good litmus test for the squad.

Hell yeah... Chia's Son back where he belongs in the top-6! He's gonna score tonight - I can feel it. Probably going to lose because the Flyer's are advanced stats darling and probably kill us.

Mandog is still where he belongs - eating popcorn in the PB. Can't wait until Larsson gets healthy so we can waive Mandog's ass.

It's way easier to quietly ignore the way nobody in the bottom 6(tbh bottom 9) is scoring when 29 and 97 are hot.

Alas this looks like another season where if those two don't combine for at least 2 goals this team doesn't win.

 

[I am the Liquor]

I was at the Philly game last night in my Philly jersey. Didn't work.

I'm worried if I put on my Oilers jersey tonight it won't work either.

Clearly the answer is don’t wear a shirt period.

 

[McTrashBoat]

lmao love me some Fallout.

There's the GDT theme

We had 5 good games then a disappointment

Time to turn it back around

 

[McDNicks17]

I am not optimistic about that second line.

RNH and two guys who don't really bring anything outside standing still and scoring.

Hopefully RNH is up to carrying the puck 99% of the time or they're going to get murdered.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Oilers 3, Flyers 2 in OOOOOOOOOVVVERRRRRRTIIIIIIIMMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!

Goal from our bottom 6. PP goal 9 from James The Real Steal Neal. OT goal Drai from McDavid and Klef. Koskinen makes another glove save.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Just give me a rum and nuka cola

 

[Del Preston]

James Neal is now autographing babies.

 

[48g90a138pts]

@boxcar65 Can you confirm?

He can't reply. He's busy....

Stretching

You had me until the end.

James Neal is now autographing babies.

lmao, I bet nobody in Calgary asked him to autograph their baby, just further proof that Edmonton > Calgary and Neal loves it.

I've never actually done a GDT but a Fallout themed one would be a blast, S.P.E.C.I.A.L fit that in somehow along with Deathclaws and how the entire Flames team has become irradiated by Lucic, Talbot and Reider and are just ghouls. Everytime Johnny gets touched he shakes his hand and it just falls off. Automatic triple minor against Kassian!

 

[TheRebuild]

As long as that's his new job on the team (lead "stretch" guy), I'm fine with it. If I see him anywhere near the ice during a game, then.... well quite frankly, I can't be disappointed by the team doing lousy, because they quite literally brought THAT SHIT on themselves.

That's a good idea

RNH is back to thinking about nothing but defense. Its a shame we can't afford to play him on wing

 

[Former Referee 68]

Do not like Neal on the left and Chiasson up on the 2nd line. * Hopefully it works out.

Too bad Nygard is out. Would have liked to see Haas in and Khaira out in some way.

*According to Gregor

Need JJ Against a team like the flyers

 

[Former Referee 68]

why is manning not in the AHL

Because our young guys need to be playing in the AHL.. let manning ride the pine up here

 

[GhostfaceWu]

4 points in 6 games..........sure I guess.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

my dad told me he lept into the air after this goal and broke his hand on the ceiling.

 

[McDNicks17]

Expecting another big game from this guy tonight.
