GDT: Pittsburgh Penguins v Edmonton Oilers | 7pm 15/10/13

[Shady Machine]

Great work on the GDT, Shrimper.


Brent Sutterov actually works pretty good.

Except that his name isn't Brent

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

There's so much speaking for a win here that it can only go wrong.

I hope the pens don't take them lightly. Doesn't edmonton always give chicago a lot of trouble?

Edmonton has one win in its last 11 trips to Pittsburgh over a 20-year time frame. It came Jan. 10, 2006.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

So we're going to lose because Edmonton is really bad right now and hasn't won in Pittsburgh for a long time? Great.

Hopefully back at Consol Martin is back doing whatever he was doing before the Florida trip.

Carry us, Sid.

 

[Captain Hook]

Maybe but the Oilers are catching a break with our lineup. We'll be missing Neal, Letang and Bennett. I think the Oilers will be able to hang around a bit in this one but still lose 4-2.

Haha yes, the night of the infamous Therrien tirade.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Sadly this is probably closer to the type of team Bylsma would prefer to have, aside from talent stealing them wins, and is probably best suited to. Remove a lot of the talent and it's Bylsma's happy place.

top 6 player - Crosby - 3rd liner
top 6 player - Malkin - 3rd liner
3rd liner - 3rd liner - 4th liner
4th liner - 4th liner - call up 4th liner

top 4 player - bottom pairing player
top 4 player - badly aging top 4 player
Bortuzzo - promising rookie

It's so close to his ideal.

Let's Go

Random question. Can you tailgate at consol energy center?

 

[Shrimper]

For some reason I always call Sutter Brent in GDT opening posts even though it's Brandon.

 

[AquaticBirdman]

I know these injuries have been a real bummer but I don't think it could've come at a better time considering how easy our schedule to open the season has been. Obviously I'd rather do without them entirely though...

You've had some trouble formulating proper sentences lately so I'm not surprised

It's 'Murica!!! You can tailgate at a funeral if you want!!!!!

From the Oilers board.

Great. So now we know for sure they're due to win one...

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

That was a great write-up Shrimper!

LGP!

"These strangers think my pizza is for them. Help?"

I just remembered that we're slightly lucky that Jokinen isn't out either. Puck to the face in one of the Florida games, the lineup could in fact be more depleted.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Didn't Dupuis nearly take two skates to the face in that game, too?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Definitely in one of the Florida games, not sure if they were the same. Jebus, things could be so much worse.

Crosby also kept getting hit in the head in the preseason.

 

[Zirakzigil]

The Pens will destroy the Oilers tonight, wont be close. Just hoping that Malkin gets some bounces tonight.

It's so true though.

Like you guys in Canada don't tailgate at funerals.........

They have the offensive talent to give the Penguins a scare, but they just seem too dysfunctional for that.

 

[alcanalz]

This kind of has letdown game written on it. Oilers have looked pathetic, and seem ripe for an offensive shellacking by us at home... which probably means that won't happen.
