Pre-Game Talk: Saturday Hardcore Matinee

[tardigrade81]

Just as long as Mrs. Tardigrade81 doesn't make you have an afternoon "nap" with her, like last game when she made you go to bed.

She’s pregnant and moody. I’ll jump at any chance I can to get sex even if it means not watching the oilers

Did anybody see the athletics goalie confidence rating? Rated the Oilers 4/5 with 5 being Vezina quality goaltending.

Our Confidence/60 is off the charts and our expected Confidence is otherworldly!

Incoming Blues attack... they have the best shooting pct in the NHL so far at 16.98%.

Boys better be ready and on the ball from the get go as this is a good test vs a good finishing team.

Vancouver is 9.55%
Calgary is 9.87%
Buffalo is 14.29% (surprisingly 2nd best in the NHL in that stat)
Carolina is 9.87%

Oilers are 11.85% so far (9th best)


Interesting that all 4 opponents of the Oilers so far are top 10 in high danger shooting pct...

Buffalo 33.33% 3rd
Calgary 30.56% 4th
Carolina 22.86% 8th
Vancouver 22.50% 10th

Which helps to explain the start for the Oilers with their propensity to give up a fair number of high danger chances against them with regularity... hopefully they can lock that down.

Maybe their percentages are high because they played us. Lol

Oh crap, I forgot she is pregnant. When is baby due again? I'm presuming she escaped any long term Covid affects as well?

Oilers favoured on NHL covers. No idea how in a manatee game.

Actually it’s to cater to European viewers. NHL announced this initiative last season. 2 pm start here is prime time evening viewing in Europe.

10 pm Central European Time, I'm jacked

 

[GigaChad]

Yay 11pm start for me

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Yay 11pm start for me

The Oilers playing at 10pm on a saturday, nice.

 

[yukoner88]

I can’t argue with that, watching a game until it messes with your biorhythms is not good.


Grande Prairie Storm don’t have a game to watch?

biorhythms sounds like a term for getting laid

4 seems quite high. A young inexperienced back up and a 30 year old unproven starter.

Look at the ratings around the league. Everyone is rated too high.

[bellagiobob]

Not a fan of afternoon games, but glad that our friends in different time zones can enjoy a prime time game on occasion.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I wonder what our respect/handshakeline is

Apparently not as good as the Leafs.

Oh yes. We are having a girl!

She’s due February 16!

Congrats! My first grandkid is due the 13th of Feb as well!!!

The cow of the sea

Finally get an early game and I’m away at a fastball tourney

 

[Oilhawks]

Not the cow of the C though

Nope, that’s Cass-C

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I think my puppy is broken.

She chews on her cheese bones like this.

Oh yes. We are having a girl!

She’s due February 16!

Congrats!!

Of course, that means this will be in you and your son's future (trust me, with my daughter it's been a part of mine )
