Pre-Game Talk: SJ @ EDM 730pm Feb 6

[3IR]

Will be interesting to see how the team comes out after the last two games being polar opposites.

Could see benson getting to play his first game, not sure about lagesson though.

Also was there a day off today? I haven’t seen any practice lines anywhere?

Oilers radio broadcast stated they spent the night in Arizona and flew back today

 

[BlackDogg]

Up against the best D in the league who just beat the second best D in the league

Makes sense. 4 games in 6 days, an extra day of rest will hopefully do them good.

We win this one going away. Smith gets the net. Benson his first NHL start. Lagesson draws in for Jones. Sit Khaira. Give em hell tomorrow boys!

 

[Captain Controversy]

Oilers win 8-2

 

[Satire]

Hopefully we can bounce back.

 

[McTrashBoat]

I get to attend this and next game

Come on bounceback!

This is a game the Oilers have no excuses not to win. The #1 thorn in their side over the years, Couture, is not even playing. Hertl is out. It's basically a roster of Geriatrics that they will be up against minus the likes of Meier, Labanc, Kane.

I wouldn't get carried away. There are no gimme's in this league. Last night we played a mediocre team missing their starting goalie, their top 2 men and we got shutout. San Jose has some good players and they might really enjoy playing the spoiler now. Just ask the Flames.

Oilers will only lose this game if they don't show up to play like they did last night. As for the Flames, they have been an overachieving team. The amount of RW's along with their goal differential shows that.

you guys will never learn lol lol any fan who thinks any game for the Oilers will be easy is delusional. Who cares who they have out , they can still kick our ass if we don't be a focused hard game. Do you guys ever learn by disrespecting other teams? We are in no position to think we are better than anyone after 2 thirds of a decent season. We have to work our ass off and be focused every game to even have a chance in any game

Some people never learn.

I hope Tippet was waiting for a loss to insert Benson in the lineup.

 

[Coffey]

Sit Khaira.

Forever

 

[oil Leaks]

Just win, please.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

I could see Yamamoto causing serious problems for Burns and Karlsson. Gotta bounce back here and WE. CAN. NOT. UNDER. ESTIMATE. THEM!

And if you actually bothered to read my other post, you would would have seen that i said that if they put forth the effort they did last night, then they won't win. Look, we should be a better team than the Sharks. They are missing their two best players, while we have McDavid and Drasaitl. We are 12 points up on them, with a game in hand, while playing at home. This is a very winnable game compared to Sharks teams of the past. It will still require them to put in an effort though.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Benson. Yes.
Khaira. No.

 

[McXLNC97]

Benson. Yes.
Khaira. No.

Khaira's gotta go....how many opportunities has he been given, and still the same, unintelligent play from him.

 

[Mav3rick07]

I have a good feeling about this game .

5-3 Oilers win.

Sharks score early and we all panic but the good guys take over and win.

I can't watch another play die on his stick.

He doesn't even bring the physicallity. He's 6'4, over 210 lbs. If he's not gonna be scoring, than at least use your body on the forecheck and punish the other teams defenders.

Sam Gagner is more physical than Khaira.
