Pre-Game Talk: There's a game today

[McGoMcD]

Was at the game last night and sitting fairly close to Smith. He looks so done. I positioning was off on so many shots. He used to get by on athletism but I don't think he has that anymore.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

LOL really? I was going to go as well actually. Thank goodness my buddy canceled on me before we bought the tickets.

Ehhh f*** it it's been a while since I've gone. I had the Oil refund me like the last 3 games not counting the ones I sold already. Being a STH this year has been brutal

 

[bone]

I'm going to the game tonight and kinda wish I wasn't

AT least you can have a beer. Last night was my first game live at Rogers, and I couldn't even have a beer.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Really like the first line. Glad Tippett finally gets it. Puljujarvi is such a key....... He does so many things on the ice.

Pretty sure that ain't the line up just what the op wants the lines to be. Tippett ain't smart enough to know when to change lines up.

I’ll put as much effort into watching as they do playing

Yep, hard to care too much about a dead end season.
I don't remember the last time I watched a full game and it actually puts me in a better mood when I'm not watching.

Interesting.

Jeff Gorton says Dominique Ducharme's job is safe for the rest of the season - US Sports

New GM not wasting any f***ing time to show he has a pulse. Meanwhile ours is probably still deciding what he wants for breakfast, while reflecting what he had for breakfast during his time in Detroit.

 

[Tarus]

Chicago is an awful team. I fully expect the Oilers to play down to their level, but solid chance the Oilers still win this pretty easily.

Should be a solid two days of fan/media gushing about whatever players managed to get in some fluke goals against a terrible Chi defense before NYI traps the entire team into ineffectiveness again on friday.

My sympathies friend. I didn't go to any games where you couldn't eat/drink. f*** that

 

[elmeroil]

Any way MAF can stay behind and Chicago can take Smith and or Koskinen on the way out?

I turned the game off after goal #2 last night. You knew they weren't going to come back after that.

PJ hasn’t scored in a month and has been messing up offensive chances like crazy for two months.

 

[Sanchez]

That's the spirit!! I think they won last time we had some clean bounce gif.

We also win when when there was "very bouncy" gifs but we'll leave those for another day lol

He wants to eat for breakfast what Mike Smith eats for breakfast so he can battle through tonight.

Same here. I argued with people on here who were blaming Smith on that goal then turned it off and watched College Basketball and did a few house chores and immediately was in better spirits.

It gets unhealthy when something you're supposed to enjoy consistently puts you in a down mood. Once you learn to tune it out when it starts making you feel sour, the outlook immediately improves. I'll tune in tonight but I won't waste my time for long if it looks early on like it's going to be a typical Oiler night.

Can’t lose.

Last night’s game must have felt like torture.

I'll probably just keep an eye on the scoreboard while I do other things. That whole sequence leading up to the 2-0 was peak Oilers. Overpassing (You're in the slot, Drai!), terrible shot choice, weak backchecking...

 

[Morpheus]

Oilers better win, Hawks bottom 6 and bottom defensive pair looks weak.

Towes injured?

My sympathies friend. I didn't go to any games where you couldn't eat/drink. f*** that

I just stuff myself with food before I go to a game. Sometimes I get something to drink between intermissions just because it's as dry as a desert in that place but I hate spending my hard earned cash on overpriced bad to ok food.

I'll usually grab pizza from a place a few blocks down from Rogers. It's half the price, double the size and tastes way better. Includes a can of pop and it's still cheaper than that Pizza 73 cardboard

 

[Mowzie]

Imagine if Benson/Perlini aren't used today? Imagine seeing that debacle last night and still not getting an opportunity to play.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

He wants to eat for breakfast what Mike Smith eats for breakfast so he can battle through tonight.

Holland will still enter the "Breakfast with Gretzky" contest.
