GDT: Thursday, Nov. 14th, 2019; 8 games on tap

[Frank Drebin]

I'm really starting to think the Oil can do some significant post-season damage

Imagine those 2 with a proper surrounding cast. 2-3 years, look out.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Do goalies score goals?

Goalies keep teams in games. That's all I'm gonna say

 

[Yeah15]

I’m interested in seeing if the goaltending holds up. Have Koskinen and Smith been splitting up the games?

Yes, I don't believe either goalie has started 3 straight. Koskinen is 7-1-1 on the year so he's definitely looked a bit more solid to start the year. Smith has had a lot of big games though and doesn't seem to get quite the run support that Koskinen does, not including tonight of course.

Wonder if Detroit can trade Darren Helm to Colorado for Altitude's lady on-air talent.

I used to hate watching Colorado's feed, but might have to choose it more often. Wow.

She’s from the Detroit Pistons.

 

[McFlyingV]

Goalies keep teams in games. That's all I'm gonna say

They do, but Colorado is a much better team than they're showing tonight. The D normally doesn't give up this many prime chances in the slot.

McDavid is a god among men he’s sooo far ahead of 2nd best

 

[koyvoo]

McDrai no pts yet in the 3rd? Did they stop trying?

 

[S E P H]

You honestly believe this?

It’s sad that you don’t. Those players extinguished the Lames by themselves last playoffs and Oilers are at the same level so why not?

 

[Mass]

Stecher got posterized by Comeau. Jesus.

 

[Coffey]

It’s sad that you don’t. Those players extinguished the Lames by themselves last playoffs and Oilers are at the same level so why not?

Because you are saying 5-6 players can beat a whole team.

I’ll let it fly because you guys beat the Flames.

 

[Spoilers]

Avs injury list would beat the entire Oilers team alone, so not too worried throwing this dud in the trash can.

Lol, that’s cute. The Islanders are a better team than the Avs and the Oilers beat them also. You can only blame so much on injuries. Johnson has been a tire fire tonight and Nathan Mac hasn’t done anything.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

James neal still a -1 in a 6-2 game

Doubt he cares considering they're winning.

 

[koyvoo]

Commentators on the Avs feed sound like they just wanna go home.

 

[Puckstop40]

"I've been hearing a lot about Makar lately, maybe I'll put the Avs-Oilers game on tonight and see if he does some cool ****".

Make sure you base everything off this one game!

 

[Dr Pepper]

Dangit

 

[koyvoo]

Draisaitl, McDavid and Neal have 62.1% of all Oiler goals this season.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

She’s from the Detroit Pistons.

Damn shame they couldn't have shifted her to the Red Wings. Would've had her for the TV games and Carley Johnston for the arena lol.

 

[koyvoo]

Oilers PP coming up. Interesting to see how much time McDrai are given here.

 

[Mez]

Oilers PP coming up. Interesting to see how much time McDrai are given here.

They have been benched...to much hot dogging

 

[Limekiller]

Nice shot there by Hertl. Roofed it while in between 3 Ducks players.

 

[GodPucker]

I seen McDavid maybe twice that last period.

 

[snipes]

I seen McDavid maybe twice that last period.

Tippett barely played him at all in the 3rd.

The Avs were completely beaten down on the scoreboard and physically smacked around by Kassian and company. No need to run it up more.

 

[Sempiternal]

McDavvidish Drunkinh games fun. 0ne shot 4 every McJeshus point

 

[SupremeTeam16]

The oilers are night and day from last year in regards to their commitment to team defence and the goalies have made the saves they are supposed to. Mix in two guys who literally cannot be stopped most nights and you’re gonna win some hockey games.

Tippett has only had this group for 20 games and missing one of their best defenders for almost all of it, this team isn’t it’s best version of itself yet.

 

[GodPucker]

The Oilers are much better defensively this year. The guys don't score, but look at the PK. They have the odd brutal game like SJ, but the team is much more committed to D. That is why the goalies have done better.
