Pre-Game Talk: Time for the Oilers to get their crap back together

[Snipes45]

So according to Moneypuck, the oilers are:

4th: High Danger shots for (Better than those Juggernaut Flames)
7th: Tied with The Jaques Lemaire CGY Flames in least high danger shots allowed.

Not bad

Van is 17th high danger chances for and 26th for least allowed

That is ALL SITUATIONS

5 on 5:

15th: High Danger Shots for (Better than the Juggernaut Flames)
15th: Least High Danger Shots against (Better than the air tight D system Flames)

Van is 30 in high danger chances for and 31st in least chances allowed


ES Save %

CGY - 2nd at 95.38%
EDM - 21st at 91.62%
Van - 15th at 92.71%

Just some random numbers. We better play well against VAN. We *should* be getting a lot of scoring chances.

 

[brentashton]

uh, nevermind...

Serious question, what is the point being made?

 

[McTonyBrar]

You mean Yamamoto

No I mean Perlini.

 

[MoreDifferentS]

How many times have we now played Vancouver in this calendar year? lol

Fourteen. Ten times last season, and four times this month counting tomorrow's game. Nomination for game day music:

 

[McTonyBrar]

If Yamamoto played with McDavid and Benson got his shot with Draisaitl we would win hockey.

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or not. I don’t know if you’re trying to troll me or something.

 

[FlameChampion]

I hope we bury the Canucks tomorrow.

Hopefully we see a contribution from the fourth line.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Anyone with Telus by any chance? I'm trying to PVR the game tomorrow but can't find it on the usual channels of all versions of sportsnet and TSN

Game's listed as being carried by CBC, so I'm guessing that's why.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I hope we bury the Canucks tomorrow.

Hopefully we see a contribution from the fourth line.

Goals from a 4th liner and Nuge would make for a nice night, plus multiple McPoints.

 

[Mr Positive]

I'm not too worried. The Flyers are a great team, and the Oilers outplayed them. The lesson from last game was just to keep doing what they are doing

Cbc i think

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Go back to Benson/Scevior. That fourth line combo has looked bad every game they've played.

 

[Gordian Knot]

Just win baby

 

[ujju2]

Agreed, but if Nuge finishes. with 0 goals and 123 assists (as he's on pace for) that would be fine too

 

[Oilslick941611]

I keep hearing points will come. How many games are we giving him. He has 1 goal in 40 games playing 80% of his time with either McDavid or Draisaitl.

Yammo has been gifted lots of ice time the last 2 seasons with some pretty good players, he might have it, it might be time to start coming to terms with that.

It wasn’t just a moral victory “we outplayed them” it was we outplayed them and lost because we had a piece fabric with holes in it tied between the goalposts in net type game.

True, but the takeaway from that doesnt involve doing anything differently. It seems like Koskinen will just have decent stretches of play and also horrible stretches. There's no real gameplan for a bounce back there. Just play the same way. Maybe Koskinen has a good game. Maybe he doesn't. Either way just play like you did last game

Truth, as far as the rest of team goes that’s the only way of going about it. The skaters can only there part and the goalie has to do his. Just pray the goalie does his part more often than not…

 

[Oilers in NS]

So 4th line is changed to Benson Shore Turris


Thank you. Perlini has been crap

U might know. I pick Perlini in my hockey pool and he immediately shits the bed. Rattie 2.0

 

[Gordian Knot]

Can Yamo play in goal?

 

[gordonhught]

Big game today. Seems like a week since the last game.

 

[gordonhught]

U might know. I pick Perlini in my hockey pool and he immediately shits the bed. Rattie 2.0

At least Rattie got shifts with mcdavid. Perlini just gets to skate around for 8 minutes with Turris.

but I hope Perlini gets some points for your hockey pool.

 

[SniperOnTheWing]

Will the Bison extend the point streak to seven games?

 

[Oilslick941611]

When we play the canucks I still think its 2003 and they are one of best teams in the West. I always get nervous for these games.

 

[poolparty98]

Heading to the game tonight, any recommendations for pubs before game in Vancouver where Oiler fans may gather ??
