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

[duul]

First game I'll be able to watch since the opener.

McDavid 5 point night.

Petterson and Boeser look like absolutele trash right now. Oil should win this one

 

[T-Funk]

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

Haven't been in a few years now, but Black Frog Eatery was a good spot.

Go to the Black Frog and have shots with Nemo and be guaranteed a good time.

Smells like a breakout game for them then…

 

[Louis Cypher]

Canucks always worry me, especially on HNC. That being said their defense kind of sucks so if we get equal play from our goalie we should win.

 

[Oilers in NS]

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.

He looked great in Preseason. U never know , he might get some minutes in top 6. It should be noted I picked Yamamoto as well.

 

[BlackDogg]

Kostco starting?

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Can Yamo play in goal?

Koskinen can strap Yamo to his left leg and use him as a pad. Yamo can watch out for that glove side and get his little cabbage patch hands in the gaps that Koskinen leaves open.

 

[Mr Positive]

Kostco starting?

Imo he should. I want to see Skinner soon but let Koskinen have a bounce back game.

But who knows? Is Smith ready perhaps?

 

[94 Oil Drops]

I'll be in a plane so gonna miss this one entirely. Oddly enough I have a layover in Vancouver but will be gone before the game starts.

The complexity of the standing is going to change a lot for us if we lose. The Canucks seem to hang around like a bad smell any time we play them. They always keep the score really tight. Hopefully Demko struggles tonight and we whip their butts! SHOW THEM NO MERCY!

Don’t be 100% sure. A sieve is in net for us

Enjoy the game! I'm taking it in too.

Been awhile for pre-game drinking but here are a couple options: the Library Square Public House is a more chill old school pub which is pretty good: https://www.librarysquarepub.com . ; The Shark Club Sports Pub & Grill likely busy and high energy: Shark Club Sports Bar & Grill - Shark Club Vancouver ; there's a Boston Pizza right at BC Place ... but it's Boston Pizza.

Post game, lots of places in Yaletown and Granville Street which should be rocking with Halloween celebrations and lamenting a Canuckles loss (fingers crossed).

 

[SwedishFire]

Koskinen in net? Bahaha. I hope for a win and a good game from him, but I also love how Tippett has learned nothing.

Its koskinens last year, wich means he have a good possibillity he gets upgraded at deadline.

Breaking down Kailer Yamamoto’s recent play

nice article on Yam and possibly putting Foegele on line 2 instead.

I'm sitll in the 'get him going' category. Keep him on Dry Line, hope he scores and gets rolling a little.

I cannot think of a single trade that we'd win if we trade him away. We are cap poor so we'd have to trade for another top 6 winger making 1.1 million... I don't know many not on an ELC.

This is stupid, it's only are 7th gqme of season yet 2nd vs canucks

The big thing with him is how he can barely even get a shot to the net. It's like he got weaker or can't get to spots to even get a shot on net. He needs to be shooting much more.

I can't figure it out... I'm a fan of him... I think he can be a nice complimentary top 6 player that gets around 40 to 50 points. However... This slump is dragging over 2 seasons now and it definitely isn't a lack of quality linemates.

Sure is…

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Battle of the tenders Koskinen v. Demko is the key match up. Hope the shock and awe offence can get to Demko early.

Hopefully our big net crashing guys like Hyman Foegele and Kassian can get in Demko's grill and mess with him. That might be the key to win tonight.

 

[Snipes45]

Battle of the tenders Koskinen v. Demko is the key match up. Hope the shock and awe offence can get to Demko early.

With our goalies and D zone, we pretty much have to score 4 goals+ a game to win. Maybe 3. That's if Demko doesn't stone us.
