Pre-Game Talk: Toilet Seat Pole - Games 71 - 82

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I am sensing a pattern here….

First 10 - Toilet seat up - 7-3-0 - 14 pts
Second 10 - Toilet seat down - 3-7-0 - 6 pts
Third 10 - Toilet seat up - 7-3-0 - 14 pts
Fourth 10 - Toilet seat down - 4-4-2 - 10 pts
Fifth 10 - Toilet seat up - 7-1-2 - 16 pts
Last 10 - Toilet seat down - 4-2-4 - 12 pts
Next 10 - ????????????

I’m going with a grand total of 9 points. If we’re lucky.

Toilet seat remains down with Holland peeing all over it.

What a brutal batch of games. We could very well find ourselves out of a playoff spot by the end of it

 

[Lacaar]

The good news is if this trend continues into the playoffs we get 8 toilet seat up games. Should be good for a couple of series before instant replay of last year.

If Calgary heats up - look out.

I said 13-14. Hopefully Uncle Kenny wakes up from his month long slumber and gives the boys a little help.

 

[Reasonable Oil Fan]

tough group of games.
I think 9 points are possible.
I also hope my prediction is as accurate as my last couple and we end up with a lot more

I think McDavid is going to will this team to wins somehow against some of these top teams.

I’d be happy if we went 2-8 but both victories were 6-0 wins vs Toronto.

They won't. The Flames are a mess. Sutter has 22 games left as coach of that team.

7-3 14 points

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

the toughest stretch of the season IMO

6-4

It wasn't me, but I'll accept bribes in the form of @Bobieque BBQ

 

[Captain Controversy]

With the upcoming schedule, Kenny has to make a trade to help the boys out.

Flames have a pretty tough 10 game stretch as well. Not quite as tough as ours, but still playing a lot of good teams. Each team has 22 games left, if we even go .500 the rest of the way, say something like 9-9-4, the Flames would need to go 12-6-5 to pass us. I'm quite confident we will be better than .500 the rest of the way, so not really worried about the Flames. They are playing like crap.

Saying that, I would be happy with .500 or better over this stretch.

Thankfully Markstrom is broken.

 

[Dynamic]

At this point the "toughness" of the schedule seems to mean diddly squat with the Oilers. Games against teams like yesterday in the Bedard sweepstakes and they come out not ready to play. Bu they have proven they can play up to their competition as well. That is a problem in itself. I'm predicting a 6-4 record.

 

[Kyle McMahon]

The home game against Ottawa seems like the only probable no-show. Can probably give that one an L already. They'll somehow go 2-0-2 against Boston/Toronto to compensate, but end up with 11 points after a disappointing loss in Seattle to close things out. With a dozen games left they'll be clinging to third in the division, still only a couple points out of 1st place, but also one bad week away from WC2. Woody will extol them for just 5 regulation losses in their previous 27, Kenny will still be tire kicking on trade targets.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

That stretch is brutal. Anything above .500 would be a godsend.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

I'm going to guess toilet seat up because they like to do the opposite of what we expect, and Leon and especially Connor seem to have revved into their late season form now.

Really tough competition in these next 10 games. Expected points based on what the teams they are playing give up to their opposition on average is only 9.03 points, and Edmonton has generated against similar opposition at about a 10.8 point clip.

So Edmonton really needs to step up their game in the next 10 if they want to stay in the hunt for home ice.
