GDT: V | "Hail Mary" | Oilers VS. Canucks | 10.17.14 | 7:30PM | Rexall | SNOL

[McDNicks17]

"I'm going to win that game."One of the things said by Ben Scrivens to Dallas Eakins as they talked about his start tonight vs. Vancouver.

I think that means only allowing 5 goals against.

At this point, that's a win for our goalies.

 

[Moose Coleman]

I really wish we were dressing a real tough guy/goon for this game. The Canucks almost more than any other team run around when you don't have toughness in the lineup and disappear if you do.

Guys like bieksa, burroughs and Kassian will take full advantage if they are not worried about a deterrent.

They wouldn't care if we did.

 

[oobga]

Whatever you do Oilers, don't prevent golden opportunities against at the expense of what you want to do offensively. Don't play like those lame teams that are committed to playing sound defence before they go balls to the wall on offence. We wouldn't want any of that.

(sarcasm based on Scrivens' last post-game interview. If you didn't see it, definitely check it out)

 

[TheGuyInTheChair]

No need to watch..Ben says he's gonna win!

Lol. Scrivens goes on to have the best game of his career (better than that sharks game). Somehow the rest of the team plays so bad that we lose anyways.

 

[T-Funk]

is that true our sellout streak is over?

We didn't sell out a bunch of games last year too, but where are they actually reporting it and not covering it up with homeless people tickets?

 

[McOilbleeder]

You know what, I'm gonna start small. I wanna concede less than 3 goals this game.

3 or less goals conceded, and that's a win.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Anything that draws a comparison between the Oilers and the Dallas Cowboys makes my skin crawl. We need to kill this thread with fire...or a convincing win over the Canucks.

The Dallas Cowboys are actually a competent team that looks like a legitimate contender this season.

The Oilers... a complete ****show and the one of worst managed franchises in sports history.

You're right, the comparison is an embarrassment, even the Raiders have a more promising future than the Oilers and look more competent, let alone the Cowboys.

 

[McClelland]

Dont really know what to think about this game?! Normally a team tighten their defense after big defeats. But this is the Oilers 2014 with a coach who lives in his own bubble!

Had said 3-2 so lost with fasth in goal, but with him out i project 6-2 lost!

 

[dustrock]

Tonight we'll see if the players are behind Eakins or not.

 

[T-Funk]

Tonight we'll see if the players are behind Eakins or not.

The controversy here is that they can get behind his system and lose so he gets fired or forget his system and win so he stays....

 

[Blue And Orange]

Is it bad for me to hope the Oilers get blown out 10-0 just so Eakins gets the boot?

I was going to say the Oilers are a good comparison to Cleveland Browns, except Cleveland looks half decent this year. The Oilers are worse!

 

[ghostnights]

I think we win because every time it's getting really bad we pull out a win and save Eakins behind.

If you have to ask that question then you haven't been watching

Players don't see him as an authorative or credible figure.

I get a very bad feeling about this game from Fans point of view. If it goes out of hand early, I really feel bad for him, I actually worry about his safety

Now that's blowing it out of proportion a little. The fans can't even get a fire Eakins chant going.

 

[5 14 6 1]

If we dont fire Eaking im hoping on the Tavares and Islanders wagon for the rest of the year.

I've always liked the blue and orange in the east, they're my back up as well.

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

GDT effort is inversely proportional to Oilers' effort, so it's a good sign right now.

well...I entertained myself at least....
i made some improvements by adding a Roman Horak update and some Tkachev links.

 

[KlefDown]

NUGE is back

 

[knockoutpanda]

If we can play Marincin-Fayne as a top pairing even strength we should do much better this game.

Hmmm... maybe it's photoshop proficiency of GDT maker is inversely proportional to Oilers' success.

I'm trying to find any positives going in.

That's the most representative photo of Schultz ever.

imo
Marinicin - Fayne
Nikitin - Petry
Schultz - Ference

that D core doest even look that bad with the exception of Ference.

 

[McDrai]

Hoping for a blowout
10-0 Vancouver
All of the fans litter the ice with jerseys
