Oilers lost last night.
We need to rebound quickly
Calgary blows chunks.

Bear is playing well
McDrai getting all the points
Bottom six still sucks

 

[Dashh]

In for lots of cannons.

They should really put nuge and drai together to get nuge doing something. Mcdavid can pull along whatever scrubs you put with him.

This is not a proper Haiku. 5-7-5. Follow the pattern.

I know Manning is playing very limited minutes, but he does have a positive Corsi and Fenwick. I still expect him to come out any game now.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

"Why yes, I do like to win duels instantly. How can you tell"?

 

[FlameChampion]

Knowing the way this team is going. Bottom 6 will probably score 5 goals and then not score for another 10 games.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Smith needs goal support
If the Oilers want to win
Who am I kidding

 

[bone]

Not a Haiku, man
This is not 5-7-5
Follow the pattern.

Corrected

 

[bone]

Connor McDavid
Leon Draisaitl, that's it
There is nothing else.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Better special teams
Too many passes to Drai
James Neal scores again

 

[Sanchez]

Yup cannons will be going off a lot tonight.

 

[3IR]

I'm so sick of the D right now.

Persson needs to come back ASAP, and before that happens we need to dress lagesson and either get russell back to the third pairing, or sit him. I would honestly rather manning, benning, or lagesson play with Klef because I can't imagine it being any worse than Russell has been.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Tippett is stubborn
Switch out Brandon Manning for
William Lagesson

 

[McDNicks17]

They'll be bringing cannons while the Oilers bring their watermelon catapults.

It rebounded and hit her in the face.

 

[The Safe Play]

Stop blaming Tippett
The bottom six is garbage
Columbus beatdown

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Sonny Milano - Boone Jenner - Josh Anderson.

This is Columbus 3rd line.

They are going to run wild when playing against our bottom 9 forwards.

 

[9GWG9]

Time to take the rose coloured glasses off boys and girls. Thought points in the bank, same record from this point on gets us in, blah blah blah....

Leave it to the ultimate slump busters to prove us wrong.

 

[BleedOil]

Thank goodness there a game tonight. I need to forget about last nights game. If we play like last night again, this board will be on suicide watch.

just please score the 1st goal for once

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

liking our chances
but the bottom 9 still stinks
save us again Drai

 

[Moregoalspls]

Oil down in the first
Cannons ringing in my ears
Think I need more beer

 

[bone]

It rebounded and hit her in the face.

That's so Oilers!!!

 

[Stoneman89]

Hopefully Tipp just leaves the skill lines together and leaves the junk to fend for itself on the bottom 6. Only chance we have. Although, Chiasson is part of that junk and he's on the 2nd line. I guess somebody has to go there.

 

[LaGu]

Knowing the way this team is going. Bottom 6 will probably score 5 goals and then not score for another 10 games.

I'd be ok with that.
