GDT: VIII | "Afternoon Delight" | Oilers @ Avs | 2.2.13 | 1PM | SNET-W

[mkwong268]

8-2 Oilers

Gagner repeats 8 point game one year after his last 8 point game

This thread is starting to sound like the calgary game, everyone expecting a blowout, it will come down to which team wants it more

Afternoon delight for Oiler fans...certainly not for the poor Avs. Missing 4 of their top 6 players isn't good.

I actually feel sorry for them. Oilers have no excuse to lose this game. If they do, this board will go into Nuclear meltdown.

 

[McClelland]

Have a bad feeling about this one, avs has revenge in mind and coming from a win last game against flames (good for the confidence).

 

[The Big Unit]

I think if we strike early we can deflate the Avs. They're coming off a big win against the Flames and will likely be pumped up to face us again. Another PP goal will likely do wonders for us against Colorado as they'll likely start feeling "here we go again".

Yep, the Oilers aren't some juggernaut that can roll through any team they want. Avs out-shot them 24-6 inthe third period on Monday.

The best part was how the Flames fell apart with like 4 minutes left to play.

hopefully the oiler tradition of stinking up in afternoon games does not happen today

Biggest enemy now is complacency. Last year we put in good efforts against some great teams because we got up for those games. The effort against San Jose didn't surprise me in the least. What will pleasantly surprise me is if we can put forward a similar game against a depleted Avs lineup. This is the same team that outshot us 24-6 in 1 period, and beat a Flames team that we could not.

Yes, we win on paper right now. And that means jack diddly.

8-1 Oilers

8 points for Eberle.

I will one better that, 9-1 Oilers

9 Points for Eberle

I just hope that the AVS don´t use this thread as motivation

Exciting sports day for me today. Favorite hockey team playing and my favorite fighter fighting (Ian McCall). I'm going to predict a 4-1 win for the Oilers and a 30-27 decision for Uncle Creepy.

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

IMO we aren't at the level where we can reliably expect to beat struggling teams just yet.

 

[OILFAN #81]

Have to watch Parenteau and Duchene in our own zone.

Last time we scored 4 PP goals on Colorado. Need to have the PP clicking. Discipline is always a key for the Oilers. No dumb penalties. Lets go Oilers!!!!

I think we win but it might not be as easy a game as some think

Edit: why don't these GDT's get started at midnight anymore

 

[dustrock]

Yeah my biggest fear

 

[Jeff Lebowski]

As long as the Oil don't take this game lightly and bring their "A" game, then they should win. Hopefully they've learned enough lessons over the past few seasons.

Just letting you guys know I've been doing a gdt for the nucks game so no worries about that one. Will be up at midnight on game day.

I have to coach out of town right now so have the pvr set. Hate watching them recorded. I have to stay off my phone and everything and always want to fast forward if it is going badly. So I'm really hoping we score early and often this afternoon!

 

[Paralyzer]

Can someone post a working stream of the game on here? It appears atdhe has no nhl games.

 

[Mr Forever]

10-5 Avs

Yeah, I'm right here too.

Could turn ugly for either team pretty quick.

Because Soli is a lazy slacker.

@EdmontonOilers: Horcoff out, Hordichuk in and Dubnyk starting between the pipes as the #Oilers take to the ice in Denver for pre-game warmup

 

[Everlasting]

Wizwig only have 2 streams for the game, both around 200k -.-

Anyone have a better one?

yep lets blame it on Soli
