Heads up guys. Oilers take this 4-2 or 5-2 with an ENG.

 

[Nic]

8th game of the season and I already don't give a ****. Someone wake me up when this team isn't a joke.

If you don't care, why are you here?

 

[Dorian2]

I'm just hoping for a win. Should be a good game at least.

I'm surprised they are playing in Rexall place Oilbleeder. I guess I must have missed something.

phew. move onto Ottawa.

Thanks.

 

[McOilbleeder]

I am so confused right now. I don't even remember posting a GDT. I wasn't drinking so I can't be all "dude I got so drunk last night, I actually made a GDT."

Oh god I think I sleep posted again.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

It would honestly be nice if Dubnyk started, because it would determine one of two things.

He can turn his game around

or

He's so bad right now he need to go to OKC for a bit.

 

[Wadewilson]

Yak pots a goal then looks much better....

 

[Mowzie]

February apathy in October. The score will be whatever to whatever-3 for the Islanders.

 

[czar99]

Pretty sure we lose again because our goalies will let us down yet again. Just once this year I'd like to see them steal a game for us.

Steal a game? I just want them to show up for a game then nothing has to be stollen.

I predict the Oilers lose the game and the main board tell all how JT is a tier one first overall and how Hall is second tier.

With that all being said I'm putting all my ****ing vcash on the Oilers.

 

[friction]

One interesting point is that we've been losing to East teams. If we get our act together and can take games from our own division, we'll be in good shape.

Tonight's going to be critical points though, as going 1-4-1 against the East when other teams are winning most of their games will take a few months to come back from.

 

[dustrock]

Was the Pittsburgh game a turnaround for the team?

The 3rd period against the Devils apparently wasn't.

The Oilers should match up fairly well against the Isles I think, but we obviously need a win here.

I would actually start Dubnyk; one way or another, we have to see if he's salvageable.

 

[Mav3rick07]

I've got a good feeling about tonight.

5-2 Oilers . Hall finally has a breakout game, and shows up Tavares.

 

[Soli]

Oh god I think I sleep posted again.

Probably dreaming about me. Again.

If you're making a Soli theme, you should change "Deserted" to "lonely"

Ta-dah! Acronym!

( you don't count the single a's)

Not that you're lonely Soli. Any L word would do...

Am I just digging a bigger hole?

How did I not see that. Erm, how did Oilbleeder not see that?

Hall-Arcobello-Eberle, Perron-RNH-Yakupov, Smyth-Gordon-Hemsky, Jones-Acton-Brown, Smid-Petry, Ference-N. Schultz, Belov-J. Schultz

I actually like these lines.

Just get Eberle on the top PP unit.

 

[Stoneman89]

Historically, the Oilers don't do well on the island. Struggling team coming in, shoddy defence and goaltending. This one has all the makings of a blowout. 6-2 Islanders. How I'd love my head to be wrong and my heart right.

 

[McGlassbangers]

Please, start LaBarbera. With Dubnyk we don't stand even a minimal chance.

 

[Groucho]

The Islanders board has an awesome GDT. Yous guys should go checker out.

I want the Oilers to go back to one unit running a 3 forward 2 Dman PP. Just try it out...

Aren't those the lines from last game? Up front anyway.

 

[Beerfish]

Holy chit, RNH is a league worst -9 in 5 games? My god.

 

[McspOiler]

Oilers win 4-3 dubnyk lets in 3 goals on 12 shots

 

[Mr Forever]

Holy chit, RNH is a league worst -9 in 5 games? My god.

Oh god. Oh man. Oh god oh man oh god oh man.

 

[McDNicks17]

Holy chit, RNH is a league worst -9 in 5 games? My god.

The goalies having a .760 SV% while he's on the ice could have something to do with it.

 

[Rin]

Dubnyk gets the start today - he's ready to go out and battle. FML.

"It's not like I forgot how to play goal... It'll be a couple of small adjustments that will make the difference." - Dubnyk

 

[Slicknitty]

Let's go Oilers!

"He hasn't played as well as we'd hoped. I talked to him this morning and he's ready to go out and battle." - Coach Eakins on Dubnyk

I would agree with this statement.
