GDT: XIV | "Hello Darkness My Old Friend" | Oilers vs. Sabres | 11.7.14 | 5:00PM | SNET-W

[Lewy]

Picked up Neuvirth for my pool tonight.

Don't screw this up Edmonton.

Isn't Enroth starting?
Sabres website says Neuvirth. My bad.

 

[Weitz]

Would be the first I've heard of this. Source?

As another poster alluded I heard it on Oilers now.

But I thought I heard as that was the plan tonight, sounds like it was speculation. My mistake.

 

[Gambl0r83*]

Oilers gas out hard, Buffalo the better team
3-2 Oil
Fatsh with a god like perfomance
Yak 2G

 

[Shredator]

McDavid
15GP - 14G 28A 42P

He was held pointless in his last game amd is no longer at 3 points per game.

This is our stanley cup. Lets go Sabers, help the Oilers cause

 

[Xelebes]

2-1 Sabres

Please no. 1-0 Sabres. Sabres must not, I repeat, must not get more than one goal in a game.

As much as I don't want to lose.. A center depth of...

Mcdavid
RNH
Draisaitl

That's Stanley cup worthy in a couple years.

A Hall McDavid Yakupov top line...

No worries. I was listening to some of Stauffer as well and heard what Digger was referring to, but didn't know if there was further lineup updates.

Thanks fellas.

 

[Clock]

I'm not sure if I'm rooting for us or you guys tonight.

A Hall McDavid Yakupov top line...

In a couple of years--isnt that the same thing we said when we looked at the Nuge-Hall-Eberle top line?

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Yep. But this time it's actual center depth not a single line. Won't happen though

 

[kenfury]

5-0 Sabres. Drew Stafford with 3 or 4 pts.

HF Armageddon awaits.

You take that back. We dont want the points. As far as I'm concerned if we only beat the Isles, Blues I'd be fine with it. Oh and the Leafs because F the Leafs.

If it's good with Buffalo, I'd like to take 8-12 players from each line-up and form a NHL team.

Wait, Buffalo has 8 NHL Players? Myers, Georges, Zem-God, Ennis, Moulson, and who?

 

[TheGuyInTheChair]

Can we bring back the infomercial/fail gif GDT's? They're great.

 

[Aerrol]

Time for the great tank-off... CAN THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK DETHRONE THE TANK VETERAN?

 

[Oilers10]

Duno why everyone keeps dreaming of McDavid. Even if we're last its only 20% so basically odds are no matter where we finish we won't get him.

I'd be ecstatic if we could get any of the top 10 guys though. WHy does Tarasenko seem more skilled than any of our 1st overalls?

I swear being an Oiler fan is the hardest type of fan to be.

 

[blupye*]

I was at the game last night in Boston. Tonight I am going to the BU and BC game with Eichel and Hanifan playing. I will give a report later because it sure looks like we will be picking one of them.

Yeah Tarasenko is what Yakupov should be.

 

[TKB21]

Any word on who's starting tonight yet?

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Yeah Tarasenko is what Yakupov should be.

Tarasenko is a much more skilled Eberle

 

[Digger12]

Yeah Tarasenko is what Yakupov should be.

Hopefully Yakupov will reach the level Tarasenko is playing the game at so far in this early season, but it should be noted that Tarasenko is also 2 years older than Yak, though he has near the same level of NHL experience. Also doesn't hurt being on an elite team, with tons of a supporting cast.

 

[Digger12]

Tarasenko is a much more skilled Eberle

That, and I think he has 25-30 pounds on Eberle too.

Yakupov is no where near as skilled. I don't think 2 years is going to change that.

Leave it to the Oilers to pick no.1 three times and only get one really great player.

 

[Savitar]

The battle of last place

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Any word on who's starting tonight yet?

Hopefully halak

 

[McDynasty]

This game will truly determine who is the worst team in the NHL, a literal battle of the midgets.

 

[Digger12]

Yakupov I'm willing to grant might turn out to be a sketchy #1 overall (still was the consensus #1 pick, that's just the way it goes sometimes, sucks for us), but IMO you're making a premature call on RNH. I still think he's going to be a good to very good #1 center, now that he's finally starting to look like he has more of an adult body than a 15 year old CO-OP bag boy.
