GDT: XLIV | "Foul" | Oilers vs. Ducks | 4.21.13 | 6:30PM | Starts on SNET-OIL

[Moonlapse Vertigo]

The Incentive? Oilers drafting a strong, two way player with size, grit and tenacity over a purely skilled top talent. In other words, this year Oilers need to draft someone like Landeskog over someone like RNH. At number 8 they could get that Landeskog, at number 2-3 they'd probably get someone like Drouin, great player but we already have about four of those.

I know, I know. I'm just bugging the Canucks fan.

"Hey guyz. Win these two games so we can finish 2nd. That'd be kewl."

Ugh.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

I have tickets that say Saturday, April, 22, 2013. Is this a misprint on all the tickets for Monday's game?

Looks like you got a bad batch of tickets.

I think the tickets we got for mondays game said that as well.

 

[Butane Fan]

This was the the game I was Peckham would draw in alas our Brain trust thinks that us watching Fistric plug away makes the waste of 3rd rounder make sense. Go Oil

Bit of a weird argument considering Landeskog was drafted 2nd overall, not 8th.

Not to mention the guy who probably fits the Oiler's forward depth needs best is Barkov, a top 5 pick candidate.

 

[Mr Forever]

So you don't want to finish 2nd overall because you don't want Drouin, but you want to finish 8th overall to draft Landeskog, who went 2nd overall. Okay, I'm confused.

 

[Gret99zky]

I'm going to the game tonight.... It's sad, I'm not even excited. This is the last game on my ticket pack and I was hoping for a meaningful one. Once again...... **** you Oilers.

Indeed.

I smell tank.

It's the only smell coming out of the Oilers' kitchen for 3 years. This season has been a mirage. The nose knows.

With the change of format, it seems unlikely that any GMs will show up.

Tambi will be there. The draft without Tambi is like the Oscars without Billy Crystal.

So glad we kept Whitney and got nothing, sweet deal! I am very interested in the second line.

Got nothing for Whitney. Or Khabby. Or Jones. Or Fistric. Or Peckham.

sweet, jesus.

 

[flashy]

I smell tank.

What this team? not a chance.

The wool hasn't been pulled over my eyes. I still know who is pulling the strings

 

[Gret99zky]

I won't say I want to see the Oilers lose tonight.

I won't be watching the game. So I won't see anything.

Therefore, I want the Oilers to lose for a better draft pick.

Go ahead, accuse me of not being a true fan.

I am rubber and you are glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.

what I'm sayin is Oilers would be forced to pick someone like Landeskog if they drafted eighth (Lazar or Monahan)..if they drafted top three they probably would just take Best Player Available...unless Barkov is more than a skilled forward, I know not much about him.

Just sayin it's time this off season to draft someone with more intangables.

Obligatory:

What kind of fan hopes his team loses
What don't you just go cheer for the flames
I hear the leafs bandwagon is calling for people
This team needs to instill a winning culture
don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Real fans watch the games.

Most cheer for the team to win.

drouin is the only one who fits that description...the two landeskogs in this draft are likely to go 4-5


hoping we can make it to 4 for barkov.

If its on TV their only tier 2 fans. So that makes them not as real. The ones who cheer for them to win are tier 3 because most of the tier 1 fans boo them off the ice

 

[sepHF]

Anyone know the date for the Draft Lottery?

I wonder if all non playoff GMS will be there or just the normal three..

next Monday

 

[Harley]

This is going to be the last week we get to see a few of these guys in Oilers jerseys.

Go Oilers.

Looking forward to seeing what Lander can offer. His game has progressed quite a bit since last year.

 

[Groucho]

Nice to see Sportsnet has their **** together, as per usual.

 

[flashy]

Calgary winning 3-1 hahahaha. Oh god. They are still going to finish higher than us. I think this is the lowest point of the rebuild.

 

[flashy]

Ah now officially 25th. So close that 26th spot. I can feel it.

 

[GrandLarseny]

What the heck happened in Minnesota? Hilarious. Hoping Lander looks good tonight.

 

[Moonlapse Vertigo]

Is Principe really trying to sell the idea that Nugent-Hopkins' injury is a surprise? Give me a break.
