Thank you Soli.

 

[jeffff]

16 wins in a row is 2nd.....but no team has ever won 16 in a row twice.

Lets go baby!!

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Of all the bizarre things in that image i think the thing that stands out the most is the fries on the table with no plate underneath it.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

He's been a very solid back up.

Let's go Oilers, get back to success.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I mean, these kinds of numbers in limited minutes is worth exploring.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Oilers traded for Howard the Duck? (AI picture in OP)

Is that who Corey Perry is?

Now I see the similarity.

Aha: Corey Perry still longed to be a Duck while with the Lightning



And this, and I don't even know why I'm posting this:

Finally

Now Corey Perry is surreptitiously on a line with Draisaitl, famous duck hunter. What a weird plotline. You can't write stories like this..

We'll see tonight if it quacks like a Duck or hits liquid gold like an Oiler.



Does AI know more than we do.

Your intrepid sleuth will be in the marshes checking this story out to see if theres a duck not quacking like a duck.

 

[oXo Cube]

Oilers win 8-1.

Gudas scores a goal on a play where Perry falls into his own crease and holds Pickard's pads open.

Let’s eat some duck!!!

If that makes sense

 

[Drivesaitl]

Of all the bizarre things in that image i think the thing that stands out the most is the fries on the table with no plate underneath it.

To me it was the white carrots, the tongue fused with chopsticks or whatever the duck that is, and the Duck eating the duck.

Hopefully the latter is symbolic.

 

[KCC]

Tough loss last game in which EDM more than deserved. Just stick to the system. Win this and beat LA tomorrow.

Not the otherworldly fork extending from caveman Drai's mouth? Or maybe an Oiler wearing #80?

Who just throws fries on the table like that?!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I mean, these kinds of numbers in limited minutes is worth exploring.

Id still rather they go after someone like Tanev and run.

Nurse - Tanev
Ekholm - Bouchard
Kulak - Desharnais

I would rather too, but that's not an option right now.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Fair.

This is probably the game to tinker with lineup solutions anyways.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Fair.

This is probably the game to tinker with lineup solutions anyways.

The Ducks are the Ducks, they're still an NHL team, but you know.

If this, Nurse-Desharnais, is something they want to try because of performance and analytics? I think tonight is a great place to "test" this pair to see how they do.

The biggest thing for me, that the Oilers might be trying to determine, is if Sean Walker (or a more offensive pucker mover type) might be feasible as an add for Ceci at the deadline, someone who would swap with Desharnais depending on the situation in the game, but this would only be possible if Desharnais can handle an increased role.

 

[dssource]

The Oilers next winning streak starts tonight.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Oilers win 8-1.

Gudas scores a goal on a play where Perry falls into his own crease and holds Pickard's pads open.

I would make AI images of Radko Gudas but I'm too scared to. The actual is scary enough.

 

[PULSATING]

The Oilers have not won a game by 3 or more goals since Jan 27, 2024; that changes tonight.

 

[OilynutEsquire]

Ive been wanting to see Desharnais be given a shot higher in the lineup for a while. Excited to see how he fares tonight with Nurse. It would be nice if we could finally find an internal answer to a lineup issue.

 

[McBeastMode]

16 wins in a row is 2nd.....but no team has ever won 16 in a row twice.

Lets go baby!!

In the 107 year history of the NHL there have been 1859 different teams. Only 3 of those have ever won 16 games in a row.

 

[bellagiobob]

16 wins in a row is 2nd.....but no team has ever won 16 in a row twice.

Lets go baby!!

Apparently no team has ever had an 82 game schedule as easy as ours though.

I thought they were baby carrots.
