How early do doors open?

 

[snipes]

Just win baby.

 

[McDrai]

Oh yuck. Benn and Perry. So this is the new Ducks squad

 

[Porkleaker]

Need Kassian to start this one like the last, except bulldoze Perry, three times harder.

 

[Rusoilers]

2 in morning start. Well thankfully it is Sunday. Go oilers go from Omsk, Russia.

 

[ujju2]

Who in the world are those centres in the top 6? Justin Dowling and Jason Dickinson just sound like generic NPCs...

 

[TheUltimateOiler]

McDavid will change his name to starkiller...
Star wars nerds will get it.

 

[xoczar99ox]

Soooo....we play Saturday afternoons now. Not good enough for prime time I guess.

 

[SwedishFire]

OK I get Nygård and Haas on the same line, so Im satisfied. Archibald continues getting 2nd line duty. Im OK with that.
I hope we have found the 2nd line Kassian.
I can fold my eyes with my hand of that Tippet : just loves Chiasson - this man can kill someone, and get a roosterspot.
Tippet Hates Persson. I dont get it. Kind of feel bad for Persson. Making the best of his chances, but Tippet just has maked his mind.
Suddenly the patience for Granlund is finished. I guess he didnt have chemistry of fitted anywhere. And that without getting a chance like Archibald or Chiasson, Gagner, Khaira on the 2nd line. Surprising...

Gagner is done here. After getting a lots of points and being benched, I dont see anything that can make Gagner stay.

I wonder if Khaira Sheahan Prussel will get one more goal this season. I dont think that. To be honest. Prussell with the best chance.

 

[Sanchez]

I wonder if Oilers asked for more home afternoon weekend games this year? Maybe to try and get more families and/or kids to attend? These afternoon games should not be played at home. We usually come out flat and lose these. I hope I am wrong.

GO OILERS GO!!!

 

[Rusoilers]

Why not play Gagner? Over Patrick Russell at least.

 

[KahunWOW]

Big Drai night incomming

 

[9GWG9]

Keep on rolling boys!

Need to pump Neal’s tires a bit......

 

[Porkleaker]

Big Drai night incomming

That's what I was thinking last night as I was passing out haha.

 

[Louis Cypher]

Is Fedun and Sekera going to score today?

“Lots of points”. Gagner played a pretty terrible game beside banking the puck off the goalie in garbage time and then celebrating like it was his 50th of the season. It’s pretty clear even to his biggest fans that he’s pretty much done as a NHL player at this point in his career. I actually hope he retires after this season and joins the coaching staff in some role as he’s a good locker room guy.

 

[nabob]

Why not play Gagner? Over Patrick Russell at least.

Tippet isn’t a fan of bottom six players who are poor in their own zone and don’t PK.

 

[voxel]

Is Fedun and Sekera going to score today?

or Roope Hintz who Oilers wanted to draft.

Anybody but Corey Perry, okay?

 

[3IR]

I’d have nygard on that second line, but I also like him and haas together, so this forward lineup looks okay to me.

Wonder if we can see nygard haas and nuge all together one game. Not much in terms of physicality, but could drive teams nuts with the forecheck and speed

 

[Kcb12345]

or Roope Hintz who Oilers wanted to draft.

Anybody but Corey Perry, okay?

Hintz is injured and won't be playing

[Pointteen]

I love a game starting at 5pm for me.
Especially on a Saturday off.

 

[ujju2]

McDavid's first NHL goal was also against the Stars.

 

[LTIR]

Huge 4pt game today. DAL is making the playoffs. They are a good team even when Benn isn't going.
A win pulls us away from the pack. A loss pills us back in.
