Koski starts

 

[Jet Walters]

McDavid and Spooner are sick apparently. Sounds like McDavid will play but Spooner might not.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Probably Rattie on that wing, Zykov is non-roster right now.

 

[slaman]

I'm going to construct this slowly... was surprised one didn't already exist for such an important game!

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Stauffer just ran through the lines.

Spooner is sick so if he can't play, Khaira moves over to 4C and PRussel plays wing. If Spooner can play, no changes at all, including D. Hitchcock interview also said Talbot is likely to get the start vs the Blues. Hitch also re-iterated the Oilers have two very good goalies but Koskinen has the hot hand so he gets to carry the ball. The question leading into him saying that was the reporter asking the question said Nurse had told him "Koskinen is a stud in net and the whole team plays with so much more confidence when he's back there". He probably didn't meant to throw Talbot under the bus, but that confirms what we've been speculating...the team has no confidence in Talbot.

This teams always sick lol

No kidding. Get them some stem cell transplants or something to boost their immune systems.

Does this look like a Sick McDavid? haha. Maybe "sick moves", but if he can perform like that while being sick, that's amazing.

[NeverForget06]

McDavid needs more multi-vitamins and hand sanny

 

[Mav3rick07]

Maybe he wasn’t sick two days ago?

Immune system takes a big hit due to over-training. No surprise McDavid is sick so often.

Where's the game day tunes?

Maybe if Chia didnt destroy the forward depth McDavid wouldn't have to play insane minutes, increasing the chances of getting an illness.

 

[Jet Walters]

Our owner was a drug lord kingpin. Why so stingy with the aborted baby stem cells and foreskin cream Mr. Katz?

 

[Giggli G]

Stem cell transplants lol. That shit is a scam you know, there are only like three approved uses for stem cells and it's leukemia etc.

 

[48g90a138pts]

This looks like two slashes to the hands and not even a hint the ref even cares.

grrrrrrr!

 

[GMofOilers]

Such a huge game tonight.

So much parity in the league.

 

[slaman]

Where's the game day tunes?

Posted.... related to "stars" I guess... may be a different "style" than what most of you listen to though

 

[LaGu]

Where's the game day tunes?

Here you go!

Game day tune for the oldies

 

[Paralyzer]

Maybe he wasn’t sick two days ago?

Not from what others were saying last week. McDavid was under the weather last week already. It was just reported today he was sick, but he's still playing through it.

 

[Stoneman89]

Just had a look at Dallas dmen for this game. We should get 40 shots on net with that grouping.

 

[dssource]

Haven't looked at the standings in quite a while so I didn't know that we are chasing Dallas for a wild card spot. Makes this game even more important. Hopefully a little heat in Dallas gets the boys in good spirits and helps with the illnesses. Let's go boys! Need 2 BIG points tonight!
