[OttawaOilers]

Hope Nikitin-Schultz don't burn our eyes with horribleness tonight...

 

[Aerchon]

This team on the road looks completely different than at home.

They continue to play as bad as they did last game we wouldn't beat an AHL team.

Slow, terrible passing and positioning etc...

Hope the Oilers we have seen for most the year show up tonight.

If Schultz has another bad game against another fast team, which I expect, I hope they bring Fayne back up and send Schultz down.

Barring a few games I actually like the Klefbom Fayne pairing. It's a much better blend of skill sets.

 

[BlackDogg]

Hope they show up tonight. I just shut the last game off eventually - no compete at all.

 

[BlackDogg]

Is Pouliot back for sure - never saw him on the Hockeybuzz lineup list?

[McPuritania]

If we want to stay in the playoff picture, we need to win tonight. We can't go on a three game losing streak and hope to stick around. Would be nice to see this team come out with desire, but they are just a listless, uncaring, team on the road.

 

[McPuritania]

Oh yeah, GDT tunes ----^

 

[SometimesY]

Poo Nuge and Ebs! Lets go for 2/4 on this roadie.

 

[rickysusedsht]

Bounce back game for the boys.we win this 4-2 .but still have to listen to how good the flames are doing

 

[frag2]

If Hall doesn't get another Hattrick against Colorado, I'll be disappointed

 

[Dorian2]

Great tune Puritania.

I might watch tonight, hard to say. Kind of busy right now so we'll see.

Go Oil.

 

[slaman]

Go Oil.

How do you guys do that... even if I have plans, I end up staying up until 2-3am watching the recorded game. I think I'm addicted :/

 

[The Head Crusher]

If Hall doesn't get another Hattrick against Colorado, I'll be disappointed

Isn't a hat trick practically guaranteed vs Colorado?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Klinkhammer's injuried again? Pity, so close to having 4 competent lines...

Considering Colorado doesn't have a proper goon (McLeod, but he's more in Gyrba's class), I would rather have Khaira in that spot than Gazdic.

I'm still riding the hope from the winning streak, but considering they're once again without Klefbom, I'm not getting my expectations up too much...

 

[NeverForget06]

Isn't a hat trick practically guaranteed vs Colorado?

Varlamov is red hot right now. 4 straight wins allowing only 4 goals total. Hopefully he reverts to his level of play from the beginning of this season

 

[Replacement*]

GDT's


oldies version;

Start out with some of this;



try a lil of this;



Flying right..;

Hows my driving..;







Some of this;



hopefully not this;

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Varlamov is red hot right now. 4 straight wins allowing only 4 goals total. Hopefully he reverts to his level of play from the beginning of this season

He'll revert next game.

John Mitchell will score en empty netter.

 

[OnTheBrink]

Why the hell does Gazdic keep drawing in? If he's not gonna drop his gloves to try and get this team going or at least lay some big hits he should be in the press box... I'm so sick of watching him attempt to chip it off the boards and out and failing miserably.Rather Khaira take his spot at least he can kinda make a pass.

 

[frag2]

Thats why I said I would be disappointed if he doesn't

 

[Ogurek]

Hopefully, we see a better Oilers team after that terrible game in Chicago. If not, I hope McLellan raises hell and cancels Christmas...

Here's a game day song... Dorothy - Raise Hell

 

[Velocirapture]

Two losses is two losses. Three is a losing streak and I don't want to see us fall back into that.

Win or you'll make me mad, and you wouldn't like me when i'm mad, man!

****ing love the choice, Djerv is awesome!

Agnete is a madwoman!

 

[Gambl0r83*]

Calgary getting spanked right now, looks like that flukey 7 game win streak is coming to a close, and rightfully so

Islanders play in Arizona, historically they've done well in that Arena

If Oilers can outskate Colorado tonight, 3 way tie with Arizona (if they win) Vancouver and Calgary for the last available playoff spot

Nikitin Schultz doesn't look very promising though, i have a feeling we're going to have to score 5+ tonight to win

He is head chef at maison Hall non? If he wasn't babysitting the crown jewel we could waive him.

(just in case)
