Pre-Game Talk: Zzzzz - We only play 2 games this week

[Cloned]

Way to go NHL schedule makers. Pack a bunch of games in early, then a week with only 2 games. Nice and balanced.

Hopefully we can keep the momentum going against Columbus.

I’d have to drive to Flagstaff to do either. Ain’t gonna happen. It’s a week to get to know your wife…amirite?

Hi

Slightly bigger than a hammer handle.

But still nice. Reminds of when guys like Manson, Buchberger, deBrusk and others bought snomachines and it was a regular outing for them to bang ditches north of Edmonton.

I said bang ditches you dirty minds.

What color snow we talking about here?

 

[29Beast97Mode]

No snow in Vancouver.

And then after the 2 games, it's another TEN days before the next one.

 

[PuckG]

No snow in Vancouver.

No time for snow over there. Only tears. Delicious tears.

Followed by 14 games in 12 days.

I’m there right now visiting the in-laws and it was rain yesterday and gloom today. So, fitting in that sense

No, we didn’t go to last night’s game, but we’re going to their next one. Should be ‘interesting’. If they have a slow start under Tocchet the tears will be torrential (if they aren’t already)

Back to the Oilers. I don’t mind them having a lighter schedule and their break coming up, could be a good thing if they come back refreshed and motivated to continue on the warpath.

The Oilers and long breaks don’t go well together, lol.

I’m worried these guys are gonna forget how to play hockey.

 

[Oilhawks]

We’ll see, it doesn’t have to be the case this time. And even if so, I’d rather it’s around a long winning streak than an alternative, lol. They have the mandated week off or whatever sometime so the is as good a time as any other

And don't forget about the slugs ,lots of slugs

Edmonton oilers Trump Chatgpt version-

The Edmonton Oilers are a fantastic hockey team, let me tell you. They have some of the best players in the league, and they're going to win bigly. The Oilers are gonna be so great, you won't even believe it. The best team, believe me. We're going to make hockey great again, and the Oilers will lead the way.

 

[T-Funk]

Seems like they do every all star break. Start good--crap in December--go on a run--all star break--play like garbage for 2 weeks--go on a run.

Yup, probably best to get the mandated break and all star break done in one shot

No snow here at all for most of the winter until yesterday. Now it looks like winter is about to start in earnest. Bad timing for a break from hockey.

 

[Drivesaitl]

As Jackfish go that things a minnow. Try to hook some walleye or Whitefish. Better eating in winter.

Great temps for ice fishing. Wonder if Kostin would know Mark Messier and family used to fish at same lake. Or that I did.

Fabulous breakouts. The most fantastic breakouts that you will ever see.

The NHL:

"We cannot afford the disruption to our schedules to allow our players to go a play in an international best-on-best tournament for 14 days that all hockey fans worldwide have been craving the last 10 years".

Also the NHL:

"We're going to schedule only 2 games in total over a 16 day period for a team to allow a big enough gap in the schedule to encourage our best players to participate in a meaningless all-star game that no one cares about."

 

[Beerfish]

Oh please do not do this....please please please........ too Jesse Puli like. What are we going to call Kostin the Pike king now?
