GDT: Are We Digging In Yet? Oilers vs Canes, 7PM on SNW

[5 14 6 1]

RNH should ride pine

 

[nexttothemoon]

Imma guess these BIG ENERGY starts that fizzle by the late 2nd period and the opposition then takes over and wins games... is going to be a season long theme with the Oilers.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Maybe it’s time to call up Noah PhilP

Can he run a powerplay?

 

[JeffSkinner53]

We have a lead! So there’s that

Maybe the hockey gods are on our side. Hurricanes can't seem to convert.

Staying perfectly in the orange zone

Gene's flow looks legendary

It’s good for your heart health

 

[CycloneSweep]

After 1…6 players with an under 10% xGF. And another 7 under 50.
Best players based on that stat?
Draisaitl and Skinner.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Score more goals

 

[Zguy370]

RNH is cooked. Absolutely cooked.

But But he took a a team friendly discount of $5.2m for what another 6 years just laughable

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Nurse looks even worse moving the puck on his off side. Not sure what prompted this experiment but hopefully it's just temporary.

I hear they’re working on it down there with him

Nuge probably put the same effort into that negotiation. Took the first offer from Holland.

Me yelling from my front step “GET OFF THE DAMN ROAD”

 

[CycloneSweep]

Can he run a powerplay?

I like Strudwicks idea. Split the top unit into 2 units, play both units equal and have them compete for minutes. Get some competition going.
I’d probably go…
Hyman - McDavid - Brown
Skinner - Bouchard

Henrique - Draisaitl - Perry
Nurse - Arvidsson

 

[Drivesaitl]

Board pretty negative. You'd never know we're winning. Skinner actually good in goal that period Hopefully he keeps that up. Canes having trouble cashing empty nets though.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Ekholm is likely better than Nurse on the PP... in fact Stecher is probably even better than Nurse on the PP. Probably Kulak as well with that Kulak-Bomb.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Outside of the goal we have looked pretty awful. Shot count flatters us. Skinner is keeping us in it.

Oh really? Lol after 1 period you think hockey gods are om our side lol make no mistake if we don't play we better with more urgency our lead will be gone in 5 min

Perry and Podkolzin's entire 5 on 5 ice time was probably that one shift where they got put out for a defensive zone faceoff against Carolina's top line for some reason and proceeded to get pummelled for like 2 minutes.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Stauffer looking hungry

 

[Drivesaitl]

The PP was generating a ton of chances I thought. We're having trouble finishing but the movement has been pretty crisp I thought. Canes were shitting bricks when Stall broke his stick.

Outside of the goal we have looked pretty awful. Shot count flatters us. Skinner is keeping us in it.

Something you don't hear every day.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

I dislike John Shannon

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I dislike John Shannon

I do like his shirt and tie though

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

So not a perfect period, but they have the lead and things to build on, go get the next one.
