94 Oil Drops
SKINNER(S!)
Last game before November. Prepare yourself!
Oh the Oilers have come to suck alright. Unfortunately not the blood of the opposition. Just suck generally speaking. Especially with McDavid hurt for a long time.
I think my recent hiatus from watching hockey is going to have to continue for a while. Too much crazy going on in life and I can't bother caring as much as I used to. Enjoy tomorrow's game everyone.

The sportsnet article headlined: 'Oilers avoid worst case, McDavid expected to miss 2-3 weeks with an ankle injury'.
honestly thought he would miss 1 or 2 games max. Although its not a season ending injury, it's a bit worse than I originally thought
Could be 10 games without McDavid. Time for Leon to do what he did the year he won the Hart/Ross and Connor got injured; step up his game to the max, lead and win. This could possibly be a situation that bonds them together, especially the new personnel
Can't wait for McDavid to return, but excited to see this team ascend it's play and develop their identity

Dermott in the 2nd pair? good god that's awful

Finding Hemingway
Its Halloween. What are you expecting?
Famous Scoreless Joe Podkolzin now on the top line.
I think I'll hand out candy instead.
Hopefully the Oilers aren't handing out GA again.
At least Pickard in goal.
Love that first line. Zero Goals- Draisaitl - Zero goals. (just posting that to tempt fate it is Nashville after all. ) Who knows maybe the line scores 3 goals.

Good to see Skinner sit on the bench
So what if it's 10 or so games without McDavid. If we can't collectively dig in for just 10 or less games and keep our head above water then we don't deserve to be anywhere near playoffs
Every coaching staff has a “why do they do this dumb f***ing thing” every year, and randomly putting Dermott on the 2nd pair seems to be this staff’s thing this year.
Not to say Stecher has been a world beater, but Dermott has been far below him, and Nurse has played far worse with Dermott. It makes zero sense.

Don’t mind the forwards but why do we keep playing Dermott? Nurse and stecher were fine. Not sure why we keep this carousel going.

They’re just neutering Henrique offensively this season with his linemates.
I would have flipped Nuge and Henrique. Maybe Nuge's effort level will rise when he realizes that he doesn't just get a Top 6 spot no matter how awful he plays.

Adversity has arrived. Let's see what ya got.
This team's depth thins out in a hurry. Surprised Skinner isn't getting any time with Draisaitl but curious to see Line 2. Nuge as a distributing centre between a shooter in Skinner and net front Hyman could be interesting. They are really giving runway to Podkolzen to see if there's a top nine guy there before Kane's return. Fully expect Janmark/Brown to be quality 4th line guys late season.
That defense. Ugg. Though they essentially have deployed Kulak with second pair minutes while sheltering the weak rotating right side journeymen.
Time to break some scoring droughts.

Put that block of ice back in the freezer. I really dislike that singer and her Christmas catalogue.
Poor Leon.
