Pre-Game Talk: Close Call

[Mr Kot]

Probably one of the strangest videos I have seen. Guys with his back turned has his shoulder tapped by a random dude walking by and this causes him to see a swinging gate from a vehicle almost take his head off.

Guardian angels exist

We got the first klingberg interview

We got the first klingberg interview

I like how confident he sounds. I also like how he admits he needs to be better defensively.

Its really hard to tell how the players feel coming off injuries though. Last few years Brown said he felt great but took like 50 games. I remember Holloway saying he felt good and then later said his wrist is all janky. So who knows I guess until we see him.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Also Klingberg wearing 36. Stealing Philip Larsen's number...I guess that's acceptable kiddin

 

[Mr Kot]

 

[BertMcDrai]

Do you think Klingberg is ready to go?

And how is the lineup with McD out?

Drai still with Pod and RV or is Hyman/Skinner moved to his line?

Will be interesting to see...I hope they are practicing PP with McD out.

Whoa. That was close. THAT guy has a guardian angel.

 

[Vagabond]

So.. any updates on the starting lineup tonight with McDavid being suspended and all?

 

[Louis Cypher]

I can kind of relate although i had double hip replacement and not resurfacing. Before getting both my hips done I had to stop playing defense and switch to forward. I couldn't defend at all without the puck. No mobility. Eventually had to quit hockey as the pain got too intense.

After surgery I'm back skating and moving better than I can ever remember and no pain. It's was life changing.

Here's hoping Klinger can return to form! That would be huge.

Looks like he will start playing after this upcoming weekend

“I think 3 games is a bit much for both sides. Obviously we don’t care about having our best players in the league.”

My guess with the lines:

Pods-Drai-Arvy
Hyman-RNH-Kapanen
Janmark-Rico-Brown
Skinner-Philp-Perry

He’s a beauty.

Keep speaking the truth Leon.

“I think 3 games is a bit much for both sides. Obviously we don’t care about having our best players in the league.”

Further to this - for a league clinically obsessed with TV ratings, the need to send a "f*** you" to the Oilers and McDavid appears to supersede featuring him in a game that's in the afternoon on the East coast and in prime time in Europe.

Bet the rights holders are thrilled that they decided they needed to prove some sort of point this time.

We win big in McDavids absence

 

[McHelpus]

If they can go 1-1-1 in this 3 game span i would be very happy.

 

[bellagiobob]

Bold prediction: McDavid will draw as many penalties tonight as he usually does.

I like those odds

Sassy Drai is cool.

[CupofOil]

Leon is the real leader of this team, I've thought this for at least a few years. No slight to McDavid who is the best player but Drai just exudes the most leadership the way he talks and carries himself and he's also not afraid to speak his mind. One fine piece of German Machinery that fella is.

if the league really cared about TV ratings and all of that noise they would have given 97 and myers 1 game and hyped the shit out of the thursday rematch.
