Pre-Game Talk: Deep Fried Wins. Oilers-Jets, Wednesday 7 PM

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Looks like Bear might be ready to go and be chucked into the deep fryer.
Looks like Bouchard practicing on the left side of the deep fryer will be a left fry.
Looks like Ennis has bubbled up in the deep fryer to fry with Draisaitl and Honey Badger.
Looks like Kahun has dropped into the muck of the deep fryer to fry with Turris and Chaisson fries.
Looks like Shore is being taken out of the deep fryer to cool off with the taxi squad.
Looks like Smith had the excess grease wiped off as he left the deep fryer early yesterday, will hopefully finish frying tomorrow.
My guess is Neal will be plopped back in the deep fryer to sizzle with Khaira and Archi who have fried well lately.
Not sure if Lagesson can fry tomorrow or if Jones might be tossed back into the deep fryer.

My projected fries:

RNH - McDavid - PJ
Ennis - Draisaitl - Honey Badger
Neal - Khaira - Archi
Kahun - Turris - Chaisson

Nurse - Barrie
Bouchard - Bear
Jones - Larsson (assuming Lagesson can’t go)

Smith
Koskinen has the frying pan.

Prediction:
Oilers will pull a greasy win out of the deep fryer against the Jets.

Thought Shore was playing well. Turris needs to go..

Turris has been a huge disappointment

should have taken that money and given it to nick cousins

I agree Turris has been a disaster. Sounds like Tippett had a long chat with him during practice today. Not sure where it's going but this cant last much longer with him costing us goals each game.

 

[Oildrum]

Hammer the under.

It's a big deep fryer. Oil has been changed regularly but the end result is the product often leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Hopefully it was to give him a heads up that he’ll be sitting once they activate Haas tomorrow.

A long chat with Tippett. He'll be even worse now...

He had a long chat with JP one time and JP scored 2 goals after....

I guess it's me then. Last coach I've liked here was Ralph Krueger. The rest have got on my nerves.

 

[gordonhught]

Did tippet have a long talk with Jones? Or it Tippett talking to Jones’ mom?

I thought you were a big Eakins fan?

 

[Captain Fantastic]

I thought you were a big Eakins fan?

Haha.. Where did you get that idea? I'm not into vegetable plates and dip. F him..

 

[gordonhught]

Wish there was another game tonight

I have no interest in the American teams

I can watch a north division game anytime

Looks like I’m going to be doing the GDT for HF Jets tomorrow. Again I’m hoping for an OT finish.

Out of curiosity are they your second team or tied with Canucks?

Enough with the chemistry experiment!

Although, I doubt stubborn old Tippett moves from it. Continues to pound square pegs into round holes.

Kahun practised with the bottom 6 today.
Ennis with Yamo and Tourist who was filling in for Draisaitl.

Will Darcy Kuemper be ready to go for us tomorrow?

They’re my 2nd but the Oilers are right there TBH. I used to have an affection for all the Canadian franchises, though Calgary I find are tough to like, even with Marky and Tanev, the rest of the Team turns my stomach - and I’m not just saying that because I’m in your Board. I even joined a GDT with them a few weeks ago to cheer on my ex-Canucks and the antics of Tkachuk & Giordano had me leave the Thread.

I shared this in @Wen22 ’s comic thread, but when a few seasons ago my wife and I were in Edmonton visiting our Daughter and her family and took her & my son in law to watch the Sedin’s last game.

We wore our Canucks jerseys and bought Oilers tarps for them as anniversary gifts and everyone we ran into was giving us thumbs up and high 5’s and saying “One more Year!”

Everyone was friendly and even though both teams were eliminated from the playoffs, the game was still exciting, going into OT & then a Shoot Out, where the Sedins brought their children to the bench to watch.

It was a night of Hockey I’ll always remember and holds a special place in our heart. We make it an event to go each year, except this one of course.

Sorry for the long response, but honestly I enjoy sharing the story.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I hope the Oilers toss us a nugget and get a win tomorrow.
