GDT: Devils @ Oilers - 9:00 PM - MSG

[HBK27]

The Oilers will hold a pre-game ceremony to open the Oilers Hall of Fame and induct Lee Fogolin and Ryan Smyth as the inaugural inductees.

This makes me a bit nervous - teams seem to play well following pre-game ceremonies like this. Just look at how we ragdolled Columbus on Daneyko's night.

yeah i thought that too when i read about the ceremony tonight but honestly all the better. this team has shown the last two weeks it can beat beatable teams now is a good test about a better team on a big night for that team.

This.
Cannot give two of the best forwards on the planet multiple PP chances withiut it biting you in the ass.

Every time I say that about a team, we end up taking like 6 penalties.

 

[PWiz30]

I know I'm going to be in the minority on this but I would go back to Blackwood tonight. He played well enough the other night that he should get another start on this trip and it damn sure isn't going be in Calgary given his history there.

 

[JK3]

Real big test for Edmonton tonight, Devils are playing great. Nico and Bratt are tearing it up, gonna be a tough one.

Smith, Blackwood, and no Holtz

Whatever. Just hold the second coming to less than 3 points and they should be good.

LGD!

I can see McD drawing penalties like crazy if aSmith is tryig to defend him .

Found this on Google and it made me chuckle:

That’s a classic. We also have the Coilers logo with a turd instead of the Oil drop.

Years of suffering as an Oilers fan! (I’m also a low key Devils fan, loved Brodeur)

So Put Bahl in and Keep Smith as far away from the stadium as possible.

 

[Nocashstyle]

Yeah Holtz is wasting away in the stands right now…but at the same time, Boqvist has looked very solid. Hard to say any fwd deserves to sit right now

[Rhodes 81]

Lol, catching hate from oilers fans is bizarre. Are they really giving us shit about not winning with a bunch of high picks!?

If any team was gonna be empathetic to drafting high forever without any results I for sure thought it would be Oilers fans.

In the words of Doc Holliday…”Now I really hate em”.

Yeah thats hilarious.

Maybe they don't hate us because we're different but in fact they hate us because we're so similar

3/10. They mentioned the swamp, but missed the trap, Snookie, and Joisey.

Have accomplished exactly zero in almost a decade of won lotto picks and high drafting order

Don't you just hate teams like that?

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Hey... we haven't played in a swamp in 15 years!

Maybe they don't hate us because we're different but in fact they hate us because we're so similar

[TBF1972]

Hour earlier start for the win! This should be a fun one. If we can contain this team's shot output on the road, it would speak volumes of what they're capable of. I know the captain will have the team in line and ready to go!

Let's f***ing Go Devils!!!

Whoa, I think we found the reverse Kevin Smith!

 

[The Wumpus]

I don't think our lineup meets the minimum Canadian Content broadcasting standards, so maybe they won't even have to watch the game

 

[SansaStark]

Does Edmonton have the equivalent of an L.Boebert cause after perusing the Avs board the other day everything fully clicked for me. Insane arrogance at its finest.

Have the best player ever and haven’t won sh*t.

 

[Devils090]

Skinner in net for Edmonton

To be fair, it's only a couple of them. Several others are looking forward to the game and say we are looking great.

 

[glenwo2]

We've absolutely dominated most games this year, but I doubt we're holding Edmonton under 25 shots and running up the score on them. It'll be interesting to see how they handle a team that's firing on all cylinders. The game against the Avs was tight with some of their forwards out, but Edmonton will be much more explosive.

I think it would be incredible if we did hold them under 25 shots.

It would deliver a message to the rest of the NHL that.....hey....we're like...for real or something.

fixed.
