GDT: DIG IN! RIGHT NOW! Mantra of the 24-25 Season starts today! Oilers v Jets, 8 PM

[dylagierda]

RNH-McDavid-Hyman
Skinner-Draisaitl-Arvidsson
Janmark-Henrique-Brown
Podkolzin-Ryan-Perry

None of these guys can skate above average other than McDavid. The rest move about at a bogstandard pace, or well below the league average. This is going to be, incredibly understated, a concern this season as we see it unfold in real time.

So much turnover in the last two years where we have removed most of our speed and physicality. Nobody will feel fear playing the Oilers, hopefully we can have the McDrai show agian.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

We can't even get in their zone and create pressure

Shit goaltending brought them down quick

The Oilers have had much better chances this game.

Skinner once again sinks the team.

 

[oilexport]

Glad I'm a tier 2 fan, saved 500 bucks tonight.

[Vagabond]

I never understood not pulling a goalie after 3 especially in the 1st period let alone 4 on 10 shots.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Good thing we sold the season on Skinner/Pickard tandem.

That tandem did take us to the Finals.

Which I know is gonna ring hollow right now, but you’re gonna hear it and keep hearing it.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Would it be wise to pull Skinner now? Don't see the point in leaving him in.

We gotta get Skinny going

 

[Skate2Stick]

The Nurse-Emberson pairing needs to end.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Stfu jack. I don't get how people like him

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

I honestly wasn't excited for the start of the season. Looks like they weren't either

Last years awful start had me half ready for this, I didn’t watch a single preseason game for once and was expecting a loss tonight lol just frustrating seeing my fears come true

 

[oilers4life5]

Saddest part of this game is being out worked and out skated.

 

[BIeucheeseWithWings]

Skinner lobs a muffin into Helly when he had Bouch open. FFS.

 

[Gnome17]

Skinner has Bouch in alone but just chucks it at the net

 

[oilexport]

Glad I'm a tier 2 fan, saved 500 bucks tonight

 

[DaGap]

Maybe one year Oilers will take Preseaon seriously

 

[Anemia]

Will Stu finish with a save pct > 0.500? Stay tuned to find out!

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

This shit defense was not addressed in the offseason and management should be embarrassed
Cant wait for Accrued Capspace to play top 4 minutes

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

The Nurse-Emberson pairing needs to end.

Should never have been a thing. But man did Emberson play well for the Sharks!!!!

 

[McTedi]

Surprised they didn’t pull Skinner after the 4th goal

Well the team is playing like dogshit lol. Knob can't pull everybody.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Late November?

I hope just in like 30-40 minutes.

 

[Oilhawks]

I'm sure all the knee-jerk reactions here are more informed than Kevin Woodley, as bad as Skinner looks tonight.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Should bring back Tippett. Missing Gaetan Haas and Nygard right now

 

[Cloned]

Did Knob take RNH off the first line already? Good.

 

[tardigrade81]

The Nurse-Emberson pairing needs to end.

This

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

I'm going to bed.

Sleep tight!
