GDT: Dry January? How about Drai January! Oilers v Flyers - 7 PM

[Jimmi McJenkins]

A bit of lull there, but the Oilers are still in good shape. A solid 3rd will leave them with 2 points. Let's Go Oilers

Imagine getting yelled at by Tortorella

If i knew him I would do something to piss him off just for a laugh...

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Hard to fault them for the second. A bit of rubber legs I'm guessing. 3 game roadtrip on the east coast, few days off for Christmas wherever they dispersed to, then all the way over to the west coast for three more then back to the MST zone 48 hours later. That's a lot of timezone hopping.

 

[EnufAlready]

Couple of real jerks….Gene and Zach. Lol

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Oilers are definitely very guilty of letting the Flyers hang around in this one.

Two transition goals against triggering some early season flashbacks.

That 2nd goal was brutal defensive coverage by our forwards. Kind of surprised that Knoblauch kept that line out there for the faceoff although they have done a lot of positive lately.

Lmao Ottawa might havethe worst goaltending in the league. Canucks planning the parade

 

[Kerberos]

McDavid is now 10 points behind Kucherov with 4 games in hand.

No, still 12. Kucherov PP merchanted 2 tonight.

But maybe you're from the future and McDavid pots a couple more in the 3rd.

 

[CupofOil]

Jesus, Canucks up 5-0 in the 1st on 15 shots. They're going to PDO their way to the division title aren't they?

At the game and on our second I told me wife, worst lead in hockey. Had to explain it. They get one...oh isn't that nice. Everyone deserves to see their team score. f*** that I said to her, they aren't entitled to anything.

Starting to think I need someone new to go to games with....16 years of marriage and she still says stupid shit. Lol

Toronto outshooting LA 7-1 right now

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Not crazy about the idea of having to play those guys in round 1.

Oilers are playing a lot better now, but I Wouldn't mind that match up.

 

[Tom Brady]

Pathetic defense

I haven't been able to watch much of the games this year but not surprised defence is still suspect.

Two thumbs up for the avatar

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Carter Hart? More like Carter Fart, am I right guys?

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Iafallo with a game winner
Thought LAK lost the trade for Dubois, but didn't expect Iafallo to single handedly be outscoring Dubois

No doubt!

Haha the duality of HFOil.

I think we will be crossing over to face WPG or staying put to play VGK. I'm interested to see what the team can do against them in the first round. I'd like to see us f*** the defending champs in R1 and then go streaking on a depleted R2 Kings team. I don't think VAN makes it out of R1 regardless of who they face, at some point that team is gonna crash and I'm not sold on their ability to do well in a 7 game series when the other team has time to adjust to your game.

The playoffs are just an entirely different form of hockey and I think Demko will get both tired and exposed by the time they have to go 6-7 games deep against someone.

Playoffs are a much different animal too. Canucks have so many small players (Pettersson, Hughes, Garland, Kuzmenko). We could probably push them around so easily.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Only thing playing the csnucks is they have way better goaltending

 

[Ruok]

Part of me is still confident the wheels fall off the canucks wagon somepoint here. Their pdo is ridiculous. Torching the sens tonight though...

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I would hope that we get some upgrades before the playoffs that hopefully boosts other areas to try and lessen that gap or give us more of a gap in other areas of the game.

 

[Anemia]

I hope Hugent-Knobkins can keep up his play of late.
