[Adrianopolous]

Another moral victory? will we play well and lose again?

How will Ullmark respond? Big test for him against McDavid.

Tonight will be tough. Edmonton lost to one of the worst teams in the league last night, they're assuredly pissed off and they happen to have 2 of the best players in the world - and a Dman who needs a kick in the pants after a couple of terrifically lazy backchecks on breakaways.

I will be the eternal optimist and say it's time for Ullmark to show why he's been consistently one of the better goalies in the league. Don't overthink, just do what you've always done.

40% of the barn will the Oilers fans. It was at 35% last year but we will definitely see a bump after the run the Oilers went on last year.

The worst teams goalies made saves.

Can Ullmark?

Can Ullmark?

Eventually...yes. But we need it now, obviously.

 

[Larionov]

One huge plus is us having last change, giving us the opportunity to put one of our top lines out against Josh Brown. We need to punish the Oilers mercilessly when they put that guy on the ice...

Save Low effort GDT tag for when a last min GDT is made (say within an hour of the puck drop), there's a Pre game talk tag for this kind of stuff, we've been fortunate enough to have some posters put in some effort to make a nice GDT, don't need to be discouraging that by making an early Low effort thread before they get a chance to put a traditional one together.

What new frustrating ways will the Sens find to lose the game?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Oilers playing their 3rd game in 4 nights and their goaltending has been shaky to start the season. At some point we need to take advantage and grab some of these points. It can't just be about "the process".

Sounds like a job for the Slumpbuster Sens

Oilers were embarrassed in Montreal which means another loss for Ottawa.

Winning against Philadelphia was important.

It's also Edmonton's 3rd game in 4 nights, all on the road. I'm not so sure it's an auto-loss.
