GDT: Edmonton Oilers @ Toronto Maple Leafs 7:00pm on NBCSN/Sportsnet

Yeah apparently some players were complaining, and the weight was different.

Probably reasonable to expect Matthews to hit em with the 4 now.

Yeah he has went oh-fer hitting them with the 4 in the Trump era. No excuses now!

 

[Coachcorner]

Joe Thornton and Jason Spezza and Zach Hyman and TJ Brodie and John Tavares and Mitch Marner and Wayne Simmonds and Travis Dermott and... have a lot of family and friends from Southern Ontario watching this game. I expect a big breakout from all of them.

I loves it sire! So many, so that means the odds are really favouring us that even some of these fools of ours will explode on so many faces tonight! This gon be fun sire! I'm thinking like simmonds might score tonight, with his 9 min game time. Glad he talks more than Joe even. Maybe its even, maybe more. I haven't measured it yet.

Be interesting to see who Keefe matches up with McDavid

all the McDavid talk; lets not forget the art ross winner of last season on their 2nd line. Drai is a handful when he gets going

 

[Ryan Michaels]

Took a pill in Sbisa you are right to correct me I overestimated the Oilers powerplay opportunities last year. I remain baffled as to how the team got 7 opportunities while not playing particularly well, as that is an insane amount of powerplays regardless who drew them. And I remain baffled by Oiler fans shitting on the Leafs because someone...I don't even know who...suggested maybe there was one missed call on Matthews earlier in the season, considering they are quite famous for obsessing over missed McDavid calls.

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Oilers haven't been good so far this year (1 win in 4 games), so this should be a W for us.

The Oiler's defense and goal tending still look a little suspect to me.

 

[Critical13]

One thing is certain - we will need our PK and our goaltending to be better than average tonight. No doubt the calls will be 6-2 in favour of EDM, and that PP is disgustingly good.

It's been pretty bad so far, only 2/18. They failed to score on 2 5 on 3s last game.

Recalled? Not following the meaning here.

Players were complaining about the puck and the NHL has pulled them.

 

[Sniper99]

Please win all 4 games against the Oilers coming up, and shut up the annoying Oiler fans!

I've got $20 bet with a friend that Leafs finish higher than the Oilers, been pulling his leg to just e-transfer the money already. WW3 is on in this family for another season, effective today.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Wait so it's on nbc; babcock critiquing the Leafs tonight?

Must watch lol.

 

[Sniper99]

Is this another Hughson-less game? I dont mind Simpson its Hughson thats the pain in the ass.

I am not trusting that to hold up. EDM always shows up vs Toronto.

Hughson is only doing Canucks home games this season.

Over/Under 1 Leafs PP?

Yup, those big bad Leafs currently leading the NHL in PIMs.

Luckily, our special teams have been excellent despite the 37% powerplay share.

Enjoy the free win

Nothing is ever free, just because you guys havent started off like you wanted, its still Toronto and any Ontario or GTA player on the Oilers will want to turn it up a notch even if they aren't playing in front of friends and family.

It's the Oilers, they don't do that lol

The Oilers PP has been abysmal this year. 2 goals on 18 attempts and 2 short handed goals against. The PP is nothing to fear this year.

 

[Critical13]

It's the Oilers, they don't do that lol

*flashbacks of McDavid sending Rielly's soul to the netherworld*

Rielly never really recovered lol
