GDT: Game 17: Coyotes @ Oilers | 2-23-13 | 1:30 PM MST

[Summer Rose]

Here we go with a powerplay. Tripping on Eager. It sounds like the Edmonton crowd is taking an afternoon nap or something.

It's rather surprising too, isn't Edmonton normally one of the loudest crowds in the league? I can barely hear them.

 

[Howler Scores]

Why is this an afternoon game

Was at the gym and got the alert from ESPN that the game started.

Think they have a lot of day games this time of year due to ice on the road?

I spent a year in Auckland. Cricket and rugby rather grew on me, so I make an effort to keep up with the Blackcaps and All Blacks. It's fairly easy in this day and age with all the streams around. Didn't get to watch any of last night's ODI but I kept up with it on cricinfo at work.

Ahhhh, that explains it. You basically have to follow the All Blacks over here, or you'll be deported, but it's surprising seeing an American get into cricket. Then again, I believe there's a US T20 competition trying to start up and attempt to bring the sport mainstream. It'll be interesting to see how that goes.

Don't like how OEL isn't on the 1st PP unit

 

[Vip]

Damnit Rundblad Gave Belanger a clean cut breakaway.

Nice save Smitty.

 

[CC96]

c'mon yandle

 

[Vip]

Another Powerplay. Interference on Jeff Petry.

 

[Muppet]

I've lost count with the amount of times that Yandle has blown a tire on the blue line.

 

[Vip]

Are you ****ing kidding me? TWO short handed breakaways for the Oilers. I can imagine Smith isnt too happy abuot that.

 

[CC96]

thats 2 shorthanded breakaway by Yandle in 2 minutes.

 

[pacerhimself]

They can't settle the puck at all.

 

[Muppet]

Okay, stop giving us PP's now, it's getting embarrassing again.

[Summer Rose]

I guess it's safe to say we're back to playing Coyotes hockey after an unorthodox start.

Our power play is back to "normal" for who we are.

 

[Vip]

Thank you Smith for stopping both breakaways

 

[Summer Rose]

Wow, could have been 2-0.

Time to start calling our 4th line our top line?

 

[Muppet]

Thank you Smith for stopping both breakaways

This, this and this.

 

[Vip]

Watching this Edmonton feed makes me realize how much Canada really loves hockey. Pretty much every single commercial has something to do with hockey or mentions hockey in some way.

 

[KG]

Honestly, down Hanzal, Vrbata, Morris, and Schlemko we're not looking *too* bad?

Why the **** is Marty so injury prone

 

[mitch27]

Solid road period outside of a few gaffes. Can't let up in the second.

 

[Vip]

Vermette needs to start scoring or something. I need him to back up my avatar choice.

 

[Shepard]

Super Yandle out, Special Yandle in.

 

[Summer Rose]

Vermette needs to start scoring or something. I need him to back up my avatar choice.

Likewise, I need Rundblad to back up my username/avatar choice instead of coughing the puck up at the blue line.

That was Yandle.

 

[Vip]

That was Yandle.

Looked like Rundlbad tried to force it to Yandle when there was an Oiler forward right there, thus just giving it away and causing a breakaway. When he couldve easily just dumped it down low.
