GDT: Game #20: Oilers @ Sens: 5 PM - SNW

[Lacaar]

The unstoppable force vs the immoveable object.

Scheduled loss vs Guilty Oilers

I'm calling a win tonight. The Oilers are a good hockey team that quite frankly just has a hard time getting emotionally invested in hockey games.
I think the no show the night before give them enough emotional investment to try harder.

Might win

Then again

Might not

 

[GrumpyKoala]

How do I cope go about it tonight?

Hard liquor and salted nuts
Cucumber slices and sea salt foot massage bath
Beer & pretzel in oversized underwear

I'm playing NHL 17 and oh my its such a throwback. 2016 was a really different time. Oilers developing McDavid with the likes of Mark Fayne getting overpaid and our roster being blown apart for no reason. Just simmed first year and St Louis won the damn cup with Yakupov on the team.... wtf


And go Oilers! Yall can do thisssss

 

[Morpheus]

Updated the OP:
Injuries, starting goalies & Sens projected line up, can someone post a tweet of the oilers projected lineup? Thanks…hoping Kapanen dresses tonite

Edit: sounds like 7-11 again tonite

I don’t wish to change the coach again, but with changes starting to happen would you make a move if a Mike Sullivan became available

Lol. No. Knoblauch is a great coach, we'd be dumb to move on from him.

Might have to use a stick to put a round black rubber disc into netting, i think.

Sorry but good teams don’t have a hard time getting emotionally invested.

4-1 Ottawa
Micheals goes quiet and leaves the broadcast crew after witnessing Stauffer sweat more profusely than ever, turn redder than Santas suit and blow up.

 

[Mr Positive]

I like to think that a bad loss last game inspires the team.

On paper though, our top players played way too many minutes last game to be good this game.

Maybe Skinner can feel the pressure and summon a great game like he occasionally does

Would be a good night for Skinner to win one for his teammates.

Just bought grossly overpriced scalper nosebleed tickets for Springsteen in Vancouver. With legalized scalping this city is brutal to get first run seats. Ticketmaster doubles down with fee on the original ticket sale and another $110 on my buy. Haven't see the Boss so selling a kidney ... slightly damaged from this past weekends Grey Cup shenanigans ... to see this well oiled music machine.

Make sure you don't get some depends diapers miss the stage and hit Yer head

For the love of god Skinner... Over .900 please.

 

[RegDunlop]

TS Eliot you are not but still a pretty good poem.

I’m a little more informal, let me try …


There once was a road team in Ottawa
Who played hockey like a poor running Yamaha
If they had played this way
Back in the glory day
They’d all be sent to Wichita

Back to back against the Sens
Somebody tell me what happens
For I cannot watch it
They still think they're hot shit
Yet only three up on the Pens

 

[Mez]

Talking about talking about playing video games is where it's at.

I prefer to watch other people talk about other people playing video games.

For the love of god Skinner... Over .900 please.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Ah shit, here we go again. Hopefully a win will calm the masses.

Remember to double bag your head tonight

Remember to double bag your head tonight

Paper, not plastic.
Think of the sea turtles and other reasons...

 

[ZJuice]

Oilers + wants me to be pumped about what Bowman has to say? His history with the hawks aside, the man talks circles with a bored voice. I shall pass!

 

[TheGingaNinja]

Bold Prediction: Oilers win 7-5, 3 PP goals!

 

[Sanchez]

McDrai is back; desperate times.

 

[Oilers88]

Montreal is the 30th best defensive team in the NHL, and they shut us out. Ottawa is the 11th best, allowing 0.5 fewer goals against per game. Speaking logically, I expect the Oilers to score -0.5 goals tonight.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Gene looks like Ron Jeremy.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Might win

Then again

Might not

If we had you in net we'd definitely win

Gene looks like Ron Jeremy.

Genes wife is lucky

 

[TheNumber4]

Better score all those goals we were sposed to score in Montreal too.
