Would be nice to make a statement before the holiday break by beating up on the Sens. Ullmark has been strong lately, so we will have to bring our A game. Let's start this game on time and not in the second period please.

Bold prediction: Oilers win 5-2, and Ullmark faces 40+ shots.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

GL Oilers, may the best team win. Tonight and the WInnipeg game are definitely the two toughest games on this road trip.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Have to win again to keep pace with Vegas... That team just doesn't lose lately.

That f*** turd franchise is always a loser in my heart of hearts.

Sens on a 6 game win streak, well that ends tonight

 

[Mr Positive]

This is our last game before the Christmas break. If both teams empty the tank I think that favors Oilers. Look for monster games from McDavid and Draisaitl

This should be a fun one.

Both my teams playing extremely well!

I mean the oilers and senators..

Not the colts... They don't do anything well.

Oilers have to stop backing into games. It’s the only flaw in their game right now. Last game with my son who’s in town from Belgium for Christmas, and we’ve been to the last 3 just like old times. Been a lot of fun! Let’s get one more win to close the Christmas home stand out on a positive note.

Yup it will bite them right in the testicle against the good teams. Sens are red hot right now. Not sure how this game will go.

This is like Van Damme Bloodsport vs Van Damme Kickboxer. 1967 spiderman cartoon vs 1994 spiderman cartoon. Prime Demi Moore vs Prime Sandra Bullock..

I'm torn!!

Not true....you can make money by betting against them

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

It’s too bad the oil shit the bed and gave away the Florida game. Sens are hot so could be a tough one . Need to start on time

Crazy. That’s gonna be a record that McDrai will own all to themselves. No pesky Gretzky and Lemiuex in their way.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Skinner on the fourth line. Why sign him if you are going to neuter him ? He has no chance to do anything playing tgere

Lmfao I never thought of that. That's a valid point

Rumor is apparently the oilers talked with him and they mutually agreed it isn't a good fit so they'll look to trade him

I'd have to see proof of that. I know that that Got Yer Back podcast mentioned it but I get the impression it's not based on inside info. I wouldn't mind a clip of it

Yeh I hate it too. We’ve played 33 games this season. First 5 games Skinner was the most effective forward we had. Then went cold. Then demoted to 3rd line where he showed spurts of production. Last couple games he’s been back checking pretty hard.

We signed him to be a top 6 scorer. And we’re barely giving him a chance to gel with this team.

Hyman was good his first year with us but he didn’t really pop off for us until year 2. It takes time to acclimate and really find a role and learn to play with one of McDrai. And here we’ve paid Skinner $3M to not even give him a chance to do that?

Zero PP time. Zero time with Drai or McD. Literally just signed him to put him in a position to fail at this point.

Where? Where is this rumor?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Should be a tough battle, but find some goals early and make Ottawa chase the game, as well as give them that "familiar" feeling about playing the Oilers

Yeah. You can argue that they shouldn’t have signed him, but that’s a moot point once the ink dries on the contract. They have him on the roster. He’s got a 3m deal with a full no move. Maybe at least try to put him in a position where his skill set isn’t a negative ??

Strudwick on Got yer back podcast. Perhaps I shouldn't have posted that's since it's the only source.

I'd have to see proof of that. I know that that Got Yer Back podcast mentioned it but I get the impression it's not based on inside info. I wouldn't mind a clip of it

That's my source. Might not be a good rumor. Should not have posted that. Sorry to start speculation.
