GDT: Game 4 • Oilers @ Devils • "Band Together" • 5pm • SNETW

[gordonhught]

Bear lead all Oilers skaters in ice time that period... 7:39

Bear getting better and better. Is crafty. Nurse is strong. Good complimentary pairing.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Did I just see that the Devils' scoreboard displays who's on the ice for each team? That's really neat if so.

Yea they do IIRC from when I was there. They did in Barclays ctr and MSG as well. Something they should do here but they are too busy having everyone lose their hearing with Ryan Jesperson screaming T SHIRT TOOOOOOSSSSSSS at the top of his lungs.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

Based on a small sample size, Bear looks like he has that top 4 upside.

It’s nice to see after it felt like he was the forgotten prospect on the backend being thrown into every proposal this summer.

 

[Paralyzer]

Neither team will make it very far in the playoffs.

True. I LOL at the Leafs if they lose games 8-7 or something really stupid

 

[TheNumber4]

Hopefully we get on the PP soon against this 50% woof PK of NJ

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Nurse has been doing well when jumping up into plays so far this year. He always had this potential, hope he reaches it this year.

The argument that he has no offensive IQ has always been BS.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Based on a small sample size, Bear looks like he has that top 4 upside.

Eventually he'll be the 2nd pairing RHD while Bouch will be the top pairing RHD.

 

[GodPucker]

Refs letting them play for the most part. Thought we should have had at least 1 PP though.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Persson can be a bit lose defensively, but the guy has wonderful poise when the pucks on this stick. Both he and Bear have been great at recognising the time they have to make a play, and not panicking,

Russell's guilty of tossing it down the ice, but at least he doesn't leave his partner out to dry. Benning keeps defering when Russell's either not in position, or already covered. I wouldn't be opposed to gibing Manning a shot if that continues...

 

[Bryanbryoil]

The argument that he has no offensive IQ has always been BS.

He has made huge strides in this regard. It just goes to show how much work he has put into his game the last 2-3 years.

 

[TheNumber4]

The argument that he has no offensive IQ has always been BS.

Especially what he shows in JR. he was like a 4th forward when he was on the ice cause he was literally everywhere on the ice.

Bennings slowness getting tonpucks then slowness in making a play with it is setting Russel up for all kinds of trouble this game.

That third pairing is definitely the weakest of the three.

I can’t imagine that Lagesson Bouchard would be any worse.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Benning is like +5 with a couple assists so far... I don't really think he's a problem... but I guess people gotta make crap up just because they need to make sure their blind bias is clear to all.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

I’m pretty sure why they said Gene was unavailable was because he was taking a dump.

 

[McOvechking]

Eventually he'll be the 2nd pairing RHD while Bouch will be the top pairing RHD.

He's already the top pairing RHD. And it's going to take a hell of an effort from Bouchard to knock him out of that spot.

 

[Del Preston]

Kassian can't draw a penalty.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Nice trip on kassian

 

[Husker Du]

McDavid just missed that shot.

 

[oilers68]

that mcdavid rebound was going in..

 

[Husker Du]

Sizzling save with the frypan.

 

[brentashton]

Looks like it. Better trade him while his value is high.

Think we can get Lucic like value for him!

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Calling icings before Devils player even gets to the hashmarks.

 

[Paralyzer]

Think we can get Lucic like value for him!

I was thinking Hall value.
