GDT: Game 41: Gimme a Dozen - Kraken @ Oilers 7pm - SN1

[Oilhawks]

I turned it off after 2-0 out of frustration. Came back at the half way point and we were up 3-2
Man I love this team!

Hah, me too! But was lucky to catch the Oilers goals

Stat from the Krak broadcast
21 goals (leading league) in goals in the first two minutes of a period. Wonder how many of those since the Knob/Coffey era started

Ladi Smid loves the oilers to this day.

Found himself an Edmonton girl.

I think I've figured it out.

The plan is they go down by 2 early in order to simulate playing against a more conservative playoff style hockey as the opposing team tries to shut down your comeback.

They then see how fast they can take the lead back, and then try and hold it for as long as they can, to prepare to play teams with that extra desperation that will likely be the minimum you see in the post season.

The goal is to end the game at this stage. Adding to a lead late is okay however.

Any other outcome results in a team wide bag skate.

It's the perfect training ground for the post season!

 

[KCC]

These guys aren’t even playing well but they are getting every break. Like the polar opposite of the first 15 games

what breaks? The offside goal? Because Edm has had a million go against them during this streak but they’ve still found a way. Lol

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Nice pass by D'Accord though.

Shut up Louie.

Ah she gave him something to Czech out, eh?

Too bad they haven't got a single break from the refs on the penalty calls.

 

[TheNumber4]

Once an Oiler, always an Oiler. Yams still got that offside disease

Hey it’s not his fault he can’t jump over the boards!

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Oh sweet Jesus.

Oilers have to win this tonight
I forgot, it’s my birthday today.
Oilers win tonight and Saturday
Packers beat 49ers
what a birthday bash I’ll be doing then

happy birthday!

Great period but a little loose with the puck management towards the end of the period. Seattle should be gassed at the end of a load trip, get an early one in the 3rd and break their spirit.

Also, not surprising to see Kane more effective now that he's playing with skilled players. He just never fit on the 3rd line.

They are making mistakes, but supporting each other really well. Everyone seems to know where they need to be and it causing them to keep possession longoer. So even when they are not sharp they can at least hang with good teams. With the elite skill...sucks for the other team.

I want to say imagine what the 2nd line would be like if we had someone like Kane or Guentzel, but I think we have to get used to the idea that these are the types of wingers we are going to have to get used to. Though I do think we trade our first this year for help...either cap help or player.

Rambling, sorry. Vape hit hard

 

[McFlyingV]

Oh sweet Jesus.

Gene is among us.

Missed them all. My penance

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Gene is among us.

No more internet for him tonight.

I'd love to get Guentzel on this team. He'd be awesome with any of our best 3 centers.

Leafs were up 4-2 and it's now 4-3 in the second intermission.

I want the Toronto implosion to continue but it's still tough to cheer for Calgary.

 

[Oilers in NS]

happy birthday!

Thx
might have a taste tomorrow
first once since surgery so I’ll have to watch the Frank the Tank drinking

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

You really don't

Who are you, the fan police?

It's such a dilemma lol

I decided that the Flames need to lose. A lot of teams behind the Oilers need to get kicked down a notch

Don’t care. f*** the Leafs.

We already won the battle of Alberta anyways, Red Deer is ours!

Happy Birthday you old fart.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

He has more confidence shooting on his backhand than his forehand this season.

It’s weirdddd.

It's also, for whatever it's worth, a lack of puck luck, shots just missing or getting stopped, passes not quite reaching or getting deflected.

He'll break out, you can feel it coming.

Also Skinner has been solid again tonight

It's not tough, just don't cheer for Calgary. See how easy that was?
