GDT: Game #42: Oilers @ Blackhawks - 5 PM - SNW

[TheNumber4]

INTERNAL TALK time let’s gooooooooooooooooo

 

[K1984]

Reading about Oiler teams of the past and how Sather would (very) occasionally call out Gretzky or make a quip at Gretzky when it was needed.

Now’s the time here with McDavid. He, and the rest of the team are playing like f***ing garbage. Call him out, light a fire under him, and the rest will follow.

 

[Pip]

Only up from here… lol

 

[Frank the Tank]

Can't believe I sat in traffic for over an hour to watch this.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Soderbloom giving up some really juicy rebounds. Need a net front presence.

Let's see what team shows up in period 2.

They refuse to crash the net in 90% of their games. It won't change now

 

[Mr Positive]

Kap’s game is just barely getting away with showing some major warts.

He's got some defensive issues. He has cost us key goals at times with bad decisions

As for the game, I'm not worried yet. I liked our possession game. If we keep it up we should break through

 

[Vagabond]

The bright side is.... They're not down 3-0 after the first!

The top line has been bad lately.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Sleepwalking. Chicago is a flaming dumpster fire and the Oilers manage to look worse by showing up with their F-level effort the last 2 games.

 

[McFlash97]

Team should be embarrassed at that level of effort and execution against the leagues worst team on a back to back, after what happened in Pittsburgh.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Game is far from over if we get some goaltending. Zero doubt in my mind that the team takes over from here.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

controversial opinion:

if mcdavid is injured, he should skip the 4 nations to recover.

i kinda like it because that’d also stick it to gary for yanking the olympics from him.

I also know none of that will happen

 

[CanadasTeam99]

I appreciate Pickard the person and what he did last year, but he is flat out not good enough

Neither are good enough to help carry a cup team.

We need Gretzky like performances from mcdrai to get back to the cup. Goalies will only let us down

 

[MoontoScott]

Somebody forgot to tell the Hawks that the Oilers are a much better team.

He should skip it

I honestly do not know one person looking forward to it. It will be like a glorified all star game with some light hitting

I had to google who's even in the tourney

Yeh some iffy decisions when he has the puck too.

I missed the first 10 minutes, I’ll have to take your word for it. I see some o-zone pressure, but again just generating shots, and not generating clean chances.

 

[Boner Pills]

There's a Jokinen turkey girl emoji?

Edit: In the Like options...?

2nd Edit: lmao, hilarious. Thx guys, saw the Joki head, didn't actually see turkey girl herself until oilslick like. Genius!

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Neither are good enough to help carry a cup team.

Again, I'm not doing this f***ing nonsense. Skinner has flaws, he's an NHL goalie who can win NHL playoffs game, Calvin Pickard has not been an NHL back up this year, especially this last stretch, they need someone better

 

[iCanada]

McDavid’s line bleeding scoring chances every time they’re on the ice tonight.

Not really.

Just seems like that because two are in the back on the net.

If anything should be haranguing Nurse-Kulak.

He has looked very ordinary of late.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

If EDM loses to the Pens and now Chicago, then they have 6 tough games coming up with the Kings, Wild, Avs, Nucks twice and Caps. They could drop quite fast in the standings if they don't lock in.

Knowing us, I wouldn’t be surprised if we lost to Chicago tonight.

Then go on a 6 game winning streak.

McDavids going to have a regular season ending injury at the tournament freeing up to grab Savard at full cap.

If McDavids healthy, he should skip
It too, why should he be making the nhl extra money when they’d rather a false parity, f*** the nhl.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Another brutal first
Yawn

 

[booyakasha]

knob gonna put McDrai together against Chicago....LOL
throw the kitchen sink against the bottom teams...

 

[tardigrade81]

Only up from here… lol

True because now I have booze
