GDT: Game #45: Oilers @ Avalanche - 7:30 PM - SN1

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

If there was ever a scheduled loss....

Oilers win 4-1. Draisaitl scores 2 empty net goals.

Let's not go crazy here.

Draisaitl scores 2 empty net goals.

While looking mackinnon dead in the eye while doing it too

I’m usually not won to whine about scheduling but MINN/COL back to back is dogshit by the League lolu

 

[TB12]

Hey Avs lurkers!

Your team is a perennial top 5 powerplays drawn team. Reflanche is a very appropriate name.

Your team is a bunch of whining pukes that draw more calls than anyone.

This stems from the top as attitude reflects leadership and Mckinnon is a whiny bitch. Cry more.

I get that scheduling is hard, but the Oilers and Avalanche is a feature game that would draw a feature audience.

It makes no sense to have the Oilers @ Wild broadcast nationally in the USA and Canada on a night where there are only two games only to have the Avalanche game the next night crammed between about 14 other games. Not only will there be fewer eyes, one of the teams will probably be half baked with it being 3 in 4 and second of back to back.

 

[Coffey]

lmao this made me laugh

 

[Dynamic]

I’m me of those games I wonder if it would be better to just try to get through it without being embarrassed and save energy for Friday against our division. Back to back going up to Denver is gonna be tough

 

[Morpheus]

Classic Triumph! Love it. Who's that joining them on guitar for RMW?

Rick Santers is my guess

 

[Spawn]

This feels like one of those games where the schedule is stacked against you. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a bit of a lackluster performance. Hopefully the team can pull a tough one out though. But if not I think it’s excusable.

 

[Duke74]

We need to strategically plan so that we're ahead by one late in the third period. That way, the Avs will start the goalie pull five minutes early. That gives us the opportunity for THREE ENGs.

Don't expect McDavid to play this unfortunately

Why not?

If there was ever a scheduled loss....

Oilers win 4-1. Draisaitl scores 2 empty net goals.

Dude has trouble scoring one and you think he'll get TWO?

 

[GhostfaceWu]

4 pts out of top spot in the league

 

[CanadasTeam99]

I was happy if they went 1-1 in these two games. Some trash scheduling. A loser point is even a victory to me

I'd rather beat the crap out of Vancouver lol.

How many pps will the refalanche get? It is so wild to me how they stay up there while we are a better possessions team.

Lots of bitching or whining. Edmonton is a vet team off a finals appearance and is almost dead last.

Wifejak for cats?

 

[BarDownBobo]

Supposedly with Kiviranta and OConnor on the wings. Big opportunity for whichever set of RNH/Hyman or Podz/Arvy match up to come out ahead, I like our duo heavily whichever it ends up.

 

[Sanchez]

I hope they have another strong night, really make everyone take notice.

Also, Dark Mode is back

Thank you for letting us all know!!!

This has the most scheduled loss vibe to it possible.

8th game in 14 nights with travel between every game and time zone changes between each game except once. Also 3rd game in 4 nights in the building at the highest altitude in the NHL against a recent cup winning team that's likely a little pissed off at the result last time they met.

I expect a sloppy, tired game from the Oilers with their only hope being some lucky bounces or a game for the ages by Skinner.

Now prove me wrong, boys.
