I’m second under tardigarde’s splits ahhh

Edit: oh my god that was Mr Kot with a triumphant crab. I need sleep

 

[CanadasTeam99]

a 7:52PM start time. What a sh** time

 

[bobbythebrain]

Any lines released?

He don't need no stinkin empty net.

Puck drop scheduled for 8:52 local time...on a Wednesday. Another banner decision from the "brains" at the NHL.

Need another win tonight against a non-playoff team. Need to capitalize on their chances when they dominate and not let these garbage teams hang around, giving the refs an option to 'make it interesting'.

I'll catch this one tomorrow. Enjoy the game.

Brett Hull once said he frowned on empty net goals, Ovi not so much.

 

[bellagiobob]

There needs to be more talk in the media about empty net goals when they are comparing players totals and talking about year end awards based on goals, with no context supplied. OV, Kapri and Rantanen have scored 25% of their goals into the vacant cage, just stupidly high numbers. A whole bunch more in the 15-24% range.

Nah, this is one of the funniest posts of all-time.

 

[BlackDogg]

Imagine if empty nets were around the entire time Gretkzy played

[CantHaveTkachev]

would be 4 if that goal against the Leafs counted

I would join in on this argument but the Oilers make scoring on empty nets seem impossible. I’m at a point now where scoring an empty netter for the Oilers is more impressive

 

[tardigrade81]

Stupid late games. Already tired lol

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Whats skinner gotta do to get top 6 time. Crazy

The following may be...

 

[Messrules11]

Where on earth is @5 Mins 4 Ftg and @Drivesaitl these days? Haven’t seen either one for quite some time.

 

[OilerMcLord]

I swear to God that this is not a jinx or reverse jinx, but I am F'ing terrified of this game.

The Hawks always play us tough; the Oilers make any Hawks goaltender look like the second coming of Hasek and while there is plenty of parity in the league, the Oilers SHOULD win this game.

Go Oilers! Please make me look foolish for having any doubt...

 

[K1984]

a 7:52PM start time. What a sh** time

Oh I just love when they do this.

 

[Sanchez]

 

[Pip]

Woah this is a shake up. I figured they’d run it back after a win. Huge opportunity for Skinner

 

[Old Boys Club]

Bet the McDrai stack is back as soon as the Oilers go down by 1
