GDT: Game #55: Avalanche @ Oilers - 7 PM - SNW

[Old Boys Club]

Bob a little heavy with the Just for Men

 

[soothsayer]

Bob Stauffer found one of those elephant shower heads from Seinfeld.

 

[rboomercat90]

Is it just me or has Stauffer done something different with his hair tonight?

 

[tardigrade81]

Better get a whiskey refill

 

[Tobias Kahun]

By the time Makar hits 400 games, he'll be the 3rd most points in that period.

Hes so damn good, I saw him play multiple times in the AJHL anytime he played near calgary, it was like he was toying with the other teams everytime I saw him.

 

[Dirk Dangler]

Mcdavid should absolutely not be playing in the 4 nations. This guy needs rest and a break - very, very badly.

You know what though. It may do him some good. He gets to see how some of the other stars do things. How they approach the game. Little bits of leadership and gamesmanship. Hopefully Crosby is around the team even if he’s hurt.

I heard something before they cut to channel that bob said "my hair" at the end.

I didnt catch everything.

 

[Tarus]

Yet Knob will never give him more starts. Even to bide time for a potential upgrade.

Pickard isn't even really all that good of a goaltender, but he consistently looks better than Skinner in the technical aspects. Sad state of affairs really.

Unfortunately, I'm kind of resigned to the fact that Skinner is the Oiler's go-to guy through thick and thin. I'd love to think that all the conversation surrounding the Oilers that the team is happy with the goaltending tandem is just smoke and mirrors and they are actually seriously considering upgrades behind the scenes, but I doubt it.

 

[Cloned]

Don't have time to look to see why not, so who says no to a Bouchard for Dobson trade?

No.

That’s a lateral move at best and probably a downgrade.

 

[Old Boys Club]

He's going for the middle part curtains that the tik-tok e-boys rock.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

He really wants to play for Canada, nothing but respect for that.

It's too bad its a stupid tourney the NHL is putting on to increase revenue, the same league that doesnt care or protect the stars.

 

[McTedi]

I’m no f***ing doubter, I responded to a post implying McD is saving it for the playoffs when you butt in.

Sorry I couldn't read the entire GDT of your point.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Last period at home til March 4th make it count guys

 

[KlefDown]

not gonna lie it would be nice if mcdavid and ekholm didn't play much in the four nations and just took the time off to rest/recover in anticipation of a deep run

 

[oobga]

I heard something before they cut to channel that bob said "my hair" at the end.

I didnt catch everything.

Haha. It looked dangerously ungreased by bob standards.

Pickard is just as bad as Skinner technically.

Just the other way of the spectrum.

Skinner cant move at all, and Pickard moves way too much, hes sliding all over the place half the game.

He is such an amazing hockey player and skater

I remember his first playoff game against CGY, I was like WTF, who is this kid? He looked so good and smooth

This is very accurate lol.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Wow Gene that was a stupid question

To me that is an ego thing. Just play the guy who looks better at the current time, then switch when that guy falters.

 

[dssource]

Let's go win a period.

 

[rboomercat90]

See knob finally woke up and pulled stu for once

I hope he gets asked about this after the game. Considering he never pulls Skinner and we’ve seen a lot of first periods like this from him, i’d like to hear what it was specifically that he saw tonight to make him think it was necessary.

 

[Cloned]

How have they not fixed the shot counter lmao

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Pooshart for Dobson. Who says no?

Damn that's a long time ! Wow
