GDT: Game #57 - Blues@Oilers - 6:30 PM

[Broberg Speed]

You care to eloborate?

All of the AHL hockey I've watched this season looked like crap and I've watched a lot of minor league hockey over the years so I have something to compare this season with.

Rodrigue flat out doesn't look as good as Campbell.

 

[CupofOil]

I'd also like to see it, but I doubt he works there long-term. He lacks finish and is very inconsistent creating offence. Need a trade badly.

It's a better option than Janmark is what I'm saying. McLeod has had like 10 really good games this season and all have been on the Drai line.

RNH-McDavid-Hyman
Kane-Draisaitl-McLeod

Seems pretty obvious to me. You can flip RNH and Kane if needed.

City is pretty big now though. If one is driving in from say southside, Westend etc or working outlying areas getting off at 5 and being in arena as 6:30 would be tough. In these road conditions we have now basically commuting anywhere is +hr drivetime.

Edmonton had a big dump of snow on mostly Sunday and the city still hasn't been clearing many roads. ruts 10inches deep on even main roads.

Was just looking up the city road clearing app. The entire area of Millwoods and Meadows has ZERO plows operating right now. We're on a bus route and we had one slight grading since the snow storm. Was just a quick pass thru. Maybe a slight dusting of sand since, on a bus route.

Not sure why you’re worried about it. You’re retired and don’t go to the games anyhow.

xGF that period were 1.51 Edmonton to 1.02 St Louis yet somehow we're down a goal.

Must be the water or the leadership or the rift in the dressing room or something. I just don't understand how this keeps happening?

 

[russ99]

Yeah, his numbers look really solid so I'd love to know why he says that. If it's just diarrhea of the mouth that would make more sense

Same reason as why other teams passed on him, he’s not a 6’4” behemoth filling up the net, but he’s an excellent shot stopper at every level he’s played at. He’ll be backup here next season.

 

[Broberg Speed]

He’s a better goalie in the AHL than Broberg is a defender.

there you go big guy... two busts

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Oilers got better as the period wore on but awful start and goaltending cost us that period

 

[LTIR]

Hyman has been our best acquisition in the Holland era (alongside Ekholm). Its too bad he's struck out on almost all his other acquisitions.

I want Kane to get one.. that would be something

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

I would take turncoat dirtbrusk over singh. Where are they (him and JM) tonight

 

[Mr Kot]

So the oilers are masochists, right? Need to be punished before being energized

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Oilers better be interested in another goalie.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Yeah, his numbers look really solid so I'd love to know why he says that. If it's just diarrhea of the mouth that would make more sense

He has the 7th best s% while having the 18th best GAA. Which tells you that the team is very much crap defensively but he is still saving a crap ton.

Lmfao it was nearly this close!!!

Rodrigue is statistically one of the best goalies in the AHL on a bad team.

 

[iCanada]

I'd settle for a shooter tutor and a bag of pucks.

 

[Leonardlizard]

Maybe we're all masochistic. I'll get my vise set to my couch up for the 2nd

 

[Oilers in NS]

I hope Holland gets off @Oilers in NS toilet and makes a few trades soon. This team lacks.

Definitely would like to see a team take Ceci, Campbell, . Wouldn’t bother me to see multiple picks go out the door. We need a tip 4 RD and a top 6 RW. Also , need a really good depth player in bottom 6. We can’t even mention goaltending
SHITTY

 

[GMofOilers]

Another first period of giving up nothing and being behind

 

[sepHF]

McDavid is on pace to

McDavid isn't the threat he was last year... His shot sucks, his passing has been off all year and quite frankly it speaks highly of him to be this bad this year and still up near the top of the league, but something is going on with him.

Hyman is a beauty, Im glad we got him, 110% effort every shift.

He’s on pace to be the fourth player in NHL history to record 100 assists

I don’t think we should be criticizing his passing

He is definitely being way too selective about shooting though. I know I’ve said it 100 times but I still think he’s injured and wouldn’t be surprised to see an off season surgery or something on his wrist

All speculation but I feel like that could explain the teams funk at the start of the year, the boys knew he was hurt and it brought everyone down mentally

RNH-McDavid-Hyman

Don't think we will be seeing Kane-Draisaitl on same line anytime soon

 

[Broberg Speed]

Rodrigue is statistically one of the best goalies in the AHL on a bad team.

It doesn't matter. Wait and see. I'd trade Broberg for help at the deadline and I'd trade Rodrigue as well.

 

[RattsSSV]

Would love to get Carrier out of Nashville.

Just copy and paste this every game.

This is the last dance for this group. If Holland has money (picks) in his wallet at the end of the night then he doesn’t know how to have a good time, TDL -wise. Spend it all Ken. If we have one pick in the next draft that’s one pick too many.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Dowd.. who's that?
