GDT: Game #62: Habs @ Oilers - 7 PM - SNW

[MoontoScott]

Hyman, RNH, Ardvisson, Podkolzin, Kapanen and Janmark are all completely useless
put in J. Skinner next time

and please get healthy Frederic

I think Hyman has done some good things tonight. His screen on that 2nd goal was essential.

 

[McTedi]

Agreed. I watched a bunch bunch of his clips. He and Jones should be a perfect match. Oilers have too many finesse p***yes that straight up suck this season.

Oilers definitely needed some energy guys. Our bottom six is lacking in all categories. Frederic brings a lot of intangibles, can score, hit and fight. Jones looks like he could stick in the lineup as well.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Isn’t that what he’s doing already?

Couldn't even imagine how uncomfortable it would be with all that hair. Looks ridiculous. Gene the Lion.

 

[russ99]

Hasn't been much but imagine dragging Connor Brown and Janmark around. Not exactly offense there. Jan and Brown scored all of 6 goals combined last season...

Yeah they’re not there for offense, they’re the own zone start line in the postseason. But that doesn’t excuse Henrique, he’s had good point production before.

 

[MoontoScott]

And the coverage wasn't great either

A number of odd man rushes again--frustrating.

 

[Vagabond]

I like Gage. He's level headed and sees sh!t like we do. Lol

 

[snipes]

McDavid can show up at any time now

Is he a rental?

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Is Brown playing tonight?

He was a great comeback story but he hasn’t been bringing much for a while. He’s not a sure fire roster player after tomorrow.

 

[russ99]

McDavid can show up at any time now

I kind of feel for him, he’s struggling out there and still played 14 minutes, and tried to make things happen with the puck.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Is Brown playing tonight?

In a different time zone..

I had gelled hair like that in the 80’s. it was uncomfortable.

 

[McTedi]

Looked great at times in the playoffs and got rewarded with contracts. Now just slumbering through the season. Hopefully some new guys make these guys fight for their jobs.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Praying for a miracle but how amazing would it be if they not only landed a f***ing goalie but somehow offloaded these total boat anchors in the bottom nine for living and breathing players.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Jones feels like he belongs on this team over Arvidsson, Brown, Janmark, and Kapanen. They are all replacement level right now.

Pretty wild that we got Kapanen on waivers from the Blues, he played his socks off from then til February. Now he's caught the same malaise that seems to be affecting everyone but Draisaitl.

Wake up with your head stuck to the pillow...

 

[rboomercat90]

You must have missed the second intermission of the Ducks game.

 

[MoontoScott]

In a different time zone..

Joking aside, he's gone further South as the season has progressed.

Maybe Jones and Frederic bump him from the lineup.

 

[fireantz]

Jones and Perry should be rewarded with a few shifts with Draisaitl

For sure. Let’s get these guys playing hard again.

Tbh id rather have Kap on the top line over RNH.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Dineen owes us a goal. Hope he succeeds on his next attempt.

Maybe it's the realization that any mistake they make will wind up in net and they feel totally defeated? Would love to see this team playing in front of an actual NHL goalie...doesn't even have to be an elite one, just someone we know would be able to land a job on one of 31 other teams. I'm not so confident Skinner could.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT! Skinner stopped a wraparound!

 

[dssource]

Win a period, oilers.

 

[russ99]

Would rather try the guy with a goalscoring track record who’s somehow in Knoblauch’s doghouse,

 

[K1984]

All that because Bouch needed to send a f***ing stupid stretch pass to nowhere.
