GDT: Game #63: Stars @ Oilers - 8:00 PM - HNIC

[oobga]

When I looked up Walman after we traded for him, I was like 6’1”. He’s not that big. Then I noticed he was 220 lbs. He’s def solid out there.

Those are kinda like Drai numbers. Some guys just built like they’re made of bricks.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Alright, finish them off.

 

[dssource]

Solid through 40. Let's see a strong finish.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

I think we have 4 or 5 dmen all in the top 30 for shots/60.

Yup. With Walman on board, we have 5 d-men in the top 50 for shots. I'm not sure where the myth that our defensemen don't shoot came from.

Unless you're one of the few clowns where every move the oilers do is negative. a couple posters come to mind.

There was more than a few clowns to be fair. This place was a disaster on deadline day with only some of it justified, a lot was way over the top negativity.

 

[Pip]

Just did - great play all around. Really well done by Hyman to control that puck too.


Whoa whoa whoa. I've really liked Walman over his career (was one of many posters who was incredibly puzzled when Detroit traded him to San Jose) but idc how good he's been, 2 periods isn't nearly enough to call anyone an Ekholm-level acquisition haha.

I do wonder where the defencemen slot in with a healthy Ekholm and Klingberg though. Klingberg likely the 7D, but which lefty plays on the right?

I gotta think they go

Ekholm-Bouchard
Nurse-Walman
Kulak-Emberson
Klingberg

Then you have both Klingberg and Stecher if injuries arise who are both very serviceable

 

[MoontoScott]

Otter is streaky and always has been. Binnington is too. Nothing is guaranteed. That's why the Oilers can still go all the way.

 

[Cloned]

That was a nice read by Walman to breakup the cycle.

Edit: Wait is he playing on the right?

Fair enough. The sample size is too small. But I'm excited.

The captain said he was excited 4 times in a row this morning so I think I'm just echoing that haha.

 

[McTedi]

He can still be traded. Just can’t play in the playoffs

Why on earth would any team conceivably do that?

 

[oobga]

McDavid feeling it tonight almost sweet end to end rush finisher.

 

[RattsSSV]

Big glove Stu

 

[Duke74]

We will wait for Mitch to sign for 12/yr. He would be great with Leon

Jokes aside, best winger Draisaitl would ever have.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

AY DIOS MIO X2

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

What a save
I thought he never made big saves?

 

[tardigrade81]

What a save ! Tyler like save there

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Okay Skinner, that was a great stop. Well done.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Wow what a save!

 

[Jumptheshark]

I just want the win.

That being said? How pissed are redwings fans at Stevie Y. Trades a 2nd to move him only to see him flipped for a first

 

[Pip]

That’s a great save

 

[Cloned]

Rantanen just getting owned in all aspects tonight lol

 

[dssource]

Wow Stu!

 

[Canovin]

Rantanen: got traded to the wrong team

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Mcdavid and Stu dropping jaws
