GDT: Game #70 - Kraken @ Oilers - 8PM - All Decks On Hand

[MessierThanThou]

Skinner on the top line and RNH as 3C would solve so much depth issues for this team in the playoffs. When everyone is healthy they should run:

Skinner-Mcdavid-Hyman
Frederic-Drai-Kane
Podz- RNH- Arvi
Brown- Henrique- Perry

I like this. I'd swap Brown for Max Jones against meaner opponents. And Perry for Kapanen against faster opponents.

Debrusk looks like a balloon lmao

 

[Cloned]

In all seriousness, it's been refreshing to see the powerplay actually putting the puck on net and not trying to defer to McDrai all the time.

Whole game has been refreshing because players are actually getting ice time and RNH knows he actually can play offense again

 

[MoontoScott]

Good 2nd half of that period but I think the boys will need 2 more goals in the 3rd to win it.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

The McDrai injuries might be a blessing in disguise if they come back healthy. We can't afford to have any passengers when they are out. Nuge, Skinner, Henrique and Hyman are all stepping their games up.

Just thinking that--needs a new suit.

 

[CupofOil]

Nuge is much better at center this season driving a line, contrary to past years weirdly enough, so he needs to stay right there.

Wish Nuge played like this every night. Mind you, the Kraken are underwater most of the time.

 

[McTedi]

One more at least and no freebies for the opposition. Guys are working hard, can't let up.

Nuge # 1 draft pick showing off ...hiss hiss

He went 1st overall in a draft that had Kucherov, Scheifele and JT Miller. Obviously I'd prefer all three but the potential has always been there for higher highs.

Great time for Nuge and Jeff Skinner to explode.

Imagine if this team had a goalie?!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

You mean biz doesnt know who RNH's billet was?

No f***ing shit you snake

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Must be painful for McLean to talk positively about the oilers

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Nuge is much better at center this season driving a line, contrary to past years weirdly enough, so he needs to stay right there.

With McDavid slightly off his game and Hyman so inconsistent he’s been struggling to be the glue guy on the top line against the other teams best.

We know he works well as a facilitator and needs a worker bee (Hyman and now Podkolzin). The 92-93-33 has all the pieces on paper to be successful.

 

[Duke74]

Are we getting more power plays with McDrai out?

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Has Nuge been misused all season? Looks way better at center.

 

[tardigrade81]

You wouldn't

Nuge isn't either! Having a game !

 

[McTedi]

Crazy to see Biz being all business on the panel, such a character on spitting chicklets.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Canucks outshot the Rangers 39-12 and lost. Hahahaha

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Crazy to see Biz being all business on the panel, such a character on spitting chicklets.

Got to appeal to the idiots nowadays.

 

[Pip]

Leave this RNH line together going forward.

 

[MoontoScott]

One more at least and no freebies for the opposition. Guys are working hard, can't let up.

They can't sit on the lead with this type of goaltending. The last minute of that period looked shaky in the crease again. They have to be relentless on the forecheck in the 3rd.

 

[iCanada]

Juan Guy coming up huge tonight.

Nugget looks great centering a top line again.

Not elite but still damn good.

 

[Pip]

Biz needs some tighter pants

 

[Mcnofool6110]

If Keefe doesn't want Kovacevic, we can give them a slightly used Cam Dineen
