GDT: Game #77: Oilers @ Ducks - 8:30 PM - SN

[MessierThanThou]

My expectations for this are low, but my excitement level is high, entirely due to seeing O-Rod get the start. And if we win this...we clinch.

It would be insane if we somehow beat the Ducks without McDrai after struggling against these guys with a healthy lineup. Our best chance is for Rodrigue to stand on his head and steal this one. If he plays as well as he did in that one period against Seattle he just might...I'm not betting on that to happen though. At least one goal from someone in orange and blue would be fantastic.

Hope the orange and blue goal in Anaheim net and not on Rodrigue

 

[Cloned]

I wonder who gets injured tonight or aggravates an injury

They should rush Skinner back.

 

[BertMcDrai]

At what time must the team leak their lineup?
I am 45 minutes away from Ducks stadium and would go if one of Drai and/or McD are playing.
Don't want to see "Another Kings game" with 25$ a beer without seeing one of both

 

[McDrai]

They should rush Skinner back.

Nah, they’re too stupid to do that

They haven't stolen our blue...yet. I miss the purple and aqua from the 90s, glad they brought the logo back though.

We have some ass kicking to do!

And I'm not talking about the Sox kicking the Jays ass. I mean that too.

But oilers too.

 

[Vagabond]

They're not even dressing a full lineup?

I see 11 & 6..

Why? No callup?

Yes

 

[Drivesaitl]

“Appear”

Compared to the look of a late night slasher film or House of a Thousand Corpses the injuries don't appear that serious.

Not sure I'm understanding all of this thread @Morpheus but thanks always for doing these.



Stuart Skinner Out HEAD. Always makes me giggle a bit. Easily amused.

Salary cap

 

[Drivesaitl]

Any news if Drai or McD are playing tonight?

I only know both were on the ice this morning.

About as likely as me listening to Pat Boone.

 

[Vagabond]

Salary cap

You'd think they'd ltir Klingberg at least so they can make a minor league callup. He's been out a while and the 10 games would've been fine.

Connor Brown gets an ironman this season. Our luck. Mind you he sure makes sure not to do anything that would hurt himself out there.

This joke had a 2second burn to it before I realized what you meant. Well done sir!

The deadpan is even better because I didn't look at the post you were replying to.

He hurts every offensive opportunity when he touches the puck in the o zone

Reminds of the what they used to say about how Inge Hammarstrom could go into a corner with a dozen eggs and not break any of them.

Indicative of how he plays. On the periphery. His only risk of injury is slipping in the shower.

 

[GMofOilers]

One of my favorite broadcaster ugh RIP

He hurts my eyes but theres no eye drops or anything for that. Just have to endure the pain. At least Stewey isn't playing. I can't have too much.

Bro, we might need you for oilers GM. Can you be gm/player?

Jeez wtf. Only 68.

Inge Hammarstrong. lol. That was our sarcastic name for him. Him and 5lbs of fish could get you 5lbs of fish.


Reminds me of ages ago when Wild Bill Hunter would stock up an Alberta Olders lineup with a buncha Bob Falkenbergs and Val Fonteynes. They wouldn't do a f***ing thing but he'd be able to point out this guy plays D and look his hockey card said he was in the NHL a lot... Lets just say the Alberta Oilers had about a dozen hockey cards nobody wanted but at least we had Jim Harrison.

That Alberta Oilers team. hard to love that inaugural year.

Strange they had a player from Scotland. Not sure what they were scouting over there other than Aged Scotch.

Believe me, as I continue to drench my eyes in drops, you don't want that right now.

LOL. I wasn't anywhere close to being alive yet, but were you around to watch Jacques Plante in Oiler colors?

Even in his mid-40s I'm sure our net was in better shape with him in it...
