GDT: Game #78: Blues @ Oilers - 8 PM - SN1

[1981 Oilers]

Nuge "sick" as he got a tummy-ache thinking about having to step up for once

(I kid, sorta)

Maybe we should put the gear on his horse

 

[94 Oil Drops]

That's nice but where's our boi Savoie?

 

[Drivesaitl]

A new hobby? I’m not the one who can’t understand that a team will look worse without 55% of their top 9 and their best D man

You don't get it.

 

[CycloneSweep]

That's nice but where's our boi Savoie?

He makes more than $875k so he can’t be called up.

 

[bone]

Where is Derek Ryan when you need him!

Makes too much to be recalled as an emergency.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

That's nice but where's our boi Savoie?

No cap space

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Cap rules are dumb this time of year. We have to play a man short before we can do an emergency recall and even then the player has to be $875K or less.

Just think. In 7 days there will be teams $20 million over the cap.

Gary's world.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Oilers projected lineup

Vasily Podkolzin — Noah Philp — Viktor Arvidsson
Zach Hyman — Adam Henrique — Corey Perry
Jeff Skinner — Mattias Janmark — Connor Brown
Kasperi Kapanen — Max Jones

Jake Walman — Evan Bouchard
Darnell Nurse — Troy Stecher
Brett Kulak — Ty Emberson

Calvin Pickard
Olivier Rodrigue

This is a lineup you’d expect Sept 20 vs the Jets in preseason.

My eyes flared up something fierce so I probably won’t be tuning in. Good lord are we depleted.

It’s technically the rule all year but teams usually don’t start the year at the cap.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Going to have to severely retool the forwards and goaltending in the off-season.

 

[GMofOilers]

Bob saying Mcdavid tonight is something to monitor and keeps mentioning it. He thinks he’s in

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Going to have to severely retool the forwards and goaltending in the off-season.

And the front office. And….

 

[Dirty Mind]

In my playoff fantasy
The Oilers sweep the Kings to complete the 4-3, 4-2, 4-1 pattern.

Then draw the Blues in the second round, courtesy of a 7-game upset vs the Knights.

Oilers pound them in 5 games and sing the Blues off the ice with “Hey hey goodbye” in the final minutes.

Dumb rules are dumb.

Yup. Playing short because of injuries only makes the roster players susceptible to more injuries. Makes sense why Wpg, Tor, Cal, Van etc all have their AHL in the same locale.

Take care Keith. Hopefully everything stabilizes soon for you. Any type of surgery sucks but eye surgery has to be top shelf.

Jesus. This reminds me of the time we had Will Acton as C
Looks like a preseason lineup (or regular season lineup from 2010 to 2015 lol)

 

[Dirty Mind]

Yikes. Hope this isn’t a humbling night.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Take care Keith. Hopefully everything stabilizes soon for you. Any type of surgery sucks but eye surgery has to be top shelf.

Doctor gave me some drops. One eye flared up yesterday then the other today. The first one feels much better, just waiting for the other to join it.

I had a follow up appointment yesterday and of course the eye starting hurting bad after the fact so I went in today to get it checked out… only for the other to start hurting after I left. Such is life.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Thank god there isn’t a game to game cap minimum

 

[MessierII]

That’s like the phoenix coyotes payroll worth of guys

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

It’s technically the rule all year but teams usually don’t start the year at the cap.

After the TDL your only allowed 4 callups I think is the difference. Either way it’s stupid when Dallas will be something like 20 mil over the cap in a weeks time.
