GDT: Game #81: Kings @ Oilers - 8 PM - Amazon Prime

[Morpheus]

Tier 2 fan, reporting for duty.
I’ll be going to the game tonite.
Last time I was live was the Sens in 2021.
Gonna hit up a restaurant on the way.
Support local. No Bobby Nix burger for me.
Hoping for a Josh Brown scrap tonite.
I have also been known to see a lot of first goals as an oiler/ first NHL goals when I do attend games…haven’t gone much since they moved from Northlands.

Game day tune:

There was an optional skate today so I’m not sure what the lines are tonite:





Looks like Philp & Ryan were sent to the Bake (paper trans?) to allow the call up for Josh Brown.

Who's Hutson and how good is he?

 

[jukon]

With Hutson on the roster are we still the oldest team in the league?

 

[yukoner88]

Always interesting to see how a college kid does when he's making the the direct jump to the NHL.

 

[Tarus]

Preseason roster in April, should be fun

 

[Louis Cypher]

So Hudson can play in the playoffs?

 

[BIeucheeseWithWings]

Another game that ends around 11. Yay. On Prime, no less.

 

[dssource]

Can we just forfeit? No more injuries please.

 

[Oilslick941611]

No.

It will take a minor miracle to win this one in regulation.

If I wasn't such a glutton for punishment I'd find something else to do instead of watching what I'm sure is going to be an absolute snooze fest (win or lose).

You never know. We were all saying the same thing before the Jets game.

Depends on whether Derek Ryan and Perry are playing. The Oilers are not too old overall. Just a lot of players in that 29-33 bracket and not many young guys. They lost Holloway, Broberg and McLeod to boot.

 

[Shizuka]

So Hudson can play in the playoffs?

I had this question earlier, too. The answer is no, since he was not on their reserve list at the TDL. So he will play tonight, burn a year off his ELC and is 1 year closer to FA status (perhaps why he signed here, the Oilers were willing to do this). An interesting bet to make, but ok given their dearth of prospects bubbling up in the system. Perhaps he can contribute meaningfully next season, but who knows.

I updated the injury list.

Thought you were a goalie lol

 

[Drivesaitl]

lol at Prime Sucks Monday and the Oilers pull Connor McDavid and are icing about half their starting lineup. haha

Mind you they're doing this for a homegame so not entirely cool to the home fans. Should've pulled McD in the Winnipeg game.

Not even gonna watch this one. God speed AHL Oilers.

Too bad Tyler. Its a fix!

I am

Those damn sites get everything wrong

Meh it's tradition to rest guys near the end

Although usually it's the away games that have the depleted roster in preseason haha

Edit: Although I full endorse this approach. It might be a psychological advantage to us if LA wins this one

Drove by the old coliseum, hitting up a place I haven’t been to in a decade:

 

[Chet Manley]

Going to begrudgingly watch this on Prime instead on my superior DVR. Everyone/bot/shill has an opinion but truely don't understand the amount of boosters of their production/on-air personalities. The camera work/crowd coverage looks exactly the same as the Sportsnet crew yet someone will say it looks way better. Why isn't the world made for me anymore and F U CLOUD.

hows the prices? havent been in forever

 

[Drivesaitl]

Reasonable prices in respect of the servings offered. Decent place for steaks, Pizza, and whatever I get I have a Greek Salad from there as well and the meal size is enough for a table of people. That said my info is on about half a dozen yrs ago so maybe some has changed.

The people doing the amazon intermissions also have never seen hockey before.

Id be more worried about the kings trying to injure McDavid.

I dont mind him not playing tonight
