GDT: Go to 11: Leafs @ Oilers - 7:00 PM. SNWest - Jan 16, 2024

[Oilers in NS]

Unrelated to this game but a team we r chasing. Let me guess, he is out till playoffs and they will go out and grab someone and then Eichel is back for playoffs GM 1

Brown tends to sewer everything he touches. Hopefully getting Kane away from him is the jolt he needs to get back on track.

brown is the catalyst of the team........

if you play bad you play with brown, so when you get out of the dog house you do whatever you can to not have to go back there. Kane 1g 1a 2pims and 6 shots

Have other weeknight Toronto games been later like this?
Always seems like they get the early time slot bo matter what
Keep playing with the same attention to detail defensively and offensively he chances will come. Boys will be ready for this one.

At the end of the day win or lose as long as EDM makes the playoffs, are clicking and get good goaltending (just like this the team has been getting lately) that's all that matters to me. The actual post season. lol

I hear you.
Might as well enjoy some sweetness along the way.

 

[jukon]

Extremely correct post. Love the book stuffer but christ I sometimes wonder how any guest ever repeats an appearance!

Also not sure if said yet but I think Clouder plays 3LW tonight? Or may have heard wrong.

Same can be said about Lavoie in the NHL.

 

[tardigrade81]

Would love to hammer these guys. It will be close. At least get a point

This f***er better not be faking it. I would not put it past cut-throat McCrimmon either to do exactly what you are implying. K tin foil hat off, but not really in this integrity-less League that Bettman has created.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Imagine being stuck on the leafs and playing in Toronto. I feel bad for their core

When I look at the leafs that's not a team that wants to win, that's a team where your top players care more about their brand than actually winning.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Would like to see the bottom six pot a goal or two tonight.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Hope Knob is switching up the bottom six, they've been MIA for a while.

MIRACULOUS RECOVERY

At this point I'm not sure what to expect. It feels like we're getting closer to an actual loss each game. The last few have been some ugly wins that we barely managed to squeak out, which while a little concerning, is also kind of reassuring since those types of games are typically outright losses in years prior.

The optimist in me says that the energy is going to eb and flow, and instead of taking 3 losses in a row like after the last winning streak, they instead decided to just take it easy for 3 games while still giving just enough to win, to get their energy back before another long winning run.

Some things never change…

Man I’m gonna have to stay up late.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

Put this baby in Crush Control and let’s cruise to the 2 pts.

 

[KCC]

Is McLeod out again or something? Kane showed nothing playing on the second line in Montreal he just needs better third linemates.

I think Kane is expected to start the game there. Why, I don't know. Especially with McLeod back (I think he's back anyways). May because they generated the game tying goal last game? But they didn't do anything otherwise. They did not look good. But I think when the game progresses Kane will be bumped back down. lol

Knights aren't really comfortable enough in their spot to be parking guys like Eichel. They're not in a playoff spot by a whole lot at the moment.

Back to the Oilers its ridiculous that only 3mths of schedule left and we still 43 games left. The rest of the way, on average thats pretty much a game every 2nd night. Compressed schedule the rest of the way except ASG break. Gonna be a lot of Back2Backs.

After ASG it gets real compressed. 37game nights and 36 nights off. Ridiculous. The NHL basically f***ing us over.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Oilers have such a weird schedule; 3 games behind most teams

I changed time zone up this way.

 

[mkatcherin00]

I always see what it is. These guys just write "Lower body surgery" lol

He will be back perfectly fine in game 1 and Vegas will now add massive deadline rentals for an unfair advantage

Meanwhile we still have Campbell 5 million we can't even spend lol

I am curious what the penalty calls will look like tonight. TO got 3 PP's in the first period in a row against DET after yelling at the league about COlorado

They are like us in general. They do not get many.

I wish they would come out with some rule against this.

 

[Drivesaitl]

9 clubs have played 5 more games than the Oilers. 11 more teams have played 4 more games than the Oilers.

How ridiculous is that?

I wish they would come out with some rule against this.

One way you prevent this being an advantage for other clubs is to gain the similar advantage. Trouble is the Oilers never give themselves the kind of space in standings to even do something like this if the NHL allowed us to do it. We're in a dogfight often due to our poor 2-3mths opening seasons. But Vegas too have lost most of any margin they had. Standings really compressed right now. Only Nucks now are in a comfortable spot.
