I prefer this

 

[Broberg Speed]

CP down?

The Calgary Flames are doing alright for now.

Good for them.

What does that have to do with tonight’s game?


I’d Swap Podkolzin and Hyman.

This is HF Oil and you spent years of your life making thousands of posts telling us all what a crappy hockey player Broberg was.

The Oilers find themselves short on quality defensemen.

 

[McHelpus]

Please stay out of the Box. Stamkos on the powerplay always kills us

 

[FlameChampion]

Please stay out of the Box. Stamkos on the powerplay always kills us

And please score some PP goals tonight

Funny looking at team stats. Both clubs are pretty similar.

Poor goal metrics despite good shot metrics. PP both anemic.

Goals allowed are basically worst in the league.

Two of the better face off teams.

Only difference is our PK is dreadful and theres is decent.

Broberg isnt a quality Defensemen and would have no impact on our record.

I'm willing to watch and see for myself. You should scrutinize Broberg with an expansive mind.

 

[McShogun99]

Please stay out of the Box. Stamkos on the powerplay always kills us

He doesn't have Kucherov to set him up anymore.

ive seen 3 of the blues games. Personally I enjoy broberg getting secondary assists and sitting on the bench when the puck goes in the net, or that hilarious stretch last game where he flailed at a puck and managed to get an assist with a poke choke that lost possession and went through 3 other blues players. all of his assist have no impact on the play.Its just a lucky streak and his underlaying numbers in the D zone are awful and his ice time looks to show he has been demoted to the bottom pairing. nice 4.6 million investment. Easy walk from that contract

Not to mention the double minor he took at the end of the game sealing a loss for them.

He’s getting points but has been pretty lucky. Good for him.

I don't expect Broberg to rack up the points but scoring is good for the confidence.

Underlying numbers on the St. Louis Blues is about as underlying as you can get. Without context they mean next to nothing.

 

[oXo Cube]

Hot take but I find the people who cry about losing Broberg in every thread and the people rooting for Broberg to struggle in every thread to both be equally annoying.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

Nashville is desperate for a win but feeling confident we get another notch in the win column. Could be another OT matchup based on our goaltending but the wheels are in motion after that Philly game. Hopefully the post game thread could be titled after the best Ryan Smyth quote… “I found my legs boys”

It's actually impressive how awful that show is.

 

[dssource]

Let's hope the team carries the mojo over from the back half of last game and gets going early and often against these guys. Drai 4 points tonight?

 

[Drivesaitl]

I grew up a hard rock fan, but seriously I would listen to this Disco over that every time

Fair enough. No argument from me. Cannons is simplistic, limited instrumentation and production but in context of todays music isn't so bad. Stands to reason we were absolutely spoiled musically from around 1965-through decades. I'm just happy now if I find anything I even want to listen to. Theres only so many times I can listen for the 200th time to all my classics albums.

The general consent with Cannons is at least they can get a decent base guitar beat down with easily listenable keyboards They harken past without being it. Every member of the Cannons band would prefer Fleetwood Mac as well. heh

Back seat rhythm. The best kind.

Memories of drive ins...

Man, everything was better back then.

Okay, there are trade proposal threads and shit for that. This thread is about the game tonight.

I didn’t mind it after awhile. Just kind of treated it as a fantasy show and not lotr.

The loving orcs that have families and who don’t want to go to war has to be the dumbest shit out there though.

I find it pointless to talk about a player that isn’t on the team in a thread about a hockey game that the player isn’t even on. Don’t need EVERY thread derailed.

I’d prefer to just not talk about him anymore.

Agreed. I actually enjoy the show especially if you dismiss all the liberties the writers are taking with the LOTR canon, and like you said, just enjoy it as a pure fantasy show, but the "friendly" Orcs thing they were trying to show there was beyond stupid.

Anyhoo, Draisaitl with an 8 point night against his personal bitches.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

It's actually impressive how awful that show is.

The only thing I actually enjoyed was Tom Bombadil but holy hell was the Gandalf revival ever corny. I guess I had way too much hope they would go the blue wizard route. Lame

I could see him being a topic in a STL game playing against the blues but this doesn't make any sense in this thread. Its the one topic poster, probably Brobergs mom.

 

[Oilers333]

We lost 3 of our 5 fastest players. Holloway, Mcloed and Foegele. Team speed has dropped significantly. Our defense is much worse off without Ceci, Desharnias and Broberg, also have Nurse with the anchor contract falling further and further off a cliff.

On top of that now begins the salary cap hell era which inevitably comes to any team possessing multiple stars worthy of 10-15% of the salary cap. The sad truth is if you look at history its pretty black and white that once the salary cap hell era begins with your stars getting paid mega contracts, the stanley cup window in turn closes quite abruptly. Not saying its not possible, just saying history shows its not very likely.
