GDT: Grand Ole Motley. Oilers v Predators - 6PM SNW

[CupofOil]

Top 6 bad, bottom 6 good

Theme of season

 

[McTedi]

Ya if McDavid dropped his goal production in half last year... I could see the same happening to Hyman as well.

He'll get it going, not sure he needs to convince anyone of that.

 

[tardigrade81]

Solid period.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Perry on the ice again for an Oiler goal. He's been consistent in creating net front chaos and revving high motor. Lots of concerns expressed about him on the roster. But he's been ready to go and engaged from game 1 puck drop.

Hyman is really struggling with his start. Looks slow.

 

[Missing smitty]

Lots of huge personal events and changes this short off-season. Timing is off to start the season. They'll get it together but they have been so sloppy with the details of the game. Key in my mind is to get Bouchard going and I think the team will start to go.

Lol, so cares about Bouchard when 22 million of your cap is doing diddly squat. I know they'll get it together, but this is the weirdest I've ever seen them

 

[McTedi]

Solid period.

Rough at times, the own zone giveaways need to stop.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Jossi basically did the something Arvidsson got a called for.

 

[KCC]

Need to see more outta Hyman, seems a step behind still.

He’s hesitating too much when he gets the puck and needs to be quicker with his reads.

Bouchard is going. Hes firing everything. They will start going eventually.

Rusty, team affliction. Too much party, not enough prep

 

[Pip]

Nuge is such an anchor rn

 

[JeffSkinner53]

McD slashed twice

Nhl refs when Connor's on the ice

 

[Oilslick941611]

Did the flames start 4-0 and decide not play anymore games? retire champions I guess. Feels like they haven't played in a week.

 

[booyakasha]

Bouchard keeps having games like this, and thus far this season, will be good for the Oilers in contract discussions.

 

[Mr Positive]

You can't even look at LeBron

In the NHL, you can intend to injure star players and probably avoid a suspension

When McDavid starts drawing calls there's no ending to the whining fans that cry about McDavid being a golden boy, or diving. It was the same for Crosby.

It would be nice if the league still took a stand to protect talent. Whenever it seems McDavid is invisible you just know that McDavid is getting hooked and held constantly

 

[Oilslick941611]

Nuge is such an anchor rn

Nuge needs to be the 3rd line centre where his defensive mindset and tepid aggression won't hurt the team

 

[Oilhawks]

NHL.com is slobbering over their "surprise entry" to the Super 16

Much wow, maybe they should hang a banner for that

They played 2 days ago lol

He kills any line he’s on. A 5M phony.

Good start, they will drop off. Not worried about them at all.

 

[Oilslick941611]

They played 2 days ago lol

you'd think they'd be playing tonight with the NHL.com web space dedicated to them

 

[nexttothemoon]

Ya Perry has been ok overall. Problem with guys like Ryan & Perry is they likely run out of gas over a long regular season and Oilers need someone like Philp/Savoie/Jarventie to hopefully be able to fill in for them.

 

[Mr Positive]

He kills any line he’s on. A 5M phony.

He's just on a bad stretch. He always comes through and he wouldn't have aged out yet

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Solid period.

Ugly for about 8 minutes but yeah, the rest was good.

 

[iCanada]

Nurse fed McCarron pretty good. Good to see.

He's at his best when he's got a little bit of that snarl. And I think the team as a whole needs a little more of that at the moment.
