This is golden or something.

RNH and me owe him dinner.

So does everyone that quoted your post before the game ended. Doubling down on the jinx.

If they do that then they aren’t trading for a top 6 forward and just depth forwards then.

Well they could trade Foegele if the top 6 forward is retained. I have no idea what their plan is though.

Flightless birds grounded!

I'm so Gene Principe on these nights.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I wonder if he knows what hes saying

I bet it’s some sort of “Meow-game” he has going with Louie only it’s things that sound dirty but trying to be innocuous about it.

Great coaching by Knoblauch to start Skinner vs Seattle and Pickard Pittsburgh. It worked out perfectly.

I was worried about that but I’ll let the NHL coach figure it out and just watch.

Dammit Nuge! I have you in my hockey pool!

Ahh. I hope that doesn’t mean they are planning on replacing Ceci with a bottom pairing guy and having Desharnais in the top 4.

Well, Squinty eyes Bob was talking about a depth dman on tv lolll

I can see them doing this. "Hey, lets throw DD up and get a cheap #6 dman"

Wouldn’t mind seeing Pickard get Boston on Tuesday

I'm not sure. Kulak-Ceci were getting more minutes through 2. I missed the first period, so don't know if they were getting tougher matchups.

Nurse-Desharnais seemed to get hemmed in more often, and the team didn't have as much going offensively when they were on.

We are apparently adding a top 6 F , a bottom 6 C and a Dman.

Foegele and Ceci both bumped their trade value tonight and it would really be a shame to trade away either if they continue to contribute like they did tonight.

Matheson making some really strange looks in the background during Foegele's interview. A total freak

Pickard has stoned the Penguins before. I wonder if KK knew about that coming from the East. He really seems to have their number. What a save on Crosby among many others. Even better because he got the first save AND the rebound off Sidney Crosby.

We have 5 more back to back games left so Pickard is getting atleast 5 more starts... next one being PIT again

I think the teams plans are this

A) Top 6 winger, 4th line center, 7th d
B) 3rd line center, top 4 d
C) 4c, 7th D

We are apparently adding a top 6 F , a bottom 6 C and a Dman.

Foegele and Ceci both bumped their trade value tonight and it would really be a shame to trade away either if they continue to contribute like they did tonight.

That’s what they are LOOKING to do, not necessarily what they will accomplish.

I think they were getting more minutes because the game was in hand. Also because of the Pens were to get a PP Nurse and Vinny would be the top D unit to start the kill.

This PGT has as much energy as the Penguins roster tonight

 

[Drivesaitl]

Pickard is an odd story. Everytime I see him he looks good or at least reasonable in net. Seems to have solid fundamentals, good reactions, skill on pucks. Why did this guy never get a chance anywhere?

Want him to see some more games. Why not? Skinner might need some rest at some point.

Nuge, Kane, and Janmark all -1 in this one. Kind of funny.

Funnier part is that Kane has an assist but is still a minus player where Oilers scored no PP goals and let in just 1.
As rare as they get

 

[Drivesaitl]

Is catching the Canucks a possibility now?
23 games left for the Oilers with 10 vs playoff teams.
19 games left for the Cannots with 11 vs playoff teams.

Looking at the Nucks schedule I'm more thinking we might bag first than I was last year chasing Vegas. Least with Nucks we know these are first place imposters.

 

[LTIR]

Or maybe he didn't want to throw one of his guys under the bus... Ceci was a -6 in last GP prior to tonight. He basically got demoted to 3rd pairing

I'm pumped but Senior Citizen pump only gets so energetic...

It is kind of strange. He seems to track the puck well and has pretty good athleticism.

I mean he was projected to be a good goaltender at one point (when he was with Colorado?). But then he had a rough year and was kind of thrown to the side.
