[Le Magnifique 66]

We are going to lose in 2 different threads?

 

[SEALBound]

Their roster looks as hodgepodged as ours. The difference is that their generational talents are in their mid-20s, not their late 30s.

They got merged, I didn't see the one posted and you didn't post it in the GDT sign up thread.

All good.

Hyman is pointless to start the season so naturally he's gonna have 2G + 1A tonight

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Poor Bloom!!

Friday December 20th 2019 !! Beat them 5-2

Since then,

The Oilers hold a record of 7-3-3 in those 13 previous meetings and have outscored the Penguins 51-35 – including six straight wins and back-to-back victories last season with a 6-1 win on home ice on March 3 and a 4-0 shutout out at the PPG Paints Arena on March 10

I feel bad for Bloom but by the numbers he is our best goalie this season.

Hyman is pointless to start the season so naturally he's gonna have 2G + 1A tonight

Only 2 Goals because Pittsburgh won't give him a 3rd for the empty net since we are too far back.


--
My score prediction is 7-2 -7 for the Oilers.

I’ll up your Hyman with a Bunting!

 

[Victor Z]

The Oilers have scored 14 goals all season -- TWO at even strength. And 10 on the PP.

EDIT: disregard, was reading the stats wrong. They've *allowed* 10 PPG.

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]

Glass with 2g 1a, sid hatty, rust 3 penalties and own goal, Geno eye rolls sully, Jarry throws the remote at his television set.

Oilers 10, Pens 5.

Malkin epic eye roll incoming!!!!

 

[Borgir]

If the poop Oilers can't beat the even poopier Penguins, it's time for them to tear it down and try another rebuild.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Good luck Blomqvist!

 

[tom_servo]

Let's go.. *checks notes*.. Pens!

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Rust really pulled a Kunitz with his career. Came up through the ranks as a buzzsaw, high energy guy who played well away from the puck. Then he found his way onto Sid's wing, scored a buncha points and became an absolutely miserable shitshow when he's not showing up on the scoreboard.

Blomqvist in net was the right choice, I am shocked this coach would also see that.

 

[vodeni]

This L1 plays no defense, just don’t care transitioning back

Is it? The last thing you want is your goalie of the future being shelled for 6 goals behind this putrid defence

When Malkin was struggling last year, my goodness, the incessant discussion about him by the same media wankers and how often Sullivan dicked around with his line vs Sid is hilarious.

Somehow he thinks both of them struggling will magically make them figure it out.

 

[End of Line]

I’m just expecting another shit show

Geno bending down on face off , ready to play

Kunitz was great for a long time and only became that way in his last 2 seasons, at 36.

Rust has been pulling this shit for a couple of seasons now. He has a hot streak, makes blokes forget he’s become this one dimensional winger at ES, then he goes on a cold streak, gets hurt for 20+ games or so, then comes back, cold, has a hot streak, rinse repeat.

Geno bending down on face off , ready to play

Geno is so desperately trying to just do what he can to help, he’s going to burn himself out this early in the season because Dubas refuses to see the issues.
