GDT: LXII | "2½ Hours Where Nothing Exciting Happens" | Oilers vs. Wild | 6:00PM | SN-OIL

[Hero]

Joining in for another game. Go Oilers!

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Some of these icing calls are iffy.

 

[SometimesY]

Nice to be in their end for a bit at least

 

[yukoner88]

Ever since Chabot was let go, Scrivens game has slowly come back. He's been great tonight

 

[Bryanbryoil]

We're a one line team right now. I like the play of Schultz, Klefbom and Marincin tonight. The fact that we are even in this game with all of our injuries is a testament to Nelson.

 

[Mr Positive]

I wonder if the icings are partly due to the ice there. It seems really good. Not much bouncing pucks

 

[McShogun99]

Unless they draft McEichel, I agree.

Or they could shelter McEichel on the third line with two veteran wingers.

 

[Nunymare]

Not too sure how many times it needs to be said, but please don't respond to trolls. Thanks.

 

[RattsSSV]

Klef's looking tired.

But if it wasn't for Roy, Klinkhammer and Fraser we'd be no where!

 

[McDrai]

Klefbom grew a nice goatee

 

[IAGTTAYM]

Poor period, Wild got their forecheck going and we could not move the puck at all. Scrivens is dialed in though, so we are in with a chance.

Exactly, that's what we're here for. It's human nature to want to reply to stuff like that but report it instead to make sure that we get a chance to dust off our Mod sticks.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

No doubt! They are game changers!

All joking aside Roy has been a solid addition but he's showing that he can't carry a scoring line right now.

Poor period, Wild got their forecheck going and we could not move the puck at all. Scrivens is dialed in though, so we are in with a chance.

It's a lot more interesting game when they are trailing because instead of clogging the neutral zone and their own blueline they are pressing to tie the game. That said we have too many AHLers on our club right now and with Yak out we have only one effective line so it's to be expected against a solid team like the Wild.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Do these guys honestly believe Voynov is coming back this year. Not a chance. It's probably 50/50 he ever makes it back into the league

 

[McTrashBoat]

Ya know SportsNet with just sound effects isn't all that bad

 

[McShogun99]

But if it wasn't for Roy, Klinkhammer and Fraser we'd be no where!

Fraser is a game changer!

 

[doubledown99]

Hate to say it but we need to lose. Buf won. Ari lost. We need to lose this in regulation to increase our odds for a generational player

Unless he gets cleared on the 2nd and all charges are dropped (it sounded like that's when his court appearance is) he won't be back any time soon.

I hear you but for all we know the team that finishes 3rd last will win the lottery. We won't pass Buffalo unless we win the lottery IMO so that's a moot point.

 

[Tarus]

He also praised Pouliot and Eberle. He likes the game that RNH plays, has for much of the season, just because he sees him being better than you do doesn't make him wrong.

Not really

His analyst of the 2nd goal boiled down to claiming that RNH made it all happen by driving to the net, barely mentioning the other two on the play. It was rather out of character for him to fixate on something as simplistic as that specifically to highlight someone who was at best, on the periphery of the play(and was easily shoved out of effective position).

Just seemed out of place from his usual commentary.

He drew a defender to the side of the net it wasn't anything special but in a minute way it may have distracted the goalie. Nothing special, of that I agree.

1 goal lead going into the third? Let me run the numbers...

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[BarDownBobo]

Just looking around the league, and the Avs have 8 shots through two periods. Could always be worse.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Stop whining Vanek
