SOLI'S SHORTSIDE​

• Dunno if Ryan McLeod is on the trip.
  
  
• I think I might go with Campbell this game. I would give Jack the Yotes, but I like the spacing better if we give Skinner the Yotes game and then Vegas. Showcase Campbell for that offseason Karlsson trade, still with retention. After this weekend maybe San Jose is looking for a new good guy to wear the pads.
  
  
• With Ekholm's acquisition and the forwards getting healthier, we've seen less 11-7 and less Philip Broberg. I like Broberg's adaptation to the show and even 9-11 minutes a game and into the playoffs where the learning curve steepens and more is learned (but mistakes are costly), I think would be valuable to him. But we're running 12-6 and he's not playing. He needs to be playing. Swap him with Jason Demers and let Demers be the warm body in the press box.

Hope we run up the score this game, let Karlsson know we’re the team he needs to waive that nmc for.

Also Nuge needs 100 pts and McDavid needs to make some history. Run it up boys, let’s keep it rolling

Thanks for the GDT @Soli .

Yes, the Sharks are struggling. But winning will benefit them with a higher Draft Pick and our team with a better Playoff position…

No mercy,

Take them down

 

[Spawn]

Is this the night Connor hits 60?

 

[Fourier]

Isn't this game in Edmonton?????

 

[KCC]

need to keep a good pace and not check out because it’s the sharks. Also more McDavid points, please.

 

[Zguy370]

Isn't this game in Edmonton?????

I think so, hopefully the team didn't board a plane to San Jose

 

[McSuper]

Is this the night Connor hits 60?

Hopefully 61. The quicker he passes Matthews goals from last year the quicker fans outside of Edmonton realizes Matthews isn't in the same league as McDavid. My prediction. McDavid reign king in the NHL for years and Matthews sinks to a 60 point player in the Arizona. Maybe some years he will out score RNH.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

They're an extremely bad team not deserving of respect, I hope the Oilers oblige them. Just stomp them into the ground.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Put up 2 touchdowns against these guys today. Just go all Rangers on them.

 

[BlackDogg]

How much do we win by thread?

Haven't we learned....

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Sharks are a bad team but we can't play down them because... Well... We all know what happens when they do.

Since Late Feb I haven't really seen this from this team. The closest was the Jacket's game, but we know what was happening there.

I suspect they'll get up then they'll put them away.

Haven't we learned....

We lose by 3

Hot take: I think we should start Campbell tonight and Wednesday.

Oilers will probably put in a half ass effort tonight but they'll win anyway.

Agreed. We’re nearly a lock for the playoffs at this point, and I think it’s more important to get our second goalie going than it is to try and get home ice advantage.

Especially when our road record is better than our home record.

 

[3IR]

Off topic but has anyone googled any oilers questions lately and been redirected to “stat muse.com”?

It’s been the top result every time I google a question about hockey. It’s interesting, I just wish it provided some sources with the answers. Either way, great for trivia

Eh, I think Campbell's a lost cause, I just don't want to run Skinner into the ground before the games even matter.

Some important matches are coming up in quick sucession here.

 

[Harry Curry]

Hot take: I think we should start Campbell tonight and Wednesday.

I would give tonight's game to Campbell. Not really sure about Wednesday though.

Skinner needs some rest and seven straight starts is a bit much. But a week off between starts for your starting goalie seems a bit much.

 

[3IR]

Also solid reasoning. Either way I’m on board. I just really hope you’re wrong about campbell.

Fantasy playoffs are starting so.... no! Lol

 

[Canovin]

McDavid is due for 4 points

 

[CycloneSweep]

Maybe, we got beat by Columbus with Campbell cause he couldn't stop a beach ball.

 

[FlameChampion]

I would give Campbell the start. I dont want to run Skinner into the ground. If Campbell starts, hopefully he doesnt lose the game for us.

Hopefully not a trap game. Would like to see the Oilers come out and dominate the Sharks.
