If Woody starts Campbell tonight I really dunno what to say. I mean yeah there’s the off chance he might have a good game but I don’t think you can take that risk right now.

 

[Travis093]

Lets go team

 

[Weitz]

excited. No plans on a Saturday for once so I can watch in peace.

 

[Harry Curry]

The Oilers beat the Leafs pretty handily 10 days ago going 11-7 while the Leafs went 12-6.

So the Leafs are going 11-7 while the Oilers go 12-6 tonight?

 

[Mr McV]

Morpheus, I'm quite sure I 100% agree with your comment that was removed by a moderator.

Starting Campbell seems like an emotional decision by Woodcroft instead of a rational one. I think Woody is more interested in being a "good guy" today than winning this game.

I understand last season when we had to "get Smitty going" because our other option was a struggling Koskinen. With Skinner playing the way he is playing it doesn't really make sense to start Campbell unless we are on a back to back or Skinner needs some rest.

Who knows, maybe Campbell will surprise me tonight. I'm less upset about having to miss this game now that I know that Campbell is most likely playing though.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

I'm worried. We're all starting to get too confident meaning we'll probably have a bad game, especially if Campbell will play. I really don't want to watch him let in 5 or 6 muffins on HNIC.

My prediction: The Oilers carry the same hard working game they had against the Bruins from 2 nights ago into this one and stomp all over the leafs tonight once again.

Edit: I thought Skinner was starting. Where is everyone getting their info saying that Campbell is starting?

 

[soothsayer]

Another rest day. Light work, babaaayy! Ain't nothin but a peanut.

edit: Looks like Oilersnation removed the post saying Skinner was the backup tonight...

Today is the day the Oilers nugent-hopkins the Leafs unless the Leafs nugent-hopkins the Oilers.

I thought the Leafs were an older team
I would have never guessed that these teams have the same average age at 28 years old.

This is going to be tough game for the Oil. No one can take a night off.
This has the potential to be the most satisfying win of the season.

 

[guymez]

Woody cant afford to overthink this.
Skinner must start this game.

 

[GOilers88]

Really good chance to jump out of the WC and into a division spot with Seattle drawing Dallas tonight.

Surprised Skinner isn't getting the nod. Could be really huge for Campbell and the team if he can have a strong game, but it could go south too. Fingers crossed.

LFG Boys.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Woodcroft doing all he can to sabotage himself if he starts minimum 4 goals against Campbell.

 

[rickysusedsht]

Campbell starting? Well if he shits the bed on HNIC against the big shot leafs he may never regain his confidence. Pretty risky but hopefully he is up to the task

[OilerTyler]

Hallelujah

 

[WayneMessier]

Let go Oil

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

I might watch the first period tonight before I fall asleep and wake up to 2pts. in the morning. Did so against Buffalo & Boston, I'm on an awkward Oilers winning streak again, lol.

Stu in net and bottom 6 extravaganza for the W, McDrai points for some bonus spectacle. Go Oilers!

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Chris Lee and Marc Joanette are the officials tonight
