GDT: March 11: Oilers @ Leafs 5 pm

[guymez]

What I wouldn't give to have 2000's era Jim Hughson back.

Didn't like him as much after he became the Leafs' full-time guy...but his calls from the Oilers-Sharks 2006 series still give me goosebumps. The call of Sergei Samsonov's game-tying goal in Game 4 is one of my all-time favorites (1:53).

Man...thanks for posting that. Goosebumps for sure!
Too bad about the video quality but that was such a classic call.

Hughson doesnt try to over call the play. His level of excitement is perfectly modulated. Enhances that play.
Cuthbert has the same ability.
Its a necessary skill for a quality PbP man.

Jack tries to over do things way too often. He ends up over modulating. Sometimes its just cringe worthy.

That reffing duo, ouch. We'll only get 1 PP to the Leafs 6 and they'll get a 5-on-3 of course. Oilers will still win.

 

[Mr McV]

Hopefully if Campbell starts playing better management will give him a new Oilers cap.

LOL...actually the condition of that cap that looks a lot like my favorite cap.

Not sure how to feel heading into tonight. We've won 4/5 games so if we lose it's hard to be too mad but at the same time we need to keep winning because the Pacific is suddenly the best division in the league.

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?

Watch the final score become 12-6

Congrats on the win against the Bruins on Thursday.

Now do us all a favor and stomp the shit out of the Leafs.

Thanks.

I figured as much. I live in Massachusetts and have only met one Maple Leaf fan in person in my entire life. The Leafs are a nuisance to us.

Looking forward to some quality entertainment tonight. Go get 'em.

Im fully expecting Matthews to uncontrollably yell “HELP PLEASE THAT MAN STOLE MY PURSE” as mcdavid strips him of the puck and flies away at impossible speed

 

[Leonardlizard]

That must be the late whistle dog.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

McDavid vs Matthews. The fkn guy has half the points this season. Comparison over....

 

[CupofOil]

The early games are usually hard for me to watch from the beginning because of life stuff but I'll be on this one from puck drop because.... Oilers/Leafs and I have to watch the matchup of the two best players in the world McDavid and Draisaitl vs some guys so Lets Go Oilers and Blow Leafs Blow

CBC: “Matthews is more focused on playing a complete game, that’s why his numbers are down”
