GDT: Oilers @ Jets 5PM MT

[Drivesaitl]

This doesn’t seem like an overly inspired effort by the Jets but still an impressive showing for a severely undermined group. However I’d expect the Jets to come out strong and try to win with a 20 minute effort.

Teams are dressing basically split squad lineups. Reminds so much of exhibition.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Great. I have to go number two

See if I can make it to the end of the second here. She's gonna be a dog fight though

Sounds more like a turtle situation than a dogfight.

 

[MessierII]

I’m keeping this top line together at least to start

 

[Drivesaitl]

I never would have guessed you were a Swiftie.

I'm sure not. haha I watched The Prodigy. Nothing much going on today. Maybe check out Kraftwerk.

 

[CupofOil]

We had possession on the PP in their zone. Play is blown dead and it significantly f***s over the Oilers. It’s the risk that comes with blocking shots.

What’s to stop players from just staying down every time they block a shot on the pk then?

I agree, I'm just talking about the risks of letting the play continue. He didn't get up for a good 10 seconds or so, it wasn't like he was down temporarily.

In any event, it worked out for the Oilers so I'm good.

Jets have the Presidents trophy to play for don’t they? Probably some motivation there. No need to downplay the opponents’ effort every night.

 

[Jarvi]

In his last 11 games (incl this one) Rico has 9pts.

I think we all expected more from him this season, but he has been getting brutal deployment and the lowest minutes of his career. We lose a couple guys, and he gets a minutes bump and and he is producing again.

Glad to see him and some of the others seize the opportunity.

 

[brentashton]

So I guess we are re-signing Connor Brown.

Probably at 3 schmil

 

[RegDunlop]

I assume if there was blood... or if it was to the face... they'd blow it down... but they clearly saw it was a knee/leg/ball shot so they were correct (for a change) in not whistling it down.

It's one of the only things they seem to get consistently right.

 

[Heavy Dee]

I think Bob only has one suit.

Ehh he didn’t seem that at risk to me though. If he was down in front of the net or something and shots were getting blasted his direction I could maybe see it. Or there was blood or a head shot or something.


Yep worked out for us tho. Lets go!

 

[RegDunlop]

How does Bob think skinners starts gm1? Picks on fire- - gets LA game tomorrow - I have to think unless he shits the bed it's Calvin's net to start.

Ya I've shit on his play a few times this year for being a disappointment but he can be a huge key to this team in the bottom 6 in the playoffs and I'll eat a huge plate of crow if he turns his year around and has a solid playoffs.

 

[Jarvi]

Did Bob just say we could see Hutson suit up for us against the hawks?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Love of the news of the free prospects. Hopefully these guys can play well

Sharks.

Schwartz.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

I admit Skinner-McDavid-Brown finding some chemistry has me feeling a little better going into the playoffs.

Lets you have Drai and Hyman together as a bigger combo, and maybe bring back Podz-RNH-RV as you're 3rd line. Henrique can round out the Drai line until Fred or Kane ready for top 9 min.

Skinner-McDavid-Brown
Henrique-Drai-Hyman
Podz-RNH-RV
Janmark-Kapanen-Perry

Even with all their injuries, that isn't a bad forward core if McDrai are producing.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Did he say that Bowman plans on working towards signing that prospect from the KHL?

 

[Oilslick941611]

Seems like we signing a lot of Euros and NCAA players this year, more than usual. hopefully 1 or 2 turn out to be good

If this line stays clicking, it makes the rest of the lineup crazy deep

 

[brentashton]

You posting from the crapper is making us all feel a little odd.

He’s not the only person that shit posts on this site. It’s just that he really shit posts.

Drai and Hyman probably wouldn’t work and it’d probably frustrate the hell out of Drai in the process.

Maxim Berezkin 2020 5th round pick​

Yeah, I wasnt gonna attempt to spell his name as it would've been butchered
