Pre-Game Talk: Playing against a team that used to play in a city without a real airport … now they don’t have a real NHL arena

[JeffSkinner53]

Doesn't surprise me that Campbell is 69th in that list.

Nice.

 

[Mez]

Please destroy this team...stop going to OT against lowly teams.

 

[Kerberos]

Not looking forward to playing LA or Vegas in the playoffs. Between the dirty tactics they pull and being league darlings... it just feels like the NHL won't let us win series against either of those teams.

At this point, just cheering for McPoints and McGoals. Want to see him get 156 and 66.

And 50 for Drai, 100 for RNH.

 

[The Moose]

At this point, we're almost guaranteed to play Vegas or LA in the first round. It is very unlikely we win the West or finish in the last wild card spot to avoid this scenario. I think Skinner should start in all games against Vegas and LA. The game against Arizona is pretty meaningless, win or lose. Rest Skinner, give it to Campbell. Frankly, against Arizona, I think I'd be happier for more McGolas (even if it comes with a loss) than for a boring low scoring win.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

There's your answer



The team is also aware of Yamo's issues in the top-6, though I would rather Foegele over janmark


I think they go 11-7 tonight

 

[Sanchez]

Campbell in starters net for practice, as per Stauffer.

Edit: and as per Jimmi McJenkins

 

[FlameChampion]

Campbell for both for the lulz

 

[duul]

Poor McDavid. Kane and Janmark are both utter dog shit. No hands, no playmaking ability. What the f*** are they thinking putting this line together when he's about to break a litany of records? Lmao.

RIP Oiler's Willie Nelson

Do you have a link please?

Put Drai, McD and Nuge together and let them rule. Throw the others into a hat and see what happens.

Read that a few times as well on social media Willie has passed. Lots of Oilers legends have passed the last few years

Nice.

Well least Yamamoto is out of the top 6.

 

[Mez]

RIP

 

[FlameChampion]

That sucks . Never knew personally him but dude was a legend.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

I would go

RNH - McDavid - Hyman
Kane - Draisaitl - Foegele
Janmark - Bjugstad - Yamamoto
Kostin - Shore - Ryan

 

[SwedishFire]

I would go

RNH - McDavid - Hyman
Kane - Draisaitl - Foegele
Janmark - Bjugstad - Yamamoto
Kostin - Shore - Ryan

I like names in a hat mode

Nuge McDavid Janmark
Fogele Leon Hyman
Kane Bjugstad Yamamoto
Kosrin Shore Ryan

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I would go

RNH - McDavid - Hyman
Kane - Draisaitl - Foegele
Janmark - Bjugstad - Yamamoto
Kostin - Shore - Ryan

100% as Gregor would say.

Campbell is in net so we need to score 16 goals tonight.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I was thinking about Janmark/Foegele in the top-6, and my conclusion is 2 things specifically.

1. For the finish that Janmark lacks, he's got a good motor and can easily trusted/replaced (Defensive stuff and is a veteran who knows the score)

2. I think they believe Foegele can drive things (a bit) in the bottom-6 and are trying to win match ups with him down there.

I don't have any proof, but makes some sense. Man, I wish the team could atleast get a look at Lavoie with how he's playing right now.

 

[djbard99]

I mean it's not a bad plan, see if the bigger spot brings out the goalie in Campbell. Who knows. But this team has beaten Vegas on the 2nd of back to backs this year I believe with Skinner in goal, so it's a tough call.

Correction, Campbell started that game. So I would do it again.

I agree. We’re paying him so let’s give him a few chances although hopes are low. Confidence is a funny thing

 

[Stoneman89]

RIP

Blue eyes will be crying in the rain, and now he's on a different road again. An Oiler icon.

It's kinda crazy how this is our first visit to this arena with <10 games to go.

 

[stewy04]

In Phoenix right now and have tickets for tomorrow night. Should be interesting to watch in that arena.

How much is a ticket? If you don't mind me asking.
