GDT: Scheduled Loss vs Rangers? Put coal in the Rangers stockings instead. - Edm v NYR - 5:30 PM.

Why do the coaches cover their mouths when they talk? Is it because they have stinky breath?

 

[BlackDogg]

Doesn’t really look like we have the juice so far. Hopefully we pick it up in the second a bit.

They likely are tired from carrying the Macy's bags around today.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Great defensive play by Bouchard. Unfortunate Nugent Hopkins backhander wired over the boards for a two minute penalty.

Draisaitl is flying this period. Got a great shot opportunity on the PK but wide.

Probably don't want to have their lips read and info relayed to the opposite team.

 

[KCC]

What a boring period. Rangers just trapped the entire time. zzzzzz

 

[tardigrade81]

The period started well. Ended terrible

They are cursing to each other, can't show it on tv

Maybe it's both.

 

[Zguy370]

No pressure and all the time in the world, but he hurries and back hands it over the glass.

Worried he might accidently get touched?

 

[KarmaPolice]

Pretty lacklustre first period. Top line looked good at times. The 2nd line trying to find their footing, though I see some potential. But need someone other than Foegele to play with Drai and McLeod. Play dies too often with him.

They don’t want their lips read because the spouses will know what they are getting for Christmas. Boys probably been shopping.

Lip readers? Lol

Otherwise, no clue..

 

[McDNicks17]

We're going to have to drink a lot to piss a lot with the way this game is going to give them any chance at a win... c'mon people break out the 40's and 2-4's

I read that as we're going to have to drink a lot of piss.

 

[EnufAlready]

I like the second line better. Boys are forechecking and trying to get the puck on Leos stick.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

I like Gazdic

 

[Tarus]

Kane looks like his effort and engagement level is at low ebb again, and now he's playing with Janmark/Ryan. Hopefully not a prelude to another intermission comment about discontent.

That would definitely give you bad breath

 

[Drivesaitl]

What a transition on the Rangers goal and a sick one touch pass by Zeb. Rangers really feeling it and looking like a first place club. Their transition has a lot of unique looks to it and they throw the puck around with authority in ozone. So much one touch stuff. A lot of players like playing in NYR. Pretty stacked club.

kind of the pretty play that doesn't work as well in playoffs though.

McD pretending to be Foegele in that period and Foegele being good. Strange.

 

[K1984]

Once again we need way more on net and way more traffic to the net. Way too often we’ll have control with three forwards all outside the dots.

Didn’t necessarily play bad, but didn’t have the details there that we will need to win. Smells like another “oh darn they were snakebit/got goalied” games.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Saw the goal, sneaky good play. Lots of game left for the Oilers to do something

 

[Drivesaitl]

Win or lose I keep saying it but this is my favorite hockey time of year with games like this. This isn't some lame Oilers playing Nashville. So much talent on ice out there making plays.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Boston pizza is so ridiculously overpriced, but it's the only place my granny will eat. Jeez

 

[Profet]

Probably don't want to have their lips read and info relayed to the opposite team.

I always thought it was more about the media. Getting caught on camera saying someone is playing poorly or whatever means you need to answer questions later.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

The last game Knob switched it to what it should be.

Tonight he juggled it back to a deranged look and the 2nd/3rd lines look pathetic and out of synch again.

What do you mean?

He shuffled it to McLeod - Drai - Foegele last game.

Isnt that the line tonight?

 

[RandomGuy79]

These intermissions are so f***ing depressing.
