GDT: Tarzan Boy - Sens vs Oilers 7:00 (In the timezone that matters the most)

[TGOSnipes99]

There's a lot more going on than what we see on TV and talk about on message boards.

Some problems look a lot different outside than in.

I also understand this. Maybe he looks better at practise? Maybe a guys under the weather? I don't know. I know that we have to wait until next year to hopefully fix this issue.

There's personal dynamics at play too. The same as any workplace.

The Yamamoto versus Kostin usage is perplexing. To my eye, Klim has been far more noticeable and productive than Kailer. Are they slow playing him while they negotiate a contract or something? Desperately trying to get Yamo on track before the playoffs? I’m mystified.

Kim Klostin for the win!

 

[gordonhught]

And they didn't consider making the move for Gudas when he became available on the last day? Oh boy. We're an aggravation of this injury from Desharnais playing in the top 4.

Wonder if Demers makes an appearance at some point.

Yes to Demers,

It's clear Kostin is banged up or something if he's not been playing. The overreactions and whinging about Woodcroft on here are hilarious though.

How is it clear?

If he is then just say so.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

If Kostin doesn't play in this game... it's time to start flipping cars in the Ice District.

Just Woody's to start with.

 

[Biltmore]

I think the must win faction is moreso to have any hope of fighting for home ice in the first round or at minimum avoiding the wild card spot that crosses over.

Nashville has a maximum of 109 points but looking at the records of their opposition and their past performance against the various tiers of teams their expected points in the final stretch is about 21 points putting them at 94 points. Edmonton would need to go 7-8 in the final 15 to match that 94 points, so Nashville needs to be pretty hot down the stretch to catch Edmonton if Edmonton is putting points away.

As for Calgary, their maximum is only 103, and expected is somewhere between 89-92. 6-9 gets Edmonton to 92 points. So it would take a miracle from Calgary or complete implosion by Edmonton for that to happen.

So you're saying there's a chance....

They don't announce every little injury players have.

How is it clear?

What possible other reason would be sitting out? I don't recall seeing it stated that he's been a healthy scratch.

Lol because he’s a healthy scratch.

I’m not saying he’s not injured but it sure doesn’t seem “clear” that he is.

Edit : Unless I missed something. Did it mention somewhere that he’s missing games because he’s still banged up?

 

[T-Funk]

Just Woody's to start with.

Poor Ford Fiesta.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Meh, hate that garbage Eastern media who does not even know what a top tier generational player looks like

I say let Auston be. He seems like a good guy. He's not asking for all of this attention. It's TSN. Matthews can't even hold MDavid or even Drai's jock for the last few years. Not his fault.

Idiots don't know what a generational player is! Judging from threads on the mains from time to time you would think there's like 10 generational talents in the NHL today. lmao! It's ridiculous. A superstar player and a generational player are 2 different things. There can only be 1 or 2 generational talents in the league... That's why those types of players are GENERATIONAL.

Sorry for the rant. I just hope we win.

Jack said he was a healthy scratch at the beginning of the game against Boston. I assume if he's still in the PB that the reason remains the same unless mentioned otherwise.

 

[Vagabond]

Woody has a rager for duds like Yamo but nothing but a limp one for Kostin.

Nah you guys are totally right. Woodcroft just woke up one day and decided he didn't like Klim anymore and that's why he hasn't played the last couple games.

Enjoy your coach hate circle jerk I guess.

 

[OilerBaron]

I'm calling a Gordie Howe trick for Kane or Tkachuk tonight

 

[94 Oil Drops]

It doesn't make sense to me. Yamamoto can't put a puck in a lake. Kostin is bigger, more physical, can fight and has twice the goals.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Nah you guys are totally right. Woodcroft just woke up one day and decided he didn't like Klim anymore and that's why he hasn't played the last couple games.

I like Woody. Lol doesn’t mean he didn’t healthy scratch Kostin.

 

[BurnabyBrawler89]

Is it just me or does anyone else think Broberg should get in a game here. I don’t think Desharnais has shown anything spectacular, yes he kills penalties but I’m sure the others can also?

 

[Whyme]

I still have some money in for the Oilers to win the SC so also for that I hope they get into their spring mood now and start to look like one of the top teams. It's a long reach to win the SC this year but if they play their very best hockey you never know.

You could cut and paste this statement to every coach in the last 100 years. Funny how every coach in the NHL has been accused of this

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Oh nice, the GDT. So, about Nickelback..

Lol very true.

Or maybe the coach saw Kane returning to play and saw guys like Janmark, Shore and Ryan as more useful players

Kostin when playing got the lowest TOI so he is pretty much the Broberg of forwards.

Depth is a good problem to have
