GDT: Taylor vs Ty(ler). Oilers vs The Center of the Universe. 5 PM, SN, CBC.

[Drivesaitl]

Just a bit of Trivia but non generational goal scorer Draisaitl has 400 NHL goals. Combined Reg+playoffs. 359 reg season +41playoffs.

 

[TB12]

That was an aggressive amount of Taylor swift

I liked it

 

[yukoner88]

Remember when Stolarz played for the Oilers lol

 

[OilerTyler]

Maybe this east coast trip can get Jeff Skinner going. Does anyone know what Victor Arvidsson injury is? I hope it's not his back.

Skinner isn’t going to get going playing on the fourth line with Ryan.

I know people love what Podkolzin has been bringing but I’m not sure how long he can stay in the top six if he isn’t creating offence. Draisaitl is getting most of his points in the few minutes he spends away from Pod every game. I’d be open to giving Skinner a chance on Draisaitl’s wing but Knob seems to have already abandoned the idea.

Skinners stats in TO the last 2 times

Not looking good

Yup. Usually shi*s the bed in TO. Team overall seems to do so lol

Lines updated in the OP

RNH - McDavid - Hyman
Podkolzin - Draisaitl - Perry
Janmark - Henrique - Brown
Skinner - Ryan

Ekholm - Bouchard
Nurse - Dermott
Kulak - Emberson
Stecher

We might as well try to find a trading partner for Jeff Skinner if the coach doesn't even use him on PP1 over his nothing boy Hopkins

Remember when Stolarz played for the Oilers lol

I legitimately forgot he was on our team at all lol and I am the one who has been talking about him a lot this year and how great he has been

I bet we say "Fu** Stolarz* at least 6 times today

He has carried TO

They could run
Skinner - Draisaitl - Podkolzin

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I won't be watching the game tonight as I have a prior engagement that involves food and drinking.

 

[OilerTyler]

They could run
Skinner - Draisaitl - Podkolzin

Would probably result in a higher chance of scoring than playing Draisaitl with two fourth liners.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Wasting cap space on a known bandaid is just another dumb decision by management. Stop getting players on reference by current oilers it hasn't worked out at all.

 

[Pip]

They could run
Skinner - Draisaitl - Podkolzin

I agree with this but flip the sides for the wingers. Iirc Skinner is more of a RW anyway.

Would also like them to swap Henrique and Nuge for a stretch to see if they can unlock some offense there.

Henrique-McDavid-Hyman
Podkolzin-Draisaitl-Skinner
Janmark-RNH-Brown
Ryan/Perry

Perfect opportunity with Arvidsson out

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

The 11-7 is fine if one of your top six is lame but not so much when it’s just adding Travis Dermott.
Would love to see Philp get 8 minutes of experience instead.
Enjoying some chicken wings now and then heading up the CN tower before a hotel nap and then it’s Cousin Connor O’Clock.

 

[Sethual]

Should be a great game with McDavid and Drai ready to dominate it seems while the rest of the forward core can barely lift the puck one inch off the ground and or shoot it at more than 30 kmph. Oh and on the Powerplays I will just go get snacks and maybe nap since they cannot score on that for the life of them. Oilers can still lose if Stu Skinner isn't a trauma baby tonight.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

Taylor Swift isn’t a good singer compared to other female artists. To me it’s like watching Nail Yakupov a year after his draft and thinking “How did you get here”!? God damn the youth are dumb.

I bet HNIC will mention Taylor Swift enough times to turn it into a punishing drinking game too.

You don't like repetitive songs about breaking up with boys? lol

I personally get so sick of seeing her everywhere. May daughters are 9, but not "Swifties" at all.

I'll give her props for having a clean image and seemingly being a good role model I guess.

Yeah. Taylor's a weird choice. You look at Michael Jackson he had legitimate talent above his peers.

 

[Vagabond]

Not sure why Knob hasn't put Skinner on his natural RW side yet where he's played his entire career. Get this man going.

Edit: I guess he's always played left side. Most of his hilights show him scoring from the right side tho.

Damn. Bro best wake tf up then.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Michael Jackson liked little boys a lot better too.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Can Taylor Swift play goalie?

I will admit I can admire the clean image and that she is a great role model for young children.

 

[rboomercat90]

Remember when Stolarz played for the Oilers lol

Nope.


I remember when he was here but I don’t remember him playing.

We need to stop with the Matthews being a generational player nonsense. He's literally just a prime Dany Heatley.

He is generationally over rated.

 

[tardigrade81]

I liked it

Lol well to each their own.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Lol well to each their own.

Are you in Toronto now getting ready ?

 

[yukoner88]

Nope.


I remember when he was here but I don’t remember him playing.

He was Koskinen's back up when he played over 30 games in a row. Stolarz was given one start to try n give Koskinen a rest. Stolarz got lit up n chased out of the net by the end of the 1st period
