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

[BlackDogg]

Hall is a healthy scratch tonight, so so much for Taylor.

 

[bellagiobob]

Biggest day of the year for Leafers, as they get to actually watch two star players. Just another game for Connor, against a team he can’t stand and a city he hates playing in. Good guys win 5-3.

Got myself a wisers deluxe straight. Four ounces

Game time. Let's go

 

[russ99]

Well just great, Hockey Night in Canada, Oilers and Leafs, and US-based fans can’t watch because Bettman wants to prop up a dying cable network model. Disappointing.

 

[McShogun99]

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

He’ll probably hit 600+ regular season goals if he plays until he’s 38.

Luke you are now in my bad books.

Stan's gonna bring the golden boy home.

Every f***ing time we play this team on a Saturday, the game does not start when it should: 5:07. Is there a pregame ceremony every Saturday in Toronto?

We are here live on location, in the belly of the beast.

Church and King

We signed three veteran top six forwards this off-season (Skinner, Arvidsson and Henrique) and all the talk was about how Draisaitl would have the best line mates he's ever had. We're now one month into the season and Drai's been stapled to Podkolzin who was the 13th forward for the Canucks last season and is on one of the league's longest goalless streaks amongst forwards (37 games). He hasn't looked threatening in our top six at all.

And then people wonder on here why we are dominating games but can't score. Maybe because we're playing scorers in the bottom six and fourth liners in the top six?

And this is why Oiler haters think that Draisaitl can’t run his own line. It’s like having a Ferrari and putting concrete blocks on it. Meanwhile McDavid gets the lions share of the linemates. At least give Draisaitl another skilled guy like RNH.

Pretty much. My problem is the NHL build their schedule on the leafs playing nearly every Saturday night at home.

 

[McHelpus]

OEL is a loser

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

f*** OEL

 

[NedPlimpton]

VERY COOL.

start the game.

I don’t really get it either because RNH isn’t even good with McDavid. I think RNH is better with Draisaitl. Makes me think that McDavid demands certain line mates where as Draisaitl doesn’t really care.

 

[NeverForget06]

OEL is one of the defenceman most victimized by McDavid since he entered the NHL

That is every game in the league though on every single day lol. I never even attempt to turn my tv on until 12 passed at minimum

 

[McHelpus]

I'd break that stick in half

 

[bellagiobob]

f*** OEL

Do this before the game, the guy has played like 10 games for the Leafs.

 

[Oilslick941611]

geez, just get started already

 

[NedPlimpton]

I bet it is just a chocolate stick wrapped in foil.

f*** yeah.

I disagree. I always notice this with Saturday games in Toronto.

Not looking good

This one is on Knoblauch for starting Skinner if it goes the way most of his starts this year have. There was no reason to go back to him after the Nashville game.

 

[KlefDown]

Leo Ekman Larsson doesn't want no stick, he says drop the puck

 

[CanadasTeam99]

What is it? That losers 1000th game? I might not be able to watch most of this one. You guys are free of skinner bashing for a few hours lol
