GDT: WAKE UP, THE SEASON’S STARTED! Oilers v Black Hawks, 8 PM HNIC

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Is it time to dig in??

 

[Drivesaitl]

Giving Skinner 3m and in turn losing Holloway, who had chemistry w Drai and could also play bottom 6, may end up a disastrous move for this franchise. I hope not, and I was stoked for Jeff at the time, but christ he looks bad.

It would almost be impossible for Holloway to be worse value than this floater

More like time to dig us out of the hole. Now is not the time to dig in like a tick on a dogs ass.

Of the 2 I wanted to keep Holloway initially. Such is life. We need speed and physicality. Kostin please.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Its the trouble too with adding Skinner and RV. These are smallish players and RV is no longer good on the boards or getting in on forecheck. Reasons that LA no longer wanted him. Skinner really a passenger out there.

What's f***ing annoying is that a guy like Podkolzin deserves a bump in place of a guy like Skinner.

All these coaches think they are smarter than everyone else.

 

[BlackDogg]

Bowman is the problem. Oilers will be bending over the whole season now. Feels like a curse.

Podz ain't much either. Not like he's any sort of production guy ever. I think putting him in topsix would put more pressure on.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Shutout for the first four periods to start the season? Thank God my give a shit meter gets less and less each season. Just can’t get into the season yet.

 

[nexttothemoon]

I like Podz overall... but ya... guy hasn't scored in a while... he looks good on that 4th line... let him build up some confidence down there with Ryan/Perry.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Only one period guys. Pickard is in net so we probably win this one. Blessing Hawks only got one goal. Right in this one and big prediction, we score 2-3 goals in 2nd period. Not gonna pick who.

 

[McFlash97]

A lot of guys in this team are really old. McLeod, Holloway and Foegele were all really fast. Broberg too.

Don't tell some posters here. It doesn't take a genius to see the amount of speed, youth and exuberance this team would lack the minute we got rid of 4 of our top 5 fast young players in one offseason now these clueless folks in management are going to spend the entire season trying to find that back... classic

 

[TKB21]

Man these guys do not look good at all, hopefully they can muster something on this PP

 

[Gnome17]

Get a f***ing goal here, get some confidence that can grow.

 

[yukoner88]

Time to give them the ol' PP slap

 

[nexttothemoon]

Outshot... outhit... outscored.

Let's hope this PP gets going at least.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Of course debrusk calls out an oiler for going down easily.

Why the f*** didnt mcdavid get the puck.

f***ing stupid team

 

[BlackDogg]

Oilers looking tired.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Lmao, NHL refs cant even hide the bias.

 

[RattsSSV]

Perry!

 

[yukoner88]

No 5 on 3s allowed for us

 

[dssource]

Finally. Thank you Perry!

 

[Heavy Dee]

Losing every puck battle

 

[snipes]

Perry!!!

 

[Mr Positive]

2nd unit pulls through!
