GDT: XXXIII | "The Non Insulting One" | BOS @ EDM | 12/12/13 | 7:30 PM | SNET-EDM

[McOvechking]

I don't think the B's will be able to contain all of the Oil's speed tonight, I do expect a few from St. Jerome in the back of our net though. Should be fun to watch.

Have we played against non-Flames Jerome yet?

 

[Alex87]

All I want is a good and consistent effort. I don't expect them to win, but Boston is on the second game of a back-to-back and they're dealing with injuries. It would be nice to put some fear into them.

They are not a the 2nd game of a B2B, the cal game was tuesday.

 

[Da McBomb]

Hasn't it been Win, Loss, Win, Loss, Win, Loss, Win the last few games. Going with that, tonight is a loss.

 

[McRpro]

This will be my first game and probably only game i go to this year. My roommate is a die hard bruins fan. Normally I'd be exited to go but I'm not. Sucks this season is in the toilet already.

 

[SometimesY]

Just don't get hurt..please do NOT get hurt. A win would be a bonus.

I would be ok with this if it means we get to curb stomp Vancouver tomorrow night.

 

[McDrai]

The Bruins are going to absolutely dominate us physically and on the scoreboard
5-1 Bruins

 

[Joey Moss]

This is a loss, no question.

 

[Joey Moss]

Well.. considering Eastern teams couldn't play against West teams last year..

Short answer.. obviously not.

 

[Homesick]

This is a loss, no question.

I hope the players hear all of these comments. Teams that we should beat we seem to lose to. One thing for sure is that these kids seem to ocassionally explode against really good teams. I think the speed will put a banged up B's on the PK a lot tonight

Uh yea, in the SC final

If our PP doesn't wake up, we'll still probably lose after Boston scores 3 on the PK.

This could be the reason J. Schultz wakes up, though. PP time against Boston and (fingers crossed) Chad Johnson.

 

[SeriousBusiness]

5-1 Boston.

Wait, Potter isn't playing tonight, so I'll revise to 4-1 Boston.

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

I predict Ference will score the GWG for Edmonton.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

I'm looking forward to seeing if Ference's play has another level. If we see that next gear in any game, it'll be in tongiht's.

I mean, he's played fine. But the GDT on the Bruins page should be some indication that there's a lot more to love in this guy than maybe we've seen so far.

 

[phaedrusDH]

Oilers aren't going to be able to stay out of Chara's long reach. i'm secretly hoping Spooner scores a few. nice to see him the big league again.

 

[CamFan81]

i actually expect Ference to do something tonight like a big hit of some sort.

He's the type that would do it just to show edmonton he's all about the oil.

Good luck tonight, no injuries on either side

By "PP" do you mean, Perimeter Passing....Don't they get the message when the whole crowd is yelling "SHOOOT".....

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

I'm not so convinced that we should just shoot. We need to break down the coverage and get quality opportunities.

Missing the net will result in clears.

Covered pucks will result in faceoffs.

We are at a disadvantage in faceoffs.

Sure, shooting is fine, but only when you have a lane AND there's a screen/net presence.

I think JS has that kind of ability to get pucks through.

 

[nhlisajoke]

I think JS has that kind of ability to get pucks through.

I think JS has been a joke this year

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

I think JS has been a joke this year

Agreed, but we need him to be our PP QB on the point. There's really no one else.

No. He's just a good team guy who plays hard. He's a #4 dman here, just like he was in Boston. People just had unreasonable expectations for him.

 

[Mr Positive]

Agreed, but we need him to be our PP QB on the point. There's really no one else.

I agree. Against a team like the Bruins we need to go for a homerun and hope we get the good version of Justin Schultz and not the one we've seen in past few games. It's the only way

 

[Shanahanigans]

Agreed, but we need him to be our PP QB on the point. There's really no one else.

He doesn't shoot anymore. He always defers to the guys on the walls on the PP.
