GDT updated with lines and sich...

Eleven must be in the crowd for that interference play

Wow what do ya know, put Frk with Mantha and AA and Frk scores. It's almost like he shouldn't be on the 4th line.

End of 1st. Wings lead 2-0. I'll take it. Nyquist hurt, possibly out of the game...? What's that I hear? Why, yes, I do believe that's Evgeny Svechnikov's theme song playing in the distance!

AA with a smoke trail behind him, damn is he quick.

I like the Western theme. I'm taking that as a lead for my predictions. I'm saying that we'll get 2 goals from Cool Hand Luke.

HYPE!

I think it's because Nurse poked the puck and Mantha had to hurry up to the blue line to avoid the offside

That should change, he created the play. Not sure why he was excluded from that 2nd apple.

Hope I won´t jinx,... Oilers are terrible beside couple indivuduals, this team has no depth..

http://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/cult-of-hockey-why-the-oilers-should-have-made-the-subban-trade-not-the-hall-deal Yeah, just looked it up to see if I could find who it was for. Apparently Elliott Friedman said it was Subban for Draisatl, 1 of Nurse or Klefborn and a 4th. That would be quite a bit to give up.

perhaps, but we've got 8 on the ice!

Fear the offensive prowess of XO

Change up the lines, look disjointed as f*** with zero chemistry seen anywhere, rinse repeat.

Scooooreesss!! Jensen Ripped it and Nielsen tipped it in

Nielsen with the tip? 1-0 Wings

Witkowski? JK Awesome GDT. Love the western theme. Always thought it would be cool to use a "Young Guns" poster and photoshop in Larkin, AA, Mantha, Frk, Svech, and Rass someday.

I agree with this. And yes, they will beat us down.

Yeah, a whole lot of unforced errors for Chiarelli. Why they got rid of Hall, Eberle, Schultz, is beyond me. To me, that's a better supporting cast than Lucic, Strome, Larsson. Apparently he also turned down a Subban trade - would have been really interesting to see who it was for.

I'm probably in the minority on this, but I'm liking Glendening this season and I'm liking our current fourth line. Frk and Glendening appear to be developing some chemistry, just like we all predicted. My OSP (Oddly Specific Prediction): Larkin with two goals, Frk with a goal and an assist, Kronwall with two assists, Abby scraps with Lucic, Scott Wilson scraps with Slepyshev, Glendening gets hurt blocking a shot on the PK.

Keeping tabs on the Oilers has been a pet pastime of mine for years now. (Good community over @ Lowetide.) I don't know if I'd say I feel bad for them, but I can definitely say that if I were an obsessive Oilers fan, I'd be pretty steaming mad right now. Or maybe just flat-out despondent. Ten years of utterly incompetent management...and now Chiarelli's revealing himself to be only a minor upgrade in that department. He's bled the organization of great young talent. He's gone all-in on toughness, character, etc. He's taken the one positive thing that came out of their decade of incompetence -- the lottery kids -- and traded them for magic beans. Now McDavid's on the final year of his ELC (best value you're going to see in the cap era) and they're supposed to be gearing up for a Cup run this year and...their core is basically McDavid, Draisaitl and a lot of replaceable, good-not-great talent. They're really not much deeper than the Wings, even with Sekera in the lineup. I mean, they're probably going to destroy us tonight, because of course. And I fully expect them to make the playoffs this season. And they'll probably find a way to snag one of Karlsson, Doughty, Ekman-Larsson in a couple of years. But I can't help but feel like Chiarelli has botched the McDavid rollout. SAD!

Wow, awesome GDT, love the old Western wanted poster look. Thanks Nerve. Never confident with Mrazek in net, if the D isn't there to pick up his rebounds and overplaying the puck, this could be an ugly one. Talbot's numbers are surprisingly bad also, so at least there's an opportunity to put up some goals here. LGW

AA not credited with an assist. Boooo.
