GDT: Oilers @ Maple Leafs @ 7:00pm - HNIC

[TimHorton]

Let the records show that I thought they were playing well and were the better team all game and I even mentioned it. My whining stands.

I continue to look for a save

 

[SundinsTooth]

You guys do know this board is a pressure relief valve, right?

 

[CRL]

Are you whiney bitches ok now?

Game is not over
Murray is not getting much work

 

[Artnes]

Mafuckas need some Zoloft

 

[Artnes]

Fun!!!!

 

[axlsalinger]

Secret Weapon: Super Elite 4th line center Johnny Tavares

 

[SundinsTooth]

Yowza.

 

[hockeylover]

big boys just need to show the fuck up in the playoffs when it comes down to it.

 

[TimHorton]

McDavid looks like a downed American airman in Hanoi

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Love McDavid's depressed caveman face on the bench there.

 

[Deckie007]

The secret is, don't allow any quality shots on Murray and score 8 on the other end.

 

[Artnes]

Fights after scrums!!! We dont do that

True, but it's also an escape from The Fan...though lately it's been all Kyper and Bourne here

 

[Artnes]

Kane tripped Holl but no call

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

Somehow Skinner has a better save percentage than Murray. Lol

 

[SundinsTooth]

True.

Okay hear me out...I may have jumped the gun on then11 7 thing. After further thinking....how many minutes do you want your star players to play...and with this line up you can spread the talent to three lines and then double shift different combos.

Mathews marner need 25 minutes in playoffs. Second line 22-23 minutes leaving 13/14 minutes for the third line that's all you need really, so why not play 11 forwards

With the D, you have some set pairs, but you mix in like Holl for the PK or Schenn for some size mismatches. Keeps the D fresh, keeps the offense confusing to match up against...Sparks creativity with new and talented partners.

This may be a strategy that I think could work

We're still working through it...but I think it could work. Seems pretty good tonight

Narrator: They used to not do that

We should just trade for Schenn.

In the first intermission, they had a segment highlighting all the “similarities” between these Oilers and the Oilers dynasty.

Some of the comparisons:

Gretzky = McDavid
Kurri = Draisaitl
Messier = Nugent-Hopkins
Coffey = Nurse
Fuhr = Skinner

…I wonder what interesting topics they’ll have in the second intermission?
