Compete Level

Edmo apparently has said they will not be pursuing him

Gotta spend all that regained good karma in one place

man I'm just so sorry you guys

just opening this thread for the first time in a while and so sorry to hear NA and Cacophony, hope you guys are doing ok through all this

acquiring Ryan Reaves and Jeff Skinner on the same day - we're in the midst of a real golden era for the sharks organization

I don't mind losing Sam O’Reilly to take a big swing here but this reeks of desperation there's a lot of oiler muscle memory for this kinda "pencil the guy with 0 career games on the 1st line" kinda nonsense e.g. Robbie Schremp, Linus Omark, Magnus Puljujuarjkjlvi, Nail Yakupov, JF Jacques...

back to back headlines on Sportsnet earlier today:

"McDavid meets with management to future discuss direction of franchise" and "Kane traded"

surely unrelated

ideally it would be Nurse but I don't think Edmonton can do that without retaining salary

unpopular opinion but I trade Bouchard

great move by Edmonton

I think they gotta start Pickard for g5?

Probably Klingberg back in if Stetcher was benched

That was a terrible play by Stetcher but seemed kinda nuts to run 5 D for the rest of the game and not even waver in OT

I promised user practice not to text him during games because of the time zones but after that 3-0 first period I almost pout-texted him to say DONT EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME but good lord

OH MY GOD

I don't imagine Edmonton tries that again (penalty BS) - my guess is way more disciplined/focused effort

florida will play the same way they always do

on one hand it was stupid for Edmonton to goon it up in g3 but on the other hand I have a lotta time for Trent Frederic trying to break Sam Bennett's spine

pretty much need game of the year effort tonight but pretty much expecting 4-0 Florida

I agree with Stetcher in for Colonel Klingberg and sure why not J Skinner in for Arvidsson

could make a case for playing Captain Pickard over Stu but I get it

if you ask me it would be a huge Triumph for the oilers to win game 2 tonight
