qwksndmonster Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Awww, man. I just realized the new Oilers barn has the bench opposite the camera. I'm going to miss that "WTF" moment whenever I turn on one of their home games.Awwww. Quote
WildCard Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 McDavid to the dressing room... Aaaaaaand he's back on the bench. Maybe that will be Jack tomorrow... Quote
MattPie Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) so this happened.. https://twitter.com/mkmolnar/status/786376132341882880/video/1 Where's Rob Ray when you need him. Edited October 13, 2016 by MattPie Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 McDavid has two points already tonight too. Crazy night. McDavid penalty shot opportunity he scores, 2 G and 1 A so far tonight, Oil up 5-3. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 What are the chances that eichel is the "worst" of the young guns.... And that's tongue in Cheek....its certainly lying not 1 and 1a with him and Connor.... And obviously the book is out on Matthews.... But 4 goals is kinda big Quote

But 4 goals is kinda big I mean, does it matter who has the worst of Crosby-Malkin-Ovechkin? I really don't care where Eichel ends up relative to those two. Quote

I really don't care where Eichel ends up relative to those two.I get where you're at, but to compare Jack to any of those 3 yet is a little premature. He's very good, and for a healthy sabres team, that might be all we need..... But very good to elite is quite a distinction and elite is still outta his reach right now Quote

But very good to elite is quite a distinction and elite is still outta his reach right now For sure, but out of the recent groups of rookies, I think McDavid-Eichel-Matthews would be the three I choose to be the Crosby-Ovechkin-Malkin group that has the best shot to be the best forwards in the world for the next ten years. They all need to do a lot of work to get there, but I can't say I'd switch any of those guys out for someone else. Quote
Huckleberry Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) so this happened.. https://twitter.com/mkmolnar/status/786376132341882880/video/1 To bad he didn't do it naked like in football :P Mcdavid and Eichel wished they had a debut like Matthews though :P But on the other hand the pressure will now be on the kid playing like that for Toronto all the time.

bunomatic Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) The oilers new barn is nice but apparently they built it with little to no parking and now the city is having a field day fining everyone for charging to park in their yards and parking fines. Eventually they'll pay off the arena on the revenue from tickets. Parking tickets. Edited October 13, 2016 by bunomatic Quote
Hoss Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 I mean, does it matter who has the worst of Crosby-Malkin-Ovechkin? I really don't care where Eichel ends up relative to those two. Well, the worst of them doesn't have a cup Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Well, the worst of them doesn't have a cup Wait, you think Malkin is better than Ovechkin? Quote
WildCard Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Well, the worst of them doesn't have a cup Ovechkin is hands down better than Malkin Quote
Hoss Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Wait, you think Malkin is better than Ovechkin? Debatable. I actually don't and just assumed he ordered them to show Ovechkin as the worst. But irrelevant, really. Too early to draw that comparison and it's cheating when two of three are on the same team. Quote

Randall Flagg Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Yeah, I didn't mean to put an order to that. And to be fair to Ovie, he's had a team built around him that has a chance at the cup for approximately one year. Last year. Quote
WildCard Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Yeah, I didn't mean to put an order to that. And to be fair to Ovie, he's had a team built around him that has a chance at the cup for approximately one year. Last year.He's had more chances than that Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 He's had more chances than that Yes. However, the team also tried to sabotage his prime by trying to play like the Devils for about three years. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 What Caps teams were good enough defensively? The year he scored 65, they wouldn't have made the playoffs without him. They've had a few "that's definitely a playoff team without Ovie" teams but until last year their defense ranged from tire fire to mediocre, and their goaltending was suspect (Holtby is now a Vezina contender) Quote

I thought those teams were good enough to make a run. Quote

I thought those teams were good enough to make a run.Well, the Halak team was an 8 seed that ended up losing to a team that lost decidedly to the Hawks that year, but I know that a hot goalie can beat any team on his own sometimes. And I don't remember much about the Rangers-Caps series, but they've never gotten out of the second round with Ovechkin, so I don't know. Quote

WildCard Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Montreal.They didn't ay the Hawks then. Unless I'm reading that incorrectly Montreal lost to Philly. My mistake Edited October 13, 2016 by WildCard Quote
beerme1 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 With Jonathan Quick getting hurt and being out for six weeks or more for the Kings, I just want to say that I hope Jeff Zatkoff shits the bed and kills their season. Zatkoff too. Quote
