GDT Oilers at Sabres 11/24/17 7PM MSG, WGR

[Thorner]

So we're healthy now (Bogosian doesn't count). Go out and win.

 

It's really boiling down to him understanding what kind of player he needs to be both in the game, each shift, and off the ice, all the time.  He clearly doesn't get it yet.  He appears to be harboring some expectation of entitlement to being a great player.  Right now it's clearly his head that's the problem.

 

If not already posted in the Around the NHL thread I will link to an article on Jagr's influence on Gadreau.

 

I'll still be watching tonight, but I will also flip the Minnesota vs. Notre Dame hockey game too (thanks for pointing it out!)

I think it would be of great benefit to the youth to bring in a vet leader like that, if one can be found. Jagr would have been a good idea, in retrospect.

I thought that's what ROR was here for

I think in the end O'Reilly was almost as much in need of veteran leadership as the younger kids.

Sakman — excellent post.

It's hard for me to describe how excited I was to go to this game with my family when we picked it as part of a mini pack, versus how unexcited I am to go now. At least we're doing Hydraulic Hearth for dinner.

 

yup, this was the game I was most excited about in October and now I sold the tickets for $70 per....good times

If he can't be motivated by a match-up against McDavid, especially at home, to really show what he really has to offer, he probably never will.

 

And if McDavid is what has to motivate him, he's a loser already.

[Beer]

I'm looking forward to seeing McDavid in action.

Aw man I miss Static-X

Yeah I've been diving down some staticx YouTube rabbit holes lately. So pissed I didn't get to see Wayne. Heroin.

Sounds like something out of a bad porn

[Stoner]

Yeah, Brian, Jack and Connor are inseparable.

[darksabre]

Welp, let's see if these guys give a tonight.

[Tondas]

Always risky before the game starts, but I think Antipin has gotten noticeable better since the seasons start.

Botterill: "Our core is very passionate."

Core is the worst buzz word of all time! Worst ever! I hate it.

[darksabre]

Who the crap is that goalie?

What the hell just happened?

Mediocre.

Can we get someone who actually knows when the puck is in the net to operate the goal light

[Thorner]

That's twice recently the goal judge turned on the red light when it didn't go in.

 

Must be drunk.

[PromoTheRobot]

That goal judge is going to be sacked.

Time to put a chip in the puck and take the human element out of it.

[Thorner]

Canadian analysts calling Eichel's contract ludicrous in the pre game. I'd love to see him light it up tonight.

[Stoner]

I still say a lot of players fall inexplicably on that ice.

[Brawndo]

Alex Nylander scores 51 seconds into the game in Rochester

[Stoner]

Eichel on the backcheck!

[Neo]

Eichel backchecks purposefully ...
