Pre-Game Report: Edmonton Oilers vs Washington Capitals

[@Amsalja12]

Oilers vs caps is my dream Stanley cup. Obviously would want Edmonton to win though

[@Bromslee]

Don't worry guys we can just Pin OVI down for the whole 3rd period, the NHL is cool with it....

[@EachandEvery86]

🤣🤣

[@halcyon-cg2eb]

😃👍

[@Squishysforbreakfast]

No one is pinning Ovie on the Oilers. Desharnais is gone.

[@Adequatelycaffeinated]

Or elbow him in the face

[@dumbo753]

Then you gotta be fine with ovi cross checking drai square in the head

[@DUSTER-BUSTER88]

Holy Austin up early with the report!!! Good man lol

[@EachandEvery86]

Anyone going to the game, please make it playoff loud to help rally around the team and Mcdavid.

[@Bornie1977]

I will add... "Anyone going to the game... Congratulations". 😅

[@GT-bx1jp]

1st line > DRAI, HYM, POD 2nd line > NUGE, ARVI, SKIN

[@clobberonline6812]

We need a big one from Hyman in the next three !!

[@Cboyer0915]

I kinda wish we would do a little trial run with savoie these next 3 games. It can’t hurt to give him a few games. He’s been playing really well in Bakersfield. Not a huge deal tho

[@Par.k3r2008]

You know man what you said yesterday resonated with me a lot, I had a rough go at school for a few years where everyone was harassing me and made up a bunch of bs, sent me death threats, threats anything you can imagine, I got punched around too nearly jumped, I finally snapped after 2 years and sent a message to the girl that started it saying I’d get the police involved if she didn’t stop and I nearly got suspended for “threatening a t” The nhl and school systems are equally whack

[@bastiangutierrez2188]

My PTW: Zach Hyman Withinout McDavid, He MUST step up big time for the next three games if he really wants to prove that last year’s 50 goal season wasn’t a fluke even though I is no longer possible for him to get back on pace for that crazy goal scoring but he absolutely needs to come out huge! This is gonna be tough considering the Caps are basically fully healthy but since we are at home and the Oilers’ home record has been very good since December so I’d say 4-2 because our glorious king Leon Draisaitl is gonna score an empty netter 🥹

[@gpowderxdd]

I hope Jeff Skinner is playing

[@quinperson4420]

Hopefully Wes isn’t reffing tonight 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@halcyon-cg2eb]

Or ever again......

[@OriginalOcelot]

I hope the oiler actually have a good start

[@cindyrussell1581]

I would put Brown on the Frist line instead of Jeff Skinner. Let's win this for all fans but especially for MaDavid.

[@GT-bx1jp]

Brown is NOT a top 6 player! He does not have capability to FINISH/SCORE. He's a great hard-working 3rd line player at best. I think Skinner is a better top 6 scorer.

[@cindyrussell1581]

@GT-bx1jp Conner plays way better than Jeff Skinner, regardless our goalies suck..anyways.

[@homielander5924]

Need high man and nuge to get some goals while Connor is gone

[@FightingSiouxHockey]

All those who make millions need to score...including Nurse.

[@Simple_101]

Jeff Skinner needs to showcase himself to the coach for these next 3 games. Hope he succeeds. He would add a new twist to the dynamics of the Oilers’ offence.

[@FightingSiouxHockey]

Time for J.Skinner to step up for the next 3 games! ....If her doesn't, he needs to do the right thing and waive his NTC so we can trade him. 🙄

[@BrandonPotts-l8b]

Is this broadcasting from in edmonton?

[@AHockey1993]

Yes it’s in Edmonton tonight!

[@kojhuj]

hey man do you upload these in podcast form or nah?

[@AHockey1993]

I was uploading them to Spotify and what not, can start doing that again as I got out of the rhythm lol

[@BodynHome]

Okay Austin, I’m going 5-3 Edmonton! We’re getting an empty netter!!!! lol and my play J skinner because if he wants any chance to stay here in Edmonton this is probably his last shot.

[@andrewdiles2152]

Shooting percentage for the caps is largely tied to Ovi. He takes a lot of shots and has an absurb % this year. Will it regress or is he just one of the best at picking his shots 🤔

[@EclipseJay]

Id swap Hyman and Arviddson . Give Drai some guys who can finish for a change . We'll see what knobgoblin has in store now that he has no nuclear option

[@michaelkeller5927]

Nuge needs the help more. If anything I'd switch Podz and Skinner

[@homielander5924]

Hyman only finishes tap ins from mcdavid though

[@Never-t3]

Play klingberk looked great in practice…not to sure about playing Philip 🤔

[@AHockey1993]

Klingberg isn't game-ready yet, probably will be in a week or two we'll see him in game action

[@FightingSiouxHockey]

When did you see him? 😎

[@plazmarevenge2098]

McDavid had the right to appeal the suspension directly to Bettman....why not try.

[@AHockey1993]

Historically Bettman upholds player safety decisions, he could try but it sounds like he isn’t going to which I understand

[@plazmarevenge2098]

@@AHockey1993 It just occurred to me that maybe after tonight's game he should make the attempt and reduce it to a one game suspension.

[@FightingSiouxHockey]

We will not win a high scoring game...nor a 4 3 game....we need to win 2 - 1. That's it...😎

[@Venture143]

Oilers are going to rebound after the last game, Canucks fans hate watching will see another 2pt Drai game as the oilers down the caps 3-1.

[@michaelkeller5927]

I dont want to hear about a Presidents trophy curse. There was a curse not to touch the Campbell trophy for winning the WCF and we still lost.

[@jeniasmackay7931]

Well the only thing I seen from Noah Phil.... not much and he got 2 minutes at a crucial time in the game...

[@nomadgamingyt484]

Well with the canucks playing dirty as usual and mcdavid being out this is going to be very rough. I really hope the team rallies behind mcdavid and plays their asses off and then is ready to fight when it comes to the game vs the canucks again. Score prediction is 4-2 caps

[@jdsu2000]

The game is over. S. Skinner is 0.786 save %, 3 goals in 14 shots. He looked so bad on the 3rd goal, his reflex is terrible, the puck was in before he made his move. Grade B goalie at best. The Oilers need a true #1 goalie.

[@janisdurwael269]

Hyman ditch the face mask, not scoring with it on...

[@Khalistan159]

Why is Skinner d o g s h I t.
