qwksndmonster Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 McDavid to the dressing room... Aaaaaaand he's back on the bench. Maybe that will be Jack tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share 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.

Randall Flagg Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought those teams were good enough to make a run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

beerme1 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
