Matt Henderson: G49 Oilers vs Flames: Blunt Instruments

Oilers suck. Puljujarvi was the wrong pick. Talbot will run out of gas before the season ends.

Oilers 3-0 vs the flames this year.
Draisaitl >> Bennett
Talbot >>> either of your goalies
mcdavid >>>>>>>>>>>>> everyone on your team


Puju 5 pts in 5 games since being sent down. He'll be just fine.
Leon didn't have a dissimilar rookie year. He got sent down, owned the competition and regained his confidence, and look at that beast now !

Lander has vastly outscored him in that same period of time.

Lots of retorts yet nothing adresses Talbot running out of gas. He must be pretty tired having played through overtime last night.

You keep brining up that the oilers have one every game this year 3-0!! Good for them but. Remember I think it was 12 or 14 in a row. Soooooo let's talk if that happens. Draisaitl is 22 and Bennett is 20 doesn't sound like much but remember draisaitl at that age he was sent to the rockets!!!!! Talbot yeah he has played good all season and he is a yuge reason for your teams success. And mcdavid well a player you shouldn't have even got but that's the past and he is in a league of his own. Saying all of that the flames are a better team should win tonight 5-3

Draisatl is 21. Remember when they were picked one after the other in the same draft?

What does lander have to do with anything?

As I said, puju has immediately produced.


As far as talbot, why retort to that? It's guess work on your part (dare I say 'hope')

Goalies have played the vast majority of seasons in the past and been fine.
Until he stops playing brilliantly most nights, it's a non issue . But it's a big one if he does

No he is 22

This is the first time I've mentioned our record against you guys this season actually.
In a retort to a flames fan mind you...

I couldnt care less about our dismal record in the past too.
It has no bearing on this season whatsoever. Different squads. Different outcomes.

I don't know why we "shouldn't" have got Connor. Are you implying deserve or not? No such thing

As far as the flames being better, you have absolutely no evidence to back that claim up. Quite the opposite

No he is 22
- pzoxic

Dude, He's 21

He went in the same draft as Bennett. And he was sent back to Kelowna when he was 19 actually. Not 20.

I've haven't been unable to follow the Oilers like I want this year

(serious answers only) What is your breakdown of the team? how has Larsson looked to you? Whose impressed you? Whose disappointed you? Think a few names come to mind but I want to hear your takes.

Also what do you think they should do from now until the trade deadline?

My bad looked it up you are right!!! Bennett is still going to be better

McDavid and Talbot pretty much carry the team. Eberle hits a lot of posts. Pulju has been a dissapointment. Radim Vrbata has stolen three points from the Oil single-handedly.

They will probably pick up a backup at the deadline. An extra third pairing defenseman wouldn't hurt either.

Doesn't look anything like that at present, but we'll see.

I'll counter that argument with my own though.
Despite tkachuk being far better at present to puju (like Leon is to sam) I think puljujarvi will be the better player in the future.

Eberle does hit alot of posts. And vrbata has stolen a few!

You forgot to mention that the oilers stole 5 from the flames as well. But to be fair the first two games weren't really 'steals'. They just flat out took them while the flames looked on

Just watched the highlights of Pulju's last game. He coasted around as Stockton scored and coasted around a few minutes later when they scored the game winner. Wasn't covering his point properly. But hey, atleast he got one himself when it didn't matter.

A hat trick for the Janitor though.

Well that seals it I guess!

Personally, I won't be too stoked if puju is doing well in the farm 5 seasons After being drafted like the janitor. But hey, that's just me. Your metrics on what constitutes success are clearly much lower than mine. I mean sh1t, you guys are still claiming the flames better despite all the evidence to the contrary

A lot of poop talking from Flames fans this morning. Do they not remember any of the games so far between our teams this season? Sam Bennett better than Draisaitl?

Ooooo AHL hat trick. Toobad he can't make the show. Is he pushing 30 yet? Seems like he was drafted forever ago!

Well that seals it I guess!

Hah Nah, the Oil are better at the time being. I can't make that claim.

But I can certainly debate in conjecture with sound reasoning.

He's as old as Yak. That's probably the easiest way to remember it. I would recommend you use the season where the Oilers finished dead last as a memory device but that might start to get confusing.

Nice avatar.

That's all us oiler fans have had in the past half decade. And not even always sound reasoning. but a whole helluva lot of conjecture !
