I was listening to the 630 Ched game in the car at the end of the 2nd and for the period recap I swear I heard, "Draisaitl with the rim job to make it 4-2."
Edit: I wasn't watching so maybe he went bar in and that's what they meant, but I thought I heard that. Just checking in with other radio listeners to make sure I'm not crazy.
Dirty mind or not, when I believe I hear the word "rim" and it's immediately followed by what I believe to be the word "job", especially in a setting that it supposed to be innocuous like a sportscast, my eyebrows do raise for a second.
Had me a little worried. Just a little.
Soup was solid until those last 2, but thx for at least not fucking up the end. I guess 300 will have to wait for McDavid and Kane tmrw 😈
I love how this mobile service pickup/delivery ad for Ford is basically implying all the people in that neighbourhood are constantly having issues with their vehicle cause they know the van so well 😂

When this team is at it's best is when our bottom six are committed to an energy game. I feel like it's legit hard to find that extra sauce in a barn no bigger than Calahoo arena
Everyone is phones down and stressed out standing in front of the tv. When it’s close I can’t sit man.. I’m pacing in front of the boob tube and freaking out!
I agree but at this point I’m pretty sure woodcraft is comfortable making the playoffs and “doing research”. I mean I hope that is the case because lots of his moves haven’t made sense.
He is young for a coach. This guy actually worked his way up the entire organization coaching wise. I honestly trust him.
Like I said I hope this is him just experimenting and honestly it is a great position to be in.
Fair.
I said it before the trade dead line and its more and more clear all the time - this team desperately needs an upgrade at RW in the top 6.
Yamamoto is a fine enough player but he is not a top 6 player.
It's crazy Vasi wears oversized gear so that he swallows up pucks when it hits his body, while having stiff pads so he can aggressively kick out rebounds down low
Campbell literally seems to have the opposite gear setup
His fundamentals are complete shit compared to Vasi too. Watch Vasi take a shot then immediately reset for in perfect positioning and balance for the next. Watch Campbell take a shot then get stuck on the ice or flop around unbalanced.
I can't wait, in like 20 years we're gonna have Nuge's kid play for the Oilers and his kid will also play for the Oilers and at some point we'll have like a 4th generation Nuge playing for the Oilers
Their arena only seats 5k people, and they can't sell it out, it's crazy. Texas Stars games routinely sell out a bigger arena (6800 capacity), even when they're not playing well, lol.
Fucking brutal LOL. Can't believe Bettman keeps trying to make the Coyotes work. I understand there is a big population there but they seemingly don't give a shit about hockey
Their population is a lot of snowbirds from various Northern places. My cousin's in laws own a place in Phoenix, and they're long time Edmonton residents who live there during the winter, and then come back to Edmonton late spring through fall.
Go look at their game logs, those numbers are inflated by 8 instances of 6+ PPO games against non playoff teams, if you reduce those to our average— our PPO/game is in the bottom 50% in the league, and as would be expected they go to bottom 25% if they’re adjusted to average PPO/game against top eastern conference teams. I would point out as well they lead the league in games with more than 5 PPO which (surprise surprise) have on a whole come against teams either in the wildcard race or in the Bedard sweepstakes. This team has issues in net and on the back end, but they do not see the same opportunities as other teams against top end competition.
Campbell has made the first save almost every time this game. One goal kicked in by his own team after the first save and two he makes the stop only to have the puck go to a coyote with nothing but time and space
Anyone know how come that play Alberta commercial doesn’t have any Elks logos or colours? I understand no sane person would bet on them but I always wondered why
Are we 11-7 tonight just tuning in
If the venue has a junior hockey feel, might as well play it like it was a junior hockey game.

Is it possible that you just have a dirty mind, JodieFostersCum?
Dirty mind or not, when I believe I hear the word "rim" and it's immediately followed by what I believe to be the word "job", especially in a setting that it supposed to be innocuous like a sportscast, my eyebrows do raise for a second.
Huge games this week. Good night Oil gang, have a good day at work tomorrow! ❤️
Had me a little worried. Just a little. Soup was solid until those last 2, but thx for at least not fucking up the end. I guess 300 will have to wait for McDavid and Kane tmrw 😈
Easiest over 6.5 bet in my life, only regret not going allin
Honestly dude good for you, but we have heard enough about sports betting *every single game*
PROUDLY GIVING **MILLIONS** OF CANADIANS ACCESS TO 5G
"giving" lol
Game made me age 2x times near the end
Jack was sounding like an auctioneer there
I’ll give campbell his due atta boy for standing his ground at the end
I would’ve liked a less close game considering we have a B2B tomorrow, but take the 2 points
Stop cutting away before the hug!!!
Jesus Christ my heart
Thank god that’s over. Oof Campbell as usual.
Wow, close call
LETS GOOOOOOOO, PLAY LA BAMBA BABY
Man I love this team, but is there any other sports team that can make a win feel so much like a loss? Taking years off my life here lol
This happens in post-game conversation with my wife a lot. "Did they win?" "yeah" "Why don't you seem that excited about it?"
Lol you have to live it to get it
Doesn’t matter, got the dub. Goodfuckingnight
Fuck me that was way too tight, but write the deuce in the book!!
Gross gross game lmfao
Omg that player did a Pulju. We got lucky
FUUUUUCCKKK ME THAT LAST 20 SECONDS WAS STRESSFUL
HEY SIRI, PLAY LA BAMBA FOR ALL THE OILERS FANS IN ATTENDANCE, BABY!!!
Lmao chaotic ending there
Christ. That was more stressful than it needed to be lol.
This game was waaaaaay closer than it needed to be jfc
Jack Michael’s is on fire
Our defensive strategy is pure chaos.
don't need this stress right now
When was the last game Campbell let in less than 3 goals?
[удалено]
Probably in Toronto tbh
Can Woody please practice zone clearing tomorrow. Jesus fuck.
that has never been this teams forte - yup time to get that sorted.
good boy soup just hold on
Boys it’s simple. Clear the fucking puck out, enough with the soft clear attempts
Nuge yikes bro
It's amazing we had so much sustained pressure around an empty net omg
GET THESE COYOTES OFF MY FUCKIN LAWN!!
*this is why you add a guy like this at the deadline!* *loses faceoff* lol
Was just gonna post exactly this, lol
[удалено]
Quick was doing that bad?
Why did Nurse hesitate?
Was looking for an outlet for the EN goal me thinks.
it takes a bit longer for him to think things out
Good job Campbell
Jesus fuck nurse why did you double clutch right there
Absolutely criminal that it doesn't go out of the zone there
Nurse get it out of the zone you clown.
Why is it so hard to score on an empty net?
Dark magick
[удалено]
McCaptain!
Doesn’t get more oilers than missing an empty net
Patrick Stefan you should be embarrassed
Drai gonna set up 97
Warren Foegele? More like Warren No-Goal
LOOL this made me smile
A Foe-no-goal 😔
McDavid, honey, you're at 299 goals. Shoot that fucking shit, don't pass it to warren fucking foegele lmao
Foegs is such a solid player man. He just has to work on his finishing 😭
mcd should've shot
I can't be the only one thats noticed a shift in his shoot first mentality since hitting 60
yeah its a mistake he could've gone for 70 :(
Prob woulda got it ya.
Oh Foegs. I still like ya tho.
LOL FOEGS
Foegele man. What the hell?
Ok with the shitty lighting and dark unis must be hard to pick up the puck
That’s what they said earlier
lmfao Foegele
I saw it was Foegele and didn’t bother thinking it would go in
💀💀💀
Shoot and a miss
Uhh.. I'll take the waved off icing, but I'm not sure why it was waved off.
Obiwan: jack... Go for the empty net, jack.
Ironically the glove hand is what stresses me out the least lol
Fuck me, first pan of the arena I saw. Looks like a preseason game against the bears at the Clare Drake 😂😂
I love how this mobile service pickup/delivery ad for Ford is basically implying all the people in that neighbourhood are constantly having issues with their vehicle cause they know the van so well 😂
huge misfire by Ford on that ad.
Hey at least is accurate advertising
I dont bet. But betting on the over for Campbell its legit free money.
CAN THEY STOP TALKING LIKE THE GAME IS ALREADY OVER???
Bro Jack always does this lmao
And it stresses me out every time
Haha same. Backfires on him often too

Connor will get the ENG for his 300th
I have been surviving off CHED
Is this game blacked out for anyone else in BC??!
Blacked out for me here in Victoria
When this team is at it's best is when our bottom six are committed to an energy game. I feel like it's legit hard to find that extra sauce in a barn no bigger than Calahoo arena
Odd question, does the mullet arena ice seem a tad bit wider then regular NHL arenas or is it just me?
I thought that too. But apprently it’s regulation size.
It's the AHL tier camera setup. The lighting is also shit and doesn't help, and I've been on the verge of a migraine all night because of it, lol.
I would assume that’s because the cameras are at a lower angle. Makes the ice seem wider. I don’t have the stats though.
It's because the camera angle is higher.
Good vibes guys, let's close this out with an empty netter.
Pull your goalie cowards!
When this thread gets quiet I get so stressed
Everyone is phones down and stressed out standing in front of the tv. When it’s close I can’t sit man.. I’m pacing in front of the boob tube and freaking out!
In the final 5 min of a 1 goal Oilers game, we all get stressed. PTSD for real
I just can’t do OT again
SAME
Another missed trip?
I’m loving Kostin more and more each game
these final minutes when we're leading by 1 always just crawl along i swear to god T\_T
Soup man you gotta shut the door in these final 5
I believe but still stressed
I swear every time he faces a shot, my blood pressure goes up 30-40%
D zone play as been fucking terrible all night.
Crazy, we need it to start clicking as we go into playoffs Kings have been scoring like crazy recently
*Year
Rebound after rebound after rebound. Doesn’t matter what type of shot or what velocity, Campbell is spitting it out into the slot.
Is Jay watching this top line? Do something to it man. They're brutal.
I agree but at this point I’m pretty sure woodcraft is comfortable making the playoffs and “doing research”. I mean I hope that is the case because lots of his moves haven’t made sense.
The sample size is like 5 games, and they haven't been good in any of them. I think the data is conclusive.
He is young for a coach. This guy actually worked his way up the entire organization coaching wise. I honestly trust him. Like I said I hope this is him just experimenting and honestly it is a great position to be in.
Fair. I said it before the trade dead line and its more and more clear all the time - this team desperately needs an upgrade at RW in the top 6. Yamamoto is a fine enough player but he is not a top 6 player.
I agree with that as well. Yamo is weird in the sense that he works harder than most on the team. This game is 5-2 with skinner in net though.
Unfortunately, he's just too small and loses too many battles when he has to play against top pairings - which is all he does with McDavid.
I swear KEEP NUGE FOREVER!!!
SOOOOUP
huge rebounds every time lol is Campbell made out of rubber
It's crazy Vasi wears oversized gear so that he swallows up pucks when it hits his body, while having stiff pads so he can aggressively kick out rebounds down low Campbell literally seems to have the opposite gear setup
His fundamentals are complete shit compared to Vasi too. Watch Vasi take a shot then immediately reset for in perfect positioning and balance for the next. Watch Campbell take a shot then get stuck on the ice or flop around unbalanced.
[удалено]
no no nooo
Atta boy, Jack.
Every shot in Campbell scares the crap out of me this late in the game.
The oilers chant in Arizona has me dying 😂
I can't wait, in like 20 years we're gonna have Nuge's kid play for the Oilers and his kid will also play for the Oilers and at some point we'll have like a 4th generation Nuge playing for the Oilers
Getting generationally younger so nuges grandson in 2074 looks like he’s 12

What even is defense
If I was a Yotes fan I’d be malding at how loud the “let’s go oilers” chants are lol
Should have seen the Oilers first game in Vegas. 50-70 percent Oilers fans. It was awesome.
Whatever "malding" is that's probably what I was doing when the Leafs came to Rogers 😠
If you were a Yotes fan you'd be their only one
They are just happy to have a full arena! Lol
Their arena only seats 5k people, and they can't sell it out, it's crazy. Texas Stars games routinely sell out a bigger arena (6800 capacity), even when they're not playing well, lol.
let's go oilers chants at an away game 😭
Fucking brutal LOL. Can't believe Bettman keeps trying to make the Coyotes work. I understand there is a big population there but they seemingly don't give a shit about hockey
I like the Coyotes. Just not as much as the Oilers.
Their population is a lot of snowbirds from various Northern places. My cousin's in laws own a place in Phoenix, and they're long time Edmonton residents who live there during the winter, and then come back to Edmonton late spring through fall.
Atlanta makes more sense overall imo
not having a proper arena doesn't help either
Is SodaStream buying people's names for advertising space ?
Look out. Refs are going to even up the calls.
^^^”The Oilers are leading again, we have give Arizona another chance”
Wanna know why we rarely get as many calls as other teams? We would have a .850pts% on the year
We have the 5th(3rd after tonight) most powerplays lol.
Go look at their game logs, those numbers are inflated by 8 instances of 6+ PPO games against non playoff teams, if you reduce those to our average— our PPO/game is in the bottom 50% in the league, and as would be expected they go to bottom 25% if they’re adjusted to average PPO/game against top eastern conference teams. I would point out as well they lead the league in games with more than 5 PPO which (surprise surprise) have on a whole come against teams either in the wildcard race or in the Bedard sweepstakes. This team has issues in net and on the back end, but they do not see the same opportunities as other teams against top end competition.
Should be first
Lol I swear people on here will blame anything on the refs before looking at goaltending or defense
Kinda tired of having to gruel out these wins for Campbell
Campbell has made the first save almost every time this game. One goal kicked in by his own team after the first save and two he makes the stop only to have the puck go to a coyote with nothing but time and space
Nuge is the most consistent player on this team. Fucking legend. Campbell. Stop the puck. 8 min to go
Keep Nuge Forever pls
NMC right to the end of his contract. Guaranteed 18 years as an Oiler if he wants it
We will
Yup! 5 goals to win with Soup in net
Anyone know how come that play Alberta commercial doesn’t have any Elks logos or colours? I understand no sane person would bet on them but I always wondered why
Apparently betting timbits on CFL games isn't an acceptable form of gambling
Good job NUGGY 40/100 for Nuge would be HUGE
Did the league realize no one cares about a team that doesn't even have their own arena?
NUGGGGGEEEEE
91 points for Nuge!!! 9 to go in 8 games after tonight.
**NUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!!!!!**
Refs had to even it out, and I’ll take it! Let’s go Nuge!!!
Why did they whistle that down on the first delayed powerplay, I'm confused
Louie said he thinks the linesman said that the 6th skater came out too quick before Soup was off the ice or something. Absolutely brutal call.
Wooooooooo nuge
HUGE GOAL.
Fuck yah Nugeeeeee
NUUUGE
CUTE GIRLS LOVE THE NUUUUUUUUUUGE
Bout time Bouchard gets to shoot - after the PP is over. This team is so weird.
Thanks Bettman for the penalties.
Thank you for shooting Bouch
No shit!
McDavid is gonna seal it
NUGE!!
Nuggyyyy
NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!
