Valriera Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Edmonton has been good, so this will be a challenge. I think we probably shut one down at home and win 4-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Definitely not a trap game. The Oilers are playing as well as any team in the NHL since Knoblauch was hired and McDavid returned from his short injury stint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they've become better since he left. I think they've won 11 of their last 14. They were 3 and 8 when he was here. Looks like Othmann got hot immediately after he left too. IDK why I'm just not a believer in Knoblauch. I'm sorry I've been really negative towards him. Just seems like he hadn't done much for Hartford and is living off the fact that he once coached McDavid in Jrs (and got little out of him). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) I don’t see this as a trap. I see this as a game they have circled on the calendar. Friday night, MSG, an ESPN game and McDavid? I think they come out ready to play tonight. Edited December 22, 2023 by RichieNextel305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't start of too great after the hire. They did go on a tear of winning 8 in a row, but mostly against dregs of the league. They all count though. They have a really good roster and as always sub par goaltending. Edmonton always give the Rangers fits. I don't know why these 2 teams get chippy in their matchups. Draisatl especially. Guy puts on his extra large ball sack when he plays the Rangers. As always, I figure the Rangers will play down to a not so good goalie. Skinner has a 3.04 gaa. And a.884 save %. Its almost a guaranteed shut out or 1 goal against game, with 24 SOG. Its definitely a trap. Admiral Ackbar fuckin knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 It's never a trap game when you're going against McDavid and Draisaitl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Can't get into a track meet with Oilers. If they play defense first they'll take this. Playing in a tournament tonight so I'm going to miss this one. Depending on everyone here for a good review of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Rangers haven't played in three days, are on a three-game winning streak, and going up against an "underdog" Oilers team coached by the guy the Rangers wouldn't hire, who are desperately trying to get back into the playoff picture. Maybe this isn't the most traditional trap game, but there's all kinds of red flags on this one. That said, 4-3 Rangers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
