I think we’re just gonna pretend that whole shit show on Thursday didn’t happen for this game day thread. So what else is there to talk about you ask? Jarry and Poulin have been traded to the Oilers and in return we received Stuart Skinner(Goalie), Brett Kulak(Defenseman), and a 2029 2nd round pick. And Dubas managed to do this without retaining a cent of Jarry’s contract, which I’m sure many of thought was impossible.

Now we’re on to game 3 of our 5 game home stretch, this time against the San Jose Sharks. We last met up with the Sharks on October 18th and came out with a 3-0 victory. This will be our final battle of the season and surprisingly, San Jose is not total ass this year, which should make for a more interesting match. Let’s hope the boys can use this game to get some of their confidence back and start winning some games again.

GDT Question: Do you all hate early games too? Hockey feels absolutely terrible in the middle of the day to me.
