My best case scenario in this series-and to end the playoffs- is to watch that Rat Matty Tkachuk raise the cup at center ice in Edmonton with a big grin on his face.

I might have to take a hiatus from hockey for a while. I can’t believe I’ll be putting all my hopes into tkatchuk’s hands lol ( yes I’m assuming FLA wins that series)

Had Dallas won one bloody face off on the power play ?

Dallas looks softer than I thought. Other than Benn and Marchment they really don’t make the game punishing. No matter what happens with all the Canuck UFAs they have to find a way to keep a good balance of toughness

Coilers have shamrocks .. how many teams go through most of the regular season and into 3rd round with no injuries on defence ..

Diving champions

imagine being gifted a guy being compared to Gretzky and Lemieux and you give him Skinner and Darnell as a supporting cast. lolol.

Next game 45 minutes of mcdavid drai ..

Order will be restored in the universe when these frauds get booted!!!

And soft..

I’ll never cheer for a team built by a (draft lotto) slot machine!

Just more to think about if Hronek / Necas is a possibility:

Agree with you - its the most reasonable scenario from a trade perspective. Also trying to think of who would be involved if Hronek wasnt involved. Hoglander? Silovs? (didnt goaltending let Carolina down?)

Finally calling the bitch

Shesterkin Bobrovsky Oettinger Skinner

someone tell me why lafferty was put in again

The panel - fuck em Lets do this!!

There’s a few things at play here I think. I don’t think it’s just a matter of, or simple as, our guys not showing up. No matter how much we mock them their top players are the elite of the elite. 1. matchups are huge in this series. Oilers were getting their top guys out there in favourable situations. This leads to a lot of momentum. On the road and in our barn it’s a lot harder for them to do that. 2. I think some are underestimating the absolute disaster it will be for the oilers to lose this series. They are at the cusp of the end of the McDrai era. Those guys’ legacies as oilers are on the line. They absolutely couldn’t fail especially in a humiliating fashion on home ice. These guys are good players playing for more than just round 2 survival. The failure goes back years and they have been carrying that load on their backs. Our guys looked overwhelmed after the first when the oilers scored a couple. i expect a different response now that the Canucks season is on the line and we get home ice where tocch can dictate the matchups . I also think Skinner will probably be skinner.

The goalie I’m assuming they are going to play is Skinner. A career .88x in the playoffs. His numbers this year are slightly worse than last year. It’s skinner . Some of you guys are acting as if this is over. Just put in the effort of game 5.

This team has been resilient all year. Home ice is a big boost with last change matchups, winning that position in regular season will pay off (i hope). If we lose, JR/Allvin will recalibrate the team...if the coilers lose its a massive organizational failure that could result in that team imploding like the flames did a couple years ago. Yeah, they had a little motivation tonight...and will have it on Monday. I have faith in our guys at home.

still in this
