[Laineux]

Score more than three goals and win. That's all I'm asking.

Thanks for putting this up. I just came to read it and was about to start my own. Didn’t want to put myself out there and get grief for lack of effort. Anyway, you did a real crap job on it and you should be ashamed ;-)

 

[McGuinness]

Huge win if they can pull this one off! Let's go boys!

 

[GMofOilers]

A win tonight puts us 2 points out of a playoff spot and 3 points from 2nd in the Pacific.

Hope bandana guy got his season tickets and will be repping us tonight

Haha I thought whether I should post this zero effort OP, but that's why it's just a pre-game thread.

 

[oXo Cube]

Well, this one certainly feels like a huge game.

Don't let me down, Oilers.

 

[KingKhron]

When they make me believe, I seem to have all faith stolen the next game. I’m still super stoked to have had my first experience in a box for the last game. Obviously it’s following an 8-2 win but I’m feeling better about the play of almost everyone lately. Klefbom isn’t the complete tire fire and is getting it together a little. Pulju looks like a genuine asset and not just a place filler. The bottom 6 has a few players starting to step up. I’ll say again that I wish we had signed Nurse earlier because he’s looking great and what a fantastic pairing him and Larsson are. Man, they will just punish people paired together and I’d hate to be on the opposite team going into a corner against those boys.

I haven’t moved my seats and am sick as hell, so if I can find him, he can have mine.

2 bad losses in a row from the Blues so I am expecting a very hard fought game. I simply think the Blues are too good to allow 3 losses in a row so I am expecting a very fun to watch 3-2 OT loss.

Team is on the uptick so I think they still manage a point tonight.

Why does this not surprise me. Always about the other team, and never bout the oilers.

had my hopes up the goal scoring would normalize after the Devils game and it didn't.
so I too hope for at least 3 goals by the oilers. (and a win)

and unless I'm mistaken, hasn't RNH been in on 30% of Edmonton goals this season?
that seems pretty awesome.
I think last year he was in on about 17%

every team that had a loss is going to be coming in fired up instead of in a slump

we have our best game of the year and instead of building on it we're gonna suck

 

[ElysiumAB]

Let's go boys.

 

[MoneyGuy]

This is my first game of the season in person so I'm hoping for an OT win, but I'm not expecting a win.

 

[NeverForget06]

This is a big one! A win here spells a turn around as far as I'm concerned.

Another afternoon game coming up Saturday, so we need a win tonight

 

[MoneyGuy]

How can you lose when Willie is cheering for you?

He is in on 100% of goals he is involved in! Just messing around, in a good mood for this one. I think they pull out the win tonight! Cammalleri with a goal!

Go Oilers

Because this team hasnt really had 2 good games in a row? Had a 6-3 game and then got blown out the next game.

Had a single 2 game win streak but one of those games we absolutely shouldn't have won.

This team is definitely improving and I'm optimistic but against a top 3 team in the league I think they will out hustle us and there is nothing wrong with that

 

[PaPaDee]

Enjoyed watching my 2nd Oiler game of the year (and the offensive performance), but I'm not convinced they've turned it around yet, and the Blues will be hungry. 4-1 Blues.

That doesn’t sound too optimistic to me

St Louis has been struggling lately and even though Allen is no 4th string goalie (he's been close against the Oilers though) this is a very good opportunity for the boys tonight.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

This schedule is so unfair. It seems we keep getting teams that were just beaten by Calgary and looking to bounce back. Maybe the refs and schedulers have gotten together... they need Toronto to win the cup for the $$$.

I've more so noticed that many teams are playing us and then Calgary on back-to-backs through Alberta, but haven't noticed it the other way around yet. I'm sure it will balance out eventually.

If this team had proven that they could bring it 2 games in a row I would think we could beat a top 3 team on a rough streak. Because they haven't I think right now they could beat most other teams on a night like tonight.
