No black cloud, mostly just gray lol. Like I said they have exceeded expectations for me. Anything past here is gravy.The black cloud never lifts with you.

Modano, Hull, Zubov, Hatcher.
These were names I couldn't f***ing stand growing up.
Time for some payback.
Yep. So glad the team is getting this again. Back to the conference finals and you drop pucks and play games. You never know. Oilers are here for real as one of the best teams this season. Particularly hottest team since the slow start.Hopefully its a closer series than some people are predicting. I like the matchup against Dallas better than Colorado personally.
Oettinger can be so hot/cold.
Hopefully our goaltending gives us a chance.
Being a true underdog may help the Oilers.
How do you figure that? We have Bouchard as our main weapon from the back end now. And we have Ekholm. And Hyman. That is 3 pieces that makes us miles better than that team.I know. But we are a much worse team than we were that year in the playoffs too.
He needs to be taken off center. You can run like…Tanev has been a monster shutting down opposition. It's a good thing we have separate McDavid and Drai lines humming, relatively speaking. Kane's gonna need to give the Zadorov treatment to Tanev, Heiskanen, Harley, pretty much all the Dallas defense.
Our third line needs to show up cause it's asking so much to have them saw off whichever of the Dallas top-3 lines they get with *looks it up* zero 5v5 goals this playoffs. I'd love to sit McLeod and give him a jolt but he really needs to be part of the solution in the bottom-6.
Dallas doesn't have near the physical defence that we just went through with the Canucks. They have Jamie Benn up front as a one man wrecking crew, but overall, they are a fast skilled skating team which will present some new challenges.Tanev has been a monster shutting down opposition.

Goaltending was miles better in that playoff and I think the team as a whole played better defensively.How do you figure that? We have Bouchard as our main weapon from the back end now. And we have Ekholm. And Hyman. That is 3 pieces that makes us miles better than that team.
Vegas took them to 7 by playing their physical brand of hockey. If we want to win we have to play that way too. If we try to out fast skill them their depth will take over game after game.Dallas doesn't have near the physical defence that we just went through with the Canucks.

And I'd love to sit both Foegele and McLeod, but you have to hope one or both somehow manage to turn things around.
Jesus man. Username checks out.I can't see how this will even be close with Skinner in net. We barely beat Vancouvers 3rd stringer and our #1 blew chunks and wasn't even tested in games 6 and 7. Shoot high glove or low blocker and you beat Skinner easily. Dallas will expose this and we are toast in 4.
4 more dubs til finals but agreed. I know Dallas is a good team and are favourites. But this team has been about settling scores and I hope that’s the next score we settle next!!Still pretty incredible to think that we’re in the final four considering where we were back in early November. Incredibly resilient group, that rough start has added another layer to them that is helping them take another step. Half way there. (Cue Kane and Bob Jovi)
We also have a little better power play and a better penalty kill.Overall we're an inferior team to Dallas (goalie, defense, forward depth), but we have McDrai. If we were to win, they're going to have to carry us.
Not to mention the couple times he was beat but they missed the net.Skinner post game I just prove again that I have it in me to bounce back I did it time and time again.
Please Cleopathra got less carried than you and your .882 again.
I had to engage that Leafs fan, he posts the same shit in every Oilers thread its so annoying. The mental gymnastics they do to convince themselves the Leafs (particularly Mathews and Marner) aren't no-heart choke artists is astounding.f***ing lol the mains post series thread got locked.
