foegele, kulak and brassard with a point tonight
4-1 win
4-1 win
After what oilers fans have gone through the last two years, it’s warranted for us to not feeling confident. I completely agree with you. Letting them tie the series up the way they did just has me feeling bad about the series right now. I sure hope the Oilers prove me wrong though!I have no idea what to expect but my feeling is that it was a bad idea to let what looked like a broken team off the mat and give them confidence although L.A. deserves credit for taking it to the Oilers.
Now it's a Best of 3 that will essentially come down to lucky bounces and randomness because things will likely tighten up now that the finish line is near.
I can't say that I have the utmost confidence in the Oilers holding up in a tightly contested game so they'll need to put them away early if they want to win IMO.
that game was almost not frustrating. We were being out played, and that happens to even great teams, but even then we still almost made that game interesting. There was some great chances and possessions, and imo it was mostly luck that kept that puck out, and if one went in it might have rallied the team.After what oilers fans have gone through the last two years, it’s warranted for us to not feeling confident.

As long as it is with a focused energy, not scattered like game 1!I watched Woodcroft interview this morning. He said they are coming out smoking. I believe him
7-1 tonight
yeah, hopefully since they know this opponent it should be directed energy. We just got to win this series. LA didn't even expect to be here. They shouldn't want this as much as our guys do. Our team has not been in the playoffs enough. It's actually embarrassing that McDavid and Drai don't have more GP in the playoffs. The team has to get it done now.As long as it is with a focused energy, not scattered like game 1!
You’re right! Ugh I’m nervous. We lose this game and ….. oh boythat game was almost not frustrating.

You a former goalie? (splits) I missed if you've said that.How’s everyone doing today? Right on! I’m gonna get Arby’s at lunch, but anyway. I’m here to coach em up. I thought this was obvious, but apparently it isn’t, and we need an image of where to beat Quick
The green is how you beat Quick. The red is where you won’t beat Quick. Any questions, I’ll be here till 11:00 P.M. (or however long it takes to win this game)

Smaller goalies have smaller five holes.You a former goalie? (splits) I missed if you've said that.
ps why wouldn't shooters just aim for the 5 hole there. Or anywhere upstairs? Small goalies, other than Fuhr are not often my favorites. Prefer size in net. Just a lot more covered by a man like Smith.
well at least we can't be playing them next round. Colorado's got to be laughing with the Minny/St.Louis series probably going the distance.Sure would have been nice to get the win in Game 4 with a chance to close out the series tonight. Colorado relaxing for a full week while everyone else beats the hell out of each other Is not good news.
I expect Oilers to win tonight. I equally expect them to follow their pattern and struggle in game 6.I know the Oilers can have pretty wild hot and cold swings, but last game was so bad that I am now worried about tonight. Was pretty confident going into last game, but I'm concerned.
Not a factor in my opinion. A Colorado matchup would still be likely three weeks away if Edmonton could get there and whoever they play in the 2nd round, they'll take a pound of flesh.Sure would have been nice to get the win in Game 4 with a chance to close out the series tonight.

But if you bag them in the junk with a shot you take them out of the play... heh. I stopped being interested in goaltending when people started being able to crank shots like adults.Smaller goalies have smaller five holes.
