[ZJuice]

Sending McDavid and the rest of the boys my magical vibes

 

[Paralyzer]

Gotta finish this in 3 games. Don't want to wait from Tuesday to Saturday for another Playoff game...

 

[GMofOilers]

More domination? Yes please.

My only worry is goaltending at this point.

 

[xoczar99ox]

So it’s like Game 1 all over again. Including the stress…

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Best of five.

Need to win at least one in LA. Just like a few weeks ago.

 

[GMofOilers]

So it’s like Game 1 all over again. Including the stress…

No stress, they dominated game 1

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

I want an Oilers W for my Eid gift

 

[5 14 6 1]

Let's get it Oil

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

No stress, they dominated game 1

I got pretty stressed in the 3rd period of game 1

 

[RattsSSV]

Can't wait, hopefully they play a tighter game.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

just keep playing the way you're playing Oilers, it's the Kings that need to adapt not the Oilers

be smart and they out of the box and if we get some PPs and McDavid produces, the Oilers will definitely win

 

[Zerotonine]

Gotta finish this in 3 games. Don't want to wait from Tuesday to Saturday for another Playoff game...

WTF how does the league even allow this? Obviously full priority given to the NBA

 

[FlameChampion]

I think we will see a more disciplined team on the road.

Hopefully we pull out a win.

 

[NeverForget06]

We are the better team. We play our game and we will win this game and the series. LA has had almost no zone time so far. They have capitalized on very few chances and got some bounces. Our PK has done well so far considering the circumstances.

The focus in this game needs to be discipline and smart plays.

 

[Paralyzer]

WTF how does the league even allow this? Obviously full priority given to the NBA

What they SHOULD have done, is rent out Honda Center for either games, but no, they have too much pride to have 3 fulltime professional teams in 1 building.

 

[Mr Positive]

I feel like if we lose this series, it's because we gave it away. It's our mistakes that they feast off of. Our team carries the play. This is the perfect opponent to sharpen the blade with, especially when it comes to players further down the lineup who just need to clean up their play. For instance Desharnais made horrible mistakes but when he is on he is such a great presence. I'm glad Woody hasn't benched him. But, Vinny's got to step up with consistency

 

[Mez]

I think they Oilers break through Korpi and the Refs tonight, 5-1 Oil.

 

[trojansoilers]

Need Connor to go supernova tonight. He’s due for a big game

 

[iCanada]

I don't feel nervous today and that makes me nervous.

 

[soothsayer]

"I had a 0.5 ppg against the Kings in the first two games, and I took that personally."

NFL draft is Thursday night though so works out alright if you’re into that kinda thing like I am.

 

[Leonardlizard]

So nervous I've had like 6 morning constitutionals

 

[bobbythebrain]

Did i hear that McDrai is on the same line?
