Game starts at 8:30 MT so puck drop will be 8:55 MT and the oilers will start playing for real some time after 9:30 MT.

but i still think we find a way to win.

Either we win the game or everyones too tired to care if we lose. Win-win.

A core injury that requires offseason surgery AND you're still playing him in significant minutes right now???? Seriously???

McDavid is gonna have to go Supernova again and we need solid goaltending to stand ANY chance in this series.

If Nurse needs surgery just give it to him now to prevent any further issues. Nurse is a f***ing liability out there, we would be better if this version of Nurse is out.

It’s such a late start I’m going to miss the game. It’s a Friday night, got better things to do than wait till 9:30 for the Oilers to start playing

Woodcroft needs to put emphasis on winning the first shift and playing the players that will actually do it. Just need Hyman - McDavid - Yamo - Kulak - Ceci. No need to reinvent the wheel, and for the love of god no Keith, Bouchard, Nurse or RNH. Just put the players out that aren't stupidity prone and actually have a tendency to remember to compete.

The first shift is more important for this team than any I have ever seen. We win the shift, we have something to build on and feel good. We get buried and it snowballs for us very quickly.

 

[Oilslick941611]

We will know with in the first couple minutes of puck drop the out come of this game...

We will have a better idea after the game

 

[Cournoyer12]

Come out blazin boys, dress 7D, double shift McDavid, Smitty will redeem himself tonight! Markstrom doesn’t really scare me.

 

[McJadeddog]

I expect nothing from tonight, with Nurse and Drai both very obviously injured, we just don't have the horses to compete right now. Still looking forward to the game. Too many years without playoffs to stop appreciating them once you have them.

It'll be a good one to watch the highlights of after the game. Or tune in halfway thru when the boys make it to the rink.

Saw the Oilers called up Sceviour. Roster's looking a tad bit thin seeing Draisaitl and Nurse's roles diminished.

Hoping we can get some other guys going.

 

[Game suspension]

Ok. Who wants to bet a toonie that Smith gets pulled again tonight ?

 

[BlackDogg]

We’re gonna hit em where it hurts tonight!!!

48 piece chubby chicken meal for pregame!

 

[elmeroil]

[North Cole]

I'm not wearing my cursed sweater today, seems to have the opposite effect of Keith's dumb white hat. GOilers

Man….. I know this is gonna let folks down here, but I don’t think I’m doing A and W tonight

We are going to Winnipeg tomorrow till next Thursday (won’t be with you folks for games 3 and 4 ) so I don’t want to change my stomach getting sick on a 6 hour drive lmao. Shitting on the side of the highway is not something I look forward to

Will Smith..... hehe

Hopefully we don't get slapped again tonight.

 

[FlameChampion]

Not sure why the games at 8:30. I realized it got pushed back to due to Carolinas late start. I doubt that many EST people are going to watch a game starting at 8:30 anyway. NHL makes so many weird decisions.

Will Smith will slap the shit out of their goaltender!

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

[CornKicker]

I hope you’re right

Expecting nothing so I can only be pleasantly surprised

 

[NedPlimpton]

If I was Prime Minister of the world it would be illegal to start a hockey game so late.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Gameday tunes...

 

[SaltNPeca]

They definitely broke both our goalies, moreso Kosko. Smith has shown he can shake off a bad performance.
However we also broke their goalie just as bad. I'm interested to see if/how he recovers.

I truly hope Lucic does something stupid penalty-wise and gifts us a goal or 2.

 

[McDrai]

Expecting nothing so I can only be pleasantly surprised

Exactly I'm expecting another 9 goals against. Anything less than that is gravy
