First

You want a medal?

 

[Cloned]

I hope the Oilers permanently break Markstrom like Belarus broke Tommy Salo.

 

[Leonardlizard]

Let the spirit of Cosmo fill the gaps.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Beauty GDT @MoreDifferentS - very polished again.



It was great seeing the Oilers fight back in Game 2 and finish it off

A split in Calgary made the Boys feel pretty good before coming Home

Here’s hoping they can serve Calgary some more good old

A strong start would be a welcome change tonight

Maybe that would put pressure on the Flames & get them making mistakes that will hurt them

Losing their composure & falling down in spectacular fashion

Keep the Forecheck going to create turnovers

To facilitate more sniping

And continue the collective Defensive work, shutting the Flames down

While Smitty continues his solid play

Do all that, and I see

Calgary coming up

While the Boys

 

[enthropi]

Heck yeah! Finally a real crowd! Get scored on the first or second shot, whatever, I don't even care anymore, just WRECK the Flames! LET'S GO OILERS!!!

 

[bellagiobob]

Series has been off the charts entertaining so far. Love the never say die attitude. I foresee a 5-3 win for the good guys, with RNH leading the way with two genos.

 

[BertMcDrai]

I have a feeling that this series will be as the Kings series...that said we will win today.

Let's go Oil.
Show the Flames how playoff atmosphere in Edmonton is.

 

[walktheboulavard]

I cant believe I am saying this but we have the goalie advantage in this series. Might be different if the Oilers were shooting on Smith but that's not reality. Markstrom is the poor soul that will be getting lit up. And Kane hasn't even had a big game yet. Poor guy.

 

[Broberg Speed]

So Holloway is in the lineup?

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Catching this one at Rogers. Hoping to come back with no voice and a fat W let's goooo boys f*** Calgary

 

[Jumptheshark]

I am amused about flames media complaining about how many powerplays we got. 1 more than them but if you read their articles you'd think it was ten more

Curious to see if Lucic and Kane will drop the mitts before the end of the series

If Lucic can get Kane off the ice for 5 minutes, that’s a win for Calgary. Lucic and the rest of his coke machine teammates can pound sand.

 

[orangewinter]

I am ready for game 3, Lets hope the Oiler's start the game good tonight and get some early shots on Markstrom.

 

[illegalsmile]

And Kane hasn't even had a big game yet. Poor guy.

Kane, you can just feel, is going to get there, though... I'm waiting for his first "Gordie Howe," personally.

Looking forward to tonight's game, I'll actually be watching it at a (fairly) decent time. 1 A.M. GMT. This game is going to be f***ing lit! A home crowd and a team that has finally woken up to the fact, they're in the f***ing Playoffs. There should be a lot of swollen pride among the boys today. This series, although stressful for the fans, is as entertaining as all hell. (C'mon though lads, if I can stay awake until 5 a.m. to watch the weeknight games and still get up at Midday, surely you can get up for an early puck drop today!!)

As, literally, anything can happen in a BOA, I'm going with a 10-2 victory to us, as a fantasy pick. (I want that one extra goal on the Flames. I admit it, those 9's really stick in the craw.) A far more reality driven pick would be, a 4-2 victory for the oil.

Play La Bamba!!

 

[Mr Sakich]

this could be a blow out if the Flames get spooked by the crowd. I was at a playoff game in 2006 and the building was electric. I don't think any of the Flames have ever experienced that

We lose that offset if that happens, Kane is way better than ML. Not saying I don’t want someone to punch Lucic’s chiclets out, but not Kane. Where art thou Zack Kassian?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Almost tempted to buy a ticket and just go solo to this game

 

[MoontoScott]

Tonight we will find out just how mentally tough Markstrom is.

The same applies to Johnny because you know the crowd will be all over him after the way the Flames fans went after Mc-D two nights ago.

But I am taking nothing for granted. Sutter will have made some adjustments after the last game and you could tell in the post game interview that he was going to let his players know just what he thought of how they played so far. He has a subtle way of scaring the sh*t out of guys.

Oilers 7 Flames 4.

Hey they played in Dallas im sure its a very similar play off atmosphere

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

If we start strong we should win. Looking forward to the follow-up of Leaf fans saying we would lose if it were Tampa!

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

The home crowd will be fired up this evening.

 

[dssource]

Play like we did the majority of game 2 and we'll win. Lots of shots on Markstrom and keep them hemmed in their zone.

Naturally the only early game in this series and I've got plans and can't watch live.

Game 1 we scored 6. Game 2 we scored 7. Trend says we score 8 today. 8-2 Oilers.

I'd 8-2 be the flames.
