[Drivesaitl]

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

Can't even open the Ticketmaster tickets for game 3. Either thats in indication none are available, even resale, or Ticketmaster is not working. I can open any other games, but not game 3. Other games are costing around 500 starting. Concourse pass which gives you the glory of watching the game on a screen go for 100 bucks, limited supply.

 

[McDrai]

I don't know about you but I would sub in Holloway for Foegele.

 

[MoontoScott]

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

I'm interested as to whether that bull fighter survived? Looks like he took the full force head on? We could use that bull on the 4th line tonight.

Do it. You'll make friends in exactly 1 oilers goal

 

[Mr Positive]

I don't know about you but I would sub in Holloway for Foegele.

I disagree. Perhaps Foegele hasn't been bringing it but the playoffs are why we got him, and his tools are just what we need to beat someone like Tampa or Colorado. It feels like you need to keep Foegele around and at some point he'll start clicking and have a monster game

I love the idea of subbing in Holloway though. If we did sub him for Foegele I'd hope that Foegele draws in the next game. Maybe rotate those low minute forwards like Foegele, Kassian and Archibald

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Game 3, hope they boys are ready right from the start and keep battling. Probably can't watch this one, so I'll look forward to catch the highlights for breakfast.
Let's go!

 

[brentashton]

Connor McDavid gets a hatty tonight. Camera pans to Brian McDavid and he absolutely tosses his favourite hat out onto the ice, with a proud dad, beaming smile. That’s how you do it.

 

[Mr Positive]

Connor McDavid scores 4 times and then Brady Tkachuk puts on an Oilers jersey

 

[OilerTyler]

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

I mean, 2/6 power plays were because of a high stick that drew blood which is an automatic call. And of course after we scored on that PP and tied the game it was an Edmonton parade to the penalty box for the rest of the game. The Flames were given multiple PP opportunities to take the lead in the third period and blew it by letting in a shorthanded goal.

 

[McAsuno]

Gonna be traveling down to enemy territory tonight and watch the game in Banff. Let's get a dub, boys.

He's literally done nothing to still have people blindly believing this.

This statement perfectly encapsulates Ryan Nugent Hopkins entire career

 

[walktheboulavard]

I don't know about you but I would sub in Holloway for Foegele.

Not a big Foegele fan but I think he should be subbed in for Archy. Woodcroft played Archibald like 4 minutes and finished with a dash 1. Either way, the kid should be given a chance. Probably skates faster and more skilled than anyone in the bottom 6. In addition he plays a heavy game which is tailor made for playoff hockey.

Play the kid at home where you can dictate matchups better, as another poster mentioned before. Cycle McDavid with him for a few shifts, got to find out what you have in the kid. Could be a x factor in bottom 6 role, you never know.

 

[TheNumber4]

This statement perfectly encapsulates Ryan Nugent Hopkins entire career

The defensive stick TWICE on a critical PK. The first of which sent the Flames down the ice. The second of which sent Hyman down the ice on a breakaway for GAME WINNING goal is nothing?

How bout the goal that should have counted but didn’t. Nuge was a big part of that goal.

 

[OilynutEsquire]

Please come out of the gate with some intensity, no more slow starts. I would love to see Holloway play tonight, Archibald, Ryan, Kassian or Foegele can sit.

GO OIL GO!


Nuge with the hatty to shut up all the toxic arm chair gms.

 

[elmeroil]

Do any of you Nuge haters watch some of the really important stuff he does out there besides scoring 15 goals a game? You get rid of him who is replacing him? Same guys want Nurse and Bouchard gone, let's just run the entire team out of town while we are at it. Tied 1-1 in the 2nd round, let's blow the whole f***ing team up and start over

 

[Louis Cypher]

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.

Kane can fight Ratboy. Just let Lucic skate around and be late to the play every shift.

That is far past their level of expertise. They only stat watch.

Hope to see the return of the Bison King tonight

I‘m a big Nuge fan but he always leaves me wanting more. Nurse can get bent though.

 

[TheNumber4]

He's literally done nothing to still have people blindly believing this.

I’m gonna disagree here too. Foegele laid a big hit. Had two decent rushes into shots. Showed his size and speed a bit in Game 2. Also had a 1 on 1 rush that lead directly to drawing a penalty. Still needs to show more but the potential is still there for him to come up huge for us.

 

[tardigrade81]

Get a win you bastids!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let’s go oil!!!!

Connor leaves when his contract is up if you trade Nurse. Fact

Time to show Calgary some real BOA playoff atmosphere
