Hopefully the team takes on the personality of the coach…Tocchet always showed up.

Pettersson took on the bald.

JT Miller and Brock have stubbornly hung onto their impeccable hair.

Make no mistake -The Oilers team wants to embarrass us badly for the 4-0 regular season. It's all they've been asked about all week from the media.

No idea how this game goes. They could cook us, we could watch tight hockey or it could end up a crazy brawl.

What about option D where we cook them? Dare to dream!

Jt will try his best to piss McDavid off

That shouldn’t be hard. He just needs to hit him once and he will start bitching to the refs

Got to take advantage of that Oilers blue line. Don't care what anyone is saying about some of those guys playing "lower event hockey". That group of defenders is a shit show.

 

[Jack Burton]

Done.

Done.

Don’t turn pucks over
Don’t take penalties

Anyone else finding time is going much slower today?

Opposite for me. Today feels like it flew by.

Missed the guests name this morning on Halford and Brough during my commute but wholly Oiler homer glasses.

Talked about Soucy and Myers getting the McDavid assignment due to ice time and deployment against O'Reilly's line and how he didn't like that for the Canucks. Completely glossing over Hughes Hronek which was kinda funny.

Skeptical we have anything to match up against Draisaitl. Uhh Zadorov and the rest of our big D?

Then went a little player for player and mentioned Miller being a inferior player to Draisaitl then mentioned Bouchard being almost on par with Hughes offensively without mentioning the gap between everything else. Why would there be a gap between Draisaitl and Miller if that's your metric? The playoff experience was also a little misleading especially when the Oilers history is largely of failure and Perry is almost 40

Anyway just thought it was funny how little respect our team is getting. Would be so good to win game 1 and get these clowns second guessing themselves

Where is that cross dressing Leaf fan from earlier?

He'd be down

 

[Tact]

JT Miller is going to be beast this series. The guy is a tank and a big time competitor.

This will be fun

To me the X factor here is Skinner. If he plays like that 1-0 game they won we could be in serious trouble. On the other hand, he probably cost them the only win LA got, so with our improved scoring that’s a weakness we might exploit. I’d be trying to get him moving side to side on the PP for sure.

 

[MS]

The Oilers are a team where basically their entire strategy against quality teams is to try and saw off at ES and then dive/whine/cry/work the refs for a PP advantage and exploit that with their deadly PP. And it worked like a charm against LA.

Simply have to avoid taking penalties. And honestly, we don't really want PPs of our own either because every call in our favour will lead to the inevitable soft even-up call when someone pushes McBaby a little bit.

What improved scoring? We have less goals in this playoffs and Pettersson is playing like a 13th forward

 

[VanillaCoke]

What're the odds of a nucks soft penalty in the first three mins of the game...?



Pls no sutherland this series (playoffs).

I think one of the first body checks we throw results in a penalty. Probably Joshua. I’m mostly serious.

I'm so glad this is catching on.
