Would have saved a lot of time if the artist didn't go for the go-to cope of the Nucks fans and went by franchise Cup wins

 

[OilynutEsquire]

Time for RNH to step up, he's been a ghost the last 2 playoffs.

You need to stop watching the games with your eyes closed

(another reminder for myself after it worked in round 1)

That might be a challenge.

Look who the NHL decided to assign to our game, which is likely to be heated and includes pre-seaon commentary by the Nucks coach trying to frame the diving nonsense:

Number one shutdown forward on PK which shut out the Kings PPG player in the playoffs last 5 seasons ghost alright lol

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Does anybody know if Henrique has even made the trip to Vancouver? Have a feeling that Holloway may step up and grab that spot... Holloway's coming out party these playoffs.

IF Holloway could steal a top 6 spot that would be massive, as that would let you shift Henrique to centre and be 4 lines deep.

Holloway-McDavid-Hyman
RNH-Drai-Kane
McLovin-McLeod-Perry
Janmark-Henrique-Ryan/Brown

2 lines centred by Hart winners, one beating you with speed and the other with size, plus two lines that will hound you up and down the ice for the entire game. Seems like a recipe for success.

Hopefully I’m right and the league conspiracy is in favour of the Oilers this year

Unfortunately, Tocchet-out-of-his-ass' whinejob may make this a lot less common this series. Hope not

29 and 97 and 18 to Tocchet..

As long as we match their physicality, we'll be fine. Really need the guys on the bottom 6 to respond and play hard against the Nucks. My only worry is we don't hammer their stars as much as NSH did, and they maybe get a bit more time and space. We mitigate this, it's ours to win.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Man, this wait has gone on longer then the walk to Mordor took.

Geesh, Oilers should have just rode the eagles in to the next series....

Yes, I'm a nerd.

Anyway, LFG Oil!!!

 

[alphahelix]

Nobody was trading their pending UFA for Foegle who is a pending UFA. We were kind of stuck with him. Let's hope he does something in these playoffs.

there were teams like Philly that wanted to simultaneously sell and compete.

 

[VainGretzky]

Arthur Silovs will be known as Arthur Sievelots when the Oilers are done with him

 

[winnipegger]

I live in van. Please, for the love of God, don't just win, I want everyone at the office with red puffy eyes from crying all night.

Once I saw the penalties that were being called against LA my thinking went that direction also. Doubt we get favorable calls if we play Colorado, Florida or NYR

 

[dssource]

Had an insanely busy day, but accomplished a lot, so it was a great day (and makes the time to puck drop go by faster).

Going to finish off the great day with an Oilers victory. Yes, the Oilers will win tonight.

Shame Rico is not well enough to play tonight, but rather him heal fully before getting back in. Janmark in his place makes a lot of sense. You need someone defensively responsible on that line so that McHyman can do their thing and not get burned.

Boys need to lean HARD on Hughes at every opportunity. Get him out of it, and the nucks will fold. And lots of pucks on Silovs. Overwhelm him.

bing bong your religion is wrong

especially the Draisaitl goal. I don't think I've ever see one of those go our way. I've seen plenty go the other way (high stick two years ago, Kesler clearly grabbing Talbot's pad, etc.)

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Connor “Axl” McRose

Hughes looks like Jack the Ripper.

 

[Stoneman89]

Not sure if it was pointed out already, but all three of Kenny's trade deadline additions will not be playing tonight.

Neither are Vegas’s .

Seriously though, f*** Vegas.

 

[Stoneman89]

Arthur Silovs will be known as Auther Sievelots when the Oilers are done with him

Hope so too. He'd be a nice trophy piece on the mantle for us, along with "No save, Dave."

All that matters is if skinner can be good. No game 2 like last series or like all of the playoffs last season, please.

Yes, Kenny planned for Henrique to be injured.

 

[Morpheus]

I remember the last playoff game versus the Canucks, I was in grade 7.

The Oilers were up 3-2 in the series, coach Pat Quinn had this white piece of paper in his hand with his game plan to beat the oilers.

Quinn and his assistants kept referring to the paper plan from the onset of the game and throughout.

The Oilers prevailed and Quinn tore up that paper game plan into about 14 pieces and thew it up in the air once the game ended.
It rained down like thick snowflakes and I remember laughing my ass off
