Oil Kings in 7. Anyone saying 4 should be blocked and have their opinion dismissed.

Who won the only meeting of the season?

Right. 4 for any side is ridiculous. This series will be a war.

 

[OttawaOilers]

I know Portland can win the Series. I'm not taking that away from them. I'm just very Confident in the Oil Kings. Win or lose it will be a long not short series.

This thread is full of Edmonton homers, myself included. Portland is a wicked team and has a great chance to win the series. However, I agree that anyone saying this series will be over in 4 is being unrealistic and are underestimating how evenly matched these teams are. Granted, Reinhart being out for Edmonton is a blow, but I would be shocked if this series is over in less than 6 games.

Go Kings! Hopefully it's a good game on Friday.

Well said. I of course argee.

I'm going to game 3 and 4 in Edmonton so that should be awesome. I went to all the Oil Kings game last year in the Finals VS. Portland. It was awesome forsure, that Pysyk OT GW really stuck with me to this day. That game was awesome, but of course the Championship Win on Home Ice was the unreal moment!

 

[OttawaOilers]

Also the Bantam Draft has come and gone, Congrats to Tyler Benson on being drafted by the Giants. He's going to be great!

The Rebels drafted 9 players including there 1st Round Pick, 14th overall. They drafted Jeff de Wit from Red Deer with there 1st Round Pick!

Not even sure if I know a fellow Portlander who thinks Hawks in 4.

The desire to psychoanalyze the Edmonton fans who think it'll go 7 and Edmonton wins it in Portland is overwhelming. Well, almost.

They have won in Portland this year and did last year as well in the finals. If you dont think they can do it again then you are out to lunch.

This will be a long series.

Edmonton is not some WC dreck that lays down for the Hawks.

Any news on Cheek?

 

[OttawaOilers]

Game 1 goes tonight. Don't think I overshadowed this for that amazing thing by the name of Stanley Cup Playoffs. OK, maybe I did forget they played today but now I remembered, lol. Go Oil Kings!

 

[Brewster]

Any news on Cheek?

Still day to day.

 

[OttawaOilers]

WRUCK! And oh ya, LB! LB! LB!

 

[OttawaOilers]

HENRIK SAMUELSSON!! SAMMY!!

2-0 Oil Kings!!

 

[PBandJ]

OK's are being outplayed pretty soundly but have taken advantage of their chances. Helps that LB is showing last years form again.

 

[OttawaOilers]

Taylor Leire makes it close for Portland but then Samuelsson replies right back with his 2nd of the game. 3-1 Oil Kings!

 

[S E P H]

Even though I am not a big Brossoit fan, everyone knows he's better than the other player on the opponent side of the ice performing his best Simple Jack impressions.

 

[OttawaOilers]

CURTIS LAZAR with a sexy goal. Knocking it out of the air. Stephane Legault also gets his 3rd helper of the night! Oil Kings up 4-1 late in the 3rd.

And Carruth even played in the AHL a little bit this year. That sais how Good Brossy will be. Bright future forsure.

 

[OttawaOilers]

The Oil Kings take Game 1, 4-1 in the Best of 7 WHL Finals. Great job boys!

 

[PBandJ]

Portland in 4.

I don't think so, Tim.

 

[jnk96]

Greatest matchup that could've happened, IMO. The Oil Kings will make it in the end but it'll go down to game 7 (at least this is what I think and hope).

 

[Brewster]

That was an amazing first period by Portland. Outplayed the Kings in every facet of the game. A great turnaround by Edmonton in the back 9 of the game really took the wind out of the Hawk's sails.

How beautiful was the disallowed Leipsic goal?
