McDavid is already on the board.

Over/Under on MacDonald starfishes set at 3.

I will be watching Home Alone with my wife instead.

#FireHakstol

Oddly enough, I will be watching "Under My Wife 3" alone.

#FireHakstok

 

[Tripod]

Oddly enough, I will be watching "Under My Wife 3" alone.

#FireHakstok

Oddly enough, I will be watching under my wife later tonight.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Oddly enough, I will be watching under my wife later tonight.

That sounds about right lol

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Ill be at the game drinking away my sorrows. Keep an eye out for a Flyers fan being stretchered out

 

[bennysflyers16]

Oiler down 3-1 tonight. Blink your eyes and up 4-3 lol

 

[Oskar Man]

Lucic will score against us

 

[prototypical4thliner]

Ill be at the game drinking away my sorrows. Keep an eye out for a Flyers fan being stretchered out

If the paramedics aren’t called in, you didn’t do it right.

 

[klutch]

Oiler down 3-1 tonight. Blink your eyes and up 4-3 lol

They should try to be down 5-1 against us to really see what damage they can do.

#stokshell

 

[DaphneLion]

Here's what I think will happen: shutout 4-0 loss. 2 Flyers goals wil be disallowed: one for goalie interference, the other for being offside.

 

[Domino666]

Can’t wait for the inevitable Farmer/Hagg pair to get abused like Jodie Foster in the Accused

 

[MorgantiDrinksBlood]

Here’s what I think will happen, wait I’m not watching. Lolol

 

[Starat327]

Can’t wait for the inevitable Farmer/Hagg pair to get abused like Jodie Foster in the Accused

I cackle anytime someone uses this reference. It's amazing.

Is it sad that I'm hoping my hotel in Tampa doesn't get this game?

 

[Guy Gadowsky]

This is only game 30??

ugh

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

WE GET SOME GREAT EARLY CHANCES BUT FAIL....OILERS GET A COUPLE GOALS...WE GET ON A ROLL AND GET AHEAD 4-2

HAKSHELL IS ENGAGED....WEISE MCDONALD AND HAGG GET MASS ICETIME TO DEFEND OUR LEAD...DUMB****ERY ABOUNDS...

THE THREE MORONS FAIL MISERABLY AS PER USUAL AND EACH ONE OF THE DOLTS ****UP SPECTACULARLY AND LEAD DIRECTLY TO 3 BRUTALLY HORRENDOUS GOALS...WE LOSE 5-4.

THE END.

 

[dats81]

Expecting a good effort but they will go out of this empty handed due to Hakstol, referees and odd bounces.

 

[OzFlyers]

This is only game 30??

ugh

Two more games.

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

You know it's a great season when the pre-game thread vs. the Edmonton McDavid's is still only on the 1st page at 7:30 EST. Hopefully by the time the game rolls around I'll be in a Canadian Club and Sprite induced sleep.

 

[Chinatown88]

Should I stay up and watch it?

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Who's going to start? It'll be Koskinen for the Oilers.

Hoping the Oilers win 10-0. Points for McDavid, traction in the standings for us, and a new goalie and head coach for you.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Our PK is at 72%

That’s a bad EASHL PK. I’m not even exaggerating.


Our PK is bad, even by video game standards.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Who's going to start? It'll be Koskinen for the Oilers.

Hoping the Oilers win 10-0. Points for McDavid, traction in the standings for us, and a new goalie and head coach for you.

You’re a kind soul, bud.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Should I stay up and watch it?

Probably not

 

[Flyers Faithful]

Who's going to start? It'll be Koskinen for the Oilers.

Hoping the Oilers win 10-0. Points for McDavid, traction in the standings for us, and a new goalie and head coach for you.

Stolarz most likely
