Oof. These guys may not make it out of the first round.

Just watched highlites, Seatlle is actually out playing them as well. Can u imagine dropping a few bucks on Kraken in a pool?
This will mix up a few hockey pools if Kraken win

I was thinking the Edmonton Earth would be a good name.

Turtle Island jersey FTW.

It can somehow span both oil sands and conservation politics. Its an awful awful name but so is Edmonton Elks....and it carries forward the EE.

Dont shame me.

Still no game time for Saturday? I guess if the Leafs win tonight they push up our game time otherwise we are the late game.

Likely, but with Devils/Rangers at 6PM, if Vegas/WPG continues they could screw us with the 2pm game.

For all of his bluster about hitting McDavid, Doughty is the one that has been getting clobbered and is starting to look beat up and tired out there.

Doughty tried the bigyap routine a couple times against the Flames and I remember it costing the Kings a couple seasons because instead of it being any advantage it took Doughty off his game and the Flames were getting the results. One season the Flames made the playoffs over the Kings and the interlocking games pretty much decided it. Doughty is long past Mark Messier type statements and isn't delivering on them at age 33. To my eye it only stirs the opposition to make statement like Doughty did. It didn't bother the Oilers specifically.

Doughty is using tactics that were helpful when he could more dictate results.

I'm pulling for the 2pm start. Too much shit on the go Saturday night lol

A 2PM start will also give me a solid afternoon to get over the anxiety of the game and MAYBE even sleep that night.

On one hand my favorite time of year, on another the most frustrating trying to tap dance around other commitments that are almost always less important than a playoff game.

There needs to be a bulletin sent out to charitable organizations setting up fundraisers and couples planning their weddings that reads "DON'T SCHEDULE YOUR EVENT FROM MID-APRIL TO THE END OF MAY WHILE THE OILERS ARE IN A COMPETITIVE WINDOW. YOU RISK LITERALLY NOBODY WANTING TO ATTEND YOUR EVENT."

My problem is I knew too many people who's parents decided to bang in late July many years ago.

4 birthdays today. 2 tomorrow. 2 Sunday. 4 on Tuesday

Ullmark gave the game away for Boston tonight. His play is exactly why I wish Skinner would stop handling the puck so much. He gives it away so much and I feel like that could end up happening eventually. The rebound control is another thing I'm iffy on. lol

Yes indeed.
A goalies task is not to have offensive instincts, its to prevent goals.
It sure is flashy with those 1 in 100 games assists that Smith does, but as Skinner its to risky. Just steer it out to the corners.
