"Alberta is a place where I spent a lot of years of my life, so it's always special to me and it's always a game that I look forward to and get to see some friends in town. It's always fun to come back here." -- Coyotes forward Taylor Hall on returning to Edmonton

"It is tight and it's going to be tight for the rest of the year. It's fun when it's tight and every point matters, especially here with the divisional games. It's going to be real crucial for us to be ready and try to get some points out of them." -- Oilers defenseman Oscar Klefbom on the race in the Pacific


"We don't have Connor McGregor on the ticket, but we have this other guy...." OP

Tickets for this game have pretty much doubled in price since Hall became a Yote. Couple months ago you could get tickets to this game for 45bucks.

lol in Arizona you can get a MONTH of Yotes hockey for 59bucks. ALL games.

Would be an interesting game to attend but not at pricing here.

Why is Hall getting so much flak.

Can we remember that this is a player that wanted to be here and was traded against his will?

Hope fans treat him accordingly tomorrow in the first time here on his new club.

Nerves are going hard for this one. These are the games that will start creating some separation. It's not just winning 2 key points. It's taking them directly from a team who needs them just as bad that we can't let succeed.

Man I hate playing the Yotes, for some reason we just never come out on top. Hopefully having Tippett will change our luck.

I predict a loss but hope I am wrong. I don't think the Oilers of this season is up to winning crucial games yet without more additional good personnel.

Can't win crucial games? I may have said that 2-3 weeks ago, but then they walked into Boston, Toronto, and Montreal and won on a road trip that could have killed the season. The last game they beat Nashville who had defeated the Oilers 7 straight times in Edmonton.

They're a tough team to play....especially when the game is tied or they are up by a goal.
The Oilers really need to take the game to Arizona and get an early lead....preferably by 2 goals.

The first goal is so crucial. I hope the Oilers can score 1 or 2 on them and slow it down for all I care. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

Coyotes have been struggling lately since the addition of Hall. He's picking up points but they have lost 5 of their last 6 games. A win tomorrow and the Oilers will pull even in the standings and still have 2 games in hand on Arizona.

I have a 200 word essay due tomorrow and a hockey game to watch in 13 hours and I'm on here reading HF Oil.

200 words, that’s some weak tea.

Try a lab report, a project worth 25% of your grade and capstone on top.

That was me last year. #englyfe

However, good luck on the essay, I’m sure you’ll kill it.
