Pre-Game Talk: Drop a deuce: Part quatre

[Beerfish]

My wife just asked me if I need anything from the liquor store. I think she’s anticipating a rough night for me.

One of everything

 

[KlefDown]

I know, terrible. Because as we all know, words win playoff games.

neither do actions for the oilers. we still haven't won a real playoff game since 2017

The icing on the cake would be losing like 7-0. Spirit broken. I expect it tonight.

 

[Metamind]

Im gonna be cheering for Winnipeg tonight, I’m so mad at the Oilers and just want this season to be over and be put out of my misery

 

[Oilhawks]

Dude is a professional troll, no need to repost his shit here

A mind like frozen glass

 

[KCC]

lol. I mean what is he going to say? Of course he's going to say the cliché stuff to the media in this situation. They know and we all know it's over.

unfortunately, he's not wrong

things like this should anger the fanbase because what are we actually doing to help him win?

 

[Oilslick941611]

I want to see a big a game that shows balls, I don't care if they lose as long they go down fighting. I suspect a blow out though for Winnipeg. This team is shattered and Im excited for the offseason and to see what Holland can do with some money and freed up contract spaces. That said Go Oilers

My game prediction: 39 year old Mike Smith playing a back to back costs us this one. 3-0 loss. 0-4 series sweep

It took Ovechkin 12 seasons to win a cup I'm tired of this if you're a generational player if you don't win before you're 25 somehow you should be demanding out narrative these hacks constantly come up with.

Yeah I'm worried about Smith tonight. And Bear, he sounded destroyed in the presser.

He’s made the playoffs the first two years under Holland. If there’s no sign of improvement next year then sure, by all means fire up the trade McDavid for a kings ransom threads but if he can’t handle adversity of failure in the playoffs then maybe he should go now. Let’s say they handled the Jets in 6 and then got swept by the Leafs next round. Is that really that much better?

Maybe

Smith earned the right to be the guy though. if we lose because of him, thats fine, we are in the playoffs because of him.

...Yes?

They might as well not even be in the playoffs all this year the way things are going.

Maybe if McDavid didnt go 0 points in his first 2 games and blow coverage in the comeback last night we wouldn't be having this conversation?
