Pre-Game Talk: Edmonton in LA Tues. April 4th

[TheRebuild]

I could be wrong, but I don't see LA putting up much, if any fight. What for? It's not like they can make the playoffs OR eliminate the Oilers from the playoffs. At best, a win would worsen their draft lottery odds? They had their chance to "play tough", time for them to just quietly disappear into the night.

 

[Dorian2]

Remember all those years where LA owned us? Time to own 'em back! Kick em when they're down.

 

[Tom Collins]

Can't take games like this lightly, could get chippy as LA doesn't have much to play for right now.

[The Batman]

McDavid with at least 2 points and Talbot with his 41st win please.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

McLellan should play Gryba for this game so he can get the GWG against them again.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

McDaddy, Drai and Patty continue their solid play; 1G 1A for all three of them tonight.

I'm expecting somewhat of an emotional let down and a rough 1st period coming off of their most emotionally draining win of the year but I think they'll keep pace with the Quackers.

 

[Wadewilson]

Lets Go Oilers!!

 

[Wadewilson]

Just picked up this beauty for my office wall. Hope it brings some luck

 

[NedPlimpton]

predictions:

1. Quick will cry about something

2. We will win.

Really though I'm not sure how the Kings will come out playing. Could be a tough one. At least in theory.

 

[backhandsauce]

I'm sure they will start LB on Saturday in Vancouver.

It's his hometown and it's a HNIC game. He will have family in attendance.

 

[jeg]

Am i the only one who kind of wants us to lose? I know how ridiculous this must sound after a decade of losing and finally winning but i like the spot were in
I would prefer to see a match up against the Sharks vs Calgary/Nashville
Am i the only one?? I mean ill take 1st in the Pacific but just looking ahead

6. Refs will be the best player for the Kings.

 

[McTrashBoat]

6. Refs will be the best player for the Kings.

I'll bet that Jarome "Trade me to a contender" Iginla will be the best player for the Kings

 

[McPuritania]

Haha, how'd that trade work out for ya, bruh? Says a lot when he's their most engaged player.

Edm still at times plays down to their opponents. I want to say edm jumps on them early but who knows. Would t surprise me if they just stand around and it becomes a snoozer. They need a win though to keep pace with the ducks though so I hope so. That and a win for talbot means they have all the motivation in the world not to

 

[CornKicker]

mcdavid with 6 pts for us to CELLY

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I actually think the top-line has a pretty big night tonight.

 

[Dashh]

I think the oilers have a chance to beat any potential match up in the first round minus the preds. Hope that doesn't happen

Oilers have the ability to beat, or lose to, any team in the league.

I'm not afraid of who they face.

The only issue will be their 'preparedness' and focus so it shouldn't matter the team.

Bring on the playoffs and whomever...

McLellan should play Gryba for this game so he can get the GWG against them again.

It would be like Matt "Freaking" Greene would score against us in the final five minutes to tie or win games between us and LA. He'd never score otherwise.

 

[Old Boys Club]

This going to be a 2-1 or 3-2 game.

 

[t0nedeff]

I hope Mcdavid gets 4 points so he can pop the 100th sooner.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This going to be a 2-1 or 3-2 game.

Quick is going to play his socks off again.
