Early breakfast game, yay! I wouldn't mind the Oilers putting on a playoff performance against the Kings..
The thing I worry about is Kane scored 7 goals in that playoff series and was huge in 3 of our W's in the series. Connor took over Game 7 but before that it was Kane and really he's what got us to a game 7. Hope you're keeping well Kane, miss you.

I don't want a repeat of that series. I want the Oilers exploiting the Kings mistakes and also limiting their own.

I will be watching Draisatl and how he plays around Mike Anderson. I figure Leon will want to burn him every chance he gets and score score score on him and I also wouldn’t be surprised to see a cup check when the ref isn’t around. Leon takes numbers and he took Andersons for sure last year. He owes him.

If I was the Kings I wouldn't have Mikey Anderson on the ice but the Oilers should want him to be on the ice.

I'm of the revenge is best served cold type. Save it for playoffs. Good chance a series is happening again.

Good call though. Could be a night for Drai.

Depends on what type of revenge they intend to extract if it's lighting him up, I'm okay waiting until playoffs if it more savage in nature, deal with it in regular season with less on the line.

I'm gonna need the boys to score 7 for no particular reason.

So many games last week and then only 2 this week with another matinee on Saturday.

Let's at least win both these games this week. Need to catch up the the Kings in pts.

Real interested to see how this team plays tonight.

I think it will go either really well or really poorly without much in between. We'll either win 5-1 going away or lose 6-5 in one of our stupid games where we constantly shoot ourselves in the foot.

This is a good news bad news year so far for the oilers.

The good news is there are a LOT of players who have been slightly to very disappointing to down right terrible from goal to defense to forward and the team is still 9-7. I can't believe all of these guys wont get better sooner or later.

The bad news is by now there is no way this team should be thinking about anything other than winning the division and being a top 3-5 team in the league.

He was in the starters net the last 3 days at practice, it would be strange to go away from that now, especially with his play to start this season.
Stauffer also said that Petersen is starting for LAK.

Speaking of idiots called Mikey, check out this Flames fan's Twitter profile. Draisaitl literally lives in this guy's head rent-free. :laugh:

You sure this guy doesn’t post regularly on here? 😂

Our bottom 6 still looks AHL tier after all these years. Don't get me started on the D.
