Drai hat trick please.

 

[brentashton]

We’re like the Fonz tonite. Cool, popular with the hot chicks, can turn a jukebox on with one hand thump and. Oh ya, this…

AAAAYYYY! Need to keep winning.

 

[brentashton]

@Ginger Papa papa is Koskinen in Covid protocol as per the line up report above? Went from minor illness to covid?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Drai hat trick please.

Hattrick, save on score and win 5 goal night please.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Also Skinner was sent back down.

 

[tardigrade81]

Massive game ! Can jump into second with a win tonight. Let’s do this.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

I'm pessimistic and feel like we're due a stinker soon.

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Sharks taking it on the chin tonight. 7-3 Oilers.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Also Skinner was sent back down.

Well Mike Smith had a game in which he didn't shit his pants so we're all good.

 

[elmeroil]

Dallas and the Kings lost, flames finally did something useful. Need this win, would be huge!

 

[elmeroil]

Well Mike Smith had a game in which he didn't shit his pants so we're all good.

Is there proof? Definitely had a few possible pant shitting moments as always

 

[midnightcopper]

Second place on the line tonight...

Love the setup for the Oil this week. Game every other day (including Sunday) where each team gets progressively more difficult (like video game bosses), ending with the best team in the league on the national stage on Saturday. I really hope Woody has the boys ready. This will be a huge measuring stick for them. They should be able to sweep the Cali state and go into Denver riding high. And while it's all on the road, it's minimal travel, so no excuse there.
Hoping for Drai to keep up with Matthews, but not at the expense of team success. Wins are everything.
Give Skinner the start tonight if Kostco isn't ready to go. Smith against LA and then pray that Kostco is ready to go on Saturday.
GO OIL!!!

Standards are pretty low around here.

[CornKicker]

4.30am game, might catch the 2nd & 3rd in the morning. McDrai going on a tear at the right time is what we need..

Didn't know Chuck Norris worked as a shark dentist, neat.

 

[TheNumber4]

Sharks suck. Should be an auto-win. Let’s keep this rolling.

 

[McJadeddog]

I'm pessimistic and feel like we're due a stinker soon.

I was thinking that after the LA game. It was 2 games in a row where we gave up leads but still managed to squeak out wins. The old adage of "wining games you should maybe lose" was in the back of my head, and usually that means you have a bad game upcoming. But then we stomped the Ducks, so I don't know. Vegas just keeps winning (5 in a row now), so the team can't afford to take their foot off the pedal at all here.

Literally why I felt a stinker is coming as well. If I had to pick though I'd rather lose this and then beat LA.

Obviously I'd rather win both of course

Let's go Oilers
