GDT: Game 82: Oilers @ Avs - 7:30 PM - SN1

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

NOT EVEN CLOSE! lol

Whaaaat? I bet my underwear we’d win.

 

[oobga]

No current kings goalie will do what Korpisalo did to keep the Kings in the series like he did last year. Their 2 wins were all Korpse and we finally broke him down

If we lose to the Kings, no one to blame but the Oilers not showing.

 

[foshizzle]

They're due to beat the Oilers which is why the matchup makes me nervous. Toss up series in the past 2 years that went the Oilers way, can it be 3 in a row? Ehhh

No such thing as being “due”. Each series is mutually exclusive. How many times were the jets due in the 80s vs the Oilers. The flames? Or how many times Dallas beat us

And that dirty f*** Mikey Anderson.

Who calls himself Mikey!? That's asking for spanking by Louie.

 

[Porkleaker]

Nice season, good job Oil, well excluding tonight.

Usually pre-pubescent boys

We're goin' Streakkkkingggggggggggg!!!

 

[Cloned]

Maybe not? Ducks score two in 30 seconds to go up 3-1.

Just admit you spoke too soon!

I’m known for my jinxes.

I don't remember last year's games well. Did the Oilers dominate the first few games but fell 1:2?

Those teams were clearly inferior in the 80s and the Oilers were clearly inferior to Dallas but sort of fluked out a series win.

I'm not picking the Kings to win the series but I just don't like the matchup even though the Oilers won the last 2 years. Going beyond the "due" argument the Kings just have a way of grinding the Oilers down and giving them fits. I feel like Vegas would have been a more wide open series that would cater to the Oilers strengths more.

 

[Broberg Speed]

I think the Leafs will beat them this season.

it's time for all canadians to get together and start cheering for each other's teams in the playoffs, it would make everyone feel real special

I would say it's the opposite. The Oilers ground down the Kings the past two playoffs and broke out at the end of each series.

I thought the Kings got better as the series wore on. I thought the Oilers were the better team the first 3 games despite the 2-1 series deficit and the Kings the better team the last 3.

IMO, yeah the Oilers were better in the first 3 games and ended up 1-2. Especially the first game, Korspe did backflips and got Kings that first win to cast a little doubt.

IiRC, the Kings tied it in the final minutes and then scored in overtime in game 1. And in game 3 they got some breaks with power plays.

Vegas. That has to hurt a bit. Instead of Oilers and Canucks to conference finals you probably get Dallas and Avs.

 

[Oilers in NS]

But Foegele came to play tonight. He has good wheels that create chances. Hopefully some more next week.

I think he is gonna come up big in playoffs actually

Korpisalo was ridiculously good
