Pre-Game Talk: Going for four in Chicago

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Lets hope there isn't a Battle of Alberta playoff series this year then... I wouldn't expect either of us to survive.

I'm already dreading the prospect.

I'm already dreading the prospect.

Dreading? That would be the best playoff series in decades. Would get higher viewer counts than most Stanley Cup finals. Everyone would tune into that bloodbath.

 

[bellagiobob]

I want to win the division but I want Calgary more in the 1st round.

I’m on the fence if I want to see a BOA first round or if I prefer the Flames just miss the playoffs entirely. Both would be great, just not sure how I’d rank them.

 

[McShogun99]

Call me a coward, but in no way do I want to play Calgary. I'm legitimately scared that they'll up the ante with cheapshots and go out to injure.

Series like those is what turns players into Stanley Cup champions.

Series like those is what turns players into Stanley Cup champions.

We saw what happened when Edmonton and Calgary play playoff hockey earlier in the season. It resulted in the Oilers running the flames out of the building. All of their top players minus Tkachuk disappear come playoff time anyway. I would much rather play Calgary in the first round than Vancouver or Vegas

 

[bellagiobob]

Given the choice between a pic of a pretty gal and a dudes ass, I prefer the gal.

 

[Captain Controversy]

I expect drai and mcdaddy to kill it tomorrow and Saturday.
Wouldn't shock me if they get 6 points over the next two games.

 

[Mikey71]

Win in Chicago please. It would take a ton of pressure off of that tough trip coming up a bit later.

 

[dem]

I hate getting into back and forth shootouts with Patrick Kane..

 

[Coffey]

I'm just happy we are finally getting some separation from the rest of the division.

Keep going, boys!!

 

[Oil Dood]

I want to win the division but I want Calgary more in the 1st round.

Me too. That is, to me anyways the easiest path in the West to the 2nd round.

 

[OldManBouchard]

Can't wait for a klefbom return. We are going to be even more dynamite with him in the line up.

 

[Oil Dood]

I think Chicago is going to have issues shutting down two lines.

 

[KlefDown]

Chicago are a terrible team

lets go Oilers

 

[No ReGretzkys]

Will Yamamoto find himself on the first unit powerplay?? I feel like he's a better option than Neal or Chiasson

 

[guymez]

I think Chicago is going to have issues shutting down two lines.

Thats how I see this game as well.
Unless the team comes out flat emotionally I think that this game (Chicagos style) will work to the Oilers advantage.

Yes, doesn't mean it's good for the heart.

 

[FlyingPhi]

Go Oilers. And with respect to @Mowzie (good thread man)...yes we can have a little class and respect for others with some eye candy.

Word. And let's get some content for different preferences.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Just landed in Chicago, prepping for the big game tomorrow. Never been to United Center and looking forward to seeing/hearing the Madhouse on Madison in person and then seeing the Oilers sweep the road trip!

I’m with @bellagiobob btw.
Pretty gal > Dudes ass.
However Cows > Pretty gal and @FlyingPhi also better than Terry Crews pec flex.

 

[McTrashBoat]

hey no scantily clad pics or nudity!

I'll post bouncing if I want

 

[FlyingPhi]

Yes, doesn't mean it's good for the heart.

Yea, I'd rather win the Pacific and play the Jets/Canucks/Yotes if any of them finish in the WC1 spot.

I don't really want to play the Wild. Unfortunately I think they will finish in WC1, so finishing second in the Pacific may be the easiest road to the WC semis.

We are 4-8 in our last 12 against the Wild. Talent be damned, they got our number. We are 5-7-1 against the Flames, 6-6 against the Nucks, 6-4-2 against the Jets, and 5-3-4 against the Yotes.

Yea, I know the past isn't a predictor for the future, but I like our chances against any potential team other than the Wild.

Either way, it's nice to legitimately make the assumption of being in the playoffs and scoreboard watching for seeding, rather than qualifying.

Not sure what this is, but it just supposed to flash to trigger seizures?

 

[Konami McDavid]

Wrong place for this I know, but I just noticed that the only two teams currently in a playoff spot with a negative goal differential are playing each other tonight. Go CBJ!!!

Let's also appreciate that the team, currently in a playoff spot, with the worst goal differential called the Oilers pretenders ... just saying.

Would the dude's ass be us clinching 1st and getting Minnesota as the wild card.
