You know whats hilarious here? People were jacked sky high for the first game back, and exhibition, against the Flames, a completely meaningless game that had no bearing on anything and people were all like I can't sleep, I can't stand waiting, I want it now.

Here we are and its playoffs tomorrow and its crickets here..y'all drunk or something?

Ahhhh playoffs are back, where every game day you get to feel stressed from morning until night.

Woooooo!

It's an exciting time isn't it.

I thought the same.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

I have no idea what to expect tomorrow. It's going to be crazy.

Plus, no Remenda.

 

[LMFAO]

Where are you Riley Sheahan :'(

But it's not playoffs tomorrow.

You're less fun at parties than I am..

For the Oilers its playoffs. The hawks are here as Bettman troll things. Because you know, in s bubble pandemic start up in August it made all kinds of sense (like none) to have 24 teams in instead of 16. Now we have to hope SC final hits before 2nd wave...

So does anyone know if I can watch the game after it's happened through an official streaming service? The girl I wanna take out is on nights and probably won't be awake enough to watch live.

That sucks about Sheahan. What bad luck to spend all that time off then getting hurt before the first game.

Also, side bets on how many calls the refs ignore on Connor tomorrow?

I thought Sheahan had recovered?

Yes, I'm being pedantic, but I sincerely hope the team isn't thinking they've made the playoffs yet. The stats may count as post-season, but until you get to four rounds, four wins each it's just not the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Hey @Cloned still no Supergirl.

Just sayin’

Oilers 5. Hawks 2. McDavid with 3 points. Leon with 3. Honey Badger with 2. RNH with his first playoff goal. 1 plucked and naked Hawk scurrying back to Sutton Place.

Beers in the fridge. Belgian hi test. Let’s go boys.

Oh please (better?).. It’s the playoffs. They should absolutely be thinking they’ve made the playoffs... because the game is going be played at playoff speed... you can bet your ass on that.

Oh f*** off. It’s the playoffs.

If we lose to the Blackhawks, the Oilers will have missed the playoffs again. Period. That's how the league is defining things. You're welcome to disagree, but a "oh f*** off" is a touch strong, no?

I meant like oh f*** off like when your arguing with your buddy and he says that the new Star Wars movies are good. No malicious intent.

Anyways they would have made the playoffs without Covid and saying they missed them again if they lose is BS.
