Game 7, Saturday night in a hockey mad community, heaven on earth. Bold prediction here, Oilers in 7 . 5-3, empty net goal.

 

[Rengorlex]

I want us to f***ing blow them out. Win 9-0 with zero moments of real tension. Score twice in the opening shift, 6-0 after 1st.

Would be interesting to know what was the biggest blowout in a Game 7?

Oilers came out to play yesterday which was a nice change of pace compared to the previous two turds they laid.

McDavid is showing why he’s the best in the game. I hope Draisaitl gets better soon. It’ll be nice to have Nurse back in.

Might have to sell my game 7 tickets x

 

[tardigrade81]

I voted for the oilers. Because I like the oilers. And I hope they win

Go Oilers

Back to back game 7's on a Hockey Night in Canada Saturday is probably making some TV execs drool.

This is one of the most important games in franchise history. And I say that having been around since day 1.

 

[Mr Positive]

You got to think the Oilers keep their momentum. A rested Nurse should help as well.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to my knowledge...the Oilers have not won a Game 7 since May of 1998 against the Avs.

Mike Smith was 16 years old.

Evander Kane and Tyson Barrie were in elementary school.

Ceci, Nurse, and Kulak were in PreK/K.

Drai was just over 2.

Connor was just over a year old.

Pulju, Yams, and Bouch weren't even alive yet. Pulju was born three days after the win.

You got to think the Oilers keep their momentum. A rested Nurse should help as well.

Didn't we think that after Game 3?

 

[Kerberos]

PPs will be 10-0 in favor of LA so gonna have to get it done against 5v9 or 4v9 out there once again.

[OiledUp]

Sfincter already fully clenched.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Oilers are going to Blow LA out of the water.
I see a 5 - 1 victory. Drais minutes will be relaxed.
Nurse will come in hot and lay out some punishment.
Mcdavid records another 3 points.
Nuge scores the first goal.
Oilers look to the second round. Drai needs to rest a bit. Holloway call up for some practice time?

 

[soothsayer]

I said it in the last GDT and I'll say it here: if the refs think they can get away with that crap tomorrow in Edmonton, Rogers place will riot.

NHL Records

Detroit vs. Colorado in 2002 was 7-0. Toronto had a 6-0 in 93. Chicago had an 8-2 in 90. There' s quite a few 5-0 or 6-1s in there as well.

Edmonton won 4-0 in Colorado in 98.

 

[McShogun99]

Every team has to get thru some adversity on their way to winning a Cup. This is the Oilers moment to show that they can be a threat these playoffs.

With even a matinee Game 7 featuring an Original 6 team.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

4-2 Oilers win with goals from drai, pulju, mcd and kozari

 

[oobga]

Can we please grab Kings around the neck from behind and yank them backwards down to the ground like Andersen did on Drai last game? Just every scrum sneak up on a guy and just bend them over backwards in a headlock. Seems that is legal and not frowned upon.

While true, they've only had two game 7s in that time frame, both of which were road games and ended in 1 goal losses (one had an empty netter).

Overall in franchise history they are 6-4 in Game 7s. 3-1 at home, but the last home one was first round vs. Winnipeg en route to their last Stanley Cup (they had to win Game 6 in Winnipeg as well).

In their only Game 7 loss at home, they actually scored the winning goal, just in the wrong net. All three of their Game 7 wins at home ultimatley led to winning the Stanley Cup (1984 vs. Calgary in the second round, 1987 vs. Philadelphia in the Cup Finals, and 1990 vs. Winnipeg in the first round)

Oilers are going to Blow LA out of the water.
I see a 5 - 1 victory. Drais minutes will be relaxed.
Nurse will come in hot and lay out some punishment.
Mcdavid records another 3 points.
Nuge scores the first goal.

Bakersfield is facing elimination tonight, and need to win 3 straight against the first place Stockton team. Unless they pull off an amazing comeback, there will be 5 or 6 guys joining the team very soon if Edmonton wins.

Wings 7-0 over the Avs in 2002 is the first one that comes to mind.

I'm actually confident that they'll win this game. They showed me a playoff resilience in Game 6 that I hadn't seen from this group, in particular when L.A. tied it at 2 in the 3rd and it didn't phase them one bit, not to mention overcoming some bad calls, the Drai injury, Nurse suspension etc. The deck was hugely stacked against them and they pulled it out.

Of course, they can easily reward my confidence in them by throwing it in the shitter with a Game 7 loss but I actually have a good feeling for the first time in this series.

That day is just a figment of your imagination. That day does not exist.

That day is just a figment of your imagination. That day does not exist.

That was my first year as a season ticket holder - what a run and what a soul-crushing ending. It was like the collective life got sucked out of the entire city the day they lost game 7.
