Pre-Game Talk: Round 2: Battle of Alberta | Game 1 Wednesday 5/18/22 7:30PM

[Ringoffire]

Haha, gotcha. Pretty sure most of these ‘visitors’ are young guys that sign up and make a bet with their buddy on how long they’ll last before given the boot. It ends the same way for all of them.

I'm not trying to be inflammatory or trill. I read this BOA thread and responded to the topics raised. Surely that can't get me booted.

They all still wake up in moms basement

I just want to know what the Flames do that's so dirty, as it's a common refrain from Oilers fans.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Hold on, why do we have Flame fans posting here? Isn't that almost explicitly against the rules?

Is that seriously a rule? If so I will split.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

You would probably get a kick out of some of it. Just seems odd that I can't get an answer to a simple question regarding something this board considers an obvious fact. Isn't the point of these boards to talk hockey?

I'm not a mod. Don't take my word as gospel. I'll defer to what they say.

23 of 27 pick the Flames..do the Oilers even bother showing up?

Absolutely they'll show up and they'll use these media predictions as bulletin board material to shut everyone up across the country.

Historically, back in 1988, the Flames finished first in the league and the Oilers second at 6 points behind. Edmonton swept them. Three years later in '91, they finished 20 points ahead of the Oilers and the Oilers took them out in 7.

I'm not worried. let the media in the country pump their tires.

They do all of the time. Last time they got this much hype they went out in 5 to the WC Avs in the first

I don't think it is a rule but I believe the expectation is you are not just here trolling and are actually engaging in a constructive discussion.

 

[ujju2]

I'm not sure whether or not this was created by someone from this forum but this is pretty outstanding.

IDK if it's a HFOil member or not but this is the same guy who made the absolutely fantastic intro in 2017. And the video you shared is only half the 2022 edition - there's a full version on his YouTube channel:

Idk I just remember there being a discussion about the whole "x fan coming in peace" phenomena. Again I could be misremembering, I'll defer to one of our mods.

 

[PaPaDee]

What's shocking about that?

Why don’t you rather head over to the main board discussion on this series.

Gretzky also thinks we will lose :/

You are being low-key inflammatory, so go back to your boards.

Will Do.

 

[Oilhawks]

Gretzky also thinks we will lose :/

Wonder how his brackets of years past looked. Outside of being the GOAT player, he's gotten a lot of things wrong in hockey outside of actually playing the game.

 

[Zerotonine]

Any word of Drai? If he has any injury I wouldn't mind him sitting out Game 1 to recover if it would help long term. Hate for him to re-injure and be in worst shape

 

[Shibumi]

Oilers take game one. Book it!

Also not sure if anyone has noticed. I had A and W for games 6 and 7 and we won both….

Ugh. My arteries hurt but I’m prepared to do it again Wednesday. I’m kind of tired of it though

But I’ll try

I will skip the dishes for four nights of A&W for you. I am quite willing to suffer the consequences of your arteries clogging up if it means the Oilers win.

He's the best guy I've seen at getting predictions wrong

I think Holloway is in tomorrow night

He got every first round prediction right this year

 

[Oilhawks]

He got every first round prediction right this year

Yeah, I was wondering about previous years.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Oilers win game 1, Flames get shook and we execute the sweep

Lil Johnny weeps all the way back to Calgary
