Don't do that! They can play in that shiathole forever!

Biggest game of the year?

 

[oilynutz]

Does Khaira get the healthy scratch?

Lagesson in for Jones?

How does Nygard respond after his best game of the season?

Expecting a hungry group after they got shit kicked by the flames last round.

5-2 Oil. (Nygardx2, Klefbom, Yamamoto, Sheahan) (Lucic, Reider)

 

[Crude]

First time seeing the Oilers at the Dome in the regular season.

Just win, baby!

 

[snag]

I haven't been able to watch a second of the past 3 games. I know what I have to do.

it's the weekend....go on a bender and pass out BEFORE the game

That will remind you to truly appreciate the barn we have.

Saddledome is a shithole

 

[snag]

I demand satisfaction!

Though only the the first line/bridge is applicable....

Has anyone ever come up with a good name for the saddle dome? Something relating to how it's meant to look like something you are resting your nether regions on?

Shit hole.

Sackodome?

 

[BigFuzzyDice]

Sackodome?

straddledome... like a Chinese crapper. just a hole in the ground.

 

[Satire]

Good News: I got free tickets/drink/food for the game tomorrow.

Bad News: Oilers suck when I watch them live.

Worst News: I have attended all Flame home games that Lucic has scored in.

Lets break the cycle!

If we lose, I just want you to know I'm holding you personally responsible. :p

Team is healthy and on a roll, no reason we can’t win this game. Little nervous about Smith, if he plays could go either way. He’s either gonna be lights out against his old team or he won’t be able to stop a beach ball. Let’s go Oilers!!

I actually feel confident with Smith playing tomorrow over Costco.

Would be sweet to see Neal pot his 20th and Smith get the win (preferably in a shutout and an empty net goal). But on the flip, it could be terrifying seeing Talbot with a Shutout with Lucic and Reider lighting it up.

Let's hope for the first scenario, or just win baby.

 

[BlackDogg]

Main reason I am nervous about Smith is if we go to OT or a shootout we are basically toast.

Speaking of which, they should make Reilly toast.

 

[Quality Oil]

Actually get to watch this game, so hyped. Oil have to get big time payback for last game. Reach out and take first place!

but I want to be able to go to an Oil game in Calgary in a building that doesn’t smell like a barn.

Basically at the same point in time in 2017, the Oilers matched up with Calgary in Edmonton on the second Saturday of January on HNIC. Calgary was 23-22 and Edmonton was also 23-22 (but with 5 additional OTL to put them higher in the standings).

Edmoton won 2-1 in OT setting Calgary into a tailspin before AllStar Break while Edmonton kept rolling including a 7-3 throttling of Calgary at the Saddlesore the following Saturday. By the All Star Break, Edmonton was 11 points up on Calgary.

Would love to see that scenario play out again complete with wins in the upcoming games against Calgary at the end of the month and early February.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Blowout loss incoming.

 

[iCanada]

This is likely the start of the most important juncture of the season. If we can get three Ws out of Calgary and two Was out of Ari, I think it's impossible to miss the playoffs.

We lose all those games? Impossible to make the playoffs.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Blowout loss incoming.

If they can beat Kozari they can beat anyone.

That will remind you to truly appreciate the barn we have.

Saddledome is a ****hole

Pfffft it's not even a dome, its a maxipad

 

[brentashton]

Pfffft it's not even a dome, its a maxipad

That depends

 

[yukoner88]

That depends

That, to be fair, does cover a shit hole
