Love the new optimism!

 

[CycloneSweep]

7-2-1 let’s go

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Love the new optimism!

(I kid, I'm quite optimistic about the team now with these two new acquisitions and that's without Kane in the lineup.)

Tonight’s game was the tough one to lose. Next six are gonna be tough. Hopefully can go .500+

 

[Oilhawks]

Relax folks, they have a chance in each game as long as Campbell isn’t starting

 

[Spawn]

As much as being 8 points up looks nearly insurmountable. The Preds have 4 games in hand. The Oilers need to stop playing .500 hockey if they want to make the playoffs. That might not cut it down the stretch. Need to start stringing together wins. Tough upcoming schedule be damned.

Of the last 5 I'd say
Bos-win
Tor-win
Ott-loss
Dal-loss
Sea-win

 

[GOilers88]

If they can beat Boston and Toronto in the next two I don't even care about the rest.

Beat Boston and I would call the regular season a success.

Toughest stretch of the schedule and we are a game above .500. Not too bad. We need to win the last 3 games in order to have a shot at the top 3 in the Pacific.

 

[Stoneman89]

Have to be extremely please as I didn't think we'd win more than a couple at best looking at the competition. 4-3 is tidy work, Now to beat on some garbage teams!

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Toilet seat up confirmed. 7-3.

Can't make a new thread for a while (don't ask because I am not allowed to explain....so says the rules...) so just adding onto the current Toilet Seat Pole for the last 12 games, put your answers below!

I edited the thread for voting so you can change your vote from the last Pole and added 21-24 points as a selection but it appears at the bottom of the selections.

First 10 - Toilet seat up - 7-3-0 - 14 pts
Second 10 - Toilet seat down - 3-7-0 - 6 pts
Third 10 - Toilet seat up - 7-3-0 - 14 pts
Fourth 10 - Toilet seat down - 4-4-2 - 10 pts
Fifth 10 - Toilet seat up - 7-1-2 - 16 pts
Sixth 10 - Toilet seat down - 4-2-4 - 12 pts
Seventh 10 - Toilet seat up - 7-3-0 - 14 pts
Final 12 ??????????

6 on the road, 6 at home, 2 back to backs, 1 afternoon game, 24 Possible Points - Toilet seat up or down?

I am going to go with 19 out of 24 points. Oilers end the season on a heater and take 1st place in a tiebreaker with our RW beating out LA's RW and we play Calgary in Round 1 who make the last wild card beating out Winnipeg.

8-3-1

Finish 2nd/3rd in the division and face Vegas in Round 1. Kings take 1st and face Calgary …

Calgary and Edmonton both win. Flames fans lament taking out the Oilers biggest kryptonite for us.

Over in the Central, Dallas beats Minnesota in Round 1 and Colorado gets upset by a Kraken team on a shooting heater. Eberle scores the series winning goal in Game 6.

The road to the SCF for the Oilers becomes clear…
