my good RNH's chuckle after Hyman's quip about his disallowed goals

Well that's certainly different.

I guess it beats the typical hiphop rap songs

 

[BlackDogg]

Lol

Those look tasty

Talk about not reading the room though. Ha ha ha. Timmies, you're stupid.

They should have done a Flames one, in green, as a reference to the golf course they are playing on.

"This will upset"

Basically a way of attempting to absolve yourself of a stupid post by saying those who call out your stupidity are actually mad and not just laughing at you.

This guy needs an explanation of what playoff hockey is. We follow the same seeding formula as everyone else. It doesn't take anything away from our run if we go through two teams we have owned in recent years in the first two rounds (LA, and should we make it and Vancouver not, Nashville). That's part of the magic of the playoffs.

Not to mention that we didn't "avoid" Vegas in round 1. They lost. That's not on us, that's on them. They are the reason the seedings ended up the way they did.

I’m still trying to figure out how Vegas losing the last two games to avoid the Oilers has any bearing on what the Oilers did?

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Well that's certainly different.

 

[OilerTyler]

I forgot how nice it is going into game 2 up 1-0 in the series

 

[gordonhught]

LOL. I can't say I blame him.

I'm thinking of boycotting Boston Pizza for their ridiculous "let's cheer together" campaign. Hell no I won't cheer for Vancouver or Toronto. A couple years ago, I agreed to no longer cheer against them as long as Edmonton was still in the playoffs, but I won't cheer for them.

That said, boycotting Boston Pizza is pretty easy as I likely wouldn't have ended up there anyways unless my kids forced me.

The pizza crust on a BP pizza is fantastic. Too expensive.

Well that's certainly different.

Hopefully the Playoff Hype Song Curse is only if the songs are hip hop.

Prebuilt excuses are the best.

Prebuilt excuses are the best.

Looks like Taj is upset they lost game 2

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Prebuilt excuses are the best.

I love that he's sure that the Frauds will just beat Nashville lol.

 

[T-Funk]

Feels neat knowing that opposing fans think we are so good we'll just waltz straight on to the cup. I'll take the compliment.

 

[tiger_80]

Remember when leafs fans said the same thing about the winning streak because we beat them when they were "reeling".

They are always reeling in the playoffs.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

The old girl just made me a donair flatbread for supper and obviously that’s good luck.

They didnt avoid anyone, Vegas tanked that Anaheim game to avoid us.

It's almost like they've been away from the playoffs so long that they've forgotten that generally speaking every team that makes the playoffs is a damn good hockey team and Nashville just happens to have been top 5 in the NHL since the All-Star Break. Beating Nashville may actually be a tougher task than beating Vancouver even with Demko.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Well that's certainly different.

Ugh, I'm sorry...but this is up there (or down there) with that Flames Playoff Rap video as far as cringe and jinx-inducing.

Now I need to listen to Zombie Nation for 5 hours to clean my ears out.

But was it shot out of a donair cannon?

normally id agree but draisaitl alone is 25g 17a for 42pts in 26 career games vs nashville.

might be able to rest 97 and 18 for the next series lol

 

[Bryanbryoil]

This is a huge game. If we are truly serious about winning it all we need to take it to the Kings and dispatch them in 4 or 5 games. That's how you try and get the guys well rested and healed up for the rest of the playoffs. As an older team with injuries to some of our key players rest is huge for this group. We need a huge 1st period from Stu tonight and the boys need to get up early on LA again so that they are forced to open it up again.

To that, I'd counter that runs like this don't last an entire career vs. one team, so I'd be worried that it might swing the other way and he could only get 2 or 3 goals in an entire series against them.

 

[dssource]

Feeling good about tonight. Boys will bring it again, no doubt. It'll be a tighter game, but Oilers will win game 2.

For game 1, my resting heart rate is around 60BPM. The highest it went that game was 65. That's how confident I was in that win.

 

[bone]

That is so terrible.

But I can also maybe fall in love with it...

The best team hype song I found actually is for the Vancouver Canucks, it's so good I'm wondering if it cancels a bit of the bad juju from the hip hop video.
