*In the last four games of the season, Edmonton's second line of RNH, Lucic and Eberle combined for 10 goals.
*Connor McDavid has four goals and four assists in five games against the Sharks.
*He had a two-point night in four of the five meetings.
*San Jose won the first two games of the season series, 3-2 at home in OT and 5-3 in Edmonton before the Oilers answered back with 4-1, 3-2 and 4-2 wins.
*Edmonton's power play is three-for-18 in the four games. The Sharks are one-for-16.
*Edmonton is 32-14-4 since Dececember 17th.
*The Sharks closed out the season with four wins in their last 13 games.
*Both Logan Couture (face) and Joe Thornton (knee) who missed the stretch drive with injuries have been practising hard and are expected to be in the lineup for Game 1, but head coach Peter DeBoer says it will be a game-day decision.

Defensive pairings are still unknown as are the Sharks' lineup for now.

Who here likes PLAYOFFS?!

Defensive pairings are still unknown as are the Sharks' lineup for now but it sounds like Thornton might not play in this game.

Who here likes PLAYOFFS?!

What are those?

 

[McDynasty]

No Thornton for game one would be a nice gift for Oil fans.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

Might want to check the stat under "Shots For". The numbers do seem feasible, considering the number of players on each team and if we include scratched players, coaches, etc...

 

[TheBusDriver]

[duul]

Wait second...game 1? Of what?

 

[Gord]

Forgive me if i missed it somewhere, but how is maroon? He's playing?

 

[duul]

We ended up with the 2nd best gf/ga in the conference too, behind Minnesota, ahead of Chicago. What an accomplishment.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

This game is all I've been thinking about for days now. For those going to the game be extra loud and support our boys. Wish I could be there but unfortunately I'll be watching from Montreal and staying up till 1:00am.... and even later if need be

LETSSS GOOOO OILERSSSSSS!!!!!

 

[shoop]

Forgive me if i missed it somewhere, but how is maroon? He's playing?

Yes. He's playing. Maroon and Caggiula may switch lines as the game proceeds. They did so in the last game against Vancouver and it worked out pretty well. Really depends if the Sharks try and get too physical with McDavid.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

[McHilman]

I can't wait for my first ever playoff game, **** am I stoked!!! I think it was Rishaug and Dreger that said Gryba was in for Benning, good call imo.

So the 50/50 starts at $76,000 as a prize wasn't claimed, I bet it hits $250,000 tonight.

 

[oil4life97]

Been waiting a while for this one! Crowd will send shivers down my spine tonight. Let's go oilers!!!

 

[McHilman]

OMFG, the light on the top of Rogers is ORANGE!!!!

 

[slaman]

For all you youngings who can't remember 2006 or the 80s, welcome to playoff hockey.

Lose your ****ing mind! If you're at home watching, jump up on your couch and yell. If at a bar, sport your gear proudly, jump up on the seats and yell. If at the game, represent us all!

 

[McGhostbuster]

It's been a long time coming, but am I ever pumped for this game.
