Let's hope practice and prep is better with Knobs than it was with Woody

Pretty low bar to clear. In Woody's three Game 1s following a series win Edmonton went 0-3 allowing 23 goals (GAA of 7.66) while scoring 16 (5.33 goals for).

Just win baby

Every one of those games an absolute circus.

Each of them identical in almost every way. Oilers score at will, but barf up the dumbest goals imaginable the other way. Come back from multi goal deficits, then throw it away again with additional dumbest goals imaginable.

Too f***ing long. I had to leave work with a terrible migraine and body aches. Hopefully the oilers are feeling better than me

8pm is a long, long time away.

This day is going to draaaaaag.

I’ll be listening to 1440, Oilers YouTube videos, flipping through HF for the next 10 hours (and working of course)!

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

Why screw with LaBamba, just the version that Ben says to play. I get a break from Gene and suppose I'll be exposed to this now.

I could be wrong but I feel like Ben would have boogied down to this still. Sure it’s cheesy but it’s fun!

 

[Mez]

Im pre-clenched already.

 

[elmeroil]

For me it's an easy decision, you start Holloway on line 1. He scored 2 nice goals in round 1 and had a hattrick on the first line playing lots of minutes in Bakersfield. He's ready to have the chance. He's not 18, he's 22 and hungry.

Thankfully my day is full of meetings randomly which will help the day burn off. Somewhat quiet at the moment, so hard to focus at my desk.

If you’re a regular migraine sufferer, talk to your doc about a treatment plan to get you on a drug like Ajovy (covered by most health benefits after you’ve exhausted other treatments). It’s a gauntlet to get on, but once you’ve tried other things and they don’t work, you should be able to get approved. The drug is a pricey so the insurance companies don’t want to pay ofc

I just started Ajovy after years of headaches and migraines. First week in years I haven’t had a migraine.

 

[sepHF]

Go Oilers! I fully expect this to go the way of the 2022 Calgary series though

I don't know if my heart can handle another game 1 like that

 

[Gordy Elbows]

I unironically love that, I think it's awesome

Good to see a broad range of fan interest and participation!

 

[K1984]

I don't know if my heart can handle another game 1 like that

Or my blood pressure.

There was a series of 4-5 shifts early in the second of that game where the Flames were completely rag dolling us and we were straight legging it around the ice. Looked like teams from two different leagues. Don't know if I've ever been that pissed off at an Oiler team during a game in my life, thank god they woke up shortly after that.

I think that this team is over this type of stupidity (knock on wood). We kind of had one of those "we feel comfortable" games in Game 2 against the Kings, but corrected course after that. In past years we would have found a way to f*** up at least one, if not two of Games 3, 4 or 5, but we played mature hockey and found ways to win all.

calm down austin matthews

Sometimes I feel like him. I am a regular season superstar but in the crunch times people are always like "ZJuice where is my shit" then I get stressed and sick and I'm suddenly worse than regular season. Help me

My hockey life was opposite because I loved hockey and wanted to win. My job it's like "ahhh I have 100000* hours left until retirement"
*if I only work 40 hour weeks

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I know the Oilers have way more pressure on them to win this series but I think the Canucks have pressure to win Game 1...Oilers know they can come back in Game 2, can the Nucks?
we need to put the seeds of doubt in place with a Game 1 win

We have a chance to roll downhill on them for sure. Need to win this game.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

I hope that Knob is preaching patience. Team has had a week off and I’m sure they are chomping at the bit, lots of excitement and lots of nerves.

I want to see them come out skating and working hard but not getting drawn into trading chances early. Play responsibly, keep it simple, make smart plays and get some pucks on Silov early.

 

[mcdingdong]

Just win! Hockey is better without the whiny Canucks and whiny Canucks fanbase. Still can't believe Tocchet tried to insinuate the Oilers are divers despite coaching Hoglander/Petterson/Hughes/most other Vancouver players.

 

[9GWG9]

Just keep the puck on our sticks and its over. Would give them more but their fans are almost as bad as the CP crew. Let them burn it to the ground this time!

Play LaBamba Baby!

Should get some for my wife. She has a headache most every night for 35 years.

8pm is a long, long time away.

This day is going to draaaaaag.

Oh yes. I'm working a 10 hour shift today and I'll be off at 3:30 pm. Not much to do when I come home aside from tidying the house so... Yeah. It's definitely going to drag.

 

[KlefDown]

LFGGGGG

 

[Louis Cypher]

Funny when I was saying this at the TDL people were ripping on me (buchnevich, Toffoli, any legit top6 scorer). Foegele had just scored like 20% of his season points against the Ducks and sharks and people here thought he was the new McDavid.

But hey, it’s playoffs, it’s no time for tearing down the Foegeles of the world. Let’s go Warren kill some Nucks

Nobody was trading their pending UFA for Foegle who is a pending UFA. We were kind of stuck with him. Let's hope he does something in these playoffs.
