GDT: GAME 2 - OILERS @ FLAMES, WCSF | 8:30 p.m. MT | TV: CBC/Sportsnet | Radio: Sportsnet 960

[Straight Fire]

8:30 PM lmao. So like closer to 9, which means a nice 11PM start time for our Eastern friends.

Anyways, this would be a great time to end the game 2 curse. 2-0 going into Edmonton would be oh so sweet.

I am going to be in Edmonton watching this one, so pray I don't get stabbed. GFG!

Friday night late start out east just gives a rubber stamp of approval for drinking into the wee hours of the morning. It's all good.

And after all the gambling commercials, it's more like 9:30.

After people pawn in their tvs to gamble on the games ratings might start to drop.

I'm kind of tired of emotionally hedging and betting against us to "assure" the victory. Lol.
Oilers +155 doesn't seem bad as game 2s have old Honda Center vibes, but I don't wanna. Just win. Go Flames go.

I just bet on the Oilers series win. It's cheaper and the ultimate hedge

Yeah true. But my way means we can still win the series and I win $$ lol

 

[Anglesmith]

The smart money is on Edmonton tonight. A streak only ends once.

 

[Mitts]

We just got to play our game, Marky will be back in form, we need him to be, and we need to stay out of box and we got this.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Yeah true. But my way means we can still win the series and I win $$ lol

I'm hoping not to win lol

 

[flames23]

I'm hoping not to win lol

Of course. That's the idea of an emotional hedge. If your team loses you have some extra money to drown your sorrows with lol.
I'm just saying I can be mad we lost today , win money and eventually still win the series. All that said I'll just keep fading the flames because they have us as pretty decent favourites in almost every game, too much so imo, but I have a tendency to expect very little, but hope for the best.

Feels like It's gonna be a 9pm puck drop. Also, hope they rest Tanev up well, we need him for the rest of the ride, hate to see him come back too soon and be injured again, oh just heard Tanev is out.

Feels like I might be a couple drinks in.

Friday night playoff hockey - is there anything better?

I didn’t realize that my gambling strategg had an actual name.

Neat.

 

[Anglesmith]

I'm just curious how you're all betting when every ad pretends that gambling is only allowed in Ontario.

I just know some guy. He calls himself "Jim".

I suck at gambling so I've never had to actually collect on a win, just keep giving "Jim" money now and then.

ok Flames lets break Kelly Hrudey's heart and put Mcdavid on his butt and win this

There are three concepts in this statement.

I am on board with all of them.

 

[Straight Fire]

PokerStars gave me $2 for Sports. I've probably let 50 of those expire. All on the Flames.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

No more defense. We score 9 every game.

 

[Straight Fire]

I don't know if I'm huge on our intro music.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Let's dominant these guys again

 

[Straight Fire]

Starting with line 2 would we?

 

[probeyca]

got a feeling Kassin is going to be head hunting tonight

I'm not made of money so the manageable bet on the series is the best way to go imo
