Just have to beat the best team in the league today. No problem

Will be able to watch some of it. Going to see The Monkey today at 130. Movie looks good. Ditching my kids to my parents lol.

Gotta be honest, not expecting much again today. Caps are a good team, good players, well coached. Oilers were a tire fire yesterday and haven’t been good for a while. Can’t fix the horrible D game they have right now on the short flight from Philadelphia.

 

[McDrai]

Might skip this one which means we will win

Hopefully Skinner starts again. Just need to get him going.

Sure. In Bakersfield.

I have the Oilers in this one today.

McDavid will be raring to go today.

Good luck gang!

Don't look now but the Kings are fast on the Oilers heels.

The Oilers better right this ship quickly, they've played probably 1 good game in the last 8 and that was the loss against Toronto in which they only played well in the 2nd and 3rd period. The positive of this shit stretch is that I'd assume it opens up Bowman's eyes to not just largely stand pat at the deadline.

 

[FlameChampion]

Honestly at this point, Oilers are probably better staying in 2nd place. They aren’t going to catch Winnipeg. Playing the kings is better than Colorado or Minnesota.

But it aint gonna matter much unless they start playing better or if they don’t fix their goaltending.

 

[Messrules11]

If they play like they did yesterday we’re going to lose like 10-0. They better show up today.

I think I’d rather watch the ads on this site.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Wow, crazy stat.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Standing outside of Capital One Arena. Plenty of Oilers fans have showed up today.

Whether the Oilers do or not is another question.

Janmark scratched Kapanen in. Kapanen has 7 pts in 22 games vs WSH.

If they have to go into Vegas for round 2 again just book the tee times.

Wow, crazy stat.

If you're reading this Stan, get a f***ing goalie!!!

Where ya been? Touring with Iron Maiden?

Good. Janmark has a grand total of 2 goals this season and had a bad giveaway yesterday leading to a goal against. I get why we have him as a defensive player but when that starts to crumble then it is time to sit a couple of games

 

[JordanGalhanth]

My view for today.

It was a 5-0 win against Washington last season that turned things around. Hoping against hope that they'll be angry enough from yesterday to respond well today.

Nice, though they missed an opportunity to have red white and blue seats to tie into the nations capital theme.

And Las Vegas has won three in a row and starting to catch fire.

It's like the Edmonton Oilers are allergic to first place. Anytime we manage to get first place, we can't hold it for more than a week or two

Unfortunately John Gibson got injured yesterday

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

That's a hell of change of the roster
