Speaking of beards, I wasn't aware that Ekholm had served some time with the 1st Rhode Island light artillery during the Civil War. Aim for the Stars, Mattias...View attachment 877839

Currently near the black sea trying to see of a local bar to see if they are showing the game live. Bars close at 5am here.

Your close enough to Russia hopefully someone has it going

In countries like Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey I'm not sure they know what hockey is, let alone show it at a bar in the wee hours of the morning.

Depends what side of the sea he’s on I suppose

Gotta think RNH and Hyman are becoming real good buddies

Well I kind of doubted he's in Ukraine or Russia right now, or Georgia for that matter.

As long as Nurse and Ceci are never seen together again, we should be fine. Put them in different hotels even, just to be safe.

Dallas is favoured to win on sportsbook? Even with the Tanev injury?

 

[MoontoScott]

Well, just the usual comment: play defense like you did in the last few periods of game #4 and limit those grade A chances because you know Stu can't stop too many of them. That's not picking on the guy--it's just the reality of these playoffs. You can win with him and he will make a few spectacular stops but it has to be lights out defense or ................

Sounds like limited or no lineup changes and that's good. The mix last game was just the right touch.

Good luck to the boys--win tonight and close it out on Sunday night at Roger's Place.

I just spent nearly 3 weeks in Greece, Italy and France/Monaco and almost nobody knows anything about hockey. I was in Palermo, Italy during gm 7 against the Canucks and the only place the wifi was good enough to stream the game was in the lobby of the hotel my wife and I were staying in, so I was watched that game at 4am on my iPad in the lobby, trying to explain ice hockey to a couple of curious Sicilian hotel employees.

Winner of this game probably wins the series. No pressure.

Dallas was favored for the series amd are on home ice. No surprise. Ni big deal either

Winner of this game probably wins the series. No pressure.

Wouldn't think that at all
How mamybtimes over the last 3 years amd we come back home down 3-2 amd won the series? I think 3 now?

Simple treat it like a game seven.

like their radio commercial together.... Call Legacy.. call Legacy lol

I wonder if we hear about Tanev's status early in the day or Dallas will say he is a game time decision.

Dump it in the corner, put him in the boards. No mercy for Tanev. Just punish him.

My prediction for tonight is Oilers with the 4 - 2 win.

Hopefully that game gives us momentum that carries over. It feels impossible to predict

Of course a win would be massive. If we can go into game 6 with a chance to win the west, it feels so much simpler

Dallas has an amazing win percentage in game 7's. I like our odds of winning the next 2 better than winning a game 7 against a team coached by Peter DeBoer.

Dallas has a losing record at home, they are 4-5 at home at 6-2 on the road. So I'm happy they have home ice advantage this series.

We are dead even at 5-3 at home and 5-3 on the road.

If we take the road games and they take their road game, we win.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Biggest game of the mcdrai era…. We will see now if this team is ready

That is utterly meaningless
