Nice. I like walnuts.

 

[TheNumber4]

This is a really good point, people don’t talk enough about it

f*** tkachuk

Seriously can right books on the subject of f*** Tkachuk!

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

I won't say if......so when they make the reverse sweep it will cement Connors legacy forever in hockey history.

Lets' just think about Game 5 for now.

 

[BIeucheeseWithWings]

The boys are looking relaxed and happy in the pregame availables.

 

[guymez]

Tonight is their toughest challenge. If they win tonight game 6 will be absolutely bananas at home which should give them a ton of energy. Then it comes down to 1 game that's a coin flip.

100%
What also works in the Oilers favour is that if it comes down to a game 7 coin flip the Oilers will have already played 3 games with that approach.

 

[cruisecity]

Bear down here fellas. We are the best team on earth when our goalie plays to an average level and our defencemen mitigate mistakes. The rest takes care of itself.

 

[Hollywood55]

Yeh if you really think about it… f*** Tkachuk.

Love last game he went after Derek Ryan lol. What a wimp.

Love last game he went after Derek Ryan lol. What a wimp.

Also punched McD in back of head twice and headlocked him and punched him 2 more times. All 4 punches illegal in the sport of Boxing by the way. This guy is one serious POS.

 

[Kerberos]

Tkachuk confident ahead of Game 5: 'We're gonna go' win

He did. You would think that type of confidence would come from someone whos actually been impactful this series...

Only time the rat has been noticeable in this series is when he's cheapshotting people.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Reading his entire comment, that's a pretty weak way to read a "guarantee". Every player goes into a game expecting to win especially a game as critical as this.

I disagree. How do you interpret that anyway else? If McDavid said “We have a chance to bring the series back to Edmonton and we’re gonna do that.” That’s a statement and you bet that would raise a few eye brows. That’s just saying “we will win tonight” in different words.

 

[Cloned]

It really is the most important game of their careers. And if they win that will continue until history of hopefully made.



They look delicious.

I’m guessing you’re a big Chianti fan?

 

[guymez]

Didn't a Ranger call a win earlier in the playoffs and lost? Gets pretty old, no one can guarantee a win and that's just a dumb thing to say. Mess was the one exception because he did it once, backed it up and made history. Anyone else doing it now is pretty meaningless.

This is perfect.

 

[TheNumber4]

Wonder if Janmark will take it easy on Barkov tonight. One dude can only take so much clowning.

 

[NeverForget06]

O'Rourke and Kozari again tonight, btw

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet but f*** Tkachuk tbh

 

[BudBundy]

We are going to see the same Panther team we saw in game 2. Have the Oilers learned enough about springing guys on a fast breakout and driving hard to their blue paint? Or will they try and pass it into the net all night? Tactics and drive. We need both. Plus some luck! LFG boys!

 

[brentashton]

Said it earlier in the playoffs, but just not nervous about the games or the outcome this play off year. The deeper they go the more at peace I feel.

This group seems to have “it”.

PS - I also checked my pulse and yes, it’s still beating.

 

[McJadeddog]

Hoping for the Oilers to extend the season, but really worried if the Oilers can do what they did in game 4 on that sloppy bad Florida ice.

May be a style of game that favors the Panthers, as we saw earlier, when the Oilers can't wheel, they defer.

We're due to win a close game, hope it's tonight.

The shit ice of the southern teams is something that just doesn't get enough press. Could you imagine the NFL or FIFA allowing a team to always have a wet and muddy field during the playoffs? If they can't have good ice, they shouldn't have a franchise, full stop.

I could imagine FIFA doing anything as long as they were paid enough


Also I forgot who recommended Kelly’s to watch the Euros, but that was a great shout they have good Guinness in here

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

I'm here until Saturday, so we should be safe for Games 5 and 6

 

[jeffff]

I want to score in the first 5 minutes.....but not some beauty bar down goal. I want Bob to let in an absolute stinker so he can think about it for the rest of the period and game. He's a head case.....we've cracked him. No we split him wide open!!!

C'mon boys!!

This is the best I've felt about a team in the Mcdrai era. Win or lose this series, it seems we've found the recipe for this team to remain a contender for the coming future at least. All the next GM has to do is upgrade on Ceci, Skinner, and add a top 6 forward. Knoblauch's coaching, Broberg and Holloway's emergence, the continued growth of RNH and Hyman, this team is set to have multiple runs at the cup as long as we can keep 29+97, which is looking encouraging according to Seravalli.

He's riding the coattails of Barkov and Bobrovsky all series

I felt that Drai was 75% out the door. If 97 and 29 both re-sign, I will be doing cartwheels.
