  • Projected lineups based on yesterday's practice. Potentially updates after morning skate, but I imagine this is how they'll start.

  • They should have sent a poet.

  • Just win.

Let's f**king go Oil! Come out hard and don't give an inch to them and I think we can take it.

I'm so nervous, I'm gonna be taking anxiety shits all day.

What's the consensus best donair going these days(maybe something more exciting than Swiss has arrived)? Feel like I need a throwback oilers supper.

My series prediction is a Gentleman’s Sweep. Oilers in 5 after getting crushed in Game 1 allowing the prognosticators to think they can start shoveling dirt on our rotting corpse.

But one thing this team with this coach and his staff have proven is they are a very good rebound team after gassing a game.

This one’s gonna be fugly. The crowd and a relentless forecheck combined, the moment, the setting along with that shitty McLoed Foegele Perry line and Nurse Ceci pair will expose the Oilers tonight.

Not gonna lie, I think we get our ass handed to us tonight. Adjustments ahead for Game 2.

Batten down the hatches and stay positive gents. It might be a very long night but with the new dawn tomorrow comes a new day and then it’s game on from there.

The Panthers fair weather fan base doesn’t even know what’s going on. This is just a cool moment for them out in a swamp by a shopping mall. It means literally nothing to the majority of them. It’s a neat place to be seen for a day or two, chuck a plastic rat on the ice and escape the oppressive heat and humidity for 3 hours. Thats it.

To us it is literally life or death. A religion. A cult. Losing the cup would be soul crushing after having to deal with 35 years of seeing the best team in hockey history be dismantled, then league economics killing any hope we had of even competing, several near relocations of the team, losing a heartbreaker to Carolina, getting kicked in the nuts for a decade, and then suffering under Chiarelli and his idiotic management.

This is our life. This is our time. Let’s go win this thing.

In no way am I underestimating the Panthers as they are a pretty good squad, but this could be a legacy defining moment for Drai and McDavid. I don’t think they let the opportunity slip and fully believe the Oil will be hoisting the cup after 6 games.

Looking forward to seeing how these teams match up.

I suspect if Florida keeps up the undisciplined play and the Oiler's powerplay can take advantage, Panther's game will be blunted due to fear of being punished for their usual aggressive tactics. Of course, that will depend on the refs, who are a chaotic element that rarely does their job in the way you'd expect.

I like the forward lines. Hopefully the dreaded Nurse/Ceci pairing doesn’t bite us in the ass if that is indeed the 2nd pairing in tonight’s game.

Will need good or great game from everyone and fair officiating. I am not expecting anyone from Florida have supernova games, but they can grind down goals from forecheck and cycle plays.

Be better team in front of both goals and we win this series.
