He is one of a handful of Canuck trolls who have been littering Oilers playoff threads for literally years, and the genius mods protect those guys (possibly because some of them are trolls themselves). As the saying goes, how do you get a piece of shit to stop smelling? You let it dry out. Those guys don't deserve any more water.

Ah, gotcha!
If anyone has one they don't need, I'd be ultra grateful. Gonna try my luck in the general sale. Worst case, there's always the (gulp) secondary market.

The Penguins fans on this board are crazy.
There is literally zero history between our two teams but they can't stand us because they somehow think McDavid having success takes away from Crosby's legacy. I don't think any Oilers fan has a problem with the Penguins.

I’m thinking of hitting games five and six. I feel good we win the cup in one of those games. If I can be in the rink for a cup win I think I can be at peace when it’s time to die.

Fun fact Viktor Arvidsson's 1G 4A 5P statline is more scoring contributions than Foegele and McLeod had in last year's first 3 rounds combined.

Congratulations on your western conference victory! Even as a Habs fan I hope you'll go all the way and take the cup! best of success!

I technically can afford it, but I really can't justify it. Life is too expensive as-is and that continues to rapidly accelerate.
I have plenty of fun watching games with friends or going to the bar, depending on the night.

This strikes a chord. Edmonton was such a great place to be during the late 70's/early 80's. I remember hopping on the bus from the west end with a buddy when I was about 15 and just going to various places around the city to see what kind of trouble we could get in to. Skipped school one day and went to the Commonwealth grounds, and wandering around we found an unlocked service entrance. Walked through it and got right into the empty stadium, and sat down at centerfield and just looked around at all the seats. Never saw another soul and nobody said a word to us. I have so many stories like this; if you were a kid at the time, the entire city was your playground. I visit now and hardly recognize the place anymore.
Every Saturday night was wholly committed to watching HNIC. It was just part of our life, and by the time I was 14 I was caught up in it too. It must have been some kind of osmosis. Wednesday nights were like church for Dad and me. Oilers on ITV time, and we cheered every goal like it was Game 7 of the SCF. I have two adult sons now, fine men but neither have ever shown any interest in sports or have a competitive bone in their bodies. Lord knows I tried everything to get them interested. So now I watch alone and think of Dad and how much he would have enjoyed this time and this team. And in hi def to boot!
I like the guy but the only guy he’s playing in front of is emberson.
And that’s this year.

That shithead cost Hyman an opportunity to play in the final. Hope he gets his physical payback next season.Stolen from the Dallas board where they are not happy with Marchment’s game.

I remember buying my 26 inch RCA console Tv for the 82-83 playoffs and thinking man they will never make color TV as good as this ever lol
My best friend sister went to Game 6 last year. Said it sounded like she entered a jet engine hangar, and her ear was ringing for a week.
She was messaging me during the game saying she couldnt even hear her friend sitting next to her.

It is very strange to play 3 rounds as a road team and finally have home ice for the last one. Not sure if that's ever happened.
Hopefully the oilers ask what rule book they will be using.
Luckily, I did work at rogers during some of the runs (2017 & 2020-2022). So, I have experienced SOME of it at least.
Not surprised, I'd love to go to a finals game.. but $1,000 for a ticket? No way. Most of my friends wouldn't be able to justify it either, even if I did decide to bite the bullet.

My mom did. But then, she's in a retirement home and thinks Gretzky still plays for us.

I had oilers in 6, I thought dallas would win one more at home
I know it’s beating a dead horse but I really truly believe that 11-7 is the best deployment for this matchup, especially with Hyms out.
What beats a heavy forecheck? Wave after wave of fresh D who can play a fast break style and wrestle possession back before the other team can even establish it. We have the personnel for this, so let’s go all in.
On the other hand, we saw how much Kulak struggled on his off-side last night and even more so how he just doesn’t mesh with Nurse. We just can’t have that against Florida. It’s a mismatch they will feast on.
Stecher has to draw in to mitigate that, so it’s pretty obvious to me: Kulak and Ekholm take turns next to Bouch, Nurse and Stecher pair up again, and so do Walman-Klingberg.
The benefit of that is you get at least one fresh D out every time who has been sitting for two shifts and it will make weathering the Panthers forecheck a lot less daunting. Doubly so on special teams, which will get a heavy workout if last year is any indication.
We also know McDrai will want all the ice they can get, so dropping an F is not a huge loss. Those guys have been load managed all year, so let them play 25+ minutes for every game this series if they feel up to it. There’ll be lots of time to rest when it’s over.
I hope Knob at least tries this, because we are going to need to get creative against this opponent to win.

I think this year McDavid also has the mindset that they should enjoy the journey and moment. It's an accomplishment to win the West again
Having Brown back, with some extra rest, could be very helpful

And then they got Wallman, Klingberg, and Kane back.
yes, in 1989 they would have.
