I think most Oiler fans that post on the mains are pretty degenerate internet dweebs that don't take themselves too seriously.

Or at least I'd hope!


Hi Drunk, I'm worried.

It’s less of an oilers thing and more of a general HF thing, promise. Looooot of thin skin/overcaring on our beloved hockey website and WDI brings it out like you wouldn’t believe

 

[McShogun99]

Not gonna lie, I completely forgot that Edmonton somehow is equally as awful in game 1s as we are, and it gave me a little boost of energy

Game 1 will be both teams trying to find ways to lose.

 

[MBTendy]

You should try playing game 1 like game 7 for a change

Why change what’s not broken i guess

Game 1 will be both teams trying to find ways to lose.

Confirmed 6 OT’s incoming.

lol I think it's a hilarious slogan. But I'm also not a normie, so that might be the reason why lmao

 

[OilersaretheMcBest]

Based off what? We never win game 1s!

Oh ya we are definitely going to lose tonight and everyone who hasn't written us off yet will write us off

 

[Elysian]

Fully expect this one to be a fun one

 

[myleafs]

I think I just went blind.

I did too, but for different reasons....

 

[Frank Drebin]

Winning game one could be considered a very good sign.
It could also be considered a very bad sign.

Almost everything is in favor of Dallas, went with Stars in 5. Edmonton will need consistently good goaltending if they want a chance to win this series, I just don't see it happening given Skinners track record so far. Stars also have 3 lines they can roll out, I don't know Edmonton is going match that.

No lies here.

But I hope the Oilers can pull their heads out of their asses and put up a good even series.

Why is this such a popular narrative I keep reading?

What Edmonton has are the 2 most elite forwards in the game, and currently the top 4 scorers in the playoffs.

A historically high PowerPlay
The Stingiest PK


The only thing that the Stars have better is goaltending and a better 3rd line. The Oilers are significantly better at everything else.

They just need to get hot goaltending, that's all McDavid/Drai will need, they'll get you 2-3 a game. The challenge will be keeping 3/4 out of their own net.

 

[steierwrass]

My three takes for 1st game.
1. There will be lot of people surprised how good Heiskanen is. They thought he is good, but not this good.
2. Teams will compete 167 minutes, who will lose and then McDavid wants to sleep.
3. Oilers won't score PP with 5 chances.

 

[Idiot Stick]

4-2 stars dub

My three takes for 1st game.
1. There will be lot of people surprised how good Heiskanen is. They thought he is good, but not this good.

him and forsling are criminally underrated

 

[zar]

I'm not voting in the poll.
My heart and mind have differing opinions and I can't let one or the other win!

C’mon man!

They played a good shotblock/sticks in lanes game the last few games against the Canucks.
And I saw it many times during the regular season. So it's possible, just... Need to limit the brainfarts. And badly.

C’mon man!

Hughes is better than Heiskanen.

This series is going to be nice Dallas posters getting drowned out by people not even involved in the series.

OT - It was always going to come down to whether we get 16 game win streak skinner of playoff 5kinner. I'm more curious to see what happens in games 3 and 4. DAL smoke Colorado and Vegas in their own buildings so far these playoffs, interested to see if that trend continues.

Yup. It will be
30% Oilers fans
20% Stars fans and
50% NEW Stars fans

 

[Kcb12345]

Hughes is better than Heiskanen.

Makar is the only dman in the game who is possibly better than Heiskanen come playoff time

 

[steierwrass]

Hughes is better than Heiskanen.

And the point is? Did I ever compare him to anyone? Hughes is not playing in this series.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Makar is the only dman in the game who is possibly better than Heiskanen come playoff time

As long as you're not including the Dman who just set the record for most points through 2 rounds.

 

[zar]

Im already having PTSD flashbacks to the early 2000’s

McDavid was born in 1997… it’s going to be a 1997 year! LFG!
