I’m looking forward to green shirt lady behind the bench

100X better than the Green men. f*** those nobodies.

Thought it was funny that after one game they weren't allowed anywhere near the penalty box. Wonder if any complaints. I thought it was ridiculous myself.

Oh well, we won't have to see Green men in the playoffs for another dozen years. They'll have walking sticks and senior sass by then.

you forgot "favortism from the refs"

I like that you used the Canucks spelling to mock them. Attention to detail.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Yep. 32 teams. Being in Final 4 with possibility of running table. It ain't failure.

Looks like the " Canada's team" term is done and gone now. Simply ironic press.

 

[Mr Sakich]

going to be a long series so going to try to not get too high or low after one game.

Oilers in 6 whether they win or lose tonight

 

[Zubov2156]

We have an interesting bunch here. When we are winning it's plan the parade, but if we start losing it is fire sale the team. Don't take it personally - we are a passionate bunch.

That being said most posters here are pretty reasonable and friendly. We know the Stars are a juggernaut, but we also know our team gets dumpstered on a lot too at any chance.

Here's hoping for an entertaining series - and an Oilers win.

Satire - thanks for reaching out. I think that type of fan base is common in every sport. I love the passion ! Life is full of challenges and disappointments...Life is too short to be so serious!
Thanks for the compliments towards the Stars. They seem to have the right mix working for them right now. Other than the fact we are in the WCF, I'm most excited about the young talent on the team and in the farm system.
The Oilers have truly transformed their roster from a 1 line team to a deep and effective 2-3 line team. Bouche-bomb has got an incredible shot and has a high ceiling IMO. Its nice to see him and Miro on my team get some love. I'm so tired of "All Hail Cale" Fox and Hughes getting their tires pumped to no end.
Good luck to the Oiler. Gonna be a blast if the Stars win!

If the Oilers have the will I have no doubt they'll win tonight and win the series.

This series probably goes 7 games. The Oilers need Iglesias back in the lineup, and some contribution from the likes of Foegele, McLeod, and the 4th line.

We made Silovs look better than he was. Had we not taken periods (and game 5 off) his numbers wouldn't have been so good.

Thought the worst game was game 3. They were always behind and the whole thing felt futile. Game 5 they should have won. And game 1 was just criminal squandering of the 4:1 lead, albeit after Draisaitl's injury.

 

[Messrules11]

Enough of this Stars loving BS, finally I don’t have to hear Mikey Anderson or Petey but here comes this Stars BS before the series even starts. WTF.

 

[tardigrade81]

Holy hell now that's a meal! That'll be $37.50 please, drive thru!

Yup pretty much!

I forgot the whistle dog is back. I will get that. Combo is 12 bucks and the wraps are 7. I think will come to 19

Still pricy as hell, but I do it for the oilers…..

Not because I’m fat or anything

Fans or the team or both? hehe

 

[Dynamic]

Uggggh just get a split somehow.

And am I the only one who doesn’t like watching Dallas home games. The TV camera is stupid low, people will just start randomly standing blocking the view, and that horn is an ugly ugly sound. Maybe it’s just PTDS from years past.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Just win. Take advantage of no Hintz, beat em big, and play them harder if they rush him back game 2.

Also, secretly hoping Skinner and Igor Shesterkin did an S-name soul and luck swap. Would make sense with that Laf goal last night

 

[CROTT]

Are we really gonna have a Stars fan here this whole series? Ugh.

Ahh, he seams okay. Any one is welcome if they want to have a discussion about the series even with some friendly banter. On a related not anyone seen @gingerpapa lately?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Both teams are awful in Game 1s so someone is winning tonight

 

[The Nuge]

Yes I agree with this. This team lets any amount of success go to their heads.

Also - hammer Tanev. All their d have played a ton of minutes. Need Kane to get out there and put him through the end boards a couple of times.

Ya with their defense playing extra minutes, we need Kane/Holloway/Hyman/Carrick/etc to throw a hit every single time the puck gets dumped in. Of the remaining teams, the 4 dmen with the most minutes played are all on Dallas. We need to capitalize on that

 

[Broberg Speed]

The Dallas Stars are a fake NHL franchise created by Gary Bettman in 1993 and propped up ever since.

f*** the Dallas Stars.

Nah, Ginger understands the unwritten rules of conduct on these boards.

I'd expect a swift kick in the ass if I was posting "Go Oilers!" or "I predict the Oilers win the series 4-2" on their boards no matter how polite I am.

 

[elmeroil]

When they spanked the Oilers 5-0, goaltending was the difference.

Yup pretty much!

Ahahahaha love what you will do for the team!

 

[Zubov2156]

We just finished a series against the Canucks. We're not used to any fan that can just be straight up and fair. Its been awhile. lol We're the team with the garbage D, garbage goalie, most unlikable team on Earth, buncha nobodies, PP merchants, Cyrsaitl, McCrybaby, one man team all that... guess who said that? lol

Hey Driversaitl - IMO straight up is the only way to be...Cuts out all the BS!
I can understand that . I'm from Texas and I commonly get... I don't know hockey, we buy our championships, bunch of old farts, foot in the crease/goal didn't count '99, playing style is boring...blah blah ...noise is all it is! Nucks fans are oblivious and obnoxious.
Oilers are great team and I love Draisaitl and Mcdavid ( I have both of their rookie cards in my collection). The Oilers PP is the best I have seen in the league in at least 4yrs. Avs had a ridiculous PP unit in 2020/21. Screw the Avs
Is it game time yet...Im exhausted Lol.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

We're the underdogs in a play-off series against the Dallas Stars.

If this doesn't make me feel like a kid again, I don't know what would.

Eat shit Dallas, get f***ed Belfour and let's win us some games Oilers.

Yes I know that, just haven’t noticed him around here of late.

 

[Zubov2156]

Honestly, I appreciate the acceptance from all of you ladies and gents! We can all unite in the fact that most of us strongly dislike the Nucks and the Flames. I have PTSD from when the Stars were in the pacific div.

How is this shit allowed, where are the mods? F*** Dallas and F*** Zubov

 

[PuckG]

I’m looking forward to green shirt lady behind the bench

HF should collectively start a gofundme to ensure she attends all games.

It don’t matter if you’re fat if you can do that crazy splits thing you show of.

A&W away my friend.

Funny, she's from Toronto.
