It is the Oilers against the world.

Dallas Star sympathisers are assholes.


You single handedly tipped the scales.

It’s crazy how hated we are lol. I have never seen anything like it

I’m a Red Sox fan, and I swear oilers are more hated in the rest of Canada (other than Edmonton) than the Sox are. It’s insane

Seravalli saying none of the Oiler D would displace any of the Dallas D.

What a fat f*** clown. Iam sure they will give him a warm welcome when he drags his fat ass to Edmonton on Sunday.
Luckily I tuned out right before that squeaky little piglet man got to air.

I couldn't listen to the prejudiced garbage more than a few minutes, that is what Sportsnet's coverage is, and when I heard Seravalli was coming on after a super progressive block of commercials I said to myself, "why aggravate yourself, you have the power to turn this crap off," and I did.

If we even had average goaltending I would like our chances in this series. With Skinner though I don’t see how we win a game (fully expecting Pickard to have to come in for Game 3)

The team will be playing in a way to make it easy for Skinner to make saves. Our D have to make sure they aren’t pinching unless they are Ekholm!

Oh man. $5 per ticket to go watch in the arena and yell with strangers. Tempting. I’m too lazy to stand at the fan park for free

I mean that's just not true. Ekholm Bouchard are an elite top pairing. Heiskanen is the best D but I'd put Ek Bouch 2/3 and Tanev 4

Yes, our D has to play exceptionally well to limit those higher danger opportunities (which they have been great at thus far). Skinner has to stop some of the more dangerous shots that do manage to get through though if we want to get past Dallas

It is quite insane. Every single post on NHL instagram/facebook, sportsnet and other central sports have LOUD hatred towards us

I really don't see why the Stars are such favorites. The Oilers were the better regular season team after Knoblauch took over. The Stars have a depth advantage and a better goalie, but the Oilers have much better high end skill and a special teams advantage

I can't believe the disrespect Leon is getting from media members. The fact that most of them haven't even thought of him for Conn Smythe is astounding. He's putting up Gretzky-esque playoff numbers.

Yep I hope they take it personally. It’s insane , he is easily the best of the best so far

Oilers are bring pretty disrespected by the media pretty unprofessional imo. Hope the oilers shut them up

It jealousy it has to be. We have been pretty irrelevant for the last two decades so it’s the only thing that makes sense
Don't you ever forget how the Canadian mainstream media kicked us when we were down during the decade of darkness.

Never get gaslit again.
