[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Oilers in 6 still but man do they need to lock things down tonight.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Please

Foegele please take this opportunity and run with it. 20 goals was great, but this is the time that matters. You’re a UFA, these games could define the rest of your life man give it your all

 

[PuckG]

New day, new game.

If the Oil can play a full 60, even the PDO princesses won’t be able to keep up.

 

[Drivesaitl]

So Carrick and Stecher dropped off the face of the Earth as well as Campbell, Pickard? Did they get blasted to the Space Station. I missed the launch.

Brown did so well in game 1 doing absolutely nothing that he draws back in? Corey Fossil still in?

Is Sam Gagner in witness protection or does he still exist? Would he even play if Drai for some reason can't?

Some real strange continuing lineup decisions.

I like some things about KK but theres some other things that leave me wondering.

Stay the course. Look what it brought us in game 1. heh

Oilers W but need to be better and Skinner needs to be an actual NHL goalie this time.

 

[Canovin]

It's the second round of the playoffs and I'm not as excited as I used to be for Oilers playoffs

I thought Brown would be scratched again for sure and Carrick would draw back in.

 

[Canovin]

Just put in Lavoie on the 4th line and tell him to keep shooting from anywhere

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Just put in Lavoie on the 4th line and tell him to keep shooting from anywhere

Yeah no thanks. That’s how you might win in street hockey but not Round 2.

Give Gagner a shot why not. Dude lives for the oil, I'd bet he'd surprise in the playoffs. Not like Brown does anything.

 

[TheNumber4]

I say he plays:

 

[Kerberos]

Season is on the line tonight. A must win if this team wants to accomplish what they set out to do.

Play with urgency and dictate against an inferior team and maybe good things will happen.

 

[Oilhawks]

Yeah no thanks. That’s how you might win in street hockey but not Round 2.

Yup, the Canes figure it's a winning formula and are down 3-0 to the Rangers. If they didn't have Guentzel, the games wouldn't even be close. Dude is wasted on that team.

 

[Canovin]

Yeah no thanks. That’s how you might win in street hockey but not Round 2.

Nucks were shooting from everywhere and scored. They even scored with no Nucks in front of Skinner lol

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Using NHL players. Lavoie is not an NHL player.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Well the end of game 1 was hideous! We looked WORSE than this year's San Jose Sharks!

If you don't see me anymore after this game, its probably because I've died of a brain aneurism or heart attack.

Seriously though, just win this game. Can't fall 2 games behind.

 

[Navx94]

Knob was asked who would warmup in case those two can’t go. He replied with “they will warmup for themselves” then he was asked if they can’t go and he said Carrick.

Doesn’t that imply at least one of them is playing wouldn’t it be Carrick and gagner if both can’t go?

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Ceci still playing is a crime against hockey.

That pairing needs to be fired into the f***ing sun

 

[Fishy McScales]

Just put in Lavoie on the 4th line and tell him to keep shooting from anywhere

I love it when posters bitch and moan a lot, and then you see what they think the team should do.

Makes me feel things aren't so bad after all.

Lavoie can't be worse than Brown taking that dumb pulling penalty in his first game in the playoffs

 

[guymez]

I find it a little perplexing why posters would acutally think that Pickard would start this game.
Zero chance of that happening and really there is zero reason to think it would happen.

Skinner is the teams #1 goalie and he will be given every opportunity to bounce back. Especially after he did exactly that in game 3 of the first round.

That essentially goes for the rest of the current lineup. Thats the team that put away LA so you dont quit on that lineup in just the 2nd game in this series.
Having an extra PK'er in Brown helps as well. If Drai cant go (I suspect he will) then switch RNH to center, Maybe bring in Sam Carrick on the 4th line so they have an extra RH center if need be,
He also adds some sandpaper.
Bump up Holloway or Brown.

The most important thing IMO is to just stop playing passive against the Canucks.
That may have worked against LA but it wont work in this series.
Time for the team to play a full 60 minutes on their toes...not their heels.
If they do that they should win.

 

[NedPlimpton]

I'm feeling good about this game.

Just keep shooting, shooting, shooting IMO. Pour it on and stay at it. I know they can do it.

puck drop still feels so damn far away and I'm exhausted, but I'll surely perk up by then.

 

[Fishy McScales]

Lavoie can't be worst than Brown taking that dumb pulling penalty in his first game in the playoffs

Yes he can. Much, much worse in fact.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

0 and 5 versus the Canucks is sad

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Season is on the line tonight. A must win if this team wants to accomplish what they set out to do.

Play with urgency and dictate against an inferior team and maybe good things will happen.

We are 0-5 against them this season and outscored 25-11, are they really that inferior or is this a myth? We have zero reason to be cocky, none
