Lol. Losers. It ain’t gonna make a difference cause we are gonna win tonight 4-1 anyway!! Just arrive in enemy territory (Calgary) sporting my Oiler stuff. Already having a bunch of comments and spouters at the Olive Garden. I just do this 🖕and it shuts the rude ones up lol. Most people just throw out something funny and then I give it right back. lol! . I brought my Budweiser red light and an oilers flag to sport around the hotel. Got to get the room decorated so it feels like home.

yep. lol, sorry not sure what I did here. but yeah... Anyway, the team/s in black and white and their skid row arena crew will try whatever it takes to try and give their pathetic state an edge. It did not work tonight for them. Flames suck California. Another convincing win tonight! GOG!!

Wow, Sharptooth doesn't put up with crap. Usually I just smile (I'm deep in Leafs and Wings territory).
Great game. Hopefully we saved some goals for the next games. Smith solid, LA lots of shots but mostly from the outside. Nurse was iffy. Ceci awesome. Kane spectacular. Nuge and Hyman big thumbs up.
That pass from Archie to Nuge was a beauty. Really happy our 3rd line got going.

Also this team has scored 17 goals in three games. Mcdavid 6 pts Kane 6 pts Bouchard 5 pts!!

Yeh Living out here in Vancouver I take some shots occasionally whenever I'm wearing my Oiler stuff. So I just use the Patrick Roy Line " Sorry I can't hear you very well I've got 5 Stanley Cup rings in my ears". That usually shuts them up but occasionally I'll get the usual response. The thing in this series that is and will payoff big time as we continue through this series and (hopefully onwards) is the ice time for McD and Drai. This game Drai' s time was just over 14 minutes and McD's 16 minutes. I'm also going to give KH a lot of credit too. The players he's brought in including Kane and also the changing of coaches so far is proving him right.

They are playing great together. Both had more minutes than Nurse last night, and I'm very happy with that. Great to see Bouchard settling in to his d zone play. He was really struggling there for a while and the improvement has been steady and significant. Not sure Keith will be back next year. Feel like his cap could be better spent somewhere else. But, it's hard to argue with the play we're seeing him now, and for the last couple of months. How would we get rid of Keith? He can't be traded, waived etc without his consent, which won't happen, and why would he retire and forfeit $5.5 Million? $5.5m is his cap hit but his actual pay is only $1.5m . He's made about $73m in his career. He's 38yo, and was drafted 20(!!) years ago. Retirment is a reasonable possibility.

Evander Kane leads the playoffs with 5 goals. Leon has 3.
Bouchard leads in points for dmen with 6, and assist with 5.
Smitty is rocking a .946 sv%.
It's early but a +11 goal differential through 3 games is very solid.
Can't count our chickens, but I sure like this start to the tourney!!

I know LA was firing from everywhere, but they are not an offensive team. I’m hoping we work on this the next 2 games.

I know LA was firing from everywhere, but they are not an offensive team. I’m hoping we work on this the next 2 games. What they are doing is to shoot from anywhere and then crash the crease hoping for a loose puck or bump Smith to try to get him off his game. You're seeing a lot of "get togethers" in the Oiler crease. They know he is an emotional player. What's amusing is whenever one of the Kings (Lemieux especially) engages Kane they make sure there is a ref in between. His reputation must be quite intimidating. Hopefully he won't engage just give the "hairy eyeball".

I agree it's a concern, but I think it's a result of getting the leads in all 3 games. We're not the kind of team that's going to get a lead and clamp it down Dal-Cgy style. I think we're playing to our strength, for better or for worse. Imo it's better to be true to the team we have rather than try to reinvent ourselves in to a traditional 'playoff style' team. But, definitely, there is room for improvement.

They obviously don't want to go back to Edm down 3-1 and being embarrassed on the scorecard at home that last game they'll certainly have enough motivation. That's ok though, we got our secret weapon lil Ben in the crowd tonight. We Got This. GO OILERS GO!!

I agree though, I expect tonight to be a tight bloodbath and the kings won’t go down meekly. Stiff treat coming but we are showing signs we can answer those challenges👍👍
