Thanks ever so much for the warm welcome. I have been a life long Oilers fans from back in the early-1980's. Oddly enough, I'm an Oliers fan born and raised in eastern KY and now live in western WVa. OK now that's awesome, a fan from the hockey mecca of West Virginia! We have one other member on here who is an Oiler fan from Columbus! I remember that early 1980’s Oilers team as it was loaded. Gretzky Messier Fuhr Kurri Coffey Anderson Moog

Gretzky Messier Fuhr Kurri Coffey Anderson Moog Yup I'm with you man. Been an Oiler fan since the WHA days, started following the team in 1976 when guys like Glen Sather, Al Hamilton, Bill Flett were on the team. Loved Sathers tenacity and it continued with him as the coach haha. Then they got some skinny kid named Wayne in 1979 and it all became history in the making. I've never deviated from this team, and never will. GO OIL!

That's unfathomable, I have no words. How could someone do that to a child, none the less going through what she is. Sick. its unbelievable. I'm sure the person couldnt know she has cancer, but that's irrelevant! no human being should ever do that to another human being NVM a friggin little girl. Geez, I know USA and LA are really f'd up and ignorant, but how can anyone possibly be this ignorant??? I take it back! I now hope the whole San Andreas erupts, splits and the whole place slips under the pacific!

That fan from Columbus is aging quite badly watching this series. Totally traumatized, but optimistic. These 8-8:30 starts on school nights are taking a toll on all of us. Lawdy.

I now hope the whole San Andreas erupts, splits and the whole place slips under the pacific! I spend tons of time in the USA and the overwhelming majority of them are amazing people who would give you the shirt off their backs. LA fans were horrified when they heard of what that person did to that little girl and they rallied around her. I believe they started a collection for her that is already over 10K, and they were so mortified by that girl who Instagramed that she was proud of that incident and wants fans to spit in every oilers fans face that they found out where she worked and inundated her employer at the auto dealership with calls and emails and got her fired. No true hockey fan condones actions like that from those two, and Kings fans came together to both out the people who were Doughtybags and make it right. To me that's what a fanbase with class does.

I love how folks responded to this. Dutter that Huberdeau. Yeah, I've seen an overwhelming positive response from LA fans to this on twitter and its driven by the fans not just the org which is very cool! It's fair to say there's always a few Fogolin2's (not strong enough word i know) in every fanbase like the idiot who threw beer on the ice (how can you afford to do that at Roger's)!! I also know lots of great Americans tbh, but sometimes when you see some of the shiit going on down there inc this incident, its sometimes beyond my comprehension that humans can be so stupid and ignorant and I think its fair to say that the U.S. has more than their fair share?

From what I'm reading we will play at either 2pm or 8pm (mst) on Saturday depending on how many teams are playing. Basically if Winnipeg and Tampa extent their series tonight we will play at 8pm. If Vegas or Toronto win their series tonight, we will play at 2pm. Lame. I work Saturday. So go Jets and Go Lightning (spit spit) tonight. These extra days off suck but I'd imagine some of the players are enjoying them just from being banged up, it's been a hard fought series thus far. Otherwise, the anticipation stinks. Imagine if we had lost the last game, these days off would be maddening! But alas, we won, just like we will again on Saturday, hopefully in similar fashion. Rest/heal up, watch some video, get back on the ice and practice up. Finish these guys off in 6, can't wait! GOG!!

Rest/heal up, watch some video, get back on the ice and practice up. Finish these guys off in 6, can't wait! GOG!! looks like Vegas about to down the Jets but on a high note TB beat the leafs!! With only Leafs and oilers left, I dont honestly see why saturday's sched cant be the usual 5 and 8pm starts since there's obv room to schedule it that way? I dont see why we have to play at 2pm just because the jets are out?? Regardless, Although I know we traditionally suck in afternoon games, i thought our recent record in early games has been pretty decent? or am I imagining that? Bottom line, its same for the enemy as well so whatever time it is we just need to take care of business! The 2pm option really sucks for me though, cos thats 6am local here, so I'll probably just be waking up to the start of the 3rd and I'm not sure i want to be subjecting my sleepy brain and body to the drama of a 3rd period game 6 elimination playoff. I'll probably keep all communication devices off till 9am and hope to f im not jumping into the start of OT!

If I couldn't watch the game the best consolation prize I could think of would be to catch a live Blues show. Even though you'll be working it you might hear it and catch some of the show. We used to catch live Blues shows in a small town in NB called Sackville. The Roadhouse bar had Blues playing there once a month because of the university blues circuit that came down from the States and into Quebec. Long story short, we saw a lot of great shows. Make the best of it!

Dennis Jones is a friend of mine, and any time they come up to play a show in Canada is a special occasion that I cant miss!

Had you heard about the Blues shows at the Roadhouse bar? They were going on for at least 15 years and maybe longer, at least I caught the last 15 years. I really miss that place, we rocked the Roadhouse many times.
