Compete Level

I think they gotta start Pickard for g5?

Probably Klingberg back in if Stetcher was benched

That was a terrible play by Stetcher but seemed kinda nuts to run 5 D for the rest of the game and not even waver in OT

I promised user practice not to text him during games because of the time zones but after that 3-0 first period I almost pout-texted him to say DONT EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME but good lord

OH MY GOD

I don't imagine Edmonton tries that again (penalty BS) - my guess is way more disciplined/focused effort

florida will play the same way they always do

on one hand it was stupid for Edmonton to goon it up in g3 but on the other hand I have a lotta time for Trent Frederic trying to break Sam Bennett's spine

pretty much need game of the year effort tonight but pretty much expecting 4-0 Florida

I agree with Stetcher in for Colonel Klingberg and sure why not J Skinner in for Arvidsson

could make a case for playing Captain Pickard over Stu but I get it

if you ask me it would be a huge Triumph for the oilers to win game 2 tonight

"is Rik Emmett the Raise a Little Hell guy?"

no

"is Rik Emmett the Go for a Soda guy?"

no

"is Rik Emmett the Tom Sawyer guy?"

no

if you thought Shania Twain was a big time free concert outside the rink during the finals last year wait until you kids check out Rik Emmett's solo albums

'hey dad are those the Raise a Little Hell guys?'

no

'are those the Go for a Soda guys?"

no

'are those the Tom Sawyer guys?"

no

imagine the excitement a 19 year old kid must feel right now

all fired up with your pals to go party in the square with thousands of people and as if it could get any better but then you find out Mississauga's own TRIUMPH will be playing just before puck drop

now 20 minutes to puck drop

the crowd must be putty in Rik Emmett's hands

my office is next door to the rink so I was walking around this AM, in addition to all the obvious Oiler excitement I saw 3-4 old dudes wearing Bob Seger and Loverboy t-shirts waiting outside a tour bus, presumably hoping to get a chance at meeting Triumph

have it on good authority that Triumph is playing the fan park before the game

what a get by the Oilers

alright game day, bring on fucking florida

so captain's gf's introduction to Edmonton will be going to a SCF game depending on her personality she will be either A) immediately house hunting for a place to live here or B) never coming back in her life, not for a billion dollars also let's hang, we can show her a more civilized time is possib...

panthers are so fucking mean and good but I kinda feel like Edmonton has it this year

other than Hyman they are healthy and feels like McDavid is gonna be hard to deny two years in a row

crazy Edmonton has to wait until the cup finals to finally get home ice advantage in a series

I don't have any time for the Dallas franchise
