on the other hand, it would be nice if the oilers' opponent in the next round (how's that for positive thinking

) wasn't the most rested opponent in the next round.

I have always cheered for the Oilers and whoever plays against the Flames, and that stance has never ceased. I don't give two fucks if there's a Battle of Alberta or not.

Oilers getting hammered by tonight.

The important thing is if they can bounce back from this fiasco on Thursday.

Black Star · #**485** Posted **Apr 19, 2017, 5:36 AM**

Ok forget that game.

Focus on beating the living shit out of the Sharks Thursday!

Coldrsx · #**486** Posted **Apr 19, 2017, 6:05 AM**

I expected them to come out strong, but we were one of the most embarassing things in a while.

Rocket252 · #**487** Posted **Apr 19, 2017, 1:33 PM**

Time for McDavid to make his mark. Thursday's game is a must win.

that was brutal...

I remind myself that if Klefbom's shot goes in rather than hitting the post and Nuge buries his chance into the empty net, its 2-2 in the first....

Credit to the Sharks, they pumped us.

McBoo · #**490** Posted **Apr 19, 2017, 4:02 PM**

From the get-go figured this would be a six or seven game series.

Actually prefer we lose this way than in a heart-breaker - should seriously focus the Oilers' minds for Game Five ...

Rocket252 · #**491** Posted **Apr 19, 2017, 4:08 PM**

^ Curious what was said in the dressing room between periods and after the game. Maybe the Veterens and McDavid stood up to say a few words

SHOFEAR · #**492** Posted **Apr 19, 2017, 4:39 PM**

Oilers went from hitting everything that moved in the first two to looking like a bunch of pussies who didn't even want to send a message yesterday. very disappointing.

I hope that getting the shit kicked out of them provides more lessons than a close loss.....which I think it does.

Pretty sure Milan et al had words to say.

That said, like how McLellan has used situations like this in a positive way - to reinforce his message that "You're better than this, pay attention, work hard and you can win."

Was enjoying it right up to the second I remembered LA did exactly the same to an Oilers bunch that got a mite too arrogant for its (and our) own good!

Miracle on Manchester anyone?

I was thinking the same thing lol, it was ugly but the series is tied at 2 coming back to Rogers Place. It's down to a best of three, tomorrow is the game that decides the winner imo.

Game 5 is quite often the swing game...

CanadianCentaur · #**498** Posted **Apr 19, 2017, 7:36 PM**

Good God! WTF Oilers?!

As I was sitting in Urban Tavern last night, I swear I heard an Oilers fan try to chant "bring on six!" as the Oilers were down 5-0 at the time. He only chanted it twice before being told by one of the staff to shut up or something.

Maybe. I can see Edmonton wining game five and still losing the series, but if San Jose wins it I think it is done.

That first period is going to be huge.

Edmonton has their work cut out for them. Most of us figured six of seven games and here we are.

Coldrsx · #**500** Posted **Apr 19, 2017, 7:55 PM**

Tomorrow will be telling.
