  1. Aw hell nah we're very cooked, I'll say 20-3 LA, but prioritize healthy McDavid, Draisaitl, and Ekholm though, it is what it is

    Edit: please have subtitles for all videos my gen z brain only works when there's audio and subtitles together sorry

  2. Trent Frederic has me anxious. On the one hand, he seems confident and has great numbers, but, you never know if he’ll fit well in the lineup. That, and there is a chance his potential has been damaged as a result of his injury. Still, I am confident in this team’s ability to square up to their opponents this short- handed, and I think everybody knows what’s at stake. Pickard is showing a lot of heart and poise in his game; he might actually be the guy! Let’s go Oilers!

  3. No Leon and McD? The Oilers are about the same as the Sharks, who are at the bottom of the standings. 😜And the Sharks played an AHL goalie last game against the Oilers .πŸ˜‡
    LA should beat Oilers at home. ( may be in OT )πŸ˜‚ Hope II' m wrong

  4. It either ends in a tight 2-1 win in regulation, or an absolute stinker at 4-1, similar prediction for the Vegas game. LA is the best home in the league by far so a win without our top players would show the league that the Oilers aren't to be underestimated. PTW: Nuge, Fred (if he plays), and Nurse. Nuge was our best player when McDrai was out and I think he'll take up that spot again. If Fred plays I will expect a very physical game, and maybe a brawl. Nurse has been very good defensively lately, probably will be the #1 defenseman again. Honorable mention to Bouch who has been producing very good lately, kudos to him. Hopefully Picks can weather the storm in LA, the game might be fully dependent on him to win it. Optimistic score prediction: Oilers 3-2 in regulation. Realistic score prediction: LA 4-2. Going to be a hard fought win and I'll be throughly impressed if we manage to win it in their barn.

  5. With all our best players out, we absolutely cannot win this one whatsoever, and all the bookies know it, and because hockey makes no sense, we will win.

  6. Ekholm can pair with Stecher on 3rd pair when he comes back. Give the guy a break. Nurse and Kulak have been quiet good, while Walman Bouchard should be the top line going forward.

  7. The discrepancy between the Home and Away records by LA leads me to believe that β€œlast change β€œ seems to overwhelmingly benefit them at home. How else would you be able to explain the wide gap between their records? It’s the same lineup, same goaltending. That is the only factor I can think of. The line match-up via having the last change.
    Hope the Oilers keep it close or at least squeak out a point.

  8. Hope I'm wrong but I think the boys will get a SHELLACKING TodayπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ,BUT GO OILERS GO πŸ‘πŸ’πŸ‘πŸ’πŸ‘πŸ’

  9. It'll be an epic series as long as Edmonton gets their boys back on the ice. Rooting for my Kings but enjoy the rivalry. The legacy of both teams has brought more to the sport over the last several decades than any other in my opinion. See you guys in the playoffs! πŸ™‚
