  1. Greasy Oilers, baby. When this team gets to the net, all they do is win, simple as that (Yeah, game one was the anomoly). Time to grind their way right back into this thing

  2. Stay confident and prove to your self and the team that they have the dkill and perseverance to get two wins at home! Gritty goals, shoot high or on the blocker side and dont let the Panthers stay in your heads!!!

  3. Change the lines. Draisaitl on 1. RNH with Henrique on 2. You need goals and can't afford to lose. Your lines are generating nothing. It is do or die time. Also, move Broberg to second pairing and since you seem to insist on playing Nurse who is -15 and one goal from tying the all time worst plus minus record for 1 playoff run, move him to the third pairing and limit his ice time. You are welcome.

  4. They need to take more shots at the goal, get in the eyes of the goalkeeper, and put more pucks into the blue area in front of the goali as well as out more forwards. We can win this but game 2 we got played by the Florida.

    Florida has two people in front of the Skinner and one slow skating towards the goal. They have pull this multiple time and it works for them. Our defenders need to keep there stick on the ice.

    We can do this Oilers

  5. Play faster huh? Well sorry, Perry’s lack of footspeed at this point cannot help us do that. Play Ryan at least he’s defensively responsible & would have some jump having not played a few games!

  6. I feel like every answer to every hockey question to anyone every is the exact same lmao. "play our game" "move the puck out of our zone" "get pucks to the net" "play fast"

  7. Panthers attack and defend as 5 player team. Their spacing between forwards and defense is immaculate. Oilers have to disrupt that spacing. The answer is Scotty Bowman's left wing lock.

  8. I’ve always found that when the Oilers have puck possession in the opponent’s zone, the crowd collectively yelling “Shooooot”, creates a lot of noise.

  9. The problem for Edmonton is that their goaltender is inferior. Skinner is the weak link and the primary reason they will be out very soon.

  10. If you really want to exploit this first game at home then you have to consider Gagner as an option. Hockey smarts aside, he is one of Edmonton’s sons and will add an intangible that you can’t find in any of Edmonton’s reserves.

  11. Boys! Cats are just too deep & discipline! If Oilers try to avoid Barkov you forget he is as good offensively as he is defensively. If Barkov does match McDavid, Oilers do not have enough to match either one of the 2nd or 3rd lines. If they stack McDavid & Draisaitl again it just makes it easier for the Panthers. Cats were this Oilers team 4 years ago. The style of play does not work. FL also played that style of hockey better as well. minus the McDavid effect. McDavid is clearly the most talented player in the series. Barkov is the most complete player in the series, probably the league, that has instilled that mentality into the rest of the team. Players like Lundell, Listorionian follow his lead to a T!. I still credit Jagar for Barkov's work ethic. Those years in Fl had a huge influence to a young Barky & not many people mention it.

    Draisaitl's hit was dirty, clearly he is frustrated, watch the replay in slowmo. He lifts the elbow & leaves his feet. He's not a dirty player though & the series would be ridiculed if he was left out. That being said nobody wants him out of the series unless Barkov did have a concussion and couldn't play. Panthers want no excuses. They just limited Kucherov, Pasta, Panarian. Beat Vasey, a red hot Swayman, and a red hot Igor. If it wasnt for Igor Cats would have swept NYR.

    But hey, your Oilers also beat a very deep Dallas team in a game they had no right winning with the X-factor that is McDavid. Should be a a couple more great games. Cheers boys!

    Oilers could not have played a better game one on the road, and Panthers flexed that depth even more with Bob. That was the first game of the playoffs Bob has really been called on. Look at the Boston & New York series, Panthers limited their shots just like they are to Oilers. To the Best players just like they have so far to Edmonton. People saying the Oilers stars need to show up is crazy. The Oilers speed is evident. What's more evident is the Panthers team game! People blaming the refs, Bob losing his mask, is a joke. Oilers just don't play the game that can beat this FL team in a series, even with the best player in the world. I don't see them changing that anytime soon. The best chance they have is FL taking penalties and start producing on the PP.

    5-5 they have no chance! McDavid can probably win the Oilers 1-2 games himself, but no way he can salvage this series!
