Last time the Oilers had a week off, they pooped the bed while trying to tie a record against Vegas. Lets not do that again.

It's going to be funny when the Rag sweep the Hurricanes and then take a 10 day Mexico vacation waiting for the Panther and Bruins to grind out a 7 game series.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

And the nerves are setting, but I did notice a cosmic sign this week from the New York Times. Yesterday's Wordl answer was 'MUSTY".

I had to try to explain to my family why I laughed and exclaimed "AWESOME!" while staring at my phone playing wordle. If "pants" or "launch" come up in the next few days we will know the universe is on our side.
(I know launch is 6 letters but I couldn't think of another 5 letter word that worked

As an Oilers fans, I am of course bias but trying to look objectively, I feel like a lot more things have to go right for the Canucks to win vs the Oilers.
- While you always need good goaltending, the Oilers didn't win because of Skinner. They just needed Skinner to decent and not lose them games. Where as the Canucks. They were a goal post away from being down in the series and probably should have lost as they relied heavily on their goalie. There were large stretches where Nashville looked to be the better team. When your best center is O'Reily. I like him a lot but he's not an elite scorer like McD or Leon. So I think the Canucks need their goalies to be really good to have a chance.
- Special teams. The Oilers have the best PP in a very long time. The Kings had the second best PK in the NHL and the Oilers shredded it. Where as the Canucks was middle of the pack like the Oilers. So the Canucks need to shut the Oilers PP down to have a chance to win.
- Top 6. The Oilers have a superior top 6. Miller and Petterson are very good centers but not as good as McD and Leon. Then you look at the Oilers wingers and even without Henrique, the Oilers top 6 wingers are better. So the Canucks need the Oilers big guns to go quiet to win.
- Defensively. Since Knoblaugh took over, the Oilers are a very good defensive team. So the Canucks need the Oilers to abandon their defensive structure and be sloppy with the puck.
So in my opinion, the Canucks need a lot of things to go their way to win and the Oilers to play poorly. If the Oilers play reasonably well and Skinner isn't a reason they lose, the should beat the Canucks.

I am expecting Brown to come out like he is shot out of a cannon. We was brought in to bring depth to the Oilers with the expectation he would be at his best in the second half and playoffs. If he wants to prove he is worth another contract from who ever, now is the time to show it.
If he's not flying around, then something is wrong with that guy.

X-factor: 3rd line of McLeod, Holloway and Perry. These guys have an opportunity to dominate the Nucks bottom 6 players. I would like to see that happen. 
...this time, it's for real (isn't it?).

I'm not holding my breath. When he couldn't piss a drop offensively for an eternity, he couldn't find it in himself to lay a huge hit. Couldn't glove wash someone. Picking a scrap was unfathomable. You will likely learn that, "there is something wrong with that guy." Gagner would have found ways to contribute if he wasn't pissing a drop. Not ole Brownie though..
All I can expect from him is he doesn't make any dumb mistakes. That is it.

What value do you think spewing that much negativity towards a player brings?
He definitely didn't have a good year what so ever. Grossly underperformed. But he's in tonight so it helps the team if he plays well which if you are a fan of the team, which I am questioning now, you would want him to do well.

Your first 3 words were, “I am expecting.”
If I started my reply with the same 3 words would it make it okay? Because my expectations of how Brown will enter the playoffs doesn’t align with yours makes you question my loyalty to the Oilers?
I disagreed with you. I truly hope you are right. Don’t be butt hurt please.

In an effort to keep things even keeled, hows about we settle on a “Go Must!” Be it pants launched with force akin to RD’s musty expectation of Connor Brown, or simply players who have been idle for 7+ days coming out and playing a smart, disciplined musty road game?

Speaking of old ladies throwing millions of dollars away. She would have been a good Oilers GM.

No name??! Cleeeearly you’re blind to the… *checks notes* world championship bronze medal game where he backstopped Latvia to a win over the USA! (Just ignore the fact the USA had … Alex Tuch, Connor garland and a bunch of tweeners)
