Rocksteady wrote on Mon, 24 June 2024 10:05 | I come here to bask in the unique and often correct analysis in Oilers fandom. I came here in 2006 to voice the ache in my heart after losing Game 7 and the exasperation of the max exodus and the decade of darkness. Through it all MJ has kept Oilfans here.
Thank you MJ.
Now we turn our attention over to tonight and I am so freaking nervous I could make diamonds.
Oh my god, this team the joyous returns they have given their fans and this city.
May they all lay it on the line tonight, and take it all home.
It's time to come home Stanley.

My arse cheeks are clenched so tight I just turned a quarter into 5 nickles.

Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!
A few interesting things here:
- Connor McDavid was drafted on June 26, 2015 at this very arena in Sunrise.
- On June 24th, this day 31 years ago, at the expansion draft to kickoff the Panthers franchise, they claimed Scott Mellanby from the Oilers. He of course kicked off the whole rat trick thing, and was arguably that team's first star forward.
As the Panthers can tell you, the fourth is the toughest to win. Suddenly the Oilers aren't the only team with their backs against the wall, so I expect a battle tonight. But Bob is shaken and still having nightmares about last year and the last three games. If we can get to him early again, he might collapse entirely.
Let's ****ing go!!!! Bring that Cup back to Alberta, Baby!!!!

We have been through a hell of a year. Been awesome! The start to the season and being 0-3 in the cup. Even down 3-2 to canucks. Lots of stress. And yet here we are!

I'd love to see a big game from Nuge. He's been alright this playoffs. He's been decent offensively. Decent defensively. Good on the PK. So Nuge being Nuge.
It was 13 yrs ago today when he got drafted. This is what he's wanted. Probably took longer than he hoped. But here is it, the cup is there for the taking. If ever there was a game to go all out, give it everything you got and have himself A GAME, tonight is the night.

Sounds like he’s sick tonight. Hopefully so DayQuil and something special from
The doc and maybe a Fuhrsie bump will get him right as rain.

I know we won't see until the anthems, but NHL network down here seems to be indicating we might be close to 50/50 fan split.
