Sigh...and only one (potentially 2) of them on a Fri or Sat when I could sleep in the next day.
Gotta love being an Oilers fan living in Atlantic Canada, right Mike?

I don't understand why the season didn't end on Tuesday so they could start everyone on the weekend to make it easier for people to, you know, watch the games. Doesn't seem like the league cares about that part of their marketing machine.

This could be the toughest series against LA we have played. I fully expect to win but won't be a cake walk like last year. I'm thinking this goes 6 or 7 games

Pretty bummed we lost Ekholm to start the playoffs
McDrai and Skinner. Leave this to you fellows. We should still be able to beat the Kings if we get solid performances from key guys. The real hard stuff comes after the Kings.

On the Kings hfboards there is a lot of talk about targeting the known injuries on the Oilers players. I get that you want to play hard and finish checks, but I hate all the intent to injure talk that so many fans have, that seems to be pretty common now days. Makes me feel more justified for having never actually signed up there and left Oilfans as the only fan forum I post on.

I’m sure they also considered Nurse’s grazing stick across the back of Byfield’s helmet as attempted murder

Oh yeah, according to them someone should knock Nurse out of the league. In their eyes even McDavid is a dirty player. Not sure how the same people complain that these players are dirty and therefore should be injured. Doesn't that just make the Kings dirty players at that point?

I actually saw the replay of the Nurse "attempted murder" of Byfield for the 1st time during another game recently (turned the LA game off after the 1st) .. from what I had read I expected it to be a lot worse.. looked to me like Byfield really sold it.. you could tell the contact didn't have a lot of force.. there was an unnatural time delay from the contact, to Byfield grabbing his head and "writhing in pain" ..
For comparison, there was a cross check to the neck of J. Skinner by Tucker off a face-off during the St, Louis game that was deliberate and not in the heat of the moment.. that I thought was far worse than Nurse's and the guy didn't even get a phone call from the league.
McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!! (Thank you Lord!)

Tons of disrespect for the Oilers to feed on. All the TSN and NHL Network talking heads have the Kings winning easy. Ignoring#3 and #5 on the all time Playoff PPG chart are suiting up for the Oilers.

That’s assuming the refs give us power plays. We’ll have to see how much “game management” goings ons.

Just a warm up of what we would expect in round 2
