Le Habitants have been dealing with injuries to key players and since been fallin’ down the standings but the Oilers can’t go into this one thinking they’ll be handed a victory. Gotta carry that effort from Boston and Toronto into tonight.

Are you telling the Must Win Czar how to handle his business? Outrageous.

Let's face it, in December he was really failing at his job. Since I intervened, the team is 2-0. I see strong evidence of causality here.

I thought it was just for the TO nemesis... hmm. You know who’s back in the lineup tonight? Samwise. That coupled with being in the land of French Canadiana makes this an absolutely important GAGNER!
DOIT GAGNER!

They need to find a way to win. If they play anything close to how they played in Toronto they should win because Montreal doesn't have the fire power like TO does to keep it close.
I don't care how, just win!!!

I can already hear Kevin Quinn announcing Kovalchuk's first goal as a Canadien tonight.

Dude is 32 and has been to the playoffs twice. And one of those was him being parachuted into a contender at the deadline. You don't win with Petry, therefore huge loser.

Milan Lucic. Huge winner. Glue guy. Good character. A total must have. I wish the Oilers had a Lucic-type player.

Better to have had it and lost it then to have never had it at all.

JayBo didn't even get a series win until he was 33. Didn't make the playoffs one time until he was 30. Must have cheated and drank some tiger blood last season to win a cup playing 25 mins a night.

So Let's say the Oilers continue to be run like a beer league hockey team, and McDavid never has a better lineup than this one around him, but out of sense of duty doesn't demand a trade to a different city until he hits UFA in 6 more seasons. The Oilers make the playoffs two or three more times in that period but never get out of the first round.
Do you then consider McDavid to be a loser who we're better off without? I mean, he won't have won then - despite being the best in the game!
