I do not squelch on bets. This was a work bet. I lost. Ultimate shame.

Might as well keep it on for the next two rounds

Hah, looking good Jeff.

Dallas is similar to the Knights in that they can run 4 lines really well. They are DEEP and have no glaring holes in their game.

Oilers have had a hard time running 4 lines. They finally got some production in games 6 and 7 against the Canucks but... if Dallas can limit the damage Draisitl and McDavid do, their 3rd and 4th lines are significantly better than the Oilers.

For all intents and purposes Dallas pretty much completely shut down Colorado and Colorado is deeper than the Oilers are.

I think Edmonton's only hope of winning this series is either Skinner suddenly becoming the second coming of Hasek or Oettinger having a complete meltdown out of nowhere.

Looks good on you.

Edmonton Oilers currently have 23 Canadian born players roughly, for anyone that cares. Highest amount of the remaining teams. I've never paid attention or been concerned with the nationality of the cup champions personally.

I like the color orange for sure... but I'm a Canucks fan through and through. Lol

In the East I like the Senators.

Ooof. Rags with the own goal to seal their fate in game 1.

Game 1 goes to the good guys

Rangers literally scored more goals on themselves than they did on Florida

Florida is looking good.

I'll take it. Still always hilarious how NHL coaches are in a constant game of musical chairs. If you get fired, don't worry. Hang out until next season and you'll have a new job.

Let's go Oilers!

Late tying goal by the Stars!

Oilers going to have yet another game they blow a multigoal lead. It's like the Canucks series all over again only Dallas is a better team and they can't afford to give that shit away.

I'm pulling for the Stars/Panthers final

AW Sunnabitch, now I gotta watch OT and do a pick'em on the NHL Board.

Bouchard
Seguin

My OT picks

4 minute double minor against McDavid.

Killed it off

Couple posts during that too for Dallas.

Skinner still making big saves.....

I barely know him. Hah always think of Jeff Skinner.

Oettinger win a game winning save. Dallas wont be denied this game.

Sure was I walking back into my room thought I could take a quick leak and miss nothing.

It's only midnight here for a second overtime. But I am diggity down for it. 2014/2004 would be better. But hey how it be.

Cognitive functions can go down. I just got sucked into OT because I love the sport so much, I am watching it on a crappy CBC feed though I really am not rooting for either team.

I can watch it on TNT or w/e but I like the feel of CBC.

Well that was quick. Oilers hang on.

I left for 2 minutes. Well. That was fast. I am sure the CBC crew is like thank goodness, it is over.

Oilers with the win!!!

I like, Skinner's straight to bed comment. It is just game 1 too.

Interesting. I wonder who they have in mind that those 2 spots meant that much?

They basically sold a second-round pick to acquire a higher first and a higher second.

They still have their own first (2nd) and their own second (34th).

They're 100% gonna make another draft-day trade to move up even more.

E: Also if you're the Islanders you have no reason to turn this down, especially without a third-round pick. The team is aging and they have shit fuck all for prospects.

OT in MSG

Verhaege
Kreider

Rags with the win in OT!

Oilers dominating the first but it is tied 1-1

An amazing first period by the Oilers could not continue as the Stars depth showed in P2 and 3, and they take game 2 3-1. Oilers and Panthers both took home ice advantage in what are now Best of 5 series'

An afternoon Sunday game, praise be the lord

Let's go Battle Cats!

2-2 so far in the middle of the second.

As a Jackets fan, this ECF is particularly painful. Bobrovsky, Panarin, Roslovic, Wennberg are all former CBJ

4-4!!!

They just cut away from a 4-4 game to give my a weather update. FUCK

Well, that's not good. The Panthers splitting the first two on the road was fine, but losing this one at home makes this series a lot more iffy.

5-4 Rags win in OT!!!

Early 2-0 lead for the Oilers! GO OIL GO!
