My take

Goaltending - LA overall, but when Skinner is on, we WIN.
D - LA, but Edmonton has bomb and that comes out in times like this.
F - Edmonton for overall firepower, but LA is deeper

It's going to be a gooder and WILL depend on secondary scoring to get through, but I do believe that 29 and 97 know THIS is one of their key opportunities to show what they have got.

Game 1 - LA with a big win
2 - Edmonton with a sneaker
3 - Edmonton with a big win
4 - LA in OT
5 - Edmonton with a defining game
6 - Edmonton in OT

Edmonton in 6

Can't argue with that logic.......

So NO Rogers Place viewing Party on Monday - April 21st for this? I wonder what would bring in more revenue? Concert sold out? Lower bowl only?

This is mind blowing shit, they're giving the Oil the "Top 5" odds to bow out early? Except for apparently this Lazerus dude......

In what universe is LA's forward group deeper? Kane and Frederic are playing, that was never in doubt. Our third line could have more skill than their second line.

Oilers sign Emberson to a two-year $1.3 M AAV deal.

PLAY LA BAMBA BABY! LET"S GO OILERS!

 

[The_Cat]

Wake up, Oilers!

 

[BrettB]

Imagine if they had also played the first half of the game! A lot of positives to take away from the game tonight, though the loss stings.

 

[The_Cat]

Almost the Miracle on I-110! This series will be a hell of a fight!

 

[Barnaby]

Very bad goaltending, questionable calls.

Hopefully the Oilers actual starting goaltender is in net on Wednesday.

 

[northlands]

This team is missing Ekholm badly. And a goalie who can post a >.910. And wingers who can actually piss a drop.

Hopeful for a deep run but I can't say this currently looks like a team that is in any way, shape or form a cup contender.

I think LA looks rather pedestrian - not as good as last year even. Bouch and sometimes Skinner let them have the game last night. I am wholeheartedly convinced we are the same if not better than last year. Fret not everyone, don't ever bet on RED! I mean, don't ever discount McDrai....
