Oilers in 7. Wanna bet a set of Tridents on it?


a man can dream. Dallas is so fucking good

I wouldn't want to be any other team vs Dallas in a game 7 situation right now

Oiler fans...

Pro Tip!

Great game last night. Do not be shocked if the series comes back to Dallas with Dallas leading 3-1.

Oilers steal game 1 at dallas...
Stars get game 2. This has been closer in scoring than I would have imagined.

That's what I've always thought was cool about Hockey...any team can beat another in any given night

So Bylsma is back behind the bench again. Kraken named him their new head coach.

53-year-old will lead 1st NHL team since Sabres in 2016-17

It's been tough trying to become a fan of Kraken.
1. Didn't like the name.
2. The s logo isn't great, was hoping for an old school badge logo like the original teams. At least the colors are good.
3. I believe Tortorella didn't have a job at the time of their inaugural season, so I was hoping he'd be our coach, because he's hilarious.
4. Expansion draft rules changed so we didn't get to be a powerhouse like LV.
5. Dish network and the local channel that broadcasts all their games didn't reach an agreement, so I've only seen a handful of their games.
6. Now this uninspiring hire lol.
This whole time I've just been following the Rangers like when we used to not have a team

Wow...While cleaning out my Workshop and moving some Cars around, I came across my Dallas Stars 1999 Champions and Cowboys Super Bowl XXVII Coca Cola bottles...

 

[AdamMaz]

That's a suspiciously good omen

Could be worth something if they win it all again this year.

...Or it could mean the Stars get a 3 goal lead and will blow it in OT.

Back when I played Hockey, it was surprising how many guys were superstitious. I wasn't and wore the number 13 on my jersey to get under people's skin

I've got a 13 tattoo, does that count for anything?

Maybe...why did you get it?

 

[M3CHK1LLA]

ok...so the Stars only blew a 2-0 lead

I watched a chunk of the 1st, was quite the period last night. Didn't keep up after it hit intermission, I've been having trouble staying focused on anything of late, especially a full game.

 

[Crash Dandicoot]

@M3CHK1LLA a bit off-topic, I forgot you had a Supra (and an FD?)! I'm finally gearing up to get mine road-worthy by next season. Rebuilding rear quarters is not my forte...

It's been a great series so far, though for his salary Darnell Nurse should've been clenching pucks with his ass rather than rebounding them off it past Skinner
Regardless, I'm turbo excited to see how the remaining games go. Here's hoping we get another 7 game series.

Also, took a stroll down memory lane and noticed this:



EDM fucked up so bad. Dallas's drafting over the last couple years should be fucking studied.

*snip

Yes, a MkIV Supra and actually 2 FD's...not sure why

what car were you working on again?

 

[Crash Dandicoot]

@M3CHK1LLA 'cause FD's are cool

I'm also working on a Supra, '94 RZ. It's a family curse. Old photo, but the LHD (also a '94 RZ, grey one with the TRD widebody) is done and makes approx. 1100whp, detuned because Eagle rods are not to be trusted. Blue RHD one is 550whp, needs bodywork and that's it. These cars were (relatively) cheap in Canada, at one point!

I'd say almost 20 teams f'ed up bad there (Wyatt Johnston).

 

[M3CHK1LLA]

There is a NHL statistic that the Team that wins Game 5 takes the Series over 80% of the time.

I'm hoping that Dallas pulls it off, but they have looked bad in the last 2 losses.
