Game 2 tonight.

Who wants to bet the Oilers stage a huge victory tonight?

Yep, the Oilers will be in fully battened down mode, and Markenen will be focused enough to play one of his best games.

I just don't see Markenen or Conklin being able to pull off a series victory though.

Don't count Jussi out! Ty's chances are basically shot as, no doubt, his confidence is probably at an all-time low right now. But Jussi may shock some...

Either way, I'm sure it'll be another doozy tonight.

No, Markenen will be pullling splinters out of his ass while Conklin starts Game 3 if he takes a 4-1 beatdown tonight.

That could very well happen! But if MacTavish starts yo-yoing goalies this late in the play-offs, he will lose his job.

Very true. I expect Markenen will play the games, unless he's totally horrible.

Why wasn't Jussi dressed for Game 1, I wonder? Technically, he is Roloson's number 1 back-up... or so I thought 😕

That's a good question and I don't know the answer. I was under the same impression.

Hey, you called it pretty well.

Frickin' crystal ball genius.

MacTavish has to stick with Markkenen, doesn't he? He's got two mentally scarred goalies now.

Call for Mike Morrison!
