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!
Didn't Morrison get traded to the Senators?

MacTavish has no choice but to stick with Markkenen. But I see him playing better in front of the home crowd for Game 3.

Mark my words though, if the Oilers lose Game 3 like they did Game 2, this series will be over in 4.

Yes, he did. 😞 Geez, I need to get with the program. I'm only two months behind.

They've got to win both games in Edmonton or they're toast.

True, true.

After all, I AM RHP Fantasy Hockey Champ, now ain't I? Beat some crazy Canadian for the title, too. 😉

Come on now...toss in towel just cause they're down 2-0?? Same thing happened with San Jose but they won that series.

Look for Edmonton to win game 3 but lose game 4 in overtime on a B.S Brind'amour tap in.

I'm not counting Edmonton out... yet.

BUT, you must agree that IF they lose game 3 in the same fashion they lost game 2, they are dead in the water, no?

Well, perhaps not. Considering that out of all the sports that use series' in their playoff system, when a team was down 0-3, a team has only come back to win the next 4 games 3 times. 2 of them being NHL teams.

I think Cam Ward and that Cane D has too much confidence to allow the Oil back into this. Oil wins Game 3, Canes, Games 4 and 5.

Edmonton vs. Carolina?

Either Dwayne Roloson or Cam Ward's name etched on the Silver Chalice?

I love it! The Conference Finals were great, every game full of action from end to end. I'm pulling for Edmonton. I've always had a soft spot for the Oilers. Carolina could have an edge opening the series, after having dispatched Buffalo, and with no layoff t ...[text shortened]... y have a slight advantage at first with plenty of confidence. Should be a tremendous matchup.

2-1 Oil.

It's a series again. They still need to find more goal scoring or the story will end badly for them. Great effort tonight though.

Yes, fantastic game tonight. Not to much scoring like you said, but very aggressive play by the Oil, great fan support added to the game as well. Fun game to watch. Hope it's that good the rest of the series.

Oil to take Game 4, I think. I'm sure they're not feeling any less desperate after the win.

Whoever wins tonight will win the Cup...my bets are on Carolina in OT tonight but IF edmonton win tonight, they win in 6 at home.

Wanna talk about BS, that Smyth goal was pure BS. It's one thing to let guys in the crease, but in the net?!
