Edmonton at home

[Dr. Peebody]

so they were able to take out detroit today, and played them very tightly in that first game...

so now there heading home feeling real good and believing in their new system,

whaddya you guys think about them winning either game 3 or 4 at home??? pretty good shot, imo.

will they still be +$$ at home?

[Angelus]

The Oilers are better on the road than at home. But with that crowd...I don't know...I think they can get at least a split...

Oilers :yeah:

A win and an OT loss in Detroit....not bad, not bad at all. :yeah: :yeah:

DET needs to get rid of their veterans. The same thing happened in their Calgary series 2 years ago. They have too many guys that are veterans that have won cups before or are unwilling to put in the work at their age. They just aren't willing to pay the price anymore. I thought for sure after losing to Calgary 2 years ago that they would be motivated to play up to their abilities.....boyo was i wrong....I really think they are toast. Talent means nothing unless you are willing to pay the price on the ice, and EDM has been the team that has paid the price so far.......EDM deserves to win this series......DET needs to take their core younger guys and keep maybe a lidstrom.....then build around that......Shanny needs to go, Chelios needs to go, Yzerman needs to retire, Holmstrom seems to work at least harder than the other guys....Schneider needs to go.....maltby can probably stay....Lang needs to go.....they need a new energy on that team.....they can keep winning all the president's trophys they want with this group, but it isn't a playoff team capable of winning anymore......

Trailing 2-1, the Oilers did some aggressive forechecking while Detroit seemed casual with the puck. That led to the tying and go-ahead goals that made it 3-2 with 1:14 left in the second period.



EDM is better on the road as Angelus said....especially on special teams......congrats to your team Angelus.....hope they win this series for you....:thumbs:

I will say that Edmonton and Detroit split and Detroit will win in game 5 and have a 3-2 lead and from there it will be Detroit in 6 or 7.

Just my thoughts!

Might actually be 2-1 Edmonton but either way I think a split whiching venues.
