JR Ewing Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Between this being the Oilers 5th game in 7 days and the Wild being such a damned good team, this is smelling like a convincing Minnesota win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClusterChuck Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 In the next 5 games we have 3 teams in similar standings as us and then Ottawa. I'd say 7 points or at least 6 in those 5 games are a must. Tough to even guess which group will show up tonight. I'll hope for a Wild Win 5-3.

lynxrattle Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I'm expecting the team to start like they started against FLA. Very fast, aggressive, fighting for the puck. If they do that, the Oilers don't have the toughness needed, and no Bobrovsky in goal. 5 - 3 Wild win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icechipper Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Oilers feed. Announcers gave first goal to Bjugstad and misidentified DeWar as Duhaime. They are impressed by the team, though. The assistant Zamboni driver has been named interim coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
