KTown Oiler

The Hockey Gods are shittin all over the Oilers right now

Tough but good Win for Oilers. Best game defensively. Stars were stars. 1 down, 2 to go.

Oilers have 6 sog since the first. Not a recipe for winning

Draisaitl ties Gretzky for most power play goals in Oilers history with his 23rd.

The @EdmontonOilers warm-up: RNH-McDavid-Hyman Podkolzin-Draisaitl-Kapanen Savoie-Dickinson-Roslovic Dach-Samanski-Lazar Nurse-Bouchard Walman-Murphy Ekholm-Emberson Ingram

Refs screwing Oilers for Anaheim is basically a Playoff tradition now.

@DoctorLemma massive food donations came from all over to feed everybody, and Gander didn't have cold storage warehouses to store it. So they converted the local hockey arena into a makeshift refrigerator. Canadian as it gets, my American friends.

Just found out that on 9/11, when the United States shut its airspace, 38 planes got diverted to a tiny town in Atlantic Canada called Gander, Newfoundland. The town’s population at the time was around 10,000 people. Overnight, 6,700 strangers arrived. The population nearly doubled in a few hours. Apparently the town just opened up. Schools, churches, and community halls were turned into sleeping areas. Bus drivers who had been on strike came off the picket lines to shuttle passengers. Pharmacies filled prescriptions for free. The ice rink at the community centre became a giant fridge because there was so much donated food. People invited strangers into their homes for showers, meals, and a bed. The passengers were only there for four days. Twenty-five years later, many of them are still in touch with their Newfoundland hosts. One flight raised money for a scholarship fund for kids in Gander. It started at 15,000 US dollars and has since paid out over a million dollars to local students. A musical was made about it called Come From Away. It ran on Broadway for five years. When a reporter asked one of the Newfoundland women why they did it, she said, “You don’t turn your back on people in need.”

Ticketmaster Canada will no longer allow tickets for concerts, sports, and other live events in Ontario to be resold above their original price starting next week. Ontario’s newly passed Bill 97 caps all resale ticket prices, including fees, service charges, and applicable taxes.

SAMANSKI !

DEEE-RAI-SAITLLLLL!

Kasperi Kapanen also had game-winning goal last time EDM had won a game without point from McDavid (Game 5 vs Vegas, 2nd round). Dickinson took morning skate off but expected to play tonight; Samanski back in lineup for injured Henrique. Game 2, 8:10 puck drop on @Sportsnet.

@EdmontonJack so great having the Broadcast team for the Playoffs.

All year long the Oilers didn’t win a game without a point from McDavid (0-12-2). Until tonight.

WHAT A GAME!! 1-0 BABY!! It’s because you fans sang SO loudly!! Couldn’t be more proud of the boys and of our fans!! Game 2 Wednesday!! LET’S GO, OILERS!!

McDavid whoooo? We got Dickinson!

Stupid penalty by Nurse. PP goal follows.

Penguins PP is atrocious. 0/5, 1 SOG, 1 shorty against, and they just gave up a 2 on 0 breakaway. Cred to Skinner for that save, glad to see he's found his game.

Leon Draisaitl is 4th All-Time (Min. 50 GP) in NHL history in Playoff Points/Per Game with 1.469. Significant addition to the @EdmontonOilers lineup 😉

Knoblauch revealed a new nickname for the duo of Dach & Frederic today after practice: The Bash Brothers. #Oilers
