The Pick: Sharks in seven.
Why? The Sharks have stumbled down the stretch and centres Joe Thornton and Logan Couture were injured late in the season. If they aren’t at 100% (or thereabouts), that could swing the balance towards Edmonton, with league-leading scorer Connor McDavid hitting his first postseason on a roll – he had 25 points during a 14-game point streak to finish the regular season. The Oilers have the speed advantage. Will they have the power to match up with the likes of bearded Sharks Thornton and defenceman Brent Burns? Couture's status may swing the balance, as I consider this the biggest toss-up of the first round. [TSN]

I'm not trying to be funny either, that's the closest I have to an idea of what that couch is.

But I have a bad feeling it's used in porn.....



It's porn isn't it.....
Did you just say porn is "yucky" ???!!??? WHAAAT!!

Oilers selling tickets to hang around the concourse for games 1 and 2 for only $80 a ticket.

I'm sure the fans who paid for actual seats will appreciate having their concourse jammed up and extra long concession/bathroom waits.

That is SUCH an Oiler thing to do.

So what kind of fan pays $80 for those tickets? Somewhere between second and third tier fans. 2.5... Tier fans? Sounds about right to me.

Can't really blame the Oilers, they have been out of the playoffs for 10 years and who knows when they will ever make them again. They need to get as much money out of these playoffs as possible.

Wait, if you were half closet Oiler fan why are you regular member on C.... oh, never mind. He fits in perfectly.

Lol also obnoxiously announces it in the NG thread. Tres Oileresque indeed.

That's an easy 160,000 not including beer parking merchandise or food.Could be an extra 500,000 in revenue towards the oilers.If they didn't suck for so many years they wouldn't have to be so cheap and greedy towards the fans.

Oh FFS! Does nobody see what the obvious problem is here? Packing the exit routes with as many bodies as possible is dangerous! That's a major fire hazard.

I can't believe that wasn't an April 1st thing.

So you amp up the cost on tickets to the building for your season ticket fan base (all teams have playoff tickets more expensive) and then you make it impossible for them to drink beer, get in, get out, or urinate.

What a stupid idea.
