Having a slow comeback in the heat of a playoff push could spell disaster for them.

Yep, and the two guys that need the time off are the ones not getting any.

If either of Draisaitl or Mcdavid gets injured at the olympics, their season is cooked. Not that I would ever cheer for an injury

For the ice time and deployment those two players get, they have for the most part remained remarkably healthy over the last decade.

Surprising given the amount of times McDavid looks like he got slammed to the ice.

I'd not cheer for injury, but for Pissy? I'm willing to make an exception for how he plays, spearing and all. I wouldn't cheer for career ending injury for him though, because I wouldn't the Pigs able to LTIR his contract.

That's because they go down before they even get hit.

I hope the opposing countries teams are big, mad and ready and willing to violate the "right of way" to make a name for themselves since this isn't an NHL tournament.

Let's see some heroes be born.

Maybe Trouba lines one of them up tonight!

Oilers are -270 vs Ducks tonight, and still 75% of bets are going their way on ML. So you are risking $10 to make $3.70 betting on them.
Sure, Oilers may win but Ducks are 1pt behind Oilers with a game in hand and have won 7 in a row. What warrants them to be overwhelming favorites? Only the stupidity of Oilers fans.

What's this.... another team playing the 2nd of a back to back with their backup goalie starting vs the Oilers???

Given their record against the tired teams so far and lack of success against teams not in the bottom 10, they need every handicap they can get.
