Talbot gave a 60 saves performance and lost the game, can he duplicate that performance tonight? Or he'll channel 7uongo spirit and becomes 7albo7?

what are the chances that things get ugly tonight if the Oilers lose? Especially if a controversial call or a PP goal is the winner. Lots of animosity up north. That arena is gonna be on edge tonight. Has any fan base ever rioted after a 2nd round loss?

Sorry I assumed that Montreal's annual spring riot kind of went without saying.

2013 - Won Game 5 vs. Detroit in a 2-2 split then lost Game 6 on the road and Game 7 at home.

If they lose tonight, they'll find a way to lose the series. I don't think they're a mentally strong team.

I blame Boudreau. But now that he has taken his epic choke-show to Minnesota I expect different results.

No Montreal rioted in 2010 after they lost to the Pens. And after they beat Boston in 2008. Both in R2 I think.

Correction. Both were series wins. Boston was only R1. Who riots after the first round?

I could easily see a riot happening if Team Lottery Ball loses tonight. Their fans have been programmed all season to believe that they deserve nothing less than a Cup win for being gifted McDingleberry. I think they believe they're a team of destiny.

It is amazing just how thoroughly Oiler fans feel that the refs have stolen this series from them.

It's one thing to be upset with calls, and Flames fans were pretty upset with some calls in round 1, but that is different than blaming the entire series on it.

Once it was over, Flames fans were pretty universal in the view that goaltending is what lost the series. Sure the calls didn't help, but at the end of the day you have to fins a way to overcome, and they couldn't. Despite arguably outplaying the Ducks for the most part, fans still look internally for blame.

Oiler fans? Nuh uh. Outplayed most nights? Irrelevant. Outshot 207-152 for the series (by 11 shots per game on average)? Irrelevant.

The refs have stolen this series from us!

Best case scinario:
The Ducks score 3 honest goals, and the refs call them all back as make up calls.
The Ducks still win 4 nothing.

Best case scenario:
It's 0-0 with 0:05 to go. Shots 48-14 Edmonton. Cogliano kicks the puck in and it counts.

Montreal only riots when they win.
