Sure didn’t take Lucic and Talbot long to lose their Oiler stink.

Staples referred to Draisaitl, RNH, and Yamamoto as the NHL's best two-way line this year. 110 points and -7 for Draisaitl, real stellar defensive play is evident there, LOL.

Eric Francis is no good.
I think Francis is a die hard Flames fan. He was the one who was getting into it with the Oilers media during the whole Tkachuk/Kassian thing.

He's probably doing that reverse jinx thing.

I wouldn't mind if they won 1 round either. Who wants them in the draft sweepstakes again knowing their track record.

And he doesn't want them to have any balls in the lottery machine.

Not 'The Oilers' but McDavid and Draisaitl... tells you everything you need to know about that team and the entire franchise.

I'll be lurking...catch you guys/girls later.
Don't worry, we'll have the Hawk support covered

This is the perk of a delay.

It usually takes a full season to wipe off Oiler stink - which is probably why Lucic and Talbot were okay in the regular season but still not back to their old selves.

However with the 4 month delay in the season we are kind of into "Year 2 post Oilers" now, which is when the stink usually is fully worn off.

I think there's funny business going on.

When servers were crashing for the 780k and 3.2 million jackpots, they said they upgraded for game three.

For the big 5.4 million pot, I bought tickets twice with no issues. The upgraded servers worked.

I've been trying since 9am today to buy some, and it keeps saying I'm blocked despite the fact I am very much in the province of AB. I'm starting to wonder if they are only allowing northern AB to buy and are claiming "SeRvErS aRe DoWn!!!!1" when Calgarians try, lest a Calgarian win it and a meltdown occurs in Shelbyville.

According to Twitter, people in Edmonton are having issues as well, so you can put the tinfoil hat away

Family in Drayton Valley have been blocked, too. They asked me to try and buy for them and now Red Deer is blocked as well.

The start time of tonight's game has been pushed back 15 minutes because of the ARI-NAS OT.
