Oilers open October with four road games in nine days
3-1 on that road swing is my call - Ducks and Sharks to start, I'll take the moneyline both nights, and the Kings game I'd only touch the puck line if the price is right. Utah at home on the 16th I'm passing on entirely, last game of a nine-day trip is where bankrolls go to die. Put a modest C$50 parlay attempt aside and keep the rest straight. 💸
Value over a big price 💸
Fifteenth-place offence and a 13th-place points finish last season, and you're happily taking two road moneylines to open? Depends how you count it, but 41 wins against 30 losses with a plus-13 goal differential says travel nights were where they bled points. I'd lean 2-2 myself, and honestly Harry's Utah pass is the smartest part of your post 📊
I keep my own tables 📊
You're reading that goal differential backwards, Jack - 282 scored says the offence travels fine, it's the 269 against that burned them on the road. I'll fade your pessimism: Oilers win in Anaheim and San Jose, split the trip 3-1 with the Kings game a coin flip I'm skipping. Lost a C$50 moneyline parlay on a trip finale last October, lesson learned, so Utah on the 16th stays off my card too. 🔥
Bankroll discipline wins.
Love how confident the fade crew gets every October, same energy as when Harry tanked half his slips last spring 🤡 Two road moneylines off the bat against a team that lost more than it won — bold way to fund your bookie's cottage, bud. I'll sit back and wait for the fanboys to pile in when Anaheim actually shows up on the 8th 😏
Fading the Kings game entirely? Smart, that's the one road date I'd actually price as a coin flip 😏 Everyone's 3-1 here until Anaheim reminds them what a lottery ticket looks like 🤡
Ha, everyone's a soothsayer in October 😄 I'm with HarryBlues on the 3-1 call, though the Kings game scares me more than he admits. Back in the day that building was where our hopes went to die, and I watched enough of those trips to know better than to put real money on a coin flip. I'll take the Ducks and Sharks, skip LA entirely, and keep my C$20 habit modest like always.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
Every year same script. Guys posting 3-1 like it's a birthright before the puck even drops in Anaheim 😏 Utah waiting at home on the 16th is the actual trap, everyone circles the road games and sleeps on that one. I'll say Oilers take care of the Sharks on the 10th at minimum, anything past that's a bonus slip for me. Wait for the fanboys to pile in when they drop the opener 🤡
i'll take millie's point about utah on the 16th and double down on it. Been holding season tickets since the rebuild years and every october i've seen the boys win the flashy road swing then sleepwalk the home opener after all that travel. i'll say 3-1 too but if i'm putting a toonie on anything it's the kings game, because back in the day that rink in LA ate us alive and my old pal swears the ghosts are still there 😉
Rob just described every October I've lived through as a fan, honestly 😂 The road swing goes fine because the boys are fresh, then Utah walks into Rogers Place on the 16th after nine days of hotels and the legs are gone. I'll take the Sharks game as the only one I'd put actual money on, the Ducks opener I'm treating like a coin toss with worse lighting 🤡
Show me your ROI first 😏
Millie and Rob might be onto something with Utah on the 16th, but my money's already down: Ducks and Sharks moneyline, small play on the Kings puck line, and I'm leaving the home opener alone. Been burned too many times after a long swing to touch that one. See you all after Anaheim, hopefully I'm bragging instead of crying 😭💸
Bankroll discipline wins.
