Who's ready for the season opener at Rogers Place on October 3rd?
FINALLY. October 3rd can't come soon enough 😤🔥 been counting down since the schedule dropped, you just know Rogers Place is gonna be LOUD that night. Kraken first at home then right into that brutal road swing, five games in nine days is a meat grinder to start the season, but honestly bring it on.
Which one worries me most? Gotta be Utah on the 16th, weird new matchup and they always play us tough. But nah, we'll be fine, I still remember screaming my head off at the TV during that Battle of Alberta comeback a while back, this team shows up when it matters 💪 OILERS COUNTRY RISE UP 🧡💙
You don't abandon your own.
That road swing right after the home opener is gonna test us early 😤 Kraken first tho, Rogers Place gonna be BUZZING 🔥💪
One love, one side ❤️
Bookies already got the opener up, Oilers at home to Seattle around -160 moneyline, puck line -1.5 paying close to +130. I dropped C$50 on the ML and C$25 on the line, value's in the road games later, Anaheim and San Jose typically price softer. Five in nine days means goalie rotation matters, check who starts before touching the total 🔥💸
Bankroll discipline wins.
My wallet after Harry's bets: "we had a good run" 🤣 An October 3rd with five games in nine days? My liver asked for a curtain call already 🍿😂
Hold my pint.
Don't laugh guys but maybe I'm wrong, is -160 on the opener actually good value? Still learning this stuff 😅 that Anaheim game worries me more, second of a back-to-back swing 🤔🙏

Anaheim worries me way more tbh, second game of the swing after a late-night LA trip... body's still in bed while the puck drops 😱🤬 💪
On the terraces since I was a kid.
Chloe you've got me nervous now 😅 is a road swing really that brutal that early, or do teams kind of ease into it? Still learning this stuff 🙏
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
Lee it's brutal that early, legs aren't even there yet lol. Utah on the 16th scares me more tbh, fresh team, no film, nobody knows what they're getting 😬 ah well, nowt to do but watch 🍺

Go easy on me but is the road swing really scarier than opening night itself? 😅 like ParlayPainHater said Utah has no film on them, but Seattle first game, Rogers Place rocking, maybe nerves are a bigger factor than tired legs that early? Don't laugh if I've got it backwards 🙏
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
Gary, so the road games are the killer but Utah at home on the 16th after all that travel wouldn't be rough too? 🤔 sorry if that's daft, still learning 🙏

ValueModel95 nah Utah at home's fine, we get our own beds back by then 😄 Anaheim on the 8th is the one I'm dreading, third game in five nights 🔥
On the terraces since I was a kid.
Honest question though 😅 everyone keeps saying Anaheim on the 8th but isn't San Jose the sneaky trap? Three road games deep, tired legs, and a bottom team is exactly where you sleepwalk. Or am I reading that wrong, still learning the rhythms here 🙏
New here, soaking it up.
JohnFan nah you're reading it right tbh, SJ's the trap one 🔥 everyone's eyes on Anaheim but two nights after, legs still dead, arena half empty, nothing on the line vibe... that's where teams sleepwalk into a 3-0 hole before the second period. Happens every road swing, our lot never make it easy 💪
I'd argue the whole swing comes down to those goalies too, back to back travel nights someone's gotta steal one 🙌 Where's the hype at for the 3rd tho, I'm buzzing already 😤
On the terraces since I was a kid.
ChrisArmy nails the SJ trap talk, but let me tell you a story. Back in the day I watched teams waltz into "trap games" and come out flying, and waltz into big hype matchups and flop like a deck chair in the wind. Five in nine days, every single one can bite you if the legs go. Ask me which worries me most and honest answer is the one nobody's circled yet 😉
