On repeat until next year! #WANTITALL

[FOX Sports: MLB @MLBONFOX]

Vladdy Jr. just did "DAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE!" 🤣

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

@jonmorosi @NHLMedia Not even close.

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

Like, just, how?

[Brenden Escott @BrendenEscott]

"Assuming there's no complications carrying forward with the #NHL, Mike Babcock will be the next coach of the @EdmontonOilers. It's inevitable."

-@Bob_Stauffer on @OilersNow this afternoon

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

When your franchise hinges on one year of Mike Babcock to take us to the promised land

[Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger]

Sources: The Edmtn Oilers are consulting with the NHLPA to see if there are objections that must be resolved before potentially hiring Mike Babcock. Amid allegations of invading players privacy, Babcock resigned in CBJ as Head Coach in 2023. Further investigation may be required.

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

Easy. Way. Out.

[Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli]

Helene reports that Dylan Larkin gave #LGRW three teams where he'd accept a trade and believes those teams are: #FlaPanthers, #mnwild and #VGK.

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

Can we... just... no.

[David Pagnotta @TheFourthPeriod]

With all the speculation over Dylan Larkin's potential landing spot, you have to wonder about the Vegas Golden Knights being a destination he'd want to go. Larkin is good friends with Jack Eichel. Can VGK pull this off after the Cup Final?

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

I want that game back so bad. One shot away from being one shot away. 😭😢

[Top Tier Hockey @TopTierPucks]

If we could’ve just won Game 7 man

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

Is what Vegas doing with Bruce Cassidy legal? Yes.
Is there anything written where they need to let him pursue other opportunities willingly? No.
Do they benefit from others when they ask for permission? Yes.
Should coaches be paying attention to this? Yes.
Is it petty? YES.

[Tyler Yaremchuk @tyleryaremchuk]

There's no shot the Oilers hire Mike Babcock... right?

.............. right?

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

If he was still working for them, fine. But keeping him from working because it is a division rival? Vegas is ruthless but this seems like a bridge too far. You had him coach the whole year only to fire him with 8 games before the playoffs, but don't want him to work. Petty.

[Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli]

League sources say #Oilers have sought permission to interview Bruce Cassidy as they contemplate significant coaching staff changes.

To this point, sources say @GoldenKnights have withheld permission from division rival.

Gamesmanship? Perhaps. Mostly unprecedented for role.

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

@JasonGregor @DeclanKrueger Trace for a while, now it is slate. For a challenge follow @rangskcros86769 on YouTube and Facebook and for a different starting word with a variety of difficulties. Tomorrow's word is XYXYL.

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

It is a great format for a 16 team league. A 9 team league? Might as well half the season and get on with this. Don't love it.

[Jason Gregor @JasonGregor]

Big fan of the new CFL playoff format starting in 2027. There will be more playoff games.
Top two teams in each division will play and winner moves to 3rd round. Loser plays in second round.

And play in games with seeds 5 v. 8 and 6. v. 7. Winners move to 2nd round to play the losers of 1/2 matchup.

Also season will start in late May and end November 7th.

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

Next year, I don't want to hear a peep about this type of stuff. They said it all year when they couldn't win 3 games in a row. They developed zero consistency through an 82 game schedule and said, don't worry, we know how to play when it matters. Clearly not. #LetsGoOilers

[Edmonton Oilers @EdmontonOilers]

"It's seven games & first to four. We have experience in these situations. We have to go back home, win a game & go from there."

The #Oilers look to stay alive in Game 5 against the Ducks tonight at @RogersPlace. https://t.co/o61ICDVKA8

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

@tparchewsky That is my biggest worry too. The cupboards are pretty bare and McDavid has only committed for 2 more years. I hope I'm wrong, but if they don't figure it out over the next 12 months, it is likely curtains for this group.

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

I thought it before the playoffs started. I hated to say it because with Florida out this year, you just never know how the playoffs will go. But, maybe this is the year they regroup, get a summer off and start fresh in September. And find a way to get rid of some problems...

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

Prove it. They have said these things all year and have yet to show that they can do it this year. 2024 and 2025 were different teams. They have earned nothing to this point and shouldn't act like they have or just assume they can do it. Figure it out tonight or it is curtains.

[Edmonton Oilers @EdmontonOilers]

"It feels like when our backs are up against the wall, that's when we kind of shine."

The #Oilers look to even up their first-round series with the Ducks in Game 4 at Honda Center tonight. https://t.co/B737nTtCuN

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

Did anyone check with Rod Brind'Amour if that counts as a sweep?

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

They should have done it one game earlier to have the Stuart Skinner experience complete.

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

PIT coach Dan Muse says Arturs Silovs starts Game 4

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

Boston in 7
Tampa in 6
Ottawa in 7
Pittsburgh in 6

Colorado in 5
Minnesota in 7
Vegas in 5
Edmonton in 6

Tampa vs. Ottawa
Colorado vs. Edmonton

Tampa over Colorado in the Final; Vasilevskiy is the Conn Smythe trophy winner.

[Curtis Murray @cjackmurray]

Screw it. Set Savoie up for 3 more next period! #LetsGoOilers
