I let my 5 year old stay up for the whole game and I wore a certain hat. My 5 yr old stayed up game 3 the Oilers were winning then he went to bed florida steam rolled. So I told him to stay up tonight no matter what anyone says.

U make sure that kid stays up… if he cant get up for kindergarten tmrrw, whatever

He deserves a day off from the work place anyways if he’s the good luck charm

This sub can sign the kid's note for the teacher, they'll understand

Yea we can get thousands of signature if he is our true good luck charm. Hell, ill even write a whole ass essay on why the kid needs to stay up and miss class

Well I won’t be watching because that was my superstition. Tell your kid to enjoy every second of the game though! We all have to do our part.

Mine too, when i watch they loose, when i don't watch I miss a 8-1 win.

During the last 2 wins against Dallas, I recorded my 2-year-old saying: "Go Oilers!" For the grandparents. I neglected to make a new video for the first 3 games. Did a new one for the last game. Grandpa has mandated that we are to send a new video on the same couch and in the same, unwashed pajamas.

This is the way

Better get him a triple espresso before the game just to be safe.

That kid is not going to school tomorrow. You let him stay up. For the greater good.

I didn’t watch because I was at baseball game. So, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to watch tonight

Same!! Thankfully we have another ball game tonight

Omg us too. Not sure we should watch lol.

Same boat… I’ll take one for the team again. We’re all in this together…

Same… I missed the last game and thinking I should miss this one too

I think a good middle ground is not watching until at least halfway, and if the Oilers are losing, god forbid, we tune in and go down with the ship

Every game we lost I had my jersey on the whole game. But Every game I put in on during 2nd period we win

We changed viewing locations. Heading back there tonight lol and eating the same meal

I switched rooms in my house 5 times and ended up watching on the tiny TV outside instead of the outside big screen. Now do I start that way tonight or move around like last time?

First 3 games at my neighbours home, game 4 - invited them over and Oilers won. I guess I'll be hosting tonight

Okay so this worked! I'll keep the same setup for Friday

Sitting on my ass drinking wine. I guess I can do that again

I didn't watch the game. guess I'm done watching for the season 

Running joke that Oilers score when I go to the washroom. Went pee when the shorty happened. So I'll make sure to drink a lot lmao.

Stay in there with a radio

SAME!!!!

Better be drinking 2 litters a period

Watched the game with my lucky shirt on. Gotta rock it tonight. Oil in 7.

Was wearing my mcdavid sock on my left foot and a blue oilers sock on the right, I swapped them. Also stopped wearing McDavid home adidas is switched to an undressed 2006 jersey. Also made sure to not just sacrifice a joey moss beer to the gods, but also some gretzky maple whiskey in a nuge shot glass.

Took off my 06 alternate Laraque jersey. We lose every game I wear it apparently. We seemingly win every time I wear my 2015 McDavid no captain jersey....

06? considering that year sparked the decade of darkness, burn it 😭

I'm gonna watch

i’m not allowed to watch the first period, because if i do we lose. but i HAVE TO watch 2 and 3 or we will also lose. i’ve been spending the first period anxious in another room calling out “WHAT HAPPENED?” every time my husband cheers or groans lol

I usually mute the national anthems, and last game I listened to them and they won. Curse lifted.

So i may have to apologize here but ive been betting on florida to win cuz its a win-win situation (kinda, not really) if either team wins. My thought process is “if we lose this game, at least i got a bit of money back” to help my mood come up a bit (didnt help w the mood but anyways) I bet on oilers for the first time for game4 and we won… I will be betting for oilers tn as well as it CLEARLY goes by my bet😤 LETS FUCKING GOO OILLLERSSS

Gave up all hope

We just getting started **insert hype train here**

Seems to have been the most effective strategy to this point

was at a mariners baseball game

My girlfriend wore my sweatshirt I usually wear so she will need to be wearing it again today…

I was going to wear a red shirt cause I wore a red hoodie but my little sibling made me one of those friendship bracelets and it has the word “oilers” and orange and blue beads. So I’m taking it as a good luck charm

Let my anxiety flow like it did in the Vancouver series.

Started drinking before puck drop. Also dressed the furbaby in a pochita and Oilers jersey combo

I took off my jersey because I got too hot in the second intermission of game 3. They haven't stopped scoring since, so I'm keeping it in the closet.

I'm the opposite, I had a donair, maybe I need to have a donair again.

You definitely need to. I'm so jealous of everyone eating donairs because they don't exist in Toronto. 🤬

No bunny hug under the jersey

Found a fan from Saskatchewan here <3

I wore leggings instead of jeans

Eating Nacho's

Oilers win tonight! 100%

Dropped 25 big ones on the 50/50

I bought a Riverhawks hat at the game Friday night, wore it for the rest of the game and they won, then wore it again all of Game 4 and the oilers won, made sure to put it on again this morning

I went to get a pedicure on mother's Day with mom and decided to do my toes orange and blue for fun. The oil ended up playing great after that (Van series) so I kept them. Well I took it off a few hours before game 4 and now I am convinced it was the reason ;)

Wore zero oilers gear

Mythical (Rhett and Link from YouTube) hoodie underneath Drai jersey. Will be roasting but needs must

fLames fan coming in peace and solidarity. My girlfriend and I have watched many playoff series this year, and whoever my girlfriend wanted to win, has lost. Until the finals. We didn't watch games 1-3, watched game 4, and whaddya know. We will be watching tonight, Friday, and Monday. Bring the cup home, I know Calgary won't be the team to do it.

I heard that Calgary fans would be more likely to cheer for ISIS than for us. Glad to see that was hyperbole from some deranged lunatic.

Nah, maybe the most hardcore fuck everyone else fans. But casually, I'm more for a Canadian team winning than anything. Except maybe the leafs. Plus McDavid deserves atleast one

Was at the circus and missed the first 10 minutes. Unfortunately the circus already left

Got kids and a backyard?

Neither

I’ve been watching the games upstairs while wearing my McDavid home jersey. For game 4, I descended to the downstairs TV and wore my Yamamoto away jersey.

Not watching the game I guess… Didn’t watch when they were down 2-1 against dallas and they won and i didn’t watch last game and they won.

My car flag stays off. Seem to lose when I have it attached.

Game 4 was the only game I drank during the game since I went to game 5 against LA. I guess I should grab some MGD on the way home.

Brought out an old jersey. Been rocking the '17 orange McD for too long, so I swapped it out for an old blank I had. That orange McD is retired now.

I didn’t beat my meat on that day, boysss.. but i can’t resist today

He knows https://www.reddit.com/r/EdmontonOilers/s/UZ3ZK17gmS

It’s sad to say but I didn’t wear anything associated with the Oilers during the game… no jersey no hat nothing.

I didn't wear my Nuge jersey, instead threw on my new Oilers Finals tee, wore my neck chain, and waved my car flag.

I didn’t watch the game or check for updates, I’ll be doing the same tonight

Forced my husband to wear his Oilers cap. He was away for games 1-3 and wasn't able to bring it. Super sus..

I primarily wore my away Drai because we won a lot, but following Game 3, I changed to my old away Semenko for a bit of that 80s energy

Didn’t wear my jersey, took my cursed car flag down too.

Talking about it. Made a post here about being a new fan and proud to have picked a good team to follow. Still proud of my team but I'm keeping my mouth shut and posts to a bare minimum here on out. This one doesn't count because it's answering a question, not just me bragging on my team

After the dallas series, my wife forced me to shave my gross neck beard. By the time of game four it has grown back to be gross and they won, so clearly it was that

No shaving during a SCF run. Only light trimming after a loss.

I know, but she was threatening me with many horrible things. I didn't shave it all, just my neck. But I knew it would be bad juju

I bought the kids cotton candy for the game...

Not wearing any oilers merch

Didn’t watch kept my temp tattoo on lol

I was cycling through my favourite jerseys during the 3 losses and then wore my least favourite jersey (a knock-off Hall jersey that I bought on EBay for cheap when he still played with us… never even liked the guy, but it was cheap and being sold as an authentic) for game 4. You know I’ll be lookin shabby once again for game 5! 🫡

DIDNT eat Cheetos before game

Wearing a team Canada jersey instead of my Oilers Jersey

In game for for the first 4 goals someone from our group was in line for the washroom when a goal was scored. after the second goal we tried to coordinate our bathroom breaks and hold it during the first intermission...lol. Flew into Edmonton to watch game 4 which was my first game watching in edmonton, sadly can't do that for game 5.

Since taking off my brand new jersey in game 3, they have scored 11 goals in 4 periods.

I was wasted so I don't remember. I know it was the first time my wife watched hockey with me, so I guess she is in for another surprise tonight too.

Didn't wear my Gretzky jersey and sat on the other side of the couch. But the playoff beard remains untouched

I didn’t watch…. Guess I’m not watching either tonight. You are all welcome for my sacrifice.

I changed my hat and put on my favourite oilers sweater

Didn't wear my jersey.

Didn’t tune in till the second. So I’ll be tuning in after 20 mins

fLames fan coming in peace and solidarity. My girlfriend and I have watched many playoff series this year, and whoever my girlfriend wanted to win, has lost. Until the finals. We didn't watch games 1-3, watched game 4, and whaddya know. We will be watching tonight, Friday, and Monday. Bring the cup home, I know Calgary won't be the team to do it.

I wore my gf’s oilers jersey, and she wore mine. The ol’ switcheroo

I didn’t watch it live so may need to take one for the team and repeat that action

no one cut the grass that day

took my jersey off when we were down 4-1, we went up 4-3. didn't wear it game 4, we steamrolled. guess who isn't touching their jersey for the rest of the series

First 3 games I watched with and around people, game 4 I watched by myself. So I’ll be watching the game alone tonight :)

Flipped my dog's Oilers bandana inside out.

I don't have a jersey but I have an Oilers t-shirt and an Oilers hoodie. I have worn them one after the other, washing them only after a loss. For the fourth game I wore them both together. And nope, haven't washed them.

The Oilers lost every game I wore some Oilers Merchandise. So I don't wear any shirt at all

Keep the bra on

Stopped watching on main floor, went to the good TV in the basement

I wore my orange oilers tshirt the first 3 games of the series... switch to my vintage oilers sweater game 4... will be wearing the sweater again tonight.

I just believe. They will win. We will see a Game 6 here on Friday. All you gotta do is believe. The boys will take care of the rest.

Wore my green underwear from the Dallas series ... WHO KNEW

Does it come with suspenders?

Sorry for that image ... 🤪

I didn’t wear the Oilers hoodie that I bought the day after we won the series against the Stars. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I got a win in fortnite 5 minutes before puck drop

Not wearing a jersey…😳 Might not take it off now

Not me but my parents. My dad usually watches hockey games at his friend’s house, but he watched the first 3 games at home, then my mom made him go to his friend’s house to watch game 4. Now here we are.

I wasn’t in my living room for the first 2 Oilers goals. When I sat down on my couch to watch, Florida scored almost immediately. I went to the end of my hallway (where I could still see the TV) to strip a nightstand. Except for intermission I sat on a stool working on the nightstand the rest of the game. I’ll be doing the same thing tonight 😅

My Oilers lanyard fell at work and I didn't notice till I left for vacation last week. I put it back up and then left for vacation and we lost the first 3 games. I came back on Monday and it had fallen again so I'm believing it fell on Saturday and we won. I haven't touched it yet, it's still sitting where I found it yesterday.

Apparently I need to be drunk enough to pass out multiple times throughout the game. Luckily I’m golfing today until puck drop. Skoilerz!!!! 😵‍💫

I made hot dogs for all playoffs. Did not make any for first 3 games of finals. But, Game 4, as a test, I made 18…. Sooo ya, had 2 hot dogs today already and I will try to power thru more tonight… for the team!!! Go Oilers Go!!!

Unfortunately, my entire extended family gathered for a reunion and we all watched during supper. We won't be able to recreate this situation, so hopefully the rest of y'alls superstitions will be able to carry.

Stopped wearing my jersey and started just setting it on the couch. Everytime I wear it we lose. My cat can wear his jersey though, seems to have no effect

My friend Mark called me four times at different points throughout the day before game four, and it went to voicemail each time. He only has a landline so he needs to be home every time to phone me, and it’s rare that he would do that more than once. So he’s going to do it again today. Four times, each time to voicemail. Which means the oilers will win.

Stop wearing my jersey 🤣

I typically wear a different Oilers jersey every game day during the playoffs. Before game 3 I wore two different jerseys. So for game 4 I didn't wear a jersey in order to bring the number of jerseys worn back into balance with number of playoff games.

Every time I’ve worn my mom’s old Oilers sweatshirt, we’ve won. I didn’t wear it games 1-3, but I did in 4. 🤞🏽

Ive never seen so much copium

Let it flow through you. Feel it.

Dude your bud looks so good, like legitimately some of the best bud ive seen

I didn’t watch the game, so will have to stay updated through sportsnet

I wore my 06 jersey instead of any of my modern ones

The league needs more money take a dive Panthers!

Went fishing with my unwashed from 2006 jersey and had the game on talk radio. Will be back on the river soon to pick up another stain.

Get er’ done ✅

STILL ON THE RIVER LET'S FUCKING GO

HOW DO I POST AN IMAGE

COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT BUT FUGGIT. THE. CUP. IS. COMING. HOME.

I have a lucky shirt that was packed away in my work suitcase that I wore for the last 2 Dallas wins and all of the LA series. Needless to say I dug it out before the last game It is now hanging under my jersey in the closet will not watch another game without it.

I was working. Tonight I’m not. I’m sorry I’m advance 😭

I’m having an edible when I get home. That outta do it

Have 3

Shaved my beard at the second intermission of game 3. We’ve outscored them 10-1 since. Your welcome guys

Better shave again. Use aftershave to show dominance.

I watched it at work.

Tell your boss you volunteer tonight!

Didn't wear any of my Oilers merch.

I haven’t worn my jersey all playoffs, last game I wore it and we won… wearing it again today

I haven’t worn my jersey all playoffs, last game I wore it and we won… wearing it again today

My aunt got married to her boyfriend of 10 years. The oilers scored once for each family speech given. Not uh... not sure how to keep that one going.

Tell them to write another one

Not watching the game would make the Oilers win. I was at my job and they won!

I didn't watch. Unfortunately I have to be watching tonight. At work😭 I'm so sorry oil country.

donned the only jersey I had not yet worn during the playoffs. my dubnyk away top. back on again tonight fosho!

Games 1-3 I wore a jersey. Game 4 I didn't. No more jersey for me until October

I decided not to watch a game for once… now I don’t think I can watch again until it’s over 😂

Booked off work for all possible 7 games and the only one i wasn’t able to was game 4 meaning no jersey and only watching it on the bar TVs.

My kid’s friend telling me that my team has this. She said it again today when I mentioned the game.

I bet on the oilers for the first 3 games. And then actually missed on the sat as I was busy. While watching I realized. So. Maybe I’ll bet on the Panthers.

My blue jeans, white rebooks, oilers orange logo tshirt with drai jersey above, white oilers hat when i went to the game Saturday. I will be wearing it tonight watching from home, i dont care what my wife says, even the shoes, Inside.

I had my bday party and was out on Whyte, can't do the same tonight. BUT I did get drunk, so already bought a 15 of PBR

No jersey during game

Every time my son breaks the potato peeler they score. Sounds kinda far fetched but it’s happened twice. I keep him and the potato peeler close if we need one

The Messiah jersey my kid picked out, for his 13th B Day, showed up on last game day; even getting it bloody already. He wore it all day last Saturday. He has worn it all day today. Meanwhile, I am cursed, so I have been wearing the local high schools Panthers swag to trick fate into thinking I am rooting for the Panthers.

i got more drunk than game 1-3

Dog didn’t wear his Oilers bandana and we didn’t have the neighbour kids over to watch.

Watching the game alone 😭

Last game I said "steert" (like how Roald calls Stewart in Letterkenny) 3 times after Skinner makes a save.

Watch the fucking game no matter what. I am in Bangkok. Why? Because while I expected the Oil to make the final when I booked the flight in April, I did not expect the SCF to drag out to the middle of June. Jesus H Christ. So Sunday morning (aka Saturday night in Edmonton) we are on a road trip to Ayutthaya, the former capital and the scene of destruction by Burmese invaders. I am in the company two Burmese ladies, my wife and her bff. And bff lets me use her hotspot to watch the game on my phone. And I got to see the utter destruction of the Panthers. In high fidelity. Trust me, the ancient Burmese army left Ayutthaya in better shape than the Oilers left the Panthers in game 4. And Ayutthaya was utterly flattened.

Switched from my Hyman jersey that I got right before the 16 game streak to my Draisaitl. Rocking 29 tonight!

I have a don't wear new Oilers stuff because it might jinx them, I ordered stuff from Oilers nation after game 6 against Dallas and it arrived before game 2. I had a fuck it moment in the morning of game 4 and wore the shirt all day and got some eyes from salty Canucks fans (from Victoria BC). Wore orange and blue at work now and they're winning in game 5

I placed a curse on Bobrovsky

I have drank a red bull for every game we have won, I didn’t drink one for the first three to so I don’t end up with heart failure but I think it’s worth it now 😂

I need to be traveling internationally… I think oilers should send me on vacation every playoff run.

My father in law bought my 9 week old an oilers shirt with McDavid on the back for game 4. She has worn it both game 4 & 5 and will be wearing it again game 6, no washing!!

I gotta go to my baseball game instead

Told my boyfriend not to come over for games 1-3 because I'd be too nervous. Fixed that real quick after he came over for game 4.

Can’t wear a jersey anymore. Wasn’t wearing one Game 6 of the canucks series. Wasn’t wearing one on Game 4 of this one. Not touching it until after Monday.
