The Oilers are absolutely in juggernaut mode right now. Winners of eight straight in these, the #NationSims2 playoffs. Will it ever end? Stay tuned tonight at 7pm MT right here to find out.

About 15 minutes prior to game time, the stream will be live here:

Since the playoffs started, I have been trying to get you guys to answer a poll that lets some… I mean, I have been happy to do this haha. This time I think I will run a start or sit poll on social.

Look for that on game days.
