He has been out of the line up since early in the vancouver round to series. So we are going to hear from the oilers around 930 this morning and the big question is who will be out. The oilers back on home ice after this series split in dallas with a double overtime and then the oilers lost game to saturday night. Only scoring once. Not able to capitalize on a power play because dallas has been full strength for the most part only in the penalty box two times in the last two games and one call was for too many players on the ice. Now everyone knew that this would be a tight series. One goal games and every chance that they get the players say they cannot waste it. >> Speaker: you know it's going to be a shot from the blue lines. They obviously have it and such. But we couldn't capitalize towards the end. >> Kendra: something else that they are talking about is an apology from the dallas rank dj after he played la bamba to troll the team saying at something he always does he plays the opposing team's song but he sent out a note thanking the oiler fans for their understanding saying he did not know the significance behind the song for the oilers franchise and for the fans. He said that he will not do it again and he went on to make a donation to the fund as it is also ben's birthday today so hoping that the oilers will be able to play that song tonight. Game time at 630 and we know that this area here will be packed with oiler fans. Back to you. >> Erin: thank you, kendra. Our city's downtown is bustling during the game particularly sand park and ice district plaza where kendra is. Other parts entertainment facilities. Of the sea look like a ghost town. From recreational ice rinks to roadways and entertainment facilities. Once the puck drops, they are all pretty much empty as edmontonians focus their attention on the game. Activate is a physical and mental gaming facility it usually has people lining up outside. But not come game time. >> Michael makar: its been slower, its not dead but there's we love to have fun with the definitely a decline for sure. We love to have fun with the people that come in here who are oilers fans talk to them about the game, get them excited for our games cause they're excited about the game.
