Post-Game Talk: 1 Down, 3 To Go

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

He was absolutely trying to coax out a 5 minute major there.

Hopefully all this crap adds up and the refs decide they have had enough of it.

 

[Stoneman89]

He must have went to the room for a bennetdiction

Trainer: Sam, looks like it's only going to be a 2 minute penalty, is all. You can go back out now, sorry.

Bennett: What! f*** me! Okay, I tried. Someone better get on the phone to Gary to straighten this shit out.

Why are they asking the game MVP about McD.

To be fair they have to be to review it.

I can't believe they didn't review Ekblad's blatant cross check to the numbers on Foegele at the boards, when the Oilers scored. That should have been 5 and game.

Oilers have to beat Bob 5 on 4 of they want to continue playing. That’s still not solved and an easy way to win some games.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Game 5 is so huge. I’d love to get a big win in their building, just silence their fans. Then back to Edmonton to blow out the Panthers ear drums and give Ratboy flashbacks to 2022.

Oilers aren’t scared, they’re determined. A focused, determined Oilers group, when losing is no longer an option, is very dangerous. If both teams bring their best the Panthers can’t win.

 

[Senor Catface]

came across this today,,,when Whyte ave was the party place

It's too bad the series ended after game 6 and never concluded. We will never know who could have won.

 

[Stoneman89]

We needed a to beat them, and got a beatdown as a bonus.

Game 5 will be the tough one, IMO. No home crowd to boost us, and have to deal with line matchups, etc. But if we stay the course and process, hopefully good things will happen. I will say this, if we somehow win game 5, I have no doubt there will be a game 7.

Each game is unto it's own, and momentum goes with that individual game. But you have to think they've got in Bob's head a bit now, and Barkov isn't some mystical creature. I really liked Knob's comment, about their play this game not a whole lot different than games 1 and 3, except they cut out the bonehead mistakes, and scored goals.

If they win game 5, this city is going to go nuts on Friday.

 

[TheNumber4]

He lost one of those games on his own.

That didn’t mean he was good enough in the other two.

Swap goalies in this series and at the very least it’s 3-1 Edmonton.

He gave the Oilers a chance to win in Game 1 but the oilers scored zero goals. That’s good enough goaltending hy definition. Panthers controlled game 2 though, deserved to win that, wasn’t given that game by Stu. So like I said, he only cost the team one game with that one bad goal.

 

[Stoneman89]

Lmao.
Imagine all the shit piling up in their toilets, their smell and delirium from dehydration.

I know. And THEN they had that water pipe break.

One thing that gets me is last night they didn't show the Florida watch party at Amerrat arena once. Interesting that. they showed it plenty when Florida were up 4-1 in game 3 We hadn't seen glimpses of them since. Only when Panthers are winning I guess..

Oilers got unstuck in game 3. Started scoring. Now Panthers are having trouble finding net. Hockey can be like that.

 

[Stoneman89]

Is that Amy Poehler interviewing him? Shit, we are getting famous!

We've got Chinese state media, apple news giving me oilers notification, Amy poehler clones, bunch of band Wagoners!

This is so true, but we need to limit our mistakes. We can't turn the puck over and "give them goals".

Those people in that watch party probably left after 4-1, Miami fans are known for leaving games early. Wouldn't be surprised if it was empty by the 2nd intermission.

If skinner doesn’t deserve any criticism when we don’t score very many goals then he doesn’t deserve praise when we score 8 imo.

I'm just noting a different editorial decision in the broadcasts. They have not trouble showing the Edmonton watch parties when the Oilers are trailing. Was just curious because I actually wanted to see the Florida fans last night, even if was mostly empty.

Back to the topic I notice the rat has changed some colors since being out of Calgary. Tkachuk had nothing but praise for the Oilers in postgame comments and calling them very good, played very well, etc.

Its interesting that a Rat becomes a bit less of a Rat in a different environment than Calgary. He seems to have toned it down a bit in Florida. Is that Maurice telling him to knock it off? Thought his post game comments were curious. Just buttering the Oilers bread?

Might have sunk in this time. I know Sutter repeatedly told him in no uncertain terms to focus on playing hockey.

He deserves criticism when he costs the team bad goals. When that doesn’t happen, it’s likely he played a good enough game. How much praise that entails, decide for yourself. I choose to praise him for a well played Game 4 which included some potentially game saving saves early on regardless of the final score

I did praise him because despite us scoring 8 he made some timely big saves that could have changed the game if they went in.

Just like he deserves some criticism for letting 2 goals in on the first like 5 shots which immediately changed the game.

The goal posts had more stops than Skinner did early in game. Just saying. Panthers stopped finishing well. Even on the cross ice plays they didn't place shots very well allowing Skinner to get across.

That said Panthers were probably getting a lot of puck luck early in series and shots having eyes. Now that seems to have abated. Skinner played well, but basically doing what a goalie should do and stopping what he should stop.

Foegle never hit Listerine in the leg for his 5 and a game. f*** the Panthers!

So true.

If the Oilers didn't have the best player in the world in their lineup, I'd think that they'd have virtually no chance to win this series. But they do. Along with Draisatl, it's as dynamic a duo as there is in the game. I suspect Draisatl is playing with either a serious injury or a bunch of nagging injuries, but he looked like he came around quite a bit in game 4. If he can step it up just a bit more than he did last game and the secondary scoring keeps happening, then Florida is in for quite the battle for their necessary 4th win.

If it were Brodeur or Roy in net for Florida, I'd say it's over. But it's Bobrovsky. When he played for Columbus there was a derisive term "Playoff Bob" used to describe his post season play. If that "Playoff Bob" has returned-and it certainly could have-it's game on.

Go Oilers!

Good thing they did a 5 second review.

 

[tiger_80]

Brady, Matthew... Get back to Florida!!

Fatchuks looking on.

Shot clock is one thing, an irrelevant thing really. Seeing the egregious breakdowns that was the prime reason those goals went in is more important when attributing blame or criticism. You can criticize Skinner for not enough big saves though, but not for bad goals in Game 1. You can also say he didn’t cost the team the game cause the team scored zero goals in that game.
