Post-Game Talk: 2 Down, 2 To Go

[foshizzle]

That unreal goal by Perry set up by McDavid, Perry wasn’t actually supposed to be on the ice. Darnell Nurse was supposed to be on the ice because the second unit has 2 dmen on it, so the first forward going off - Nurse is supposed to step on. Nurse recognized what McDavid was doing and yelled down the bench for a forward to step on- and the rest is history. This per Chris Johnston and Ryan Rishaug. Credit to Nurse.

I knew the Hockey Gods were just testing us.

Believeeeeeeeeee Oil Country. They will pull through for us if we have FAITH in McJesus and the Boys.

It's like when you need the line piece in Tetris and you're just keeping that slot on the edge open as Tetris God waits and now we're getting some consecutive line pieces and being rewarded for our faith

Best part of the ATL creeping is seeing SeanPennilessHands trying to make friends with other rival fanbases, including the one that had a player mocking the players on his joke team for missing the playoffs

Like I said earlier today, being a fLames fan is a fate worse than death

Oilers need something from Leon in game 6.

 

[alanschu]

Remember when McDavid had like 18 points in his first 18 games

I remember the media calling the oilers done and mcdavid asking for a trade

for sure. And on a related note. Lol just watched Competitive Tetris the other day on YouTube. Crazy what kids are doing with that game these days.

Somebody send the water bottle that Zito threw to Calgary, they need the water.

One way or the other, it’s the final home game at Rogers Friday.

Don’t care how, just win it.

This is the amazing part. We have maximized the number of games in this city. Regardless of outcome, this team has proven so many people wrong. What’s great is that there is no reason we can’t make a similar run next year.

Stressful as hell, but really starting to look like we've turned a corner and figured out how to get past Bob. Wish we would either run him as much as they're running Skinner, or take Bennett's head off though. Insane that the panel didn't even talk about that dirty dirty knee on knee by him on Skinner WELL away from the play. Should be a 3 game suspension at least, but I already know the NHL isn't even going to look at it.

5 and a game if Kane made the exact same play

Absolutely. My feeling is that Seravalli is right, a lot of the better support guys will be back and they'll have a shiny new Draisaitl extension as well

 

[Emotive]

Oilers need something from Leon in game 6.

He's 110% playing through an injury so don't expect much more than what we've got so far

 

[guymez]

I am willing to bet almost every player is playing with an injury.
He needs to step up regardless. Even in a small way.

Leon is usually his best in game 6s especially at home.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Was Draisaitl hobbling getting into the bench during that uncalled too many men? My buddy said he looked like he couldn't get over the boards and that kinda caused it.

 

[guymez]

Leon is usually his best in game 6s especially at home.

Here's hoping that trend continues. The team needs him.

Yessss. And I think we’ll hear from Drai before this series is done. McD has taken over and won games for us, Drai will have his game too. Likely in Game 6, a dominant performance to power us to Game 7.

Connor Brown?

Lol

Crazy. Saw Perry hiding out by by he benches too and the Cats didn’t even catch him coming up on the play. Great read by Nursey and great veteran awareness by Perry.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Holy f***ing shit boys

 

[Sniper99]

Great win, man that main board is awfully quiet.

 

[TheNumber4]

Disbelief is spreading in Panthers land. Many think it’s over for the Cats.

Next 3 days spread that disbelief anywhere you can. Sow discontent and disbelief. Alts are easy to make on reddit and Twitter btw.

 

[Louis Cypher]

Give McDavid the cup and the Conn Smythe already!

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Looks like McDavid's expression after he scored the empty netter.

 

[Louis Cypher]

McDavid will be winning the Conn Smythe regardless...

He better!

I'm not going to get cocky but it's nice to see their fans show the same doubt and despair we were after being down 3-0.

Yeh I’m enjoying seeing it lol. Especially since the Cats were so cocky pre-series. f***in GuStAV Forsling PUH LEASE.
