Post-Game Talk: 2 Down, 2 To Go

[Canovin]

It’s not near this simple there are differing degrees of injury… no excuse for fraud bad decision making though he needs to pick it up

I agree. Drai needs to put everything he has into game 6 and possibly game 7

So claim Goodrow ! Lol no cap hit in playoffs.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

The problem is the other guys know exactly what you're gonna do in that situation and I'd really like to see fewer turnovers that lead to extended zone time for the likes of Nurse and Ceci.

Absolutely agree but at the same time I don't trust his judgement to pick his spots using the middle.

He's a coaching nightmare.

I mean I don't mind it, the league might get grumpy grabbing a guy 3 months after the deadline and sticking them in your line up lol

We’d probably forfeit the game for having an ineligible player.

Calgary would get a 3rd round pick too.

Biz called the flames to make the playoffs and finish ahead of the Nucks. He’s overall good for hockey but he makes some bad calls

Bissonette is strange because he clearly has knowledge of the game in the sense of breaking down systems, play on ice, etc.

His analysis of which teams are better than other teams is usually completely out to lunch in every way. Still laugh thinking about how he crowned the Kings as having "the best centre depth in the league" after getting Dubois lol.

Knowledgeable about on ice stuff, equivalent knowledge of causal water cooler fan at everything else.

 

[Renopucker]

They need Dr. Feelgood to come and shoot Leon up with something to get him going for Game 6, he was a liability on the ice last night. They get him contributing, they win this thing.

As stated above, 29 doesn't need to be the huge difference maker, with Holloway, Brown, are Janmark carrying play in up the ice and in the O zone.

Slasha Barkov not so elite defensively when he can’t slash his way to defensive plays.

-4 in last 2 games.

He had a +/- of 0 and had more games with a (-) in this playoff than a (+) even before this series.

Media group think and narrative building is frustrating at the best of times, but this was almost to a new level. Especially "he held Panarin without a point!!" when he wasn't even matched up against Panarin for the most part 5v5.

The narrative about Barkov for year is "soooooooo underrated!" so I think what happens is fans and media go out of their way to shower praise on him to show that they know what they're talking about by not "underrating" him. However, as a result he is now grossly overrated. Great player, don't get me wrong, but the suggestion that he's the best defensive forward since Trottier or was going to casually shut McDavid down is laughable. Didn't even notice him playing last night.

Holy shit. Can we actually do that? lol

He did play in the playoffs haha

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

He had 6 goals lol

 

[Boner Pills]

Woo! Dick squeezing Florida media already off the bandwagon.

f*** YOU CALGARY!

 

[FunkyChicken]

McDavid would reach legendary status if he could pull this off.
Just need to get Draisaitl going.

Panthers don't get to play the "but we should've had a PP" card when their PP is getting outscored by Connor Brown.

In both Game 2 and 5 I was actually happy we were going on the PK. In Game 2 we couldn't do anything, and in 5 we had a run of bad shifts before going down a man. Game 2 didn't go our way, but we took the game over after the goal in Game 5. Even in Game 4, we weren't getting walked on, but again an early PK allowed us to be in a position to set the tone.

Our PK is so lethal, and the Panthers PP is much more docile in pace than their 5v5 attack. Give us a chance to get our feet under us, get some space to get comfortable, and get back in the game. I HATE to potentially jinx it, but our PK is an asset in many ways at the moment. I'd rather defend on the PK than 5v5.

 

[Sniper99]

I was told that Florida wanted to lose Game 4 on purpose to win Game 5 at home?

 

[tardigrade81]

I mean that seems to be the logical conclusion.

Lol. Everyone giving smart analysis. I wanted to contribute

I’ll leave now. See you Friday!

People just make shit up and go with it. Nobody makes such asinine plans.

 

[Messrules11]

Hell of a game from everyone really, keep playing like this and the Cup is coming home to Edmonton.

 

[Nunymare]

Also, holy shit, the ice seemed awful yesterday. I suppose it was an issue for both teams, though, but wow.

 

[WaitingForUser]

Leave to the flames to not listen to Bettman request and make a trade lol

NHL needs to start preparing now for ways to address this ahead of a potential Game 7.

It is not acceptable for the ice to be this bad in a Championship series in the best league in the world. I don't care if the game is being played in the Mojave Desert, find a way to make it better and figure it the f*** out. If their fans have to be a little chilly in the stands then so be it.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Is Drai more broken than he's ever been?

Heard yesterday from TO media that he's dealing with possibly back and hand issues.
Before the game, also heard that the Oil avoided the gentleman's sweep (losing in 5).. Never heard of that BS.

This. If he wakes up, then we should be good. No idea whats going on with his lines
