Post-Game Talk: 3-0 win

[Rat Trick]

I think he's definitely not at 100%. I don't think he was ever really at 100% this season, tbh.

Yeah I think the last year's injury still takes a toll. But even still, he is a ppg player in these playoffs, could say that's pretty okay.

Anyway, great first game, Bob was a monster - just be better next game and he doesn't need to be. We got this, 3 more

Quality of competition and quality of teammates adjusted card (Forsling-Ekblad and Barkov line played mostly against McDavid)

Steve Levi: "Panthers won, but the Oilers dominated the whole game"
That is dishonest at best, at points in the game, especially in the third the Oilers could not get in our zone, even the late 1st was not dictated by the Oilers.

I will characterized the game as a "Managed Chaos" they were scrambling, but with a structure, that is what was required.

One thing that was more evident to me was that we have more space in the offense, because of the way the Oilers play, Tarasenko had room to make plays as well as behind the net, I think we are going to be ok.

Scoring is not going to be a problem, specially, when we already let Skinner know, we got his number.

 

[Two4Fighting]

We were massively outplayed.

Oilers are forechecking us to death. We cannot be outplayed using our own style. We have no backup plan

If you watch the game, without the emotions when watching live, you will see a different game, like you I was convinced that was the case, but rewatching it, gave me a good gauge of good we were, yes, they were the better team, bit we were in control.

I bet you that next game, we will a lot better, adjustments will be made, we, now have a good sample size to adjust.

Ok, real question here. With our salary cap issues, any chance Bill Z trades Bob this offseason? He’d be selling high and could get a lot from a desperate team IMO. I’m not saying he should trade him but we have a lot of UFA’s & RFA’s.

I'd love to have this discussion at some point, but not while we're in the SCF...ask again in three weeks

 

[Two4Fighting]

Not sure what game the rest of you are watching, but I thought we were fine. Oilers had their chances, but didn't feel like they were THAT dangerous. Thought we had some good ozone possession, but clear the oilers are stacking in front of skinner and the middle to prevent cross ice while we're trying to get some puck movement so we aren't just shooting it. Skinner's thing is good at straight on shots, bad at movement.

Only thing is I'd like us to hit McD more, there were a few opportunities and they let up. Gotta keep that up.

That is my assessment, I rewatched the game, and we were actually in control, no more, no less, that when we played the Rangers. We will be fine.

Why would they shut it down? WTF?? Caps just became my most hated team

 

[Cats711]

The rules don’t apply to us :chefskiss:

Same as didn't apply when Bennett was taken out later. Gotta love how they focus on the hit to them and pretend the one they dished out didn't happen.

 

[Gentle Man]

Remember, it's the same fan base that defended and approved the Hendricks hit on Ekblad because Gudbranson laid a clean hit on hall.

"I love the hit by Hendricks, shows we won't be bullied."

Yeah. f*** em

 

[Ghoste]

There was one play I think in the 3rd where Lousty rolled behind their net and I think if he passed it backwards with Skinner moving with him, Lundy probably could have scored.

weird how first line have positive individual defense
but way negative overall team defense, gustavs only one w/ individual defense just slightly bad, why the huge negative?

i get what youre saying, but that is truly scary if we havent seen the oilers best

 

[pb1300]

Edmonton will wear down if they keep playing McDrai together, and for well over 20 minutes a night. We just have to keep them in check, and the rest will work itself out. They have no depth when they play those 2 together.

I so much forgot about ALL that... You just reminded me...

LET THOSE f***ERS BUUUUUUURN !!!!

lol @ washington not wanting people to see how badly they manage the salary cap

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

The league wants the Panthers to win the Cup. Otherwise the refs would've called those stick infractions.

I cant believe Bennett pulled out a gun and shot Mcdavid at center ice. I'm still shaking.

Hahahahhahahahah

Got a warning on the mains since the dumb Oil fans can say stupid shit

Yeah I’ve already lost my “like” privileges. Totally worth it though.

Same with Bouchard. He played 27 mins last night. The next closest defenseman for them was Ekholm at 18:57 of TOI. Good luck sustaining that for 4 games.

The Panthers use a clapping/fan soundboard.

Only 6 of their 12 forwards played over 11:44 lol

Lmao. They’re delusional if they think that’s sustainable. The only thing they have going for them is that extra day between games 2 and 3

Rookie numbers, wait until you hear Rogers Place, in Canada noise is louder!

Cause you know, everything we can do they can do better for Canadian market reasons.

I said you guys are mad Bob carried us a game when Mcdavid carries you every game and that’s “trolling”. Truth hurts I guess.
