Post-Game Talk: 3 Down, 1 To Go

[voxel]

Last year at this time of year I was in South Dakota. It's not the easiest to pick up games down there if you want to watch on tv. I don't actually even recall for sure but seems like playoffs were over by now.

This year it's on ABC - which is national.

Anyhow, I've only watched the good - game 1,4,5,6. I missed others due to work travel/trip. To me... the Oilers are the much better team lol.

I think my blood pressure is finally getting back to normal this morning

Wow history is being made. I have seen many finals but never anything like this. Congratulations to Edmonton and hoping the job gets finished.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Well that seems to make it clear, what a call to make.

I’ve been watching highlights and post-game pressers/analysis non-stop since last night. I am absolutely wired still…

Watched the Maurice interview, while I enjoy his frustration and understand it he did not say it was a good goal. He said he would not have challenged it with the video he had and he did not know if it was a good goal or not. I can give the guy grief (I actually like the guy don’t shoot me) but I didn’t hear him say it was a good goal unless I missed something.

In general I can’t stand the offsides challenge rule and think it should be eliminated. That has nothing to do with this goal, glad it was there. In future they should look at eliminating that challenge, too many times its a goal scored way after the potential offsides and to me it’s silly.

It didn't make any sense for him to ramble on about the offside challenge like that. He seems totally rattled now.

Catch with Maurice is he's never been a very technical coach. I'm not sure he has many answers if Knob has our guys exposing weaknesses in his group aside from just demanding his players work harder. His amazing game plan with Florida has been to always play with playoff intensity, all year long. Certainly has done a lot for them, and they have a pretty good roster to play with. But we'll see if "try harder" really is enough.

Florida is in a world of hurt. Every series Knobluch takes about 2-3 games to figure out what the opposition is doing and then he adjusts. Once he makes those adjustments (at least up until this point) the opposition has no answer.
Knoblauch should have been Coach of the Year. He has been absolutely brilliant.

Great call. I'm with Maurice though. I wouldn't have had the balls to make that challenge. And I agree that it's one of those things in hockey that leaves a lot of questions after a decision gets made. Offside challenges aren't fun.

But props to the coaching staff, because that goal could've significantly changed the momentum in that game.

What a difference it makes when your coach has complete faith in your penalty kill compared to a coach who doesn’t. That’s what I heard when Maurice said he wouldn’t challenge that.

Okay I'll bite...I asked my 16 year old to explain this to me and he could not. What does this meme mean?

Very ballsy.
It sure helps to have a PK thats at 98% though.

My watch was telling me to calm the f*** down

Ha...I'm glad somebody asked that. I have been like WTF each time I see this.

Well those are 15 wins and you need 16 for the cup.

As for one of them looking different, dunno.

Well that seems to make it clear, what a call to make.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

McDavid 0 points…. Think he’s due

That’s what I’m saying.

One team is

Moral of the story is use white tape.

So in my drunken stupor last night. Ran into Gazdic, went right up to him and “f*** the nucks fans man, you were right f*** them!”

 

[Frank the Tank]

Well... Maurice disagrees because when he looked at small iPad down by his feet it was inconclusive and he wouldn't have challenged that. I know he's playing dumb, but still who are you trying to convince with that argument?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I can't help but wonder if that Game 7 win against Vancouver will give the team some confidence about winning a do or die game in enemy territory.

 

[Frank the Tank]

And use black webbing in your goalie glove.

The CIA apparently

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Flames legend Sam Bennett with the -4 in this game. Ouch.

 

[Burnaby Schmo]

I wanted you all to lose until after Game 6, because I was hurting so bad.

But I wanna witness the comeback, I wanna witness McDavid hoist it, and make hockey the most talked about North American sport for at least a while.

I get goosebumps thinking about how epic it would be, and I hate you guys so much. It's just magic.
