yes

I agree but who calls them sweaters? Is that an American thing?

When saying "hockey sweater" Americans think they are demonstrating their knowledge of the game but using the proper term, but they don't realize that most hockey fans switched to saying jerseys many decades ago. Or maybe SVP is just old? I do appreciate that he tries to sell hockey hard on SportsCenter.

To be fair, one of Canada's most beloved children's stories is called "The Hockey Sweater".

Whenever you hear the word sweater I for one certainly dont ever think of piece of clothing with a team logo on it.
A jersey however...that automatically conjures up an image of something sports related.

I’ve talked a lot of shit about Bob over the years but he loves the team maybe more than anyone, can’t ever question his passion and love for the Oilers and Edmonton

My brother is a Flames fan but I think I converted him. Last night he texted me after every goal .

The first message was about a truck load of water. He got to drive to High River for water .

My brother lives in Calgary as well. Huge Flames fan. Hates the Oil. Always chirping. I told him your city has no water and to top that you are building your new arena on the very flood plain that sunk the Dome a few years back. They are such an easy target.

I have re-watched the highlights many times, and I don't know if I am imagining this, but on the first goal, did Draisaitl make a conscious decision to quickly push the puck over the blue line to avoid Holloway or Foegele being offside and then pull it back right away to slow things down and control the play before ultimately making that beautiful saucer pass to Foegele?

Either way a beauty of a goal.

 

[Xelebes]

Just want to say, I was on Whyte watching the game. Fire truck making a call that was likely serious was revving up the siren. And as it was going, Oilers scored that second goal (game winning, apparently). I couldn't help but laughing. It sounded just like a Wambulance. It was awesome.

So 2 home W's in a row and the Snet broadcast doesn't go back to Amerrat arena to show us how the Florida fans there are enjoying the games. They were doing that constantly when Panthers were winning.

Interesting editorial decisions.

Maybe the NHL doesn't want you to see that theres hardly any watch party left in Florida, probably isn't.

Wonder if theres as many Oiler fans in the stands on Monday. Fill that rink up Canada!

If they did that for Florida , it'd just be shots of an open field

So much of the hockey world is trying to figure out what happened to the 3-0 lead. The 3-0 lead was always a mirage. We dominated the Cats with the exact gameplan we needed in Game 1. We just couldn’t execute on the rush and hadn’t yet emphasized how to best Bob.

Lol apparently he was as sauced as the rest of us too.

f*** yeah.

Man my head hurts. Don't think I've ever had as much fun just randomly walking around high fiving people before.

Agreed. We definitely didn’t play that badly to be down 3-0 in the series. I thought we should have had a 2-1 lead in the series or at least 1-2 as we vastly outplayed Florida in that first game as well as in game 3 to a lesser extent (We just managed to collapse for a few minutes in Game 3, with Florida capitalizing on nearly every scoring chance they had).

Anyone who has been watching this series from start to finish can see that we are the better team. Hopefully the better team raises the cup on Monday

Yes. I really wonder wtf hockey analysts actually do. It’s like they just use surface stats and make a call that can be backed by stats. None of them seem to be able to read game stories outside of stats. Watching games 1-3 and it should have been obvious this wasn’t a 3-0 sweep type series.

That is definitely Frank Seravelli with him at the end there too haha

Has anyone clipped Jack’s radio call to the video for the final 90 seconds or so yet? I love watching those.

Edit: disregard, of course it’s on Jack’s twitter account. Duh!

 

[TheNumber4]

Just about to rewatch the game sober and without the distractions of the confirmed BEST fans in Hockey.

This “best fans” narrative I heard pushed by Rishaugh today on GYB. Rishaugh said every market in the League will say we have the best fans in the League.

I’ve always known this, but it’s time to push this narrative hard now that we’ve shown the hockey world who we are.

BEST FANS IN HOCKEY CONFIRMED. The mains should hear about this for years.

Here it is anyway and it's glorious

Because of work, I was listening to the radio online instead of watching. It is somehow both less and more stressful.

 

[iCanada]

Biz has been obnoxious about it though. Feels disingenuous now that he’s cheering for the Oilers.

It's absolutely disingenuous.

That's his whole schtick. Don't take him too seriously, the whole point is selling being that shorsey style mouth running tough guy for clicks and views as a social media influencer.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Whitney rides with the Oilers of course Biz doesn’t pick ‘em. Now he is having fun soaking in the atmosphere. Not that serious.

Same with that clown RA. Literally hasn't picked the Oilers once in any of the 4 rounds.
