Around Hockey XXV (All Non-Jackets Hockey Talk Here)

If it was against anyone other than this Oilers team I'd agree with you.

I don’t care if it’s Edmonton or the Canadian national team. You can’t win one game in 4 tries with home ice?

Just checking if everyone still feels Ken Holland would have been a bad hire

Watching Sergei circle the drain gives me great pleasure.

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

I am bitter, getting closer to knowing that Sergei shares my pain

Ask after game 7.

I was out tonight and didn't get to watch. Florida is really going to blow this aren't they?

They looked good the first bit of the third period, otherwise they looked like us

 

[MAHJ71]

I can't bleeping believe this.

(grumble, why does game 7 have to be on a worknight, grumble)

I’m in Colorado for a work trip, and the game starts at 6pm here

This is like the Monsters vs Bears series, very interested to see how this one ends. Once the Cats went up 3-0 I wanted them to win in 5 or less just to see Kings cut PLDouchebag at 1/3 his contract and take pleasure in seeing how little teams thought of him on the open market. But now that his lazy ass has been traded screw it...go Oilers.

 

[Jaxs]

Can I change my bet to Oilers in 7? Fla couldn't have played much worse after game 3, unreal.

 

[CharlotteJacket]

I really don't care about either team. I'm just thankful for a game 7. It should be awesome Monday night.

Good for them and their fans

CBJ legend Derrick Brassard announces his retirement today. That Neal fight changed his career but he adapted and ended up playing over 1000 games.

Perhaps the biggest game in nhl history tonight. Game 7, the first game 7 championship game since COVID in any sport. They have the stage, nothing else major is on. It’s on a national audience. You have the wonder kid. You have US vs Canada. And you have the drama of a potential reverse sweep.

Very much looking forward to it

As a Red Sox fan, I loved it when they came from down 3-0 to be the Yankees in the ALCS. I think on that basis alone I'd love to see Edmonton do it on Florida ice tonight.

I still remember the Flyers comeback against the Bruins about fifteen years ago. I don't like the Flyers but having lived in New England for fifteen years I learned to hate their fans and their teams. It was an early playoff series that year but being down 3-0 and winning the series was epic.

But it only mattered and did not simply become a footnote in history because they won game seven. Oilers have to seal the deal tonight or it will be forgotten.

 

[Long Live Lyle]

Pulling for Bob.

Also, less importantly, but until it ends, I’d like to see the Canadian drought go as long as possible. If the Canucks had won in 2011 or the Habs in 2021, then I wouldn’t really have anything against a Canadian team winning this year. Would still be pulling for the Panthers due to Bob though.

Interesting. What has he been doing since he stopped playing? I haven't heard much about him since the Memorial Tournament accident a few years ago. I assume he's been doing some coaching somewhere?

 

[MissADD]

I can't decide if I want the reverse sweep to happen or the Canada can't win the cup to happen.

 

[CBJx614]

I'm rooting for Edmonton, they were my bandwagon team when I was a kid because of the 2006 run. Playing goalie growing up, Roloson was a beast during that run.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Great first.

Note to Florida defensemen - if there are only 4 Oilers in front of you, that means there is an Oiler behind you. If you figure that out, you might win.
