Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

[keonsbitterness]

Someone in the playoff thread referred to McDrai as the modern equivalent to Gretzky and Lemieux. Funny, I don't recall Mario whining as much as Draisaitl.

Wayne and Mario were both pretty good whiners.

And still looked more imposing shift to shift than our overpaid "franchise" centre.

so now "looking imposing" is good enough? he looked garbage 5 on 5, he was directly at fault for goals against

He was never going to continue shooting 40%

I was convinced that he had some playoff power where he would or so the galaxy brains here told me

 

[Nineteen67]

Let's hope Florida goes to the final so the usual suspects can say we lost to a SC Finalist.

Having an easy series early seems to pay dividends.

 

[Da Mash]

I’m hoping Kessel gets another ring and brings cup to Toronto again and mocks the Toronto media dressed up as a hotdog

Wayne and Mario were both pretty good whiners.

Mario was the biggest whiner in the league for years and years

hOw CaN tHe TwO gReAtEsT pLaYeRs Of AlL TiMe LoSe?!? - Oilers fans


How did Matthews compare in the second round?

McDavid didn't have Marner to set him up back.

Draisaitl didn't have to drag JT around.

Wayne and Mario were both pretty good whiners.

Especially the young Mario

Kevin Bieska said if the Oilers or Vegas we in the east , that they could have been in the Stanley Cup.
Nope the East has goaltending
Veznia winner Vasi
Veznia winner Bob
Before them
Bost Rask
Mont Price

Vegas Hill
Edm ?

The east seems to always have a great goaltenders that we have to solve.

The west except for Fluery I can't think of any others that have been consistent

Binnington was great that 8months.

Any goalies could had won with the Avs last year.

McD is just on another 3 levels compare to the best players in the league. That’s why he masks so many problems for the Oilers. Even Sid and Ovie at their prime didn’t dominate the way McD does.

Wayne and Mario were both pretty good whiners.

it comes with the talent level from the looks of it. Crosby had the baby crying jokes since he joined.

 

[LBloor]

Wish McDavid would just demand a trade already. One of the best of all time just spinning his wheels in that dumpster fire.

Nobody would blame him at this point.

Same for Matthews.

 

[Menzinger]

Oh Chia....

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Damn Heisekenen is so even keel...

 

[HolyCrap]

Damn Heisekenen is so even keel...

Everytime I see or hear his name I think about Heineken beer. Lol

 

[Leaf Rocket]

man oettenginer is showing why people are afraid to face him. he's been stellar.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

holy goalie duel

 

[7even]

Grubauer is going Ultra Instinct

 

[Leaf Rocket]

this game has been surprisingly fun. hintz finally broke it though

 

[Leaf Rocket]

that might be the dagger...

 

[Cleetus]

that was the Dagger 2-0 Dallas

that might be the dagger...

jinx! lol

 

[keonsbitterness]

17 shots isn't gonna cut it.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Gears in my head....Kraken as trade partner...?

17 shots isn't gonna cut it.

Dallas is also just closing them out quite well too. its nothing fancy but they do it. Heisakanen is really something else though.

 

[BigBlu]

Sheesh. Bettman gets his dream outcome.

Vegas, Carolina, Florida, Dallas,…… This is the most southern US Final 4 ever.

 

[MSZ]

Game 1 of Canes/Panthers will be on Thursday night.

 

[Cleetus]

Game 1 of Canes/Panthers will be on Thursday night.

Friday for Dallas/Seattle vs Vegas 8pm EST.

 

[keonsbitterness]

If Oettinger has eight more good ones in him, Dallas has a great chance of closing the deal.
