Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

[Gabriel426]

5 goals in the first period between Oilers and Kings.
At one point LA had two goals with three shots.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Big goal by Hintz there. They needed that.

EDM LA is another level. I haven't seen us hit that level of intensity

 

[PROUD PAPA]

All square in Denver.

 

[wingman75]

All square in Denver.

Nope lol

It's the 4th year in a row they met in the playoffs. They absolutely must hate each other

 

[Jojalu]

Edmonton - LA never disappoints

So good.

First 10 mins were insane.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

That’s how you answer that avalanche wave.

 

[Jojalu]

Suddenly Rantanen has 5 points in 5 periods

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Suddenly Rantanen has 5 points in 5 periods

I think I’d get a kick out of Rantanen being the one to end their season.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

This anything but a tight playoff game. Love it!

Can someone pls msg me a Sportsnet stream? All I am getting is ESPN. Will share my source as well in return

 

[BertCorbeau]

LA can’t beat Edmonton apparently

 

[SprDaVE]

LA can’t beat Edmonton apparently

They looked great early in the series but right now they look completely lost. If it wasn't for awful Oilers goaltending they'd get caved

 

[BertCorbeau]

4-2 Oilers

LA caving

 

[BertCorbeau]

Challenging that goal in game 3 was the turning point as LA is letting its demons get to them.

Home ice for them was the key and the second they lost game 5 they were in troubke

 

[BertCorbeau]

5-2 now

When Edmonton gets going they get going

 

[thewave]

5-2 now

When Edmonton gets going they get going

Yeah it's a different level from what I see our guys play. We need to find this to beat FL.

 

[TMLegend]

No way in hell the Oilers beat Vegas.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Yeah it's a different level from what I see our guys play. We need to find this to beat FL.

I disagree and agree… this team gets in trouble when they try to track meet.

I like Berube’s approach in player a tighter checking defensive oriented game.

But when they have the chance and momentum I’d like to see the hammer down. That comes with confidence and experience though.

Edmonton’s success against LA and cup run last year give them the experience that when they get their groove they put the boots to them

Sometimes you need this gear in the transmission to blow by an opponent. When you don't have it and need it to win, you don't win.

 

[BertCorbeau]

LA also looks like they’re running out of gas. Their blue line is thin and their coach is only rely on their top 9. This with aging guys like Kopitar and Doughty.

 

[Jojalu]

Oilers putting up 5 with Mcdavid and Drai havin 1 point is scary

I do agree.

The Leafs seem lack that explosiveness that they used to have.

I fear they cheat for defense so much now thst they overthink a 70/30 play to make a safer choice.

You need balance and confidence that if you decide to go for it, the other 4 guys have your back

 

[PROUD PAPA]

That Avs goal went off 3 stars players and in their net. Without a doubt the flukiest goal I’ve ever seen.
