Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

[LeafEgo]

No way in hell the Oilers beat Vegas.

I wouldn't think so, but at this point if they did it's not that shocking anymore.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Av’s comeback in the third and are up 6-4 with just over a minute to go.

That should give the Leafs an extra days rest.

Why

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

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

They were in control of game 4 until they turtled. Even then, Byfield chips it out for a 2 on 1 empty net and it's a 3-1 series lead. They probably would've choked that away, though.

It's funny that they've had the lead in every game lol

Why

Game 7 on Saturday, they likely won't start round 2 series until Monday.

Hoping for a Blues win tomorrow. May give us another day of rest, assuming the NHL wants at least one day between rounds. Plus, starting on Tuesday means a Saturday game 3

Mcdavids danced Doughty so many times. Can't really do much about it.

Also woulda been nice if Klingberg woulda worked out for us

I am trying to figure out if Edm has an extra gear when things get tough, or if LA is just too damn passive?

LA has those Leaf-esque demons

For all of the shit Toronto gets, LA losing to Edmonton for 4 straight years doesn’t get a ton of attention

 

[BertCorbeau]

Ohh Doughty gives LA a glimmer of hope

 

[willmma]

5-4
50 seconds left

 

[BertCorbeau]

Cmon LA

 

[Jojalu]

Good for Brown!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Leaf legend Connor Brown had a game

Good for him

 

[willmma]

Oilers win 6-4

Brown/Hyman

2 goals/5 points combined.

Hmmm

 

[BertCorbeau]

Only 1 game 7 in the first round is lame

Go St Louis!

Kings abandon the game plan that gets them leads and don't really forecheck. Hiller also shortens the bench from the get go and their top players run out of gas in the 3rd as we saw in most of the games.

Oilers can come at you in waves and sometimes cheat for offense. It's on steroids if the opposition is passive like LA has been

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Game 7 Saturday night. I think the Avs will win

They looked really good tonight.

Maybe because they have an old core that's already won multiple Stanley cups. They arguably shouldn't even be in the playoffs all these years and played a much better team. Leafs situation is completely different. Let's hope they can do something against Florida

Anyone that watched the Leafs play at LA late in the season is not surprised by the result of the series with Edmonton. A lot of us called it then.

Thankfully Vegas ain't LA. They got some answers to McDavid/Drai that LA just doesn't have.

Gotta say, the Oilers goal horn and song are dynamite. The atmosphere in there gets electrifying.
