Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[WillNy29]

Draisaitl is a franchise talent and a top 5 player in tbe league but hes been a ghost since Game 7 vs Canucks

If hes not injured then his play has been horrible these past 7.5 games

excuses; everyone is injured right now

 

[socko]

Messier sure looks small. Wasn't he a power forward in his day?

You're right he isn't a matthews tier player. Have to hold expectations higher than we do for that guy

Draisaitl has been an outright failure with 5 pts in his last 7.67 games.

lol Barkley dropping the F bomb.

He’s hammered. lol.

 

[thewave]

Thats all folks

Tyson hook to the jaw.

These teams taking turns at making it boring. Feels like predetermined winner is in play.

I mean I may have had more than a few but. You know what. These guys are playing with no balls. Yrah this balless hockey.

 

[Trapper]

This guy is doing this shit on purpose, right?


Dude for real! I would probably look like a Hemsworth with makeup! Chris even!

I guess we’ll see if the Oilers are as fake as those things in the finals.

Honestly pretty poorly done too.

Suddenly feel the urgency to Bett99man dot CA

McDavid to leave Oil for Toronto in exchange for some SpinORama meister.

It's a good thing we never kept Evan Rodriguez

Because we all know Mikayev, Gally, Brooks and Joe Thornton was the answer

The concept of power forward changed after Neeley came into the picture

At least Jumbo actually scored a goal in the playoffs. Gally assisted a Montreal goal in OT.

Lindros.

 

[fahad203]

Lindros.

The term power forward was not a thing until Neeley.

Lindros was better. But it was Cam who popularized that term

Just watched the replay of that Rodriguez goal. What the hell was Bouchard doing?

Oil is all F'd up. They ain't winning shit.

Well maybe EDM understands to win you need to take people out. Sounds awful but they may as well crash the net as well if they want it. Such is sports.

He was an animal out there. I loved watching him play.

Technically speaking Esposito should be the first power forward. Yakushev once called him a bear to handle

 

[saffronleaf]

dirty play

There have been a lot over the years. Lindros was built like a brick shithouse

If EDM wants a cup. Take out Bob and Barkov.

 

[wingman75]

dirty play

I don't know how that is not a 5 and a game. Ridiculous. Charging elbow to the head?

These officials are clearly out of their league. Terribly officiated game all around. To kick someone out for that knee was a joke. This is a bigger one.

There will never be another Lindros. Simple as that. Dude was a unit

[BrannigansLaw]

Draisaitl tries to take out Barkov with a dirty charge but plays himself and loses the game for LOilers.

Karma

even worse that they all discussed it first it wasn't just a call made in the moment

Bouchard is modern day Mike Green. Good on pp and getting points. Everything else though
