Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[PromisedLand]

I just wanna see good hockey. We haven't had a great cup final since 2019.

I thought Avs Vs Bolts was pretty good eventhough it was only 6 games

It was okay. Not horrible. Tampa was on their back foot a lot of that series though hanging on for dear life.

Absolutely dirty elbow by Drai on Barkov. Drai should be suspended IMO. he also left the ice with both his feet when he elbowed barkov

How much you wanna bet the league won't even look at this?

Draisaitl continuing to be his usual p*ssy self.

Loving
- the Boosch Bomb
- McJesus
- Cup or Bust (Go Gene)

Series not over but I thought it would be Panthers in 5 that seems like a possibility

And Drai needs to be suspended minimum 2 games. Clear head shot and he left his feet

I really had no dog in the fight for SCF. I just wanted a good series. but that dirty ass elbow by Draisaitl pissed me off.

Can't believe I am saying this because I hate Florida; but I hope oilers get swept. That was absolutely DISGUSTING by Draisaitl.

Really? I loved it..I hope it goes nuclear next game. I want a cup that's memorable not this. If I wanted this level of entertainment I could get it at a Memorial Cup.

This is shit

LOL at Oilers fans blaming the refs tonight. Yeah, there was a missed 5 on 3, but let's go back to a missed 4 min high stick on McDavid vs Hughes (which changed game 2), or a clear boarding by Henrique (?) on OEL in game 1 in front of the ref

Meanwhile, their players are targeting knees and heads, and may have taken out Florida's best player. I hope Florida celebrates a cup win on Edmonton ice in game 4

That's all they've got. It's obvious they can't run with the Panthers.

If I'm Draisaitl, I keep my head up the next few games.

Hyman with a strong playoff beard

Guy could rock a solid mustache

Kadri would miss the rest of the playoffs for that.

 

[Gabriel426]

Really needs some Marneresque spin o rama giveaways, drop passes and pucks over the boards.

Just shoot the puck, this not juniors.

 

[3blizzard4]

So Drai and Hyman have been sort of invisible in two games so far.

Unless Florida goes after Drai or McDavid on purpose then thats a different story. but then that means oilers will get their PPs which is bad.

I really hope Barkov isn't injured. I absolutely enjoyed Barkov's play. Dude is a machine and probably the best defensive center I've seen since Bergeron in his prime. Players like him should be playing not being injured.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Maurice made great adjustments in this game. Didn’t let the game 1 win fool him in their play.

Florida is looking like they’ve learned from Vegas.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Shutting down Edmonton’s PP was the biggest thing for Florida ..

 

[Gabriel426]

I guess Skinner letting in soft goals is making them not score. At least that’s the logic of our top guys not scoring in the playoffs according to this board.

It has nothing to do with them not shooting the pucks or bad PP.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Oilers in deep shit now.

It is quite traumatic for me to type that out. Devastated. Clearly.

I think they kept him out because they were confident in the win.

I hope.

 

[socko]

Edmonton got goalied in game 1, although I think they made Bob look good by not shooting high. But this game was just a boring mess, style that really benefits Florida. Edmonton can't play this kind of hockey.

I hope.

Looked pretty bad to me when he was speaking to the trainer on the ice. Barkov kept wincing. Thats a bad sign. but I hope you are right.

I love watching Barkov play (except against the Leafs )

Barkov has single handedly killed Oilers' PP and absolutely stumped McDavid line even when its loaded with Hyman-McDavid-Draisaitl

Thats some Dave Keon type hockey by Barkov. It would absolutely SUCK if he can't go for the rest of the series while that dirty pos Drai continues to play

I dont know man. I just want these teams to have a level of passion to win that translates into good entertainment. Bob is the show so far and its just another formality before FL wins.

Throw darts, play some pool and have a drink with the game on in the background kinda series

That was Maurice’s game plan. Slow Edmonton down and make it boring.

Oilers thrive on open, high pace play

 

[BertCorbeau]

Bouchard played 11 mins in the third.. wow

He is good coach. He has all the feathers in his cap except this one. Well deserved, tip the hat. Product of surprise surprise

 

[IPS]

Anyone else think that they take way too much time off between the conference finals and the SCF?

I think it legitimately throws teams out of their rhythm.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Oilers better respond to home cooking or else.

Should be balls to the walls no break.
