Around the League - Stanley Cup Edition

[Bellefour20]

Short term, I would have preferred the Oilers advance. Long term, I'd like to welcome McDavid to Toronto.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

You hate to see it.

NO WE DONT!!

bye bye. Your art Ross was your Stanley cup.

I think they were satisfied with their season when McDavid hit 100 points.

God knows if one of our big guns did that the narrative surrounding them would be ruthless. Back to back games no less. McDavid will probably escape harsh criticism.

I'm going to make it a point to bring it up on the main board as frequently as possible.

This Powerplay for the Jets probably spells Edmonton's end.

You called it!!

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

McDavid with the turnover, but what the hell was Larsson doing jumping up in the play when the two guys behind him were changing?

 

[IPS]

I feel kind of bad for that Oilers team. They deserved a better fate than getting swept

The team? Yes.
The fanbase? LOL @ them.

They were balls to the wall to get him to 100 when they were locked into 2nd place

Maybe they should have spent those games developing 2 scoring lines driven by their world class centers

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

You called it!!

I was off by a little bit but hey the PP did lead to their demise. McDavid and the Oilers were focused on offense there and whoopsie-daisy, Kyle Connor sneaks in behind them.

 

[BayStBullies]

Thanks for nothing, Oilers.

 

[TopChedder]

Of course the Jets put it all together and if we can advance we play them with players down and hurt.

Could be such a Leafy way to advance.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Sucks that Winnipeg will be rested up for the second round. Leafs will just need to be motivated to end the Habs in 5.

Nah, top heavy and no foundation. Terrible defence.

 

[3blizzard4]

Oilers fans:

McDavid with the Oilers: the best in the world

McDavid when he requests a trade or walks: enjoy this one dimensional player.

 

[BayStBullies]

The reffing has been atrocious. I know shit doesn't get called in OT, but there were some blatant ones that denied scoring chances

And how many times has Draisaitl missed the net???

Man, Nurse tossed it over the glass early and it wasn't called. I've never seen that happen, it's the most automatic call that exists.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

For mcD to lose the game directly on his own TO as he was fresh off the bench.... wow that's ugly.

especially after mocking his teammates for giving up that tying goal, and after the series he had overall. All of a sudden, nobody is going to give a shit about his incredible season anymore

A real stain on what was admittedly a very impressive regular season.

 

[hockeyes]

I'm excited to hear all the Jet tire pumping until the 2nd round starts.

 

[Kiwi]

If that wasn't the most Oiler thing that could happen

I wonder what's more painful?
The decade of darkness or getting your heart ripped out like that

Hopes a real **** sometimes

 

[CanadasTeam]

Their fans certainly don't deserve better. Couldn't be happier to see them eat some humble pie

They'll hang around to root for every team to knock out the Leafs.

This is the downside to this lopsided series. The Jets jock-riding will be unbearable.

 

[3blizzard4]

They have already voted McDavid as the most disappointing player. Without him no one even looks in their direction. Such a horrible fan base.

blame the management. They iced a one line team. Shut down McDavid and you win.

 

[DirkStraun]

They'll hang around to root for every team to knock out the Leafs.

Let them! I'll hang around and root for McDavid to demand a trade out of that garbage team.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Wonder who's going to overpay Barrie in free agency now. He was apparently such a loss for us and was the highest scoring defenseman in the regular season. 1 assist in this series.

 

[Superstar]

Sweep...thanks for laughing at the Tavares injury, LOiLers fans...deserved your karma...funny, I read one of their guys saving further insult on the Leafs and Tavares' injury until the LOilers won a game against the Jets as if being magnanimous...woot, the LOilers didn't win a game, so he could keep his mouth shut.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Man, Nurse tossed it over the glass early and it wasn't called. I've never seen that happen, it's the most automatic call that exists.

Pretty sad and pathetic that the puck over the glass penalty is pretty much the only one that gets called in OT.
