Around the League Thread | The Off-Season Begins!

[TruGr1t]

McDavid with one goal for the series, and two points in the last four games, including being completely shut out on the scoresheet in two of them.

Kane lol

This outcome is the only thing that has made suffering through back-to-back years of Canadian media hypocrisy/insanity, and being told by the clueless to cheer for our top rival, worth it.

(That said, they will still be the odds-on favorites to win at the start of next year. )

 

[tantalum]

You knew Kane would be the asshole.

Class act like the rest of the organization.

 

[DimitriL07]

We rest my friends we rest.

 

[StickShift]

Can Evander Kane just f*** off from the league already?

 

[Jack Burton]

Hey Edmonton, their singing

The ding dongs on HalBro this morning we’re actually talking about the possibility of him winning another Conn Smythe even in a loss.

That’s an absolute absurd take.

Holy shit the Panthers fans rubbed it in, I am dying here

Typical in deciding games. Unless it’s a high stick, puck over glass or blatant elimination of a scoring chance nothing will get called.

Except they even ignored the highsticks

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

There's the nanana chant!

 

[Flik]

They should be singing La Bamba tbh

 

[Soups On]

Love to see Edmonton lose here. Would like to see one of the greatest players to play the game eventually win - but not with that shit organization that was gifted so much.

And Evan Bouchard... I never wanna hear anyone comment on how good he is. So lazy defensively. A worse skating and better shooting Tyson Barrie change my mind.

Can't wait too see the interviews lol refs beat us lol

Oilers PK+PP=92.5 this year

Last year 123.6..which was not likely to ever happen again.

True but I think the bigger issue is that last season they went heavy collapse to the net. This year they played it looser which I think is a mistake because they don't have the players, culture, or structure to flip the switch and defend at a playoff level.

Like many of the goals they gave up in the last three games were 5v5.

Add in that their goalies basically need them to insulate them heavily and this was entirely predictable.

I also have issues with their coaching, last year Knoblauch basically pulled a trump by creating his own issues by putting nurse and Ceci together and then solving them by reversing course and splitting them up again. Vegas had to change their tactics to successfully break the Panthers pressure, this is two straight years where Edmonton failed to do so.

You can also see the bottom 6 has basically failed to show up in the last three games or so and has very low energy AND haven't played defence. That's a motivation issue from the coach.

Despite having Mcdrai you need the rest of your team to play their parts, especially when Florida is better in every other aspect.

Media kept insisting he was going to show up in this series and takeover a couple games, instead he got worse as it went on.

Barkov is the best defensive forward in the league, he didn't just win back to back Selke's for nothing. Sacrifice goal scoring just to shutdown the best player in the league? Heck, he should win Conn Smythe.

Listening to the Oilers post game show will be fun tonight.
