Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[Senscore]

Early lead for Edmonton.


I think this ends tonight

 

[Ouroboros]

Mavrik Bourque finally gets into a game and he takes a high-sticking penalty on his first shift. Not going to win the coach's trust that way.

1-0 Oilers.

 

[Micklebot]

Oettenger pulled, wow...

 

[Micklebot]

Dallas is in shambles barely 8 mins into the game down 3

 

[Emerica]

damn

 

[Senscore]

Holy shit even Jeff Skinner scored

 

[Ouroboros]

The Leafs of Texas.

 

[Norris4Norris]

The Oilers and the Panthers are a cut above the rest of the league.

Toronto might have been the third best overall team in the league. They took the Panthers to 7 whilst the Panthers and the Oilers absolutely demolished the rest of the competition. On the upside we took Toronto to 6 games, next year might bring big things for these Sens.

 

[CanadianHockey]

I don't understand how Dallas has collapsed so badly this series.

 

[Micklebot]

signs of life in Dallas

 

[Senscore]

Oettinger is a good goaltender but he is prone to some real stinker performances

The full on collapsed in game 5 and 7 and barely squeeked out a win in game 6. They are an example of the lamest “took team X to game 7” of all time. A better example is us taking them to 6.

I don’t see them getting past any of the teams in the second round save for maybe Carolina. They are weak and soft, prone to full blown collapse.

He’s still so young for a goalie. A lot of them just start breaking into the league at his age.

But also every goalie in these playoffs had their moments. I think the skill level is so high nowadays it’s hard on goalies.

 

[SanderSen]

All Hail McDavid. 4-2 now

 

[Senscore]

McDavid throwing a little cold water on this comeback

 

[Senscore]

Bells are tolling for the Stars. Down by 2 with under 3 minutes to play

 

[Senscore]

The rematch is on

 

[SanderSen]

And that is all she wrote for Dallas! Go Oilers. Love to see them take out the Panthers now.

 

[CanadianHockey]

Anticlimactic Conference finals. Cup finals should be brutal, punishing hockey. Excited to watch the rematch.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I am starting to really like this McDavid kid. Excited to see what he can do next round.

 

[Ouroboros]

Edmonton gets it done this year.

 

[bicboi64]

Friggen Hell Dallas was so shite that whole series aside from the 3rd period in game 1.

Oilers shutting up every critic (including me).

Hope the finals is a 7 game war

 

[Senscore]

Vengeance is a powerful motivator

 

[PlayOn]

DeBoer said Edmonton is much better than they were last year and I agree. Although I think you could say the same about Florida. It does feel like Edmonton’s year though.

The Oilers have a lot of depth. I think their depth has been overlooked until now. When you can put out a line like the one with Janmark and they can scrub out the other team plus score some goals, it shows a lot of depth. Plus having a healthy Kane who can line with Draisaitl and Perry converting on the PPs make the Oilers difficult to match up against.
