I'm not watching much of the games because once the Jets are out i don't really care anymore but i have to give the Oilers credit , they were dead and buried by November this season and they fired their coach and are now 1 win away from the Cup final........ But i still f***ing despise that team.

NHL draws peanuts in the state’s regardless of who is playing!

Ratings have mostly been up this season. Even a Colorado-Winnipeg Game 1 got the largest audience on ESPN2 for hockey ever.

There you go with facts and stats again!

It would be interesting if the DeBoer led Stars fall to the Oilers and then the Oilers go on to beat the Maurice led Panthers. Echos of 2017-18 when the DeBoer led Sharks fell to Vegas and then Vegas went on to beat the Maurice and the Jets...

Wow the Oilers whining about the refs worked ... how in the hell is this roughing.
I could swear that the guy who retaliates always gets the penalty unless its McDavid.
This is a joke.

Yup. That’s clearly only a penalty on McWhiner.

Yet down to 4 teams, looking at the ratings posted in the Business of Hockey the Oilers-Stars series has better North American viewer rating than the league's apparently most valuable franchise in the playoffs, because of Canadian numbers.

He has been a train wreck in this series. That contract is going to look awful in a few years

I bet there are Rangers fans that would trade him back to us for Pionk straight up just for the contracts alone. Gain 3M of cap and it's only for one year vs two

He has been a train wreck in this series. That contract is going to look awful in a few years

He only has two years left

 

[bustamente]

He only has two years left

My bad for some reason I thought he still had four years left on it.

Yeah, it's hard to believe that was a 7 year deal and it's almost up. Time flies

 

[gojetsgo]

expected a doozy and got a snoozy

 

[bustamente]

Rangers high powered forwards are letting them down again tonight, full marks to the Panthers so far.

 

[Daximus]

It's kinda funny that both Trouba and Pionk draw the ire of their fan bases. Maybe that trade wasn't so bad for us after all. We got Heinola and we aren't on the hook for that cap hit.

I don’t care how many Vezina’s Helly wins… all I know is that in these playoff games there is a save or two every single game that I know there would have been no way Helly would have made those saves.

 

[bustamente]

Full marks to the Panthers and Maurice, they have to be the odds on favorites to win the SC

 

[cbcwpg]

And another Bettman’s Trophy winner bows out.

That team sure reminds me of our 2018 team. Man on man, wear their opponents down...but unlike our 2018 team they didn't get into any penalty trouble, and their forwards play heavy game in, game out.

 

[Daximus]

Back to back SCF for PMO now. Makes last year look a lot less like a cinderella run.

The team is deeper than just Tkachuk, Barkov, Ekblad, and Bobrovsky this year. They're a legit good team. They were doing nothing if Tkachuk wasn't doing anything last year.
