Imagine having Trouba and Gudas on the same team.. Lmaoooo Big hits galore

Panthers should have a bridge in their logos because they’re trolls and I love it.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

I wish Anaheim had aggression like Florida. We just have nobody like that at all. Everyone is just buzzing out there

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Rico out with an LBI.

 

[JAHV]

That's a terrible goal to give up. I can't believe Silovs is still in there.

Gloriously epic meltdown by Edmonton. Skinner is ass

 

[Rybread86]

Wow, EDM is shitting the bed right now

 

[Deuce22]

Gloriously epic meltdown by Edmonton. Skinner is ass

Kesler's fault, I'm sure.

 

[duckaroosky]

That was wonderful to watch

Having a two goal lead and then giving up the next three goals is a brutal way to lose a playoff game.

Well, when you put it like that, it’s not so bad….because Edmonton actually had a 4-1 lead late in the second period

I believe it was a 3 goal lead. I opened the app and was like naaaah, not gonna watch it. Then checked right at the end was like wtf

Did they? I guess I lost count in the order of the goals. That’s what happens when you watch the game with one eye and try to surf the net with the other.

Ok, it’s uber brutal to have a three goal lead and then give up the next four to lose a playoff game.

I think Skinner did the same

Also, of all the bad Ken Holland has done, his Darnell Nurse contract negotiation may only be topped by the Jack Campbell deal. Unfathomable that that man has the 5th highest cap hit among defensemen in the entire league.

I wonder how Corey Perry felt being on the other side of that.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Sheldon Keefe has been relieved of his duties as Leafs HC. Will be interesting to see what other major moves come up there

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

I’ll take heat for it, but I would rather have Keefe than Cronin lmao

 

[2faded]

What an epic meltdown. Against Van's terrible goalie, they put up one SOG during the VAN comeback. Seven SOG through two periods.

But as epic as the meltdown was, it's not a good sign for VAN that they needed a miracle comeback to win game 1 at home. That's probably not happening again.

McDavid was also terrible. That's probably not happening again either unless he's hurt.

 

[JAHV]

Draisaitl might be hurt at well. They kept talking about it on last night's broadcast. He left the bench for a while and when he came back, he was noticeably disengaged.

I think we owe Cronin one more year.. Without injuries..

 

[HanSolo]

Just wanted to add in that Edmonton failed to register a single shot on goal for 22 straight minutes while Vancouver was mounting its comeback.

Also, of all the bad Ken Holland has done, his Darnell Nurse contract negotiation may only be topped by the Jack Campbell deal. Unfathomable that that man has the 5th highest cap hit among defensemen in the entire league.

I got a lot of amusement watching the same fanbase that tried to spin that contract as a good thing spend most of last night collectively moaning and groaning about how awful Nurse is. Took them a while but they got there.

 

[Bender66]

That's a terrible goal to give up. I can't believe Silovs is still in there.

I think that's indictment how much confidence Tock has in DeSmith

Cramps and equipment issues.

Kris Knoblauch: Leon Draisaitl dealt with cramps, equipment issues in Game 1 | TSN

Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch says cramping and equipment issues were the reasons for forward Leon Draisaitl's decreased minutes in Wednesday's 5-4 loss in Game 1 to the Vancouver Canucks.

Don't ask me how his equipment causes injuries but maybe we should look into it. Maybe that's our problem too.

We exorcizing the curse that quickly?
