Behind the scenes in the Oilers locker room immediately after losing game 7

[TheNumber4]

Well, that's what it looks like when an arrogant team acts as though the cup was theirs to lose, and then gets reminded that other teams actually have a say in the matter. Good to see them get humbled so... and same with that fanbase.

Lol humbled. 99.9% of the Oilers fans cockiness, predictions, belief in their team was proven during the 2024 playoff run until the final game. I don’t care or remember what some Nucks fan take was during the playoffs, but but I bet 99% of your hopes and beliefs and predictions went into the shitter during your playoffs. Can look right at Petey no showing and his team getting eliminated by the “cocky” Oilers for an example.

Passion and heart, throw in the smartest fanbase in the league and its easy to see why people love bandwagoning the oilers

Smartest and most passionate. And it’s not even a debate.

I know how I felt and yeah I would have to imagine they would be feeling a hell of a lot worse.
There were some guys on Florida I was happy to see win the cup so it kind of took out the sting a bit

Weird to see some fan bases laughing that will never see the playoffs for years let alone the Stanley cup final

 

[Ceremony]

that must be a process error

i have to think in 2003 with giguere, and hextall and whomever else before that, they made sure during the long handshake period that they knew who the winner was before the guys left the ice so someone could pull the winner aside and make him wait in the tunnel

because yeah, mcdavid has to be a captain there and say f*** it if they talk they talk if they fine me then it costs money

When I watched it I wondered if that voiceover was live to go along with that footage. I know the Conn Smythe winner is told in advance so he's not stuck doing something else when his name's announced so it does seem weird that it played out the way it did.

Still, live or not, you have to say, what a video.

Yes it was “proven” until the most important game possible, where the Oilers choked. Great argument there.

It was “Cup or bust” according to the Oilers, and they chose bust. LOL

It’s not an argument. It’s a statement of fact. Oilers fans right through 99% of playoffs, Oilers haters and morons wrong through 99% of playoffs. Simply just a matter of fact.

 

[shaner8989]

Not an oilers fan but man I respect how much they hated to lose. That’s a group that wanted to win so bad it hurts so bad.

Well, you don’t seem to understand how percentages work (25/26 games played or 15/16 wins needed does not equal 99%), so there goes your “smartest fan base” argument.

Oilers choked the Cup game, no offence from their big guns. Was funny to watch for the rest of us though, no idea where your cockiness is coming from. Just seems embarrassing at this point lol

That boy McDavid is about to go nuclear this year, teammates look like they’re afraid listening to the Smythe announcement lmao

I mean he did go nuclear this year, it's always going to come down to whether or not he has an adequate supporting cast and if they shit their own jocks.

No one smart is going to waste their time doing the actual calculation when 99% was implied to mean “most of it” and not actually be a mathematical equation. Nice “gotcha”, got any more? Did I make a typo yet that you can jump and parade around thinking you are smart?

He was injured all season and could barely shoot the puck.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Yeah, I get he was unhealthy but I don't think he could've performed much better than he did this year in the playoffs.

Regular season for sure though, which could've given the Oilers home ice throughout the playoffs + home ice for game 7 of the Cup Finals

I don’t get your point, you want players to be happy they lost by a goal in game 7 of final.

 

[Schennanigans]

I think what’s more interesting is someone allowed this to even be filmed.

 

[thefutures]

Thank you for this thread

 

[End on a Hinote]

Honestly, I always thought it was crazy, especially after seeing this, that people were shitting on McDavid for not going out to accept the Conn Smythe.

 

[njdevils1982]

I never joked about this...



or this



or any of these....



But whatever.

i still laugh at this

The NHL donated Florida the Cup via biased reffing. The Oilers were bette.

 

[Planetov]

That look on their faces is why they lost, they are defeated, mentally weak. Never going anywhere with that core.

I have no dog in this fight whatsoever, but dude, they were defeated. That look on their faces was because they lost. What exactly about what you watched equated to mental weakness? Sadness?

 

[Sniper99]

Edmonton just a bunch of chokers

If only that were really choking.

Mods do we not know what a bait thread is anymore

Oh, I don't know - someone could report the damn thing.

But sure, just keep firing shots.
