Post-Game Talk: Built. Different.

[syz]

The D were largely able to meet the challenge of Florida's forecheck tonight. I thought the only guy who occasionally struggled was Klingberg.

 

[McTedi]

Really starting to like Kapanen. Great game by him. Our depth is so much better this year.

 

[MoontoScott]

Walman and Ekholm were both outstanding tonight.

 

[McShogun99]

Ekblad got absolutely shit kicked tonight.

More is coming baby.

He’s getting the Pietrangelo treatment.

 

[Drivesaitl]

You called it.

I hope this doesn't go 7 because I can't take 6 more of these evenings.

Its worse than a honeymoon.

I'm kind of mystified at this. Our Honeymoon was great. How is a honeymoon anything but fun?

Good sign that we came out with a win in game 1 with all pressure on his to win at home and zero pressure on panthers. I like starting on road better but this team seems mature and ready for any challenge

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

No doubt Skinner held the line in the 2nd. The Oilers rewarded him for his efforts.

A pretty good recipe for success I'd say.

 

[Seth92]

The energy was amazing, people were great, team played insanely well and huge saves and big plays and with that said

THREE MORE!

 

[Mr Positive]

It felt like thr Panthers threw everything at the Oilers this game and that's why they faded in OT. Bodes well for the series going forward.

 

[walktheboulavard]

So many players showed up. I am proud of this squad. There were moments that had you thinking Oilers will win the series even if they had dropped this game.

KAP DESERVES A PROMOTION. KEEP PURRY ON PP OBVS BUT HE CANT CUT IT AT 5on5. AS LONG AS WE CLEAN UP OUR DUMB RIM LONG BOMB BREAKOUT WE CAN DO THIS. THEY HEMMED US IN A BUNCH WITH THEIR HEAVY FORESKIN BUT WE DIDNT GIVE UP TOO MUCH DURING THOSE PERIODS. LFG

 

[tiger_80]

Perry is a ****ing legend though.

Podkolzin and Kapanen also had a very strong game. I hope they keep both.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Kane and Drai healthy this year is a problem for Florida

 

[MoontoScott]

A lot of cardiac action in the evening and sometimes it goes into overtime.

 

[La Bamba]

Really starting to like Kapanen. Great game by him. Our depth is so much better this year.

Kapanen right now looks like what I always wanted Ryan McLeod to be

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Eh I thought Kulak was the worst dman.

 

[Cloned]

These are two heavyweight teams. Oilers won one round, three to go.

 

[nexttothemoon]

I'd like Stecher in the lineup... but I don't know who I'd take out.. the 6 dmen they have in are doing a pretty solid job overall.

 

[McShogun99]

I said it before but Oilers are uncanny at breaking the trends.

Florida is elite at holding the lead. This win just sent a message to them that leads aren’t safe anymore.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Depth guys had another great game, Kapanen, Podkolzin, Arvidsson, Brown. This team.

 

[Mav3rick07]

The reverse jinx worked to perfection.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Still, Panthers can nab home ice advantage with a win next game so the pressure is never off

I know, but Panthers like the Knights rarely allow a club to come from behind to Win and so its huge in breaking their confidence. You could see they figured they could melt the clock in third period, huge mistake, and frankly Panthers were worked in 3rd period and OT. They barely got anything after the Oilers got into their game.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

 

[tiger_80]

Seeds of doubt for Fltirida

Did Walman walled Marchand or Bennett in the first period?

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

I'm not sure how much of my lifespan I lost watching that. But worth!
