Post-Game Talk: Built. Different.

Absolute Cinema

Would love to know the decibel level in there

 

[Shizuka]

Yeah, Walman continuing to show his incredible value as a player. I'm frankly stunned, he's been so valuable to this team and absolutely pivotal in this run. Not what I was expecting as a trade deadline acquisition.

 

[ToddMarchant]

Waived pickup Kasperi Kapanen was our best player. What a team.

 

[BlackDogg]

Bennet with such a good interview.

For a maternity ward maybe.

How many times can you say push.

 

[Ibanez]

Jeff skinner in Frederic out

I’m ok with this

 

[Pip]

Credit to Perry for coming in clutch after a rough night

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Skinner confidence meter….growing.

 

[Oilhawks]

Sam Bennett is an absolute plug but the refs love him, so he's effective. Glad to see him sad tonight. Always a fLames scum

 

[Shizuka]

I was too nervous to post during the game.

Now that I'm here, and as Chief Operating Officer of the Skinner Hater's Club, let me just say that he was an absolute rock tonight. He had no chance on any of the goals, and he was dialed in, and gave the team everything they needed tonight.

Overall the team played excellently. If they keep this up, they will get it done.

I love our community here at HF Oil. What a pleasure to experience the ups and downs of this season with you guys.

3 more, brother. THREE MORE. GO OILERS GO!!!!

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

Lots of high heart rates, panting and satisfaction

 

[MoontoScott]

A healthy Drai is a major problem for FLA.

That's probably going to be the difference this time around. Florida's stars are banged up this season.

 

[KCC]

Huge win!

I give him a lot of shit but Stuart Skinner won that game for the Oilers. He was solid!

I'm on him constantly but he has been fantastic since Pickard got hurt. As long as he doesn't turn into AHL level Stu and continues to give his team a chance I will continue to give him his flowers.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

That Perry pass on that winner was low key elite, looked like he was back playing with Getzlaf with that feed

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

4-1 in the last 5 finals games against them.

4-4 overall

 

[The Nuge]

So much for that undefeated while leading after two periods streak.

Here’s Walman for the 20th time

View attachment 1046145

I was disappointed we had to give a first for him. Damn has he ever been worth that and more...

It’s crazy how well management has been able to identify guys who step up in the playoffs. Walman had one career playoff game and his GM paid to get rid of him, and yet, here he is playing like an absolute beast of a top 4 dman, and being an absolute pain in the ass for Florida. Walman, Kulak, Brown, Kapanen Janmark, etc. This team was born for big moments

 

[Drivesaitl]

That OT rush by Booch. Thats some freaking Bobby Orr stuff. just pay the man. Imagine if that was the winner. As good as the Drai winner was if Booch finishes that its alltime legend goal. That he even attempted that and beat everybody just shows how good he is.

You make plays like that and of course its going to make the opponents nervous. Plus that it came out of nowhere. Booch headed against 3 Panthers and goes home free on an end to end rush. Bet they didn't think he could do that.

 

[Tarus]

Tense game, especially after all that bullshit in the first.

This series is gonna be a war

 

[FlameChampion]

Nvm lol

 

[Ritchie Valens]

We’re all up in their kitchen now.

We’re not just in it, we’re renovating that motherf***er.

 

[MoontoScott]

Would love to know the decibel level in there

Apollo launch.

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

Kane was a monster tonight. Huge hits, drove the net on the Ekholm goal, came in and made sure the Cats knew who the alpha really was when they wanted to mess with Drai.

If we compare players to body parts, Kane would be our spine.

He is so vital to the make up to this team, its no wonder the boys had a mediocre regular season without him.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

How much more rest did florida have? Can't remember it's been so long ago.

They eliminated Carolina the night before the Oil dumped Dallas.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Panthers looked absolutely gassed at the end. They're defending fairly well but they're also using a lot of energy to do it. We go up 2-0 and I really like our chances.

 

[Canovin]

That 2 days break will help his wrist

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Game 1 assessment:

Panthers look like the Golden Knights with slightly better goaltending.
