Post-Game Talk: Built. Different.

[Pip]

Brown, Henrique, Frederic not so hot this game.... all the rest of the Oilers were pretty solid overall.

The whole line needs a shake up if Brown is not 100%. To me it lacks identity. It doesn’t score, I don’t trust it defensively and it’s not overly physical. I would be tempted to put Rico with Podkolzin and Arvidsson. I think Henrique would thrive in the time and space they provide. Have a fourth line of Skinner-Janmark-Brown and then swap Skinner and Perry ever other shift.

Damnit, I thought I could finish taking a shit before a goal.

You absolute Muppet. How in the f*** are you not wearing depends during playoff games?



Like me.

Great responses in the scrum by Ekholm. Just one win, flush it and need 3 more. It's going to be a battle. Amen, Viking, amen.

 

[aggressive forecheck]

kapanen deserves a contract. Demonstration of a player finding his groove, giving it his all and he's a right shot. You can see how much fun he's having out there.

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.

There’s a legit argument to be made that, in the playoffs, there isn’t a better dman in the NHL today. He’s that special

 

[FlameChampion]

He's skilled and physical. I thought he was more of a dangling creampuff that they thought might provide some offense on the 4th line in limited minutes. But he's been playing like a mini-Hyman.

Dude clearly wants to be here too. I bet we could sign him for like a mil.

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.

They had the early push in the OT but faded after that. It really was a game of shifting momentum.

I’ll eat a lot of crow on this player. I was not a fan and he’s delivered.

 

[PULSATING]

Wooooooo! Three more to go!

We’re leading a SCF for the first time since 1990.

I was 10 in 06 when I became a fan.

The guterel scream I let out on the OT winner was for little me.

 

[The Nuge]

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.

We REALLY missed him last year too

 

[zoo99]

they play to their potential and they control the game giving them a huge advantage to win games

 

[redgrant]

Zero images of Panthers "watch party". Wonder why?

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Florida when the Oilers don’t get pushed around like the Hurricanes.

 

[FlameChampion]

Bennet looked glazed and dazed by the end.

The juice that Ekblad gave him probably wore off by the third.

 

[Markham30]

3 more fellas. This teams resilience is really something else.

 

[Shizuka]

Man look at all of them.. red faced even 20 minutes after the final whistle. Come on guys!!

 

[MoontoScott]

Dude clearly wants to be here too. I bet we could sign him for like a mil.

A pretty good waiver pick up. And for once, no draft pick.

 

[McDoused]

God damn I love this team. They just never gave up.

Makar descending, Booch in ascendancy. Amazing D for his age.

 

[foshizzle]

Wave after wave wore the Panthers down and it’s only game 1.

In your ****ing face hockey. Bullied them.

This. He said Bennet was breathing heavy on the bench, so was Ekblad. He mentioned a few others.

 

[FlameChampion]

Makes me chuckle thinking of every oiler fan here july 1 saying why the hell did we sign 40 year old perry and give him above minimum

I can’t really believe how great hes been this year. Unreal honestly.

 

[sepHF]

Podkolzin was great tonight, his forecheck caused multiple icings and his pressure caused the delay of game. Hell of a net drive too. Cant believe we got this kid for a 4th

 

[oXo Cube]

All of Bowman's personal additions looking good. We're going to give Walman a fat freaking extension and I am about it.

Underrated part of this game was Skinner intercepting the dump in like 10 times.

100%. I hope Bouch gets the love here he deserves.

They figured that setting up 2 chairs wasn't worth the effort.
