Post-Game Talk: Built. Different.

[Drivesaitl]

I was worried about @Drivesaitl having a heart attack or perhaps filling his pants with shitte when Skinner casually played the puck deftly with one hand on stick!

haha. I was completely calm before, during game, and during OT. feels inevitable this year.

Oilers have won every OT game this postseason. Now at 4-0. Oilers are so good to begin with but when any team shows that kind of OT runs as well they end up winning cup.

That said Skinners first misplay on a puck in first 40secs had me rolling eyes.

Maybe I'm smoking a little of how Vegas and Dallas went down but the Oilers just took over. Gonna be real hard for Florida to find traction if Oilers close out the homestand here. Team over there is nursing some injuries and we're healthier this year.

And when looking at the Ice time Oilers least iced player had 5-7 more minutes than Floridas whole third line. Look what that did to the Kings in the first round...

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

So.. is that what it looks like when Barkov shuts down McDavid?

They forgot about drai lol. Drai being healthy is a big problem for Florida

What happened to Tkachuk and his rat shit? Buddy was a ghost out there tonight with Kane shadowing him.

I didn't want to jinx anything or wake him up so I never mentioned it despite noticing (or not noticing I guess) him, and how...pedestrian his game was. Hardly heard his name all night

 

[syz]

Shout outs to the crowd tonight for winding up hits on forechecks too lol. Hilarious seeing Kane or Podkolzin closing in on somebody and the crowd gradually getting louder and louder the closer they get. Was like they were very slowly watching a goal unfold.

Oilers outshot the Panthers 24-8 in the 3rd and OT.

When it mattered most the Oilers had what it took to put the pressure on Florda and win the game... they dug the f*** in and took that game from the Panthers.

 

[Navx94]

God damn Stu needs to be better come on… WAKE UP.

 

[soothsayer]

Ekblad wasn’t pulling his tough guy shit either

Maybe Deca-blad is off the sauce and not as angry these days.

Reminded me of Game 4 vs LA

 

[RegDunlop]

Kapanen hits the way Peca hit. I can’t explain it- but it’s such a heavy hit.

I am a huge Kap fan.... but I think I have to disagree.... Mike Peca was a runaway train looking to derail...anywhere. He hurt people. Funny it's Kapanen that's reminds you of him...for me it's Podkolzin.

 

[Navx94]

1 win doesn’t matter unless you win 2.. win 3… 4. That’s how the team is sounding and that’s a great thing.

 

[dem]

The teams attitude has shifted big time this playoffs. They are just carrying themselves differently.

Connor and Ek barely celebrated that goal.

On the OT winner Draisaitl kept it cool. Another goal. Another win. Jobs not done.

 

[The Nuge]

I thought Brown and Frederic were not good. Skinner should be in next game

Brown deserves a pass considering he’s been out. Frederic needs to be better

 

[syz]

Team is better at 5 on 5 this year but I'm slightly concerned at how prison rules things already were in game 1. By game 5 or 6 the Panthers are gonna be able to just treat McDavid like he's a dogsled by the 3rd period.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

God damn Stu needs to be better come on… WAKE UP.

I’m not a big Skinner fan but come on. He did wake up…

 

[Another Empty Netter]

Ekblad will be seeing 91 and 92 coming in his sleep

I just rewatched Kane’s hit like 7 times in a row

 

[The Nuge]

So.. is that what it looks like when Barkov shuts down McDavid?

That narrative was stupid anyways. He didn’t shut down McDrai. Bob did. Florida doesn’t win the cup last year with any other goalie in net

 

[McAsuno]

lolol

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

If Frederic scored on that one chance we’d probably all be happy with him. But yeah he’s looking maybe a little overwhelmed

 

[dustrock]

IIRC The Athletic had the Panthers heavily favoured last year. This year without the Hyman injury it was going to be basically 50/50 but Zach being hurt gives the edge to Florida.

They did say, though Florida's forecheck is super aggressive and a large reason for their success, that this year they haven't faced a D corps that can move the puck as well as the Oilers.

I think we need to have as many puck movers on D as we can. I think Klingberg got better and in the 3rd and OT, couple of troubling moments aside, the breakouts were probably better than last year

 

[Oilhawks]

POMO really leaning on his top 3 d men. Those guys are going to be absolutely gassed

Also, basically not playing his 4th line. Under 10 minutes with almost 4 full periods is pathetic.

 

[Dirk Dangler]

Maybe Deca-blad is off the sauce and not as angry these days.

He should change his number to tren.

 

[Oilhawks]

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

They absolutely should re-sign if he wants to come back for around a mil

This is how my dog acts when someone is at the door

Podz laid some hits ? I was listening to radio
