Post-Game Talk: Built. Different.

MOOOOOOM the messiers are fighting again...

The moose are loose

 

[Stoneman89]

Florida looked like the better team at times but look at the final stats. That deserve to win o meter has to be stilted

The Panthers did look like the better team at times. But the Oilers were the better team many more times.

 

[Louis Cypher]

100% if we are going to complain about the refs lets shift focus to the linesman, stop kicking people out every faceoff

Seriously Drai gets punted 60% of the time. Wtf

 

[Louis Cypher]

One more, and it was only because they shot the puck over the glass. The refs made it very clear for the last 40 minutes that they would not call a penalty no matter what happened, and that’s a problem. But regardless of that, that goal challenge is an absolute joke that deserves to be called out. Luckily we came back, and it can be moved on from, but that could have been extremely costly

Kulak kicked his foot out. Was it a dive from Bennet? Of course but that is Bennet being Bennet. He is a UFA, would love to get him if we could.

 

[Louis Cypher]

It’s f***ing deserved . You think they should never be held to account?

Not every f***ing 5 minutes like it is on this board. Its embarrassing and so childish. Every team gets jobbed by the Refs. They were actually more than fair after game 2 of the LA series.

 

[Stoneman89]

It looks like Bennet made a trust fall into Skinner but he forgot to catch him. Hence, it's Skinners fault which is why the goal was allowed.

Kind of like a mosh pit where the crowd forgot to catch you?

 

[Louis Cypher]

Is this a real post?

Lose the tinfoil hat dude. They are not out to f*** the Oilers. At least not these playoffs... so far.

The guys bitching about the refs are like serial gamblers. They only talk about their winnings. You never hear them talk about all the money they lost. LOL

I have to say that I think that those idiots are finally getting to acceptance stage.

Seen a lot of Flamer posts on twitter that have unfortunately hit my timeline that lay out how pathetic they are statistically. They're basically the worst team in the league by any kind of success measure since 2005 and are only finally beginning to realize it.

When the fantasy that they always rested easy on for the last 20 years died (we're better than the Oilers lol!) they finally started to see the obvious.

 

[Louis Cypher]

You have to exclude puck over glass penalties. Those are not subjective.

If Perry wasn't careless with his stick we would have had no penalties.

 

[harpoon]

Well whatever. It is the best hockey played. Try to enjoy it a little. Was a great game.

Harpoon: "I really need to call out Drive on something. really anything. So integral. lol

Drive: Wow I'm happy about this game, what a great game!

Harpoon: I'm here to piss on your parade. Stop happy joy

Laughable. It’s a public board. I’m allowed to disagree with your takes on the hockey games. Your little shtick about ‘ooh harpoon needs to call me out on the happiest day of my life because he’s such a downer’ is ridiculous. I’m responding politely. The fact that you don’t like it, and reply with this nonsense instead of actually discussing anything I wrote, is your problem. It’s starting to look like a serious one. Too bad.

 

[Louis Cypher]

I don't even know why they have coaches challenges especially in the cup finals where the situation room should be reviewing every goal anyway. It's not like a goal is scored and then they drop the puck 10 seconds later. They have plenty of time to call down to the officials and tell them to delay the puck drop if they see something

Could you imagine the conspiracy quacks losing it if the situation room calls down to over turn an Oiler goal?

 

[rboomercat90]

This must be that lack of Oilers depth that one guy was talking about on the main boards.

Do you just update the scores page on NHL.com and catch the occasional highlight?

 

[Louis Cypher]

That Game was closer than I liked we need to turn it up a level tomorrow.

 

[Canovin]

Let's hope this time around if McDavid wants to buy drinks and drink them with his buddies, he gets Nurse to buy the drinks instead of buying them himself with his wife

 

[CornKicker]

Frederic is one of those players that goes on streaks. He'll do nothing for 10 games at a time, but then win 3 straight games by himself, then disappear for another 10.

In some respects - that's frustrating and not good enough. But I'll give him credit - even when he's not really going he treads water well.

He's basically a budget version of Johan Franzen that is more physical.

Yesterday I thought we'd his worst game of the playoffs, but even then he wasn't particularly poor. Definitely a number of times where you'd have liked him to bear down and make a better play - but our third line was always going to lose the matchup against the Panthers third line.

One thing though - knowing he comes up huge when he's on - I find it hard to take him out. Particularly since we're at the end of his usual cadence of down games.

id add that if we get to a point where someone needs to take 5 min to beat the breaks off someone (preferably one of their top 4 dmen who play 24+ mins) thats the guy we want to take the penalty, unless you wanna see arvidsson get his head beat in lol

I thought they played better apart for a while.

 

[McShogun99]

My highlight of the game was Selke winner Barkov going fishing on the winning goal.

agree, but to be fair 97 and 29 will make anyone look stupid in that spot. the oilers PP put their D in a complete blender. i think the D closest to teh corner thought perry was 97, there is no reason to put that pressure on perry of all people. they cycle quick passing was a disaster for them and i expect we will see a tighter box and more discipline from them. which is great for bouchbomb time lol

 

[aggressive forecheck]

Barely any contact. He felt a slight contact and went down. Should have gotten 2 minutes for embellishment

Bennett definitely springboards backwards as well. And he's going to do it next game.

The Oilers have to do the same at the other end to Bobrovsky. We will see what the zebras do.

If the Oilers do it then it's an automatic goalie interference penalty. Hyman has done much less then what Bennett did and it's a guarantee those goals get called back.

 

[Cloned]

My highlight of the game was Selke winner Barkov going fishing on the winning goal.

He probably blocks that pass 95% of the time.

But it’s McDavid and he anticipated Barkov overcommitting so slid the puck back across under Barkov’s stick.

That’s the difference between facing McDrai and facing Aho or Matthews.

 

[McBeastMode]

100% agree with everything you said

You guys must hate Florida as much as we do. I really hope the Oilers kill em and end this

There were no "passengers" this game..

 

[CornKicker]

rewatching the OT goal on the break in that rat marchand takes out bouchards legs. slippery play and i hate him cause we are playing him but its a headsup play on the break-in eliminating an option

 

[aggressive forecheck]

Absolutely agree, Knoblauch should have never challenged the play. I was hoping for the best but I knew what to expect.

We got lucky that 2 goal swing didn't bite us in the ass.

If anything I think it was beneficial to the Oil to drag the game out an extra period while gaining the series momentum with the OT win.
