I was probably conceived in the back of a Pontiac at the parking lot of Ezzies.

What year were you born because I have to do some math here.

Ezzies in Lloydminster? Asking for a “friend”.

The NHL is so bizarre.

There are countless plays which are penalties as detailed in the rulebook. But there is only one which is called 100% of the time when it occurs, puck over the glass/delay of game.

And they wonder why they are a B tier sport.

So last season, I remember the SCF viewership was the highest its been since 2009 Pittsburgh Detroit.
Game 1 this year, tripled, yes tripled the amount of viewers compared to last years game 1, making it the highest viewed SCF game 1 in over 16 years. The world wants to witness McDavid lift that Trophy

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Does anyone else remember the Campbell Files?



Are we supposed to think things have changed at all since then?

The fact that those emails came out and he didnt lose his job shows how much of a second rate league this is.

Not sure how you're even allowed to gamble on this league.

I agree I think the silly logic is... Okay we can't call 200 penalties a game everytime a little face wash was done. Ok that one was a bit excessive penalty.

Puck over the glass happens maybe once a week. Cut and dry. Not saying I agree but that is the logic I'm sure.

No man, Gary logic says to grow the game in Florida where people are googling on their phone "rules for overtime".

Jasper, that brings back memories. My brother-in-law was a controller for the Four Seasons hotel in Edmonton back in the early 80's. That hotel had an arrangement with the Jasper Park Lodge to provide free lodgings to the management groups of each establishment. My husband and I travelled from Ottawa to Edm to visit them for 2 weeks, my sister was pregnant at the time. We spent a weekend at the Lodge: beautiful rooms, breathtaking scenery and amazing food. We were in one of their cabins, room service was delivered on bicycles. Their lounge was featuring a live band where the lead singer performed amazing impersonations of various singers, including females. He dressed each part and sounded exactly like them. I remember he did ZZ Top, Tina Turner, etc.. He was so good, we went the next night to see them again. That's a place I'd like to visit again.

JPL is a special place. Dad (RIP) and my older brother worked there lots as Stone Masons. I was too young and in School. They Did all the fireplaces in the cabins, a lot of the stone and brickwork(downstairs) in the main lodge. Dad had been working in Jasper since the 50's, was his favorite place to work because he could do 12hrs and then in the evening drop a line in a river or lake and catch trout dinner. JPL were very good to workers and they had better than the Staff accommodations. They had barbecues and everything and put on big fish cookouts and some of the guests would come over for some.

On one of these trips dad was missing mom who at home here in Edmonton and she came up on the bus for a long weekend and that was moi. My parents joked that I liked Jasper so much because I was conceived there. They have pictures.....of the mountains...

We went back most every summer and hiking and fishing and exploring. In the townsite Dad did Stonework of Baxters, of Whistlers Hotel, Tonquin, others. he was proud of his work so would point to all of it.

View from Cosm in LA. Quite the neat venue.

I’ve probably seen over 10 clips from
various players saying the exact same thing, and very few have any connection with the Oilers. Still sort of amazed (not really) that the league just pushed on with their pro Bennett agenda.

I don't know why Knob didn't call over the refs and ask them if they are aware a precident has now been set. The most microscopic of touches equals I fall on goalie.

That needs to be here

I miss Stecher too. The thing is, I cannot trust Nurse - Kulak.. but as you say, who can be taken out?

This game had some good, some bad. Bad would include Nurse - Kulak on the Marchand goal. Connor Brown looked rusty and kind of un-engaged. And holy cow, that Florida forecheck is intense! The Oilers have not faced a club like this yet, this year.

Am I the only one who thought the third Florida goal was offside?

Good is the club's resiliency, as usual. Got a little lucky to get that PP in overtime, but they were pretty dominant in overtime anyway.

You aren't the only one who thought that goal might be offside.

 

[Cloned]

This might be the best thing I’ve ever seen. You can scope it 360.

One of the fastest reviews we have seen too. McCauley went in with the sole purpose of looking for an excuse to justify the goal call and grabbed onto the coincidental skate touch and dropped the head set. Just gross. Thank goodness we still won.

Oilers ended up 4-3 in penalties. They got one in OT.

The tripping on McDavid was a joke. It wasn't even a trip. Nurse deserved a hook on Barkov after he got beat.
Evander deserved a 3rd man for a straight arm

Simultaneously, lots of clutching and grabbing by Fla. They missed a hook on Kappys 2nd breakaway. The interference thing was a joke, he fell into him.


Dude, stop whining. There was a poll for worst fans in NHL. TO came up the most. Oilers were like 3rd.

So please, stop embarrassing us w/ your constant whining

Doesn't there have to be a fight for there to be a third man? There were no fighting penalties or even co-incidentals.

 

[Dirty Mind]

That needs to be here

Absolutely it does. Honestly my first thought seeing that was “I wish we had that here”

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

How weird is it that this wasn't even shown? They show McD's parents every game they attend. Didn't even know Leons parents were there. Is he a footnote?

This is Leon with another monster game scoring half our goals. Telecast didn't mention once, either, that it was his 49th and 50th career playoff goals. For Modern players only Mackinnon is slightly ahead at 53 goals.

Maybe they weren't wearing their lederhosen so they couldn't find them.

Leon is going to take over that active player goal lead on his way to the Conn Smyth.

wtf are with those two to the left of the play just watching the play through their phones.

Bozos.

Enjoyed this summary. To my eye we looked nervous in the first half of the game despite the early goal. To win that game, coming from behind to take the series lead, calm the butterflies and settle into the series, is massive. We know we can be better, the question now is, can Florida?

My only concern is Bennett. A well-timed knee or dirty elbow can change the complexion of this series very quickly and it's not like we can expect the league to do anything but look the other way no matter what happens. Protecting yourself out there is a skill like any other. The boys better remember that.

An hard open ice hit right to the chin on Bennett from Kane can fix that….
Lights out, baby!
