Post-Game Talk: Connor Magic!

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Winning team had 70% of the 5v5 shots in both games tonight. Edmonton and Carolina as always the corsi kings.

Scoreboard Kings helps too

 

[bellagiobob]

And we await Spec’s dumb question of the day to Pick in 3..2..1.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Pickard is just clutch. Skinner is the opposite.

Considering the ugly goaltending numbers we’re seeing this year, having a goalie that can lock it down in the 3rd is huge.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Imagine hating Connor Brown. Lol.

Imagine cheering for the flames or Canucks.

 

[MessierII]

With goaltending. Thats the big proviso. Pickard is in that place right now where he's probably feeling a bit less pressure because he's been on such a run and really has been excellent all season.

Pickard now 27-11. Outstanding W/L record.

How about that Connor brown. Point per game so far. Another massive goal.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Only could the dumbest of Canucks and Flames fans think Brown was getting pushed the opposite way of the goalie.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

I thought Klingberg was phenomenal tonight. Walman looking great and playoff Brown is unreal.
I was never nervous at all tonight. Even as they went down by 2
Satisfying win

 

[KlefDown]

this is an insane stat, Connor being third fastest to 90 assists as well

 

[Drivesaitl]

Eichel has scored 1 goal in the entire playoffs and has only 10playoff goals his entire career. Lucky to get a SC out of that. The guy is nothingburger from scoring POV in playoffs.

 

[Oilhawks]

Calgary puck literally has GDT for the Oilers lmao

So their team lost tonight. Very sad.

 

[Tarus]

Bouchard gets a lot of flak for his mistakes, but when he's on - he dominates.

Might go down as one of the best playoff performing defensemen in NHL history if he keeps it up too.

 

[Drivesaitl]

How about that Connor brown. Point per game so far. Another massive goal.

Great game from him. Could've been one of 3 stars tonight. Not just for the goal. Made good plays at both ends.

Drive I love you but it's a little early for this. Too soon.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

But not the Connor you think…

This team is somehow more inspiring than last season!

I’ll admit I didn’t have high hopes and expectations for this years oilers based on Regular season play and over reliance on skinner. But seeing Brown, Janmark, and Kane all play the playoffs again like last year has given me new hope.

Brown looking like Peak Pisani
Edit: Pickard looking like peak Roloson

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

I never thought I would LOVE Perry. He just embodies hockey.. I hope he coaches someday because he just belongs in the game.

I have said it before but if you looked up a hockey player it should be a picture of him.

With star D I think you have to look at their best game instead of worst.

Bobby ORR was once -5 in a playoff game in a famous comeback for Habs. They were trailing 5-1 and Montreal won the game 7-5 and Orr was torched all over the ice. Bruins went onto lose the series despite being defending champs and with a legend lineup.

In anycase you pay Booch because this kind of offense from a D comes along for a franchise about every 30yrs if you're lucky. He's phenomenal.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Is Connor brown the modern pisani?

John Druce.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Oilers depth is stupid good.
Klingberg looks like prime klingberg.
Give Connor the con smythe and I'm not talking about Mcdavid.

 

[soothsayer]

View attachment 1031209

50 playoff assists isn't that impressive when you consider he's been in the league for 20 years.

 

[Ibanez]

John Druce.

I had to look him up hehe

 

[jukon]

As dominant a Faceoff performance as you will see on the road.

It helps when Janny takes limited draws, game sheet says he took one? Wow.

 

[MessierII]

Eichel has scored 1 goal in the entire playoffs and has only 10playoff goals his entire career. Lucky to get a SC out of that. The guy is nothingburger from scoring POV in playoffs.

He led the playoffs in scoring when they won the cup

Gordie used to be Mr. Hockey. What’s the modern version? Hockey bro?

 

[soothsayer]

John Druce.

Druce has got the Juice!

 

[Drivesaitl]

Drive I love you but it's a little early for this. Too soon.

I was just kind of amazed by it. he sure has trouble scoring in postseason. Not trying to jink anything for JarJar Binks.
