Post-Game Talk: Connor Magic!

[midnightcopper]

Connor McDavid now has 121 points in his past 68 playoff games.

All-time in NHL history (playoff points-per-game):
1.84 Gretzky
1.61 Lemieux
1.60 McDavid

And this is the first time the Oilers have won 5 playoff games in a row for 19 years.

It was mentioned on TSN after the game, that the 5 consecutive, come-from-behind wins, is a Stanley Cup playoffs record.

Being very effective in limited time

Man the vitriol this guy took all season long.

Part of the vitriol is because people know how well he can play.

He has shown the ability to ramp his play up in the playoffs which is impressive.

I don’t really understand why he makes as many avoidable mistakes as he does in the regular season.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Klingberg still proving that he is better than Josh Brown.

It’s still crazy that our second line wingers, for a second playoff in a row end up on the 4th line lol

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

I wonder how many other players on their side played sick as well. I hope it’s a virus that already made its way through our team

Twitter is awful Bluesky isn’t… what’s wrong with some of you?

Just even look at this forum. Bluesky embeds load instantly yet the Twitter ones don't load or take as long to appear as the nipples when your teenage ass was trying to watch porn on shoddy dial up.

He fits it a bit better.

lol no one uses Bluesky...the Walmart version of Twitter

That's not my experience, seems like someone got chased off lol.

I'm not on it, although it sounds like it has tighter controls and more rules

it's just a crappier, knock-off version of Twitter, with less people using it

Hopefully they partied hard together and shared the wealth

Emberson only played 6:43. Is Stecher not available?

Emberson has been a minus player in these playoffs for a grand total of 0 games.
I think they trust him on PK more than Stecher. Stecher is apparently healthy and a better player but he is more of what we already have (non gritty puck mover)
Also, you dont change a winning lineup.

 

[Paralyzer]

I think we wil see Ekholm come in for Emberson when he's healthy. At this point, I would leave Klingberg. He's been fitting in very well.

Honestly I don’t know anyone who uses either anymore. I have a Twitter to look at hockey highlights sometimes but it’s too much of a shit hole to use for anything else.

Walmart is the world’s number 1 retailer.

So you don't really know, so it's not that. It's a different option that is much less toxic lol.

Love how that penguin look alike Thomas Drance tried to downplay our victory insinuating alot of Vegas is sick lol. But hurt Vancouver media

That sells a ton of garbage products

his opinion is worthless

Sadly I can’t help but feeling the brass are waiting for Pickard to lose so they can stick Stinky Stu back between the pipes.

Doesn't seem like it, seems like they'll continue with the guy who's winning.

No. That would be Stuart hoping Pickard loses so he can slot back in

 

[MikeS24]

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.

Have we seen Crott since game 3 vs LA? Hope the guy is ok. Just disappeared

 

[GhostfaceWu]

This is probably the apex version of Connor Brown right now. He created like four good chances last night including the goal and toe dragged multiple times past Vegas defenders. That was about as perfect a game they could have played outside of the dumb penalty from nuge and the subsequent stone goal that followed.
