Post-Game Talk: Connoredemption!

[Cloned]

Oilers haven’t had this type of PK since the Grier/Moreau/Marchant days.

That was also the last time we beat Dallas in the playoffs…

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Huge win guys but it’s one game, need 3 more. Big swings happen all the time game to game, need to keep it going.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

You guys beleive Eklhom?

“Stu has been on fire. Back to his old self?”

Or are you going to scoff at Ekholm and stroke your own ego.

I would believe anything that gorgeous man would say .

Will say, I don't know if the Stars adjusted mid-game or something but the usual suspects on the blue line on this team really started to struggle moving the puck somewhere in the 3rd period and through OT1.

Dallas started with a really fast hard fore check, but it didn't work too well. Oilers where ready

The Oilers have been one of the best defensive teams in the league under Knoblauch, the uneducated posters who have their usual tired Oiler narratives all lined up no matter what refused to acknowledge that then we hear about how it doesn't matter because they shut down popgun offenses in the Kings and Canucks. Well? How about the "deepest team in the league"? Just 1 game so I don't want to go overboard but the Oilers largely stifled the Stars tonight, I honestly didn't expect that but maybe I (we) should have.

The hockey media are manily idiots....Olers can defend and their D are as good as Dallas..they are just ignorant. 3 5v5 goals tonight.

Keep in mind, Dallas loses every game 1. Hope the Oilers can come out strong in g2.

Gotta say, too, that is HUGE for the boys to put that whole bullshit narrative of "never having won a game in the conference final" to rest early in this series.

I don't think they actually care about that but fans and media have been saying it. So now they steal home ice and have a huge opportunity to go up 2-0 in this series. Just a massive, massive, MASSIVE f***ing win.



Also, I love Connor so much. It's not even a man crush. It's pure love. That's our f***ing captain!!!!

Love the confidence in the celly too. Like it was regular game in the middle of November. Like this is what I do don't you forget.

I am just so glad that all those haters wishing on our downfall, lead by none other than Elliot Friedman get to witness their worst night mare come into view.

 

[Zerotonine]

Way to go Skinner, just calm and composed all game. That's all we need bud

The bittom 6 really showed up tonight wowzer

5-1 for Dallas on PP and r only PP was too many men can't make this shit up

 

[WaitingForUser]

I thought Connor Brown had a very strong game.

Skinner was basically spectacular in net as well.

Saved a goal on that back check off the bench . Mad props to Brown tonight

 

[McDoused]

Did I miss anyone?

 

[NeverForget06]

Turns out Tanev isn't Nick Lidstrom after all

 

[bellagiobob]

So what were they even reviewing on that goal? Something Hyman did? How is that even reviewable?

 

[VainGretzky]

Schwartz is so fired.

Someone needs to break into his place and get those photo's he is blackmailing the team with

One of the series lead up questions to Deboer is whether he had watched the great pk work in the Vancouver series. He asked, you mean Edmonton's. Reporter, no, I'm talking about Canucks pk shutting out Edmonton. lol. This kind of hubris never stops. Even the ghost of Nucks must be great...

 

[TheNumber4]

I would believe anything that gorgeous man would say .

Same! No one speaks a better post game presser.

 

[Cloned]

Also I don’t think Connor is ever gonna celebrate a goal again.

 

[TB12]

Hat tip to Mark Stuart, PK coach. What a f***ing legend. He has that PK just humming. Killing off a 4 minute PP to start an OT on fresh ice. Unreal. Great job by him and the PKers. Gave Connor a chance for his hero moment. And Connor f***ing delivers!

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Keep in mind, Dallas loses every game 1. Hope the Oilers can come out strong in g2.

The oilers usually do too...that means nothing at the end of the day.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

He was basically a Staios type in his prime, maybe slightly better. No.3-4 guy. Nice player to have but not the difference maker like Ekholm.

Chips per/60 off the glass definitely lower though .

 

[McOilers97]

Can somebody do a gif of Knoblach walking off the ice after the goal? He looked like a cartoon thief trying to sneak away after the big heist. It was hillarious.

Elmer Fudd in the woods trying to sneak up on Bugs Bunny hahaha.

 

[TheNumber4]

Great part about tonight. It was our depth, it was our PK that bailed McDavid out tonight.

This is how he believes that he can and will win in EDMONTON.

 

[OilerTyler]

Keep in mind, Dallas loses every game 1. Hope the Oilers can come out strong in g2.

To be fair, we're not much better in game 1s.

 

[VainGretzky]

Turns out Tanev isn't Nick Lidstrom after all

Never has been just another Kris Russel which I said earlier this unworthy hype goes all the way back to when he played for the Nucks
