Post-Game Talk: Connoredemption!

[CycloneSweep]

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.

I think the image of our defence sucking is the negative highlights. When our D makes mistakes they aren’t tiny, they are like that Kulak fumble. Most of the time they are good but when they f*** up it’s real bad.

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

Only one

 

[McRpro]

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…

Moreau wasn't on the team yet.

 

[Sanchez]

Dallas played the cleanest game ever! Skinner was absolutely amazing tonight!! Whole team were great on defense. Let's continue this into game 2!

You son of a bitch, I'm in!

 

[Oildrum]

Stu and the PK earned that win. Great game by those guys especially.

 

[Wreckus]

Already an improvement from the last time we were in the conference final, we won a game!.

 

[alanschu]

Sit down Dallas, f*** I am annoyed of those all time standing nut lickers.

Let's f***ing go!

Dallas played infraction free 80+ minutes, I am amazed!

It's okay it's not like some of the top offensive talent in the league history are capable of forcing teams to take penalties lest they give up good looks....

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Same! No one speaks a better post game presser.

And we saw why you need a beautiful beard like that. Would have smoked his face on the ice without it.

 

[McOilers97]

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

The Dallas Choirboys I was calling them tonight.

 

[tiger_80]

Its moments like this that makes you forget the late 90's.

90s is far away. Nobody remembers those games except as a historical footage. I saw the OIlers lose to Dallas 2:4 in 2003, in a practically futile effort, with Turco clearing every puck and Zubov and Modano killing the Oilers on the PP. But it was such a long time ago, there is no easy connection between that and the current series.

 

[Cloned]

The mains are gonna implode from the fact that the Oilers are actually solid defensively now.

But that’s nothing in comparison to how they’ll react if Skinner actually plays like this all series.

 

[syz]

Careful with this interview, Connor. You question the refs you'll never get another call the rest of the playoffs.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Who the f*** flies Spector with the team.

 

[TB12]

"Working against the steady Tanev.....scores!"

That call made me laugh lol


Anyone got Jack Michaels call of the goal?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Huge, huge win. Massive game by Stu, so happy that he was able to treat this game like a clean sheet after a tough series vs. Vancouver.

 

[Drivesaitl]

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.

This is the kind of analysis we see regarding Tanev: Tough D, rugged jaw....I've actually heard that kind of idiot statement, as if the facial characteristics and him looking tough (he isn't) means he's some sort of great D. he gets caught a fair amount, and he loses a fair amount of puck battles. For his size he should be Ekholm level dominant but not and never really was.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Careful with this interview, Connor. You question the refs you'll never get another call the rest of the playoffs.

He knows. That was perfect.

 

[Cloned]

Moreau wasn't on the team yet.

That general era.

 

[MoontoScott]

I'm back and I feel much more relaxed than I was in overtime.

What was I going to say? Oh ya........

Sweep-Sweep-Sweep.

 

[Duder54]

Man oh man, I don't know if my nerves can handle many more nights like these!

What a win by the Oilers, so glad to see them pull it out in OT!

 

[TheNumber4]

f*** Winnipeg.

Yes, it is f***in hard to win as a small market team. That’s why you morons should realize that Edmonton isn’t your enemy and should be an ally. Jets fans hate the Oilers, f***in dumbasses. No wonder they don’t put butts in the seats for one of the best GM’d teams in the League.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

McDavid: I didn't even feel the high stick. I think he actually came down on it.

That's my captain.

Guess what reporter is standing there like a butt plug and right next to the players interviewing them?
