Post-Game Talk: Connoredemption!

[BeanBurrito]

Had to go to work between overtimes so was just listening to the end, saw the replay. Why the hell did they have to review the goal? Refs hoping and praying they could find a reason to call it back?

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Dallas has the depth but we're the STARS amirite

 

[Chet Manley]

Would have sworn the 4th line ate up more minutes then looking at the stats after. They weren't a big threat to score but it was good to see them tilt the ice the right way. Come on Brown make us not care about that cap hit next season!

 

[Ritchie Valens]

McDavid and Draisaitl with their casual 2PPG playoff run and somehow the best Oiler so far has been neither of them.

How high would Bouchard go in a redraft?

Top 3, be lucky if he made it to 5.

 

[TheNumber4]

The McDavid penalty was legit imo but the Oilers not getting a single call outside of too many men when they were handing out penalties for tapping a guy on the ankle is very dumb.

Yes. Obviously a penalty. And refs f***ed us tonight.

And Stu was a stud tonight. Agree?

I liked the addition of Carrick--Too bad Henrique is injured. He was the big add and well--shit happens. Stretcher is there break glass in case of emergency

Yea Carrick has played alright. The bottom 6 has zero finish again all of a sudden so you really just have to watch them away from the puck to see the good they're doing.

Henrique would help that a lot though. Would be nice to have one guy down there who doesn't have stone hands.

I thought maybe they were seeing if Hyman was offside

 

[McOilers97]

I agree if they're gonna review they should look at everything, at minimum Duchene should have gotten 2 min

And honestly, my preference there would just be “play on”.

 

[oXo Cube]

Huge performance from our 4th line tonight. They tilted the ice multiple times

They were very good.

Can't really believe I'm saying this given a lot of my older comments about him, but it would be really hard to justify taking Carrick out of the lineup when Henrique is ready.

 

[Senor Catface]

By the way, I will fight the next person who complains about Drai in the regular season.

[Yablo21]

By far the most corrupt game I've ever watched.

Not as bad as that Makar, non-offside, clearly offside call.

 

[AlbOilFAN]

I

Ekholm took down 2 Stars in D zone to create the final odd man rush. Did anyone notice?

I hope we are not starting game 2 shorthand it, because of that.

 

[PULSATING]

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.

He was hoping if he awsn't around when the goal was called back they'd just let the Oilers have it

 

[bellagiobob]

Frank aged another 30 years watching Bouch play tonight.

 

[Senor Catface]

That's going to be stolen and used as toilet paper on Hastings in days.

Interesting thatbit was only two years ago here where many wanted to trade him and even suggested for Ty Smith..but the same crowd that wanted to walk away from Holloway just two months ago.

“Goalie has to be your best penalty killer. And I thought Skinner was really good for them tonight.” - Pete Deboer

 

[Ritchie Valens]

DeBoer giving the Oilers more props in a 30 second sound bite than the shitheads on the panel and Teabag Friedman have through 2 rounds and one game.

 

[gordonhught]

If I had to bet, John Stevenson. I’ve known Skinner since he was 10. We had the same goalie coach. Stevenson is a wizard. Easily one of the best out there, he trained Holtby since he was young as well. Too bad he’s more on the psychology side now.

Good for Stu.

Players and coaches know....the Candian hockey media are hot garbage...Oilers D are as good as Dallas, oilers have depth as well. Total disrespect

 

[oobga]

What a win! Interesting that the panel mentioned that Skinner hired his own goalie coach after getting pulled vs Van, got away from Schwartz, and instantly looks miles better. Great game by him.

Think they said he got his own coach back in Nov when the team as going down the toilet. Working on all kinds of flaws in his style since.

Amazing how both our big money goalies now have their own goalie coaches. Jack Campbell hired Legace and wanted him to come with him to Edmonton.

Why are we still employing Schwartz?

 

[ManOfSteelI]

Going to be a crazy series .

Also consider that this is factoring in all the chances Dallas had on the PP. EV play was in favour of the Oil.

 

[frag2]

all the adv stats guys are praising Bouch and rightfully so.
Yet Nucks fans keep chiming in on their tweets lol. Nucks Series already over yet still can’t get over the fact Bouch severely outplayed Hughes.

“But he plays with Mcdavid”

No shit. Best players get to play with Mcdavid. If Hughes was an Oiler, would be no different.

What is wrong with that fan base?!?
