Post-Game Talk: Connoredemption!

Didn't read through all these pages, so not sure if it's already been said, but just want to remind everyone that Dallas left McDavid alone with the puck in front of the net twice in OT. Twice! LOL.

this is the truth

the same cropped or another horrible angle of Bouchard's pass, actually you can't see Nuge's pass or McDavid's shot clearly either

For as much as Dallas D is hyped. They are 100% beatable and give up plenty. They leaked against the Avs and they are leaking against us.

 

[Fishy McScales]

Not sure where to say this but I've been watching some old 80s playoff games on youtube.

Damn Paul Lorieau was a treasure.

 

[McShogun99]

Foegele would be the guy to go. Second lowest EV time only ahead of Ryan who's a more essential PK guy and right-hand face-off option who was 75% in the face-off dot. Oil need Henrique's face-off ability in the line-up especially with Dallas getting their top forward back who hits on a season 56% face-off results. Last night the Stars dominated face-offs 55.7% to 44.3%. Henrique brings a better processor as well to a tightly contested series and better finishing ability.

Knoblauch has favoured goal suppression guys for his bottom six over trying to squeeze out any additional offence. Foegele's speed and forecheck can be strong (when he's engaged) but close, tight series Henrique has more to offer in all three zones, face-offs, and maybe jolting some offence from dormant Line 3 which is being outplayed and outperformed by Line 4.

My guess would be Carrick. It allows Henrique to ease his way back into the lineup on the 4th line without messing up any of the PK rotations.

 

[Canovin]

Is Hintz really back for game 2?

 

[bellagiobob]

 

[Porkleaker]

I’m betting on Ryan but not saying your wrong though.

They'll keep Ryan for the PK alone.

What's his injury. Ribs, back or shoulder? Something other than that?

 

[stewy04]

Call it both ways if they're gonna make soft ass calls. They were shit last night.

Against Florida it will be worse then Vancouver so weird how it depends who you play and where in the country. Florida is very chippy.

Agreed. I know Henrique can Pk but I doubt Knob wants to throw him on it right away. It’s been too good and he’s going to be rusty.

Yeah, it helps us big time that they aren't huge like many of Vancouver's guys were. Not small, but Heiskanen, Harley, Lindell and Tanev average out at about 200lbs. 6'3 average height, but not heavy guys.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Yeah, it's a nice problem to have for once lol. I guess you look at if anyone's banged up and needs a rest and depends on how healed up Henrique is, he will be a little rusty. Tough call.

But the oilers have no depth …. According to Canadian hockey media

It also helps that the Stars have one guy fly the zone(cherry pick) so that if you can get on them, you have a bit of PP because of their choices.

They also aren't as "violent/cheap" as the Nucks blueline either.

 

[Morpheus]

Have you not heard Wrathchild?

I actually have this record lol

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear greasy bibs and adult diapers.

I wonder when adult diapers replaced throwing people on ice flows?

Yeah, seems like the only Dallas guys that play kind of "on the edge" are Benn and Marchment.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Maybe. But I'm not sure they mess with a solid Line 4. Carrick's also a very good right-hand face-off guy who was 63.6% last night along with a physical, greasy game. But moreso I don't see them activating Henrique to play on Line 4. The problem has been Line 3 with no scoring and really not doing anything. McLeod and Ryan can PK so they stay in. Maybe you can cajole some McLeod offence on the wing with centre/wing flexibility to move McLeod and Henrique around on that line. Heck even Ryan can slide between right wing and centre.

Suter too because he is, in the words of Murtaugh, "Too old for this shit" lol

 

[DrDrai]

Anyone else think of these guys when all the fans just were standing there?

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I think Benn is going to be an absolute menace next game.

 

[Porkleaker]

Haha yes, Stars fans have serious issues.

I think Benn is going to be an absolute menace next game.

Kane will need to be a bigger one.

 

[McOilers97]

I think Benn is going to be an absolute menace next game.

I think Evander Kane is ready for the challenge though, if they find themselves out together at various points.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

They'll keep Ryan for the PK alone.

Not a bad idea. I just think overall this would be the least disruptive to the line up and would give Ryan a chance to recharge for the possibility Adam re aggravates his injury like the last game he played. I can safely say my logic is why I will never coach a professional sports team.

 

[Fishy McScales]

He often becomes stupid when he gets angry.

Hopefully no one gets hurt but wouldn't mind seeing him get suspended.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

You know that’s a fair point. Kane really excels at that role.
