We were all new posters to this site at one time and welcomed to participate so I believe I also need to offer latitude and openness to new members, but I have to say I am super wary of new posters that:
- arrive at odd times of the year (ie 3rd round of the play offs, where ya been all season) and are contrarian to the team right off the hop,
- purport that they are fans of the opposition team in a new 7 game series but spend all their time in this site taking wild swings ,
- or those that show up to argue that Bouchard is a useless hockey player and complain that they are being bullied when people jump all over their, without basis, posts.

Seems like a lot of other team trolls are showing up the deeper the team goes in the playoffs.

Just gonna get more interesting…

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

Ryan’s face off proficiency probably means he stays in.

I think its time to update the avatar after a decade.

I actually have this record lol

I cant like posts but this is amazing.

How goes was Draisaitl last night on both sides of the puck? He made some great defensive plays. Dude is such a gamer in the post season

Who comes out or stays in the lineup probably comes down to who's most banged up. Possibly the only reason Henrique isn't playing yet.

Yesterday afternoon, someone posted a picture of him exiting the plane with that finger in a splint, so you have to assume its broken. It must have happened during the Vancouver series. His shot and faceoffs have been subpar over the last few games, so I'm guessing it happened around game 4 or 5 in the previous series. A bit worrisome. Hopefully he's able to overcome it.

do we know which hand/finger
?

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

I could be wrong here, but did the whole sequence on the GTG start with another failed soft clear off the boards by 73?

No. Bouch and Ek were on the ice and there was no fail soft clear off.

Are you Peter De Boer?

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

It's starting to become a problem!

Didn't happen.

He’s a bottom pair D playing a bit high up the batting order because the Nurse Ceci pair is an utter disaster so you get the odd bad play. He left Seguin unattended as well. For his price point, size and PK ability I’m willing to live with it.

What he alluded to didn't even happen. McDavid made a 'soft' pass to Nuge.

Im' just catching up so this has probably already been straightened out.

That's the illegitimate kid of Kraftwerk and Eddy!

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Are you Peter De Boer?

Yup and if it's right hand this will be much better

Agreed. That will factor into it.

Isn’t that exactly what Adam brings? He’s a 50/50 face off guy. Ryan is old and could, like Perry, benefit from a game off no? I’m thinking Ryan is the least disruptive to the whole lineup coming out. Again, I could easily be wrong, obviously.

He brings more offense than anyone bottom 6.

Best playoff performer since Wayne

No. Bouch and Ek were on the ice and there was no fail soft clear off.

It was Nurse and Desharnais. Bouch and Ek weren't on for any GA last night

That's amazing since McDavid wasn't on the ice for that GA.

Watched it again, it was definitely 73. With 3:38 to go, Seguin is in the corner and gives the puck away to Desharnais who is at the bottom of the circle (Seguin even looks up in frustration because he's sure that puck is heading out) and proceeds to send a soft one touch pass up to the wall towards McLeod who is curling back to the middle. Dallas gets possession back, and no Oiler even touches the puck again until it hits Nurse.

It didn't hit Nurse.

He brings more offense than anyone bottom 6.

Now what if Henrique replaced him in the bottom 6 and we left the top two lines rolling as is?

I seriously felt so bad for Nurse last night. Yet another ridiculous bounce when he was trying to do the right thing. He was instrumental on that 4 min PK though so that made up for it.

Without being too negative, he's tried to "do the right thing" in that way probably a half dozen times this year and dozens of times in his career, and it happens to him nearly exclusively.

He needs to learn that the right thing is to not try and play goalie and not deflect pucks all over the place in net front situations. It's a big problem in his game that too often gets excused away as purely bad luck.

Ya the amount it happens to him isn't a accident anymore. He leads all dmen in tips like that and it's not even close.

 

[Little Fury]

It didn't hit Nurse.

It did. Puck was going wide, Nurse tries to block with his skate (see screenshot below) and he redirects it straight across. Watch the replay and you'll see nurse turn his right skate when the shot comes in. The TNT broadcast and replay has it clear as day.

Yup, really a tough bounce.

Kind of a dumb play though. Let the goalie stop the pucks if you can't get in the way properly.

It was Dadonov who tipped it, it's been widely noted and you'll see it if you watch video instead of a still that doesn't show anything.

I rag on Nurse for how bad he is at blocking shots, and I didn't like how he played this in general, but the puck went off Dadonov's stick which is why he has the first assist on the play.
