Sorry to quote myself, this is where the idea of what "forechecking" is gets lost. Guys like Nuge and McLeod get grief because they don't blows guys up, but that's not always the point, getting the puck and disrupting the defensive players is the key. Hence the game 1 winning goal.
Nope that chant is reserved for the fourth win this series. Never before it’s a lock to make the finals. We are not the leafs “we want Florida” lol
Playoff Leon is my favorite Leon
I wouldnt change a thing until the team loses. Then Henriques gets more time to rest as well.
Oilers fans chanted it in 06 and I’m pretty sure they didn’t wait until the finals. It’s coming man and personally it pumps me up
I can’t recal 06. And I don’t attend games in person so it makes no impact on me as an individual, but it just seems presumptuous and douchey and demanding, something they would do in Toronto and Calgary. I’m more organic in approach I guess.
At some point every single fanbase chants ‘we want the cup’ as they advance further down the playoff road. Totally natural, I mean it’s what we want, why not express it. It’s different than chanting ‘we want FLA’. That came from a place of weakness, not confidence.
Yeah I just usually default to "fans in the crowd being excited is fine." Everyone here wants the cup too so I see more as encouraging the team to keep pressing to achieve that (no doubt they all want the cup as well).
Presumably since that shot?
It's not verified or disclosed but they were speculating about it on the telecast when they showed his finger taped up.
Oh so he was seen with his finger wrapped. Hmm k. Hopefully won’t effect him too much.Presumably since that shot?
I'm not sure if it is broken, but he was shown coming off the plane with his finger wrapped. Whether contusion, sprain, or break, seems like it has impacted him in things like the Faceoff circle etc.
Fortunately he is Leon so he still scores goals
Hmm damn k. Thanks. Hope he’ll be fine
Imagine having four different teams avatars in the past 6 weeks. Lol.
They are supposedly the deepest team in the league. And that may well be true on paper. But Most of their top players are not in their prime. Either too old (Suter, Pavelski, Benn) or too young (Johnston). Seguin, Duchene, Tanev are also in their 30s and not as good as they used to be. Hintz is hurt. So that's the team the Oilers can beat.
That would be worse than Dallas' "we deserve it" slogan
They are deep because they put Seguin-Benn line as the 3rd line on paper.
He lost 21 faceoffs last night... it is a bit busted alright.
Yup. We “want” is just begging. Be a boss and say we’re here to take cups and anything else you value.
I would rather go with a "we are not worthy" chant after every win.
