Post-Game Talk: Goalie Bobbed in Game 1

[Frank the Tank]

They outplayed Florida, but the Panthers had a few key saves from Bobrovsky and the Oilers missed too many empty nets on the PP.

Bobrovsky GSAA in the playoffs to date: +4.8

Bobrovsky GSAA in this game: +5.65

Team played a good game.

Yup. Knob adjusts though. I’ll give him that. Let’s hope we see a different look next game

Pray he doesn’t wait till game 3…

 

[Ibanez]

This game felt like karma reversal for game 6 against Dallas

It’s one game. Let’s goooooo

Not even mad. Hat tip to Bob.

And a middle finger to the puck luck gods

You win that game 9/10 times

Flush it. And build

And that’s why series are best of SEVEN. We keep playing like this, and the Ws will come. I’m not worried.

 

[Donnys]

Hard to be mad because they outplayed them so badly. Sometimes that just the way it goes.

Besides Bobrovsky, the panthers played really well pressuring the Oilers with the puck and getting their sticks in the way of passes. They were well prepared.

No doubt they need to get the puck up on Bobrovsky

Teams win 75% of the time when they win game 1. Not sure why people are so confident?

25% of the time time posts like this look really stupid

Ceci man. How has he made it this far...

 

[aspin3]

They need to sit nurse. 2 oilers behind the net with the one panther already amd where does Nurse go? Behind the net. Another minus 2 for Nurse

Ultimately lost for all the reasons we normally lose. Started out thinking ourselves on scoring opportunities/refusing to shoot high (a repetitive common theme for this team - refusing to shoot high until about Game 4 making goalies look good). Also lost because of bullet in the feet airhead plays by two of the dumbest defensemen that I’ve maybe ever seen.

I feel good overall, we were the better team and we’ve done this to ourselves before prior to figuring a goalie out. Knoblauch just needs to do the obvious and split that f***ing odious Nurse - Ceci pair forever. Put Desharnais in for Ceci and play Kulak with Nurse to baby sit him. Not f***ing difficult.

You gonna follow me around all finals cause I hurt your little nucks feelings?

It was a disappointing loss, but after the weeklong preamble about how Florida was far superior I'm not taking it too hard. They looked beatable.

Just one game. Get the split and take it back home to Edmonton.

Bobrovsky tonight.

Foegele and 1 of Nurse or Ceci out. Give me Carrick in a series like this, he'll go hard to the net looking for deflections and rebounds while Foegele tries to play like a fancy Dan. Desharnais needs to come in. The only question is which or Nurse and Ceci do we sit? Ceci is my guess.

 

[iCanada]

Someone needs to ask Knoblauch why we aren't shooting high on Bobrovsky and why Nurse and Ceci are together.

This is a little ridiculous.

 

[sepHF]

The boys played a great game, we were bound to get goalied a couple times this series. The rust definitely showed on our finish

The first 40 was pretty dominant, the third we didn’t get many great looks but even though we lost I found this game encouraging

It’s called watching the game. Seeing the differences between the teams. And not just using stats for your hockey analysis.

 

[booyakasha]

Oilers in 5

 

[McDeepika]

Draisaitl needs to be much better in game 2. Stop holding onto the puck at the blueline and expecting them not to pressure you.

 

[LTIR]

If we were to lose a game this series... better to be a game like this than a shitty performance..

Gotta steal a game in Florida..
Not worried about them in Edmonton... Bob will become 8ob here

 

[Dynamic]

Out of al those chances how da f**k do you not even pot one.

 

[MoontoScott]

Outplayed the Panth-turds by a sizeable margin. Bobby vs the shit sandwich Nurse - Ceci the difference

Right now Bobrovsky looks invincible but the Oilers have to bear down around the net and then they will get a few. They'll look at some game film and find a few answers.

Meantime--Bobby is considered the best in the world for good reason.
