Post-Game Talk: Leafs remind the Oilers and their fans who their Papi is

[notDatsyuk]

Oilers top five PP players have a combined 7 more points at even strength than on the PP:
McDavid - 63 - 59
Draisaitl - 47 - 50
Nugent-Hopkins - 34 - 43
Hyman - 50 - 22
Barrie - 15 - 28

Leafs top five have 74 more:
Marner - 47 - 32
Nylander - 53 - 25
Tavares - 35 - 30
Matthews - 42 - 22
Rielly - 19 - 13

Hyman, like Willy, has a lot more at ES, but the rest of them are barely even or worse.

Their top five in points have 207 ES points.

Out top five have 212.

Their top five are a combined +22.

Our top five are a combined +73.

P.S. I get the feeling that Mitch Marner and Zach Hyman strongly dislike one another.

Did Hyman even play last night? Talk about a total non-factor.

The Pacific is an absolute joke. Oilers have only won 1 playoff game against a non-pacific opponent in the last 5 years, 1 game. Were swept three times ? I believe, the 1 win was against Chicago in the play in round as well.

I mean, I agree the pacific blows, but also that’s a little misleading isn’t it? It’s not wrong, but playoffs are divisional, so the only way they’d play some from outside the pacific in the playoffs is by making the conference finals or it being the North division year. So, it’s only 2 series. 1 game is still bad, but it sounds worse the way you worded it lol

Not sure if this is true or not, apparently Bunting asked Kane if he needed a loan LOL.

I’m not sure that makes sense. He only has problems when he is asked to pay back his loans…..

 

[leafsfan5]

Just remember, we still have to add ROR/Knies to this lineup

I don't think so, they get their asses handed to them every time they have to play a series against a team outside their division.

2018 - misssed playoffs
2019 - missed playoffs
2020 - lost in the play in vs Chicago, won just 1 game.
2021 - Swept by the Jets
2022 - Swept by the Avs

1-11 against non-pacific opponents in the last 5 years

I think that’s bs but…

Acciari is going to be a beast in the playoffs.

That empty netter was a beauty. He just took the puck from a streaking McDavid, couple of strides to the red line and shot it dead center in the net.

Forgot about the play ins

I still don't know what McLeod was thinking but that Marner goal might have been the best goal I've ever seen scored by a Leaf. To make those moves in a phone booth, incredible. Btw, love Joe Bowen, he's got blue flowing through his veins.

McLeod had a brain fart. I think he thought he had more time to make the pass. But what's really perplexing is Nurse. He sees the pass get intercepted and starts skating backwards towards the blue line while watching the play.

He's almost at the blue line when Marner scored

 

[notbias]

I have said it before and I will continue to say. Draisaitl is far and away the least impressive superstar in the entire league. Like visually. You can't deny the production, but when he isn't putting up points....which is usually on the PP he is non existent and arguably a negative for the Oilers.

I am pretty sure he is a negative 5v5 player.

He is essentially a PP specialist.

I think they are good pals. There was a sequence last night where they both a chuckle when they tried to check each other before a line change.

 

[Stand Witness]

I still cant get over the pathetic response of Deharnais after using his stick on Tavares and then rightfully getting a wack back.

f*** around and find out lol

A rookie at that. Do that to a veteran and find out. And he found out.

Oilers fans self destructing after this loss. Crying like babies wanting their own forum now. HFBoards too mean for them.

Fugginay!!!

I'm so bummed I missed the game. Had to be up for 3am so was in bed when all the action was going on.

Glad the Leafs showed some fire out there. Put Edmonton back in their place after their last meeting.

The Oilers are are by far the most overrated and overhyped team in the NHL. All because if McDavid. He's amazing no question but remove him and they're a lottery team. Draisaitl is the most underwhelming star player in the league. Virtually invisible when not taking feeds from McDavid or playing on the PP.

What's worse is when you start to analyze and "normalize" their team stats. By just watching scores or highlights you could be easily tricked into thinking they're a decent team.

I love the summary that was posted in this thread about their playoff success (lack of) outside their brutal division.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

lmaoooo

Johnny, if you weren't already rich, I'd pay the fine for you. Well worth it!

This makes McDrai point totals look a little more sus. Imagine if the Leafs got the same PP opportunities lol

He's so bad defensively. Huberdeau is a good comparison for him

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

It looked like Marner took a second after his goal and was like "did I really just do that?"

Say it with me now, Core 4, Core 4, Core 4!

Thats all they are. A PP behemoth.

Come playoff time, say tata to those petty calls they get in the regular season.
