Post-Game Talk: Losing sucks but we’re still tied 1-1

[sepHF]

Benns interview was pretty funny

 

[Drivesaitl]

All this talk about Dallas being a road powerhouse. keep in mind, they had one more road 1 win than the Jets, and 2 more than the Maple Leafs.

I think the conversation coming from the talking heads on the TV would make it seem like they ran roughshod over the league.

Dallas are 5-1 on the road in the playoffs. Its not some made up statline. They've even been dominant in those wins.

Playoffs is a different animal.

Flaming
Typical
Challenge the opinion
Not the poster
You are digging quite a hole Mr Sniveller

Grow some class and discuss the game

However
I suspect that may be too much to ask of you

I've literally never quoted you before this pgt, how would anything be typical? Got a few burner accounts lying around?

Believe my brother!!!

Disagree here. At no point did we have lead in this game and after first Dallas were better club. They got a lot of dangerous chances around net too. Another couple goal posts as well.

Benn can hammer the puck.

The Brown goal was the lol goal of the night. Any goalie in the league should be able to stop Connor Brown. goal only happened because Ott had a bad deflection off a routine shot.

In anycase when one factors in DAllas hit 2 goalposts before we got the OT winner in game 1 it sounds a bout right series is tied. Both games were close.

Disagree likes totally ate the stars lunch in the first period and it was even after… skinner let in a muffin and a lucky bounce.. Dallas looked worse then Vancouver

So knoblauch is just a whiner too?

If our strategy is “getting power plays” we are in horrible trouble

Believe my brother!!!

Oh I do. I believe it will be 2-2 after 4 games.

I believe the series will go 7 games.

I believe a lot of things. Also that that TV series sucks. I couldn't make it through the first season.

The main feeling was why am I even watching this.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

The tendency to not shoot the puck in good areas is hurting this team

No that’s not the strategy, that’s why we are good at 5v5 and the PK too. But regardless a fair playing field with the same standard of officiating on both sides can swing a game and swing a series.

Defense is pretty easy when you know your not getting called, so it absolutely effects the game. You pretending that's not true, doesn't make it less true.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Because he refuses to shoot on net, along with the whole team. Constantly trying to thread cross ice passes on what I assume is brutal ice.

Dallas did a great job of getting in shooting lanes, blocking shots and getting sticks on puck.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Dallas has no offense they look worse than Vancouver. Oilers should win this series

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Seriously fire McLeod into the sun. I’m a broken record but holy f*** he has me riled up

 

[McHelpus]

No, just call a penalty when it is one.

 

[RegDunlop]

We split gentlemen

Eliminated all the bullshit about how we don't deserve to be here. Silenced the 'Stars are gonna sweep' mouthpieces. And scared the shit out of their players and fans by almost putting them in a very very bad situation.

I'd say we did pretty good. Mission accomplished as there's no doubt the Dallas Stars and the rest ot the so called experts know this is going to be a dog fight.

And... home Ice for all you Tier Oners!!!!!!

 

[MoontoScott]

The way I look at it is the Oilers won the first game on the road (when some experts said Dallas sweep) and absolutely dominated in the 1st period tonight.

There is no reason that they can't dominate on home ice for 6 more periods--on better ice and minus the annoying Stars' fans.

Of course they won't dominate for all 6 periods at home but do it for 4 periods and they could be up 3-1 come Wed. evening.

 

[The Nuge]

Through 2 games, we’ve been the better team (yes, Dallas had a better 3rd period this game), and a 1-1 split would have been completely fine if you asked before the start of the series. We’re in good shape

 

[TheNumber4]

Clown.

Well atleast he’s the reasonable one. Not anyone else. Just him.

If I could double like this post I would

He needs to sit out in Henrique

 

[Messrules11]

He’s not committed to doing everything that has to be done to win a game. I can’t say that about any other Oiler.

 

[Heavy Dee]

My honest take is that it goes back to Dallas 2-2. I watch Dallas a lot. We haven't seen their A game yet. Offensively speaking they haven't seen our A game either but in terms of 200ft play this is as good as it gets with Oilers.

Would take tremendous performances from Oilers to get both games.

Agree with this. I think we will score more but so will they.

Agreed. Can’t complain about this result starting the series in Dallas. 1-1 and Dallas has never heard a crowd like ours.

They don't have anyone like Hughes or boeser
