Post-Game Talk: McDavid took that personally

[harpoon]

The Edmonton Charlie Browns!
Amirite guys … durrr.

 

[snipes]

Not sure and it makes no sense.

But you could feel their frustration building throughout this game punctuated by their player smashing his stick against the boards after the final whistle.

You love to see it. Losers.

f*** em.

Kinda like in real life, if someone just randomly hates me for no reason they can eat shit.

Kulak lead the team in ice time with over 29 mins, he's just been great this year.

What a big win

 

[LTIR]

Also, Kulak is such an underrated player

Kulak was pretty solid tonight. Should try him on PP instead of Bouchard since he isn't allergic to shooting the puck

 

[CupofOil]

Didn't see the whole game. Was Walman declared out or did he leave with an injury? 3 guys playing almost 30 minutes is insane

 

[Cloned]

Also despite the fact it’s the Flames it’d be hilarious if the Blues lost their last two and the Flames snuck in at their expense.

You mean you didn’t stay all the way up till 1:10 AM local time?

 

[PBandJ]

Nope

Sorry bud, not all of us want to throw our window away on a sub .900 goalie.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I mean one guy is playing and playing great, the other guy is hurt and was pretty brutal before that. As sad as you will be, the team is better served with Calvin Pickard as game 1 starter. If they're serious about trying to win, Pickard gets game 1.

ya let’s not play the hot goalie and go with 1 who sucked for 2 months straight then went down with a concussion.

 

[LTIR]

Hrudey seems heartbroken for Flames loss.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Sad Kelly Hrudy caps the night nicely

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

True Grit
Captain back and drives the W. Connor Brown with the ... finish?! Podkolzen a heavy forecheck game. Props to a shorthanded d-corp with notice to Kulak who was excellent. Nurse really good too. Bouchard largely good. Pickard was solid, not necessarily great, but got the job done again.

I don't like to whine about reffing. But that first Blues goal came after a face-off punch to Skinner's head followed by a hold on the player's back check. Didn't like the shorty or sleepy third period start where they get burned thirty seconds in. Blues top line a handful.

Big win. Statement made. Grit and character on display - vital attributes for playoff hockey.

 

[McTonyBrar]

I forgot to mention Podkolzin. Great game! He has 10 goals now too. The goal tonight will help him big time in confidence

The crazy thing is that I start a new job on May 12th that starts at 8am instead of 9 now right in the middle of playoff time. Sigh

So, about Walman lol. Is he injured/sick?

Sick. Out last minute.

Walman was too sick to go apparently

 

[BlackDogg]

Louie with the weight of Vancouver trying to get into the playoffs off his shoulders.

 

[rboomercat90]

Most impressive thing to me about this game was how well everybody not named McDavid played tonight. These are the guys that have struggled all year and made playoff success look unlikely. It was encouraging to see so many wake up, look like they have a pulse and contribute in some way. Not all but many.

McDavid and Draisatl are going to play well in the playoffs. It’s the other guys that the team needs to step up. Tonight was an encouraging game.

 

[Jarvi]

He’s good. But to me he’s not a game breaker. He’s 25 and getting close to prime years.

Not knocking him to me he’s nowhere near superstar status.

Blues have a bunch of good players but zero gamebreakers to my eye

Same thing people said about them the year they won the Cup.

Pacing for 95pts, most in the league since 4N break, good defensively and PK's. Thomas is pretty damn elite.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Come playoff time, I hope the Oilers run Skinner - McDavid - Brown, they might have something here

 

[nexttothemoon]

Brown 1 goal in his last 14.... and gets 2 tonight.

The McDavid effect obviously.

Oilers don't win this without McDavid back... and I hope to hell he can stay healthy.

Once Drai, Ekholm and the rest of the infirmary get back... this team has a legit shot to make a lot of noise in the playoffs but man do they ever need to have all guns going.

 

[CupofOil]

Thanks for the Walman answers fellas, not @Cloned smh (would do wink emoji but not available for some reason)

The blues have been good, but they won't beat anyone good in a best of 7

 

[Cloned]

If anyone watched McDavid’s post game I think if RNH was healthy to go he probably doesn’t play.
