NHL: Around the League 49

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Cogliano makes it 7-3 Avs, Didn't even realize he was still in league

And McDavid makes it 7-4

Still in the 2nd

Kuemper ruled out for rest of game

Between Cogs and Helm the Avs gotta have the market cornered on old guys that can skate and not much else.

 

[RayP]

Gorgeous play by Drai.

What he’s doing on basically one leg is nuts. He can’t skate at all right now.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Francouz finally somebody looks like a NHL goalie

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Thought for sure the Oilers were going ot bury that

Good toe save

 

[RayP]

2 periods. 11 goals. 4 goalies have seen the ice.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Has an EBUG ever been used in the playoffs?

 

[JaegerDice]

Keith is getting carved up every time he pinches. Somebody needs to remind him he’s not in his early 30s anymore, he cant use his feet to cover if he gets beat being aggressive.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Two shot game.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I've never seen a team as good as the Avs just completely take their foot off the gas as often as they do.

The 2010 Blackhawks took their foot off the gas plenty.

Thats what separated the 2013 team from the 2010 team. The 2010 team probably had more talent, but the the 2013 team leveraged their talent to the redline more consistently.

Every team does at times. But these Avs steam roll teams and just stop doing it and stand around defensively.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Entertaining game I must say

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

One shot game

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Two Avs cheating offensively up one with two minutes left. Ugggggleeeeee.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

There’s the winner.

Tighten up that blue line and the Avs should easily win this series.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

That was so much fun.

 

[BobbyJet]

Well, that game certainly lived up to its billing.

 

[JaegerDice]

Hard to see how the Oilers beat what amounts to a better, deeper, more well-rounded version of themselves, but I guess you cant count out McDavid going Super Saiyan.

 

[BobbyJet]

Really? I think he is great. Who would be your choice?

Ferraro's a yes man in every aspect of his commentary. Always agrees with ref calls no matter how bad. Always plays it safe ..., doesn't want to ruffle anyone's feathers. He's as bland as they come.

Yep... something like Leafs vs Lightning. Close but no cigar.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Wheeeeeeeeew. What a game!

 

[x Tame Impala]

McDavid is going to score 40 points in a playoff campaign and 1) not even make it the SCF and 2) not win the Smythe.

He is such an unreal talent. This is what it must’ve been like to watch Lemieux

Koskinen should finish out playoffs as Oilers #1

Smith is awful and last night it was Koskinen who gave his team chance (Smith gave up 6 goals, Koskinen just 1) and unfortunately the one he gave up was #7 of game so he takes the undeserved loss

The goals Smith gives up are some of the softest/worst seen in playoffs

 

[Putt Pirate]

That was a very entertaining game! But if they go up against say tampa I would pick Tampa based on the GK alone. Neither of these teams have much of an NHL goalie.

Problem is that when he gets trust to be number 1, he crumbles.
