NHL: Around the League 52

[Hattrick Kane]

Refs will not call penalties on the Oilers.

 

[Pez68]

I think it's hilarious someone was pumping Darnell Nurse's tires in this thread. He's f***ing terrible.

 

[Styles]

Come on Edmonton get a goal and make this a game.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Come on Edmonton get a goal and make this a game.

No thanks.

 

[Styles]

Bouchard forcing passes all game. That has to be the 4th or 5th pass that has killed the offensive zone time.

 

[Styles]

No thanks.

You’re no fun.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

You’re no fun.

I really don't like the Oilers.

The term "choke" is generally identified with losing a lead. But there's also choking on your opportunities over and over and over. EDM has no ice in their veins tonight and clearly haven't been to the big dance while Florida has been here already.


Also, if this game had 4 more goals scored tonight 3 would be called back for offside. I guess the linesman are cool with just calling things back.

Florida is just so suffocating. The Oilers look spent trying to break through.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

No thanks.

When the Hawks aren't involved, I want to watch the biggest games go down to the wire.

"Suffocating" generally means keeping teams to the outside and only allowing low quality stuff.

Edmonton has had a crap ton of high quality chances all night long. They've flubbed or been stopped on every one.

On the powerplay lol. That does not count.

I just want to see a good final with close games and hopefully it goes to 7.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

First of all, a great chance on the power play is still a great chance. So, you should take a nap on that assertion.

Second, Oil had multiple breakaway chances 5v5 and lots of action around the paint, lots of shots in between the dots at 5v5 too.

This was not a typical Panther game.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Panthers didn't play well and won. That's not good if you're an Oiler fan.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I love the coverage in Canada. If the Oilers had won, they’d be jerking them off for two hours after the game. But because the Panthers won, they cut coverage five minutes after the game was over lol.

 

[Wally1112pac]

two hours

It would have went well into the night.

That jerkfest would have lasted at least 3.

So you are good with this series going 2.5 weeks?

I want a sweep.

 

[statswatcher]

i just want to see oilers fans cry more. i hope they out shoot the panthers every game and still get swept.

This is exactly why I never want to see a Canadian team win the Cup, as a Canadian. We are still hearing about the Habs winning it 31 years ago.

Still sticking to that PP merchant shtick eh?

WTF? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

 

[Hawkaholic]

WTF? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

Why? Why should I care if a Canadian team wins a Cup? I'm not a fan of a Canadian team, so I have zero reason to cheer for one, especially when you'll never hear the end of it.

I could care less about all the Canadian teams too. They are all just meh to me.

I don't view the league as Canadian vs American.

I view the league as teams I like and teams I dislike.

 

[Giovi]

WTF? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

Kinda thought you might shy away from this thread, after Nurse's performance last night. He was horrible.

Again.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Xenophobia is bad.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Xenophobia is bad.

As a Canadian, I’m giving everyone one a pass in here to hate.
