GDT: Oilers @ Avs | 7:30 MT | Your Favorite Mod is Back Home

Blackwood was reading the puck elevating and Manson deflected it back down.

The five-hole gap is the giveaway that he was reading it going up.

Let Rants and Dri fight. I wanna see Mikko kill that dirty POS.

 

[Avs9296]

If Manson doesn't deflect it and cause a change up Blackwood saves it. Still not a great goal but it wasn't clean.

Manson has been awful all night.

 

[forsbergavs32]

The Josh Manson experience is like a roller-coaster.

He's definitely a guy where you have to deal with his warts in the regular season, but makes his money in the playoffs

Mikko Drai fight let’s go

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Drai is such a bitch

 

[hockeyfish]

Rants asking Drai how to get 14 million there.

 

[Hennessy]

Get your revenge in the 2nd, Rants.

 

[dahrougem2]

Manson had a horrendous period. Otherwise not a bad period.

Draisaitl whining about that after he held Toews' stick for 3 seconds to make that play is hilarious.

 

[hockeyfish]

Why are they wispering.

 

[missionAvs]

3-0 would feel a lot nicer than 3-1. I really hated Manson that period of play.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

@Pokecheque okay now that was a bad period from Josh Manson, flame away brother.

They actually got MacK to do an interview? Maybe MacK just hates the Altitude crew.... Can't really blame him.

Actual quote from a Skinner fan on HF Oil after 3 goals on 5 SHOTS (three games ago it was like 4 goals on 8 shots on Skinner...):

"Brutal d flood burned on first goal. Mackinnon a breakaway from centre ice. Skinner no stops with alot of help tonight. Shot count is irrelevant. High quality breakdowns against the wrong guys"

I was banned from HF Oil for flaming morons like this. And yes, I'm an Oilers fan, but lord have mercy does Edmonton have some low-IQed simpletons.

Bro. We had Georgiev the first quarter of the season. We've literally heard all of this verbatim.

 

[sethro109]

Does anyone else just really hate the ESPN panel? Mark and PK just annoy the shit out of me. I hate hearing from them. Give me the TNT crew anytime over these bozos.

 

[Alienblood]

Nate Dogg always brings it against the Oilers

That's why he's the best always takes it to McDavid

 

[wayninja]

Ridiculous

5v5 stats after 20:

Shot Attempts 17-15 Oilers
Shots on Goal 10-6 Oilers
Scoring Chances 11-7 Avalanche
High Danger Chances 3-2 Avalanche
xGF 0.68 - 0.49 Avalanche

Can’t get disheartened by that late goal.

Scoreboard is a bit kind to us, Skinner was bad on 2 of the 3 goals.

I like our legs and we are transitioning and attacking with speed, but we have been sloppy defensively. There are players open all over our zone again. Too much puck watching.

Clean up the defensive work and keep up what we are doing in the other two zones.

Yes. I thought PK was going to be good when he joined them after retirement, but he sucks. Mess is just dry a boring.

 

[the_fan]

I guess goalies are supposed to be always ready and prepared for shots against, but I think Blackwood wasn’t expecting a shot there, because Manson had his guy and usually those plays don’t lead to shots on net, they get stick checked and deflected wide or high

My fault. I jinxed it...

I would guess that the players and coaches have certain obligations for ESPN. With a local network, not so much. Do you think the coaches enjoy all those mid-period interviews behind the bench that ESPN does and NBC used to do?
