Post-Game Talk: Oilers Do Dallas and deliver the goods

[tiger_80]

When will Bouchard be considered elite?

When he asks for 12 million a year. lol

 

[CycloneSweep]

They're over sensationalizing it. The boot was just precautionary. You think he'd be playing if his leg/ankle was actually broken?

His foot could be.

 

[iCanada]

Brobergspeed said Bouchard would fail in the playoffs…lol

In his defense, broberg looks like a baller. And that's pretty cool.

 

[Cloned]

He's been such a huge key to this matchup. His speed and puck retrievals have been god send countering the Stars relentless forecheck. If he continues to gain confidence and perform in this pressure packed environment then we might have another special dman on our roster.

Oil is refined under pressure.

 

[RegDunlop]

Dude you’re so bitter. You should be happy we won instead of being weird.

That post was also about last game so I’m not sure why you post this? Haha

Not bitter at all.
I've never wavered from cheering for the Edmonton Oilers in one second of their existence. And the Alberta Oilers before that. All you expert goaltending hacks can jump off the bridge anytime.
I cheer for my team. Everyone on my team. Bad games, bad plays, all of it.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Board has been screwy all day. Couldn't even post in the afternoon.

That's why I haven't got any likes from you today.

 

[FlameChampion]

The Kids, Holloway and Broberg, starting to establish themselves in big moments, just like a cherry on top of this run.

This Team.

This is what this team needs to go up another level. I would of said same thing about Bouchard a year ago. I didn’t think Bouchard would go up so many levels though. Hes put two incredible post seasons together.

 

[belair]

Broberg and Nuge haters looking pretty stupid @CycloneSweep

They're the same people.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Adulting.

Absolute mature game right from puck drop with the Oil controlling the play. The 'oldest' Oiler Nugent Hopkins with a rocket game. His shot was lethal and much better when he has that centre slot look.

Oil younger guy stepped up led by Bouchard who is their playoff MVP. So composed in all areas of the ice. Skinner with a sharp game saved his best for the third period. Dialed in and delivered with his team suffocating the Stars. Broberg a big goal and stepping onto a moving train to take minutes in the Conference Final. Lots of composed play carrying the puck, jumping into the rush, and smart, simple outlet passing. Young D take time. Worth the wait.

The Kids are all right. Mature, adulting team win tonight!

This Team.

No matter how this season plays out, they are getting invaluable experience with those moments too. It bodes well for the team.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Ken Holland's team is doing fairly well.

 

[RegDunlop]

Extremely weak goal on Nuges 2nd but we'll take it

????
I mean
????

 

[dssource]

Oilers played a very calm and composed game from start to finish.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

I agree. I’m f***ing sick of people saying that this team sucks and Ken Holland ruined it all. We’ve been one of the final 8 teams for 3 straight years FFS.

This. Those people are miserable. One guy was posting holland sucks and oilers suck when we were down 2 to 0 in game 4.

 

[Drivesaitl]

I know the details will be different, they also have Wyatt and Stank this year.

But the core is still there and the same piss poor lack of urgency that comes with that leadership.

I'll give Benn some credit. Feel like he's really tried to dig down hard. But Pavelski is purely robbing Dallas. Whatever he's getting paid the cheques should be stopped. I mean he's worst than the bad version of Connor Brown. That Dallas have him on first unit PP is inexcusable. He should be put out to pasture.

Robertson has made strides this playoffs. Hintz would but he's injured. Heiskanen has had a very good playoffs but drawing fumes now. Stars look like they've hit an Oilers wall after beating Vegas and Colorado.

Oilers peaking around the right time it seems.

 

[Coffey]

Holy shit. This dude is the Florida version of a CP poster

Okay grandpa. You do you. I’m glad every game is a good game for you. No one ever has bad games according to you haha.

Now let me enjoy the Oilers wins

 

[walktheboulavard]

His foot could be.

you can't put weight on a broken foot let alone play a hockey game with it. You're eating up their built in excuse when they lose the series.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Your eye test doesnt compute with my eye test. His advanced stats match my eye test, which usually reigns supreme. He has loads of gifts, amateurs focus on their bias

I don't know who is right, but I dig your manner of shit talking.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

25 points now

Heiskinen is next on the list with 26 points. I pray to the hockey gods that Bouch gets 2 points next game and we win.

That would rank him 5th all time, with Makar being next on the list with 29 points.

If we make the finals Bouchard could be top 3 or maybe even push Coffeys record.

If the team succeeds it’ll come

 

[MoontoScott]

The hockey media are led by Toronto-based dipshits who share idiotic opinions like Malkin, after Two Rosses, a Hart, a Smythe, and three cups, was a lesser player than Toews. Niedermayer was better than Pronger. Brodeur was better than Roy and Hasek. And didn't know which position Ovechkin played in 2013 when they elected him to the first and second all-star teams at different positions. Oh, and probably had a hand in getting Kevin Lowe and Clark Gilles in the Hall over an objectively superior, elite, and legendary player like Alex Mogilny.

TLDR; Bouchard is amazing and I trust the opinions of the people in this thread over the idiots on TV and on the radio.

The Toronto Sports Media consider themselves to be the center of the Galaxy but as we know, that's a black hole from which no light emanates.

 

[syz]

The worst play of the game was Chris Cuthbert saying "the Oilers aren't going to need a 4th tonight" and then Dallas scoring immediately after.

 

[iCanada]

Let’s talk about what we all want to.

How did Skinner not stop that Johnston tip? He needs to have that, cost his team the shutout. What a loser.

Skinner was pretty good today.

He wasn't tested too hard and we kept him well supported, but he did his job well and made all the saves you expect and probably an extra one.

I don't love the Johnston tip, but one goal like that on ten shots is fine. This is also one of the few games this playoffs Skinner has been positive in terms of goals saved above expected.

 

[Cloned]

Knob looks like he’s hiding a wry smile

I don't even tune into the GDT so didn't see those. Better not to I guess. Those are Spector type posters maybe.
