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

[tiger_80]

Broberg scores the SC winner. What a story that would be.

My money is on Brownberg.

Lmao dropping Mario Kart in the interview

Absolutey loved that post game. Nuge is a true gentleman. I remember his first interview back when he was drafted and loved the guy from day 1. He also said back then that was big into gaming so he probably took what Skinner said about beating him in Mario Kart personally..lol

Flames fans are straight up not having a good time. View attachment 878111

Imagine your team being eliminated 2 months ago and still rambling on the internet about hockey irrelevant to you

 

[CupofOil]

It is so f***ing close and I think they're elevating their play because they realize it.

Yep, the team is sensing the moment and is pushing harder each game for the big prize. You can see the buy in forming from everybody like championship teams need to do.

With that said, next game will be the hardest one of the playoffs to win so gotta keep the foot on the gas pedal and don't get too comfortable back at home.

 

[bellagiobob]

If the Oilers and Panthers both win game 6 there won't be any hockey for almost a week...

I’m okay with that. We can use the break after going every second night for two straight series.

 

[syz]

Also just wanna say again I feel like this team would win 16 straight in the playoffs if they had Johnston out there on Draisaitl's wing. What a player.

 

[tiger_80]

Who is going to give him 3M after seeing him get scratched for guys like Brown, Perry, Holloway and Carrick?

He scored 20 goals and 40 points this year. That makes him a very good top 9 forward. Somebody will put in the dough. Probably a team like Arizona or up-and-coming teams like Chicago or Ottawa, with lots of cap space and the need to get some quality depth around their young stars.

Hahahahaha!!!!! This one is gold. Cess Pool strikes again.

 

[Oildrum]

It is so f***ing close and I think they're elevating their play because they realize it.

I said to my friends tonight it feels like they went into the locker room after game 3 and said "Do we really want to play 82 more meaningless games just to start this all over again, this is our chance"

Lol I playfully cheer against the flames but this is just weird. This person should seek help.

 

[voxel]

Liar. I watched him in the AHL all season and I didn't see anything like that. I saw consistent good play. So why are you lying? You honestly think you're the only one watching the Condors? Stop lying. If you're a troll, casually see yourself out

Lol. I'm talking previous years. I only watched one Condors game this season to see Bourgault and Holloway and I don't think Broberg was playing (was up with the Oilers).

The Condors were straight up trash. I miss the Woodcroft, McLeod, Marody, Benson, Bouchard, Gildon era... those were good teams. They would outshoot and outplay opponents every night and be felled by sh*tty goaltending. Colby Cave was an AHL all star. The current Condors are a joke.

 

[Louis Cypher]

8mins into third period and Broberg with a dfensive play of a veteran. Calmly blocks shot with his skate, controls it, gets puck out, absolute perfect reversal. Like an allstar play and Broberg made it look easy.

I'll say what I said years ago re: Booch but the sky is the limit with Broberg. Just loaded with skill, skating and better head for the game than people have given him credit for. I'm seeing Broberg processing at high level and making plays, in playoffs, in pressure.

I've been routing for him since day 1. I still have faith.

 

[CupofOil]

I'll admit that I was ragging on Nuge and Skinner after game 3 loss. Both were pathetic.. McLeod was also trash before he was scratched.

I will gladly eat the crow on both Nuge and Skinnerv if they repeat tonight's performance on Sunday.

Skinner I get but how are you not sold on Nuge in these playoffs? Outside of a few quiet games, he's been absolute money in the playoffs and I'm not just talking about the goals and points, he's been touching every part of the game in a positive way and shouldn't be criticized by anybody who actually watches the little subtle plays he makes and isn't just looking at flashiness.

Same with Henrique to a lesser extent, not making the obvious flashy plays but he's been making all the right plays which is so critical in tight playoff games.

For me, it’s the blatantly hyperbolic and inaccurate shitting on players that gets tiring. Like we can have our biases and favorites, but lets atleast try be accurate so we can open up a discussion and we’re not just screaming into the void.

Like this statement “Stu never makes big saves”. Just untruths to make your point, doesn’t add nothing to any conversation. It’s just a lie so people can get their bitching out.

Alternatively, a statement like “Stu doesn’t have great lateral movement” can be discussed. Has some merit and opens up a discussion about his top end ceiling.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Lots of hurt butts there. lol

...and here too for some strange reason.. Friday night and the liquor is flowing..

 

[bellagiobob]

I’m fine with this continuing.

 

[McDoused]

Where's the guy from last game that said Nuge was underwhelming so far and could be a traded in the offseason?

 

[bellagiobob]

Alterenatively, a statement like “Stu doesn’t have great lateral movement” can be discussed. Has some merit and opens up a discussion about his top end ceiling.

Interestingly enough Stu’s lateral movement tonight was excellent.

 

[dustrock]

So did I...and I'm lactose intolerant. Gonna celebrate with some fireworks of my own.

Reminds me of Conan O'Brien talking about doing some spot welding after being on Hot Ones

 

[OilynutEsquire]

Thre craziest thing about becoming a fan is coming to the realization that the only difference between and AHLer and an NHLer is confidence, yet these supposed fans take any opportunity presented to tear down these players who could be a difference maker, yet they want to be the first one to call them a bust.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

That day was November 14, for anyone wondering. Just eight days before the tire fire in Carolina where we hit rock bottom and saw the season turn around.

 

[dustrock]

Broberg scores the SC winner. What a story that would be.

Or Nurse.

 

[LTIR]

McDavid won 10 of 12 faceoffs today (83%) and also lead the Oilers in hits.

Carrick played just 6mins tonight losing all 6 faceoffs he took. He might come out for Foegele or Ryan on Sunday

 

[syz]

I’m fine with this continuing.

I was gonna say "that's it?" but then I remembered that a lot of them were probably 4-0 or 4-1.

 

[Cloned]

Oilers win the biggest game in the last 18 years and there’s still bickering and fighting in the PGT.

This is peak HF.
