Post-Game Talk: Oilers win the battle but lose the war against their arch nemesis…

[Oilslick941611]

Well done Skinner.

f*** the LA Kings. I have had enough, thanks.

x100
i dont view them as rivials, i just cant stand watching them or the boring colour scheme.

 

[McDoused]

Mcdavid looked genuinely choked to miss the pass on the empty net. Saddest since the cup lose.

He doesnt like it in Edmonton. You can see that in the missed pass. Hes definitely going to leave for Toronto - TSN tomorrow morning (probably)

 

[Duke74]

Drai better not lose the Rocket by 1 goal!

That’s exactly what I foresee happening. He’s missed too many prime opportunities lately, including ENs

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

When you beat the Kings at their own game.

 

[TheNumber4]

We can beat teams any way we want to when we dial in. And that's why I'm still parade planning.

 

[Jarvi]

There’s no way Drai got up to 40 there. Wouldn’t that be the fastest recorded speed ever in the NHL?

Did they say that?!!?

On occasion I've mistaken Nuge and in the past Mcleod for Mcdavid when they would turn on the burners. I think thats the first time I've ever had to take a second glance at the 29 on the back to see it wasn't Mcdavid absolutely pushing the limits on my tv's frame rate.

Kulak a bit concerning to me again tonight. One shift there in the 3rd where he had 2 failed clears back to back again. Kinda moving the needle for me on the "need another top 4 guy for the ploffs" dial.

17-4-1 last 22

 

[Cloned]

Holy f***. Nurse masterclass

When was the last time Emberson had a bad game by these metrics? Seems like he’s always well on the plus side.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

a really tight checking game...but the Oilers can play that way too
Skinner was excellent again...the hater are shook

I think they consciously try and be the worst empty net scoring team in the league

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Kings fans sound extremely deflated. Saying they'll never beat edmonton in a 7 game playoffs and nothing else matters

 

[Oilslick941611]

also outside of the first 1o mins, this was never in doubt

I've been calling this. Kulak is one of the best #5's in the league imo. But top4 is just a bit much for him and he starts to look out of place too often. They need a guy to pair with Nurse.

He should only be in a top 4 for special circumstances. Injury or suspension. Were a better team with appropriate usage for Kulak and he usually always does well in that role. 4RHD should be a priority at this deadline.

 

[Pip]

Outhit them as well :0

Guess all the shit talkers who showed up when they stole one last month are too busy to post tonight then, cause there's still plenty of hubris in that fanbase ime.

 

[soothsayer]

How about that absolute clown Byfield doing sweet f*** all. The only 40-point "super star" in the NHL.

Lol. They've been like that for 2 years. I go over there for some entertainment every now and then. Classy bunch of fans though, unlike the Nucks.

Foegele playoff game COMPLETE. That should do it in an important game eh Mclovin.

Well if we actually win the div maybe we can do that song and dance in the second round this year.

 

[Cloned]

Also I know I joke about it but I think Drai actually worked on his skating in the summer and didn’t tell anyone about it because this is faster than he’s ever looked before. He looks like Mike Modano out there some shifts.

 

[McTonyBrar]

To Tobias Kahun, use common sense ffs why do you act stupid towards to me on purpose. 13-5? No lol 12-6.

Tonight felt like a playoff game. HELL yeah Skinner!! Keep denying the haters

 

[WhyYouHaveToBeMad]

We are going to regret the Drai contract and the next Mcdavid contranct.

Drai should have gotten 13 mil a year plus 100 000 for every empty net point.

Mcdavid should get 15 mil plus 100 000 for every net point as well.

Do they hit the bonuses?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Seriously though please practice empty net situations before it comes back to bite you. There's no shame in taking freebies.

 

[Missing smitty]

What fanbase? Do you mean the 12 of them that show up when the team wins a few games?
