Post-Game Talk: Oilers with the reverse orca card

[KCC]

This should have been a sweep unreal luck and weak goaltending for the oil and it’s tied . So frustrating

Yeah, it’s really is. But, it’s tied and honestly I feel much more comfortable with pikard in net. His rebound control is fantastic and he played good tonight. Both goals against were surprise surprise, fluky as hell but most importantly he never let in any muffins.

Bouchard is a big game player making big plays in big moments. Only the very beginning of his story so far. This kids the real deal. So f***in proud of these playoffs. I was PISSED at the beginning of the year when it seemed he would never figure out the defensive end. But he’s been great back there too to go along with his ELITE offence.

He has had 3 really good games so far this postseason, this was the first against the Canucks.

Where are all our likes from McDoused?

I'm here. All caught up!

I know Ceci sucks by default but holy shit…is Nurse just dragging everyone down with him?!??

 

[DrDrai]

I love McDavid and he’s the best player in the world but draisaitl might be our most important player in the playoffs. He’s just got that killer mindset.

I wish McDavid had a bit more grit to his game in the playoffs.

Whew--thanks-I thought you took the night off.

Louie texted Ron to check upstairs because he's pissed Jake didn't score on that breakaway and totaled his stick at the bench.

 

[Drivesaitl]

So again who is leading this club? Coach throws the Drai line out to get a critical goal so that we can avoid the fortune of PDO Kings Canucks in OT. We didn't want to leave it to that. Drai makes a good play in transition, Kane makes a killer check to turn puck over, Drai gets puck, takes time, surveys whats available and feeds Booch for the winner. Drai with the goal and assist where hardly anybody else had anything going production wise. I didn't want this going to OT and thankfully the Drai line didn't either. That was an excellent read and pass by Drai. Its what was available, and its Booch, and he saves the game.

 

[T-Funk]

The ESPN call of the winner (maybe TNT) I like it, just let's the building tell the story

Don't you prefer when Sportsnet mutes the rink and lets their big brain color guys blab about how the key to the game is playing good?

 

[McHelpus]

Canucks want Kane suspended. Was his high stick really that bad? I didn't see it.

 

[DrDrai]

JT Miller was sour as shit in his post game, hopefully a little bit of frustration on that end.

2 more wins and I can leave my house again. Finish the job please

I mean I do enjoy Cuthbert, but yeah it was a great way to handle it

 

[snipes]

Playoff Draisaitl is arguably the best player in the world

Yup, this was not going to end well in overtime.

 

[KlefDown]

what would have happened if Kane absolutely clobbered silovs here on open ice? he’s fair game right? or suspension

 

[Mr Positive]

Not bad at all

 

[TheNumber4]

Yeh yeh yeh and Hymans a goal suck. Let it go already, its not their fault the Leaf’s don’t have any players close to these guys.

 

[MoontoScott]

The Oilers haven't had a lot of puck luck in this series (apart from game #2) but Karma is coming off the bench and so is a big Mc-D game. Stay tuned on Thursday to see both.

 

[McClelland]

Great backbreaker win, shouldnt be close though.

Picard had a clean game!

Just F win the next 2!

 

[T-Funk]

Looked accidental ...and the main thing is it was during the actual game, not after the final horn.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Mc-D is due for one of his 4 point nights--Thursday in Vancouver.

Yep. The best player in the world has to be more than one PP assist in the biggest game of the season. C'mon. He even had a lot of wide open looks and could've broke free on multiple plays. One play in 2nd period we have a potential break and he doesn't even nab the pass. Its an icing instead; Just not sharp. Normally I don't ride him but he has to be more in these critical games. We need him to be.

 

[Mr Positive]

I wonder when Henrique is ready
