Post-Game Talk: Oilers with the reverse orca card

[Behind Enemy Lines]

50 minutes of elite team defending. Solid goaltending with calm, efficient game supported by their best team defending support this playoff. Players with sticks and bodies in lanes all night. Exceptional support. Heavier, physical play much improved. Draisaitl is such an incredible playoff performer. Absolute rocket. Bouchard is creating a legacy of clutch performance. Played a great two way game tonight.

Quibbles on a massive win night ... can't have three clean face-off losses with the opposition net empty. Missed opportunity on that final PP. Get that game to 3-0 and there's zero hope for comeback.

This win was incredible. Closer to the Oilers style of play with o-zone time and away from their own. First period was textbook.

f*** you Vancouver!!!
f*** you Friedman!!!
f*** you Hrudey!!!
Let's f***ing go Oilers!!!!

Yeah, f*** those guys.

Here comes Tocchet to cry about something.

He’s such a miserable human being, that wears thin quick.

 

[Ninety7]

That second goal had zero to do with nurse win a f***ing face off

100% not blaming him for it.

Just an overall observation haha

 

[Broberg Speed]

I wonder when Henrique is ready

I hope so.

 

[MoontoScott]

There were a few guys who stepped it up tonight but OMG when is somebody in the bottom 6 going to score? It just seems like it is an exercise in futility when they are on the ice.

Foegele leaving the defensive zone is not recommended for Oiler fans with heart conditions.

 

[Oilers in NS]

That second goal had zero to do with nurse win a f***ing face off

Nurse is doing what he is suppose to do. Pucks going of a dman happen all the time. Part of the game

 

[MoontoScott]

He’s such a miserable human being, that wears thin quick.

Exactly the same as when he was a player?

Nurse was solid ceci needs to go just bad

 

[Broberg Speed]

He's the Sportsnet posterboy.

 

[Drivesaitl]

So Skinner starts game 5?

GTFO

 

[KlefDown]

Crybaby rick going after half his roster, that’ll go well in the locker room


That being said, we need our bottom 6 going

 

[Drivesaitl]

Nurse was solid ceci needs to go just bad

Even the broadcast mentioned Nurse was so much better not having to babysit Ceci. not for the first time. Ceci is the shortstick assignment but why even play him? Put Stecher in.

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

Fair game = you can play home like a normal player.

It does not, as often suggested by troglodyte announcers mean you can knock him unconscious or target him with bloodlust

You take him out significantly before or after he’s playing the puck, you trip him, you hold him… it’s all called as though he’s a player. Meaning he can still draw calls for regular (not goalie) interference, tripping, etc.

If it is incidental body contact while he's in the act of playing the puck, he gets no special treatment.

We can thank Nylander for the relevant quote: "Stop f***ing crying, this isn't junior".

Tocchet said 5-6 passengers.

2 refs + 2 linesman + EP.

Simple math.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

I'm hoping we'll have Henrique back next game. It'll slot some down.

 

[5 14 6 1]

He’s such a miserable human being, that wears thin quick.

I can already see the Petersson 11M contract aging well with him

 

[Oilhawks]

He destroyed hronek at the end and really got the nucks chasing

Yup, absolutely clowned their #2D. That's got to be a little disheartening for the guy. What a shame

 

[Tobias Kahun]

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

He probably gets a 2 best case scenario but most likely a 5, even though he should get a 0.

Theres blue paint on the ground for a reason.

 

[TheNumber4]

aren't you late for your visit to the mains or are you multitasking?

Just got back from there. Going to the mains is not the insult you think it is. No one cares if someone posts in the mains. Stop mains shaming me.

 

[nerevarine]

Ive changed my opinion on drai, give him 15m if hes willing to stay and find a way to make it work. He just has a playoff gear that no one else has

 

[JeffSkinner53]

f*** you Vancouver!!!
f*** you Friedman!!!
f*** you Hrudey!!!
Let's f***ing go Oilers!!!!

You forgot McLean LOL

 

[NeverForget06]

What a game ! We deserved that. This Canuck team has the biggest horseshoe you know where it is unbelievable. God I hate them.

Love the win. Now go get game 5 and come home to close it.

Simple math.

EP has done absolutely nothing this whole series.

He took some heat for the same against Nashville but it's not been talked about enough in this round.
