Post-Game Talk: Oilers with the reverse orca card

[Cloned]

Rick will tocchet out with the officials

My god, how do you come up with these?

 

[5 14 6 1]

I also saw McLeod throw a body check tonight, that was good

 

[McDoused]

This is proof that SN mutes the arena noise on their broadcasts

Honestly Vancouver is louder. To be fair though they have no idea what they are cheering for or when to cheer. They go offside or ice a puck and their still cheering like idiots.

 

[dustrock]

2 shots got deflected in. What's he suppose to do? Swallow the puck?

Yeah but how many times does it happen when Nurse is on the ice? Tie up your man! Be in the right spot!

 

[Gordy Elbows]

Yeh just heard that. He also implied we might see some line up changes. All good news for the Oilers. Tochetts out of answers with the group he’s been playing.

I believe this means that Tochet will don the striped shirt and ref the game himself…the right way!

 

[dustrock]

They tell me McLeod is great defensively, he'd better be making Bergeron look like Patrick O'Sullivan out there.

thE onLy tHinG i dOnt lIke iS tHe eMbelisHmeNT, Oh and the slewfooting, oh and refs having jobs, so they should let me ref instead.

 

[syz]

Canucks generated f*** all the entire game and they still almost won off a couple of pinballs. Wish the PDO jokes would finally stop.

I need proof. I saw mostly his butter soft forecheck

 

[tiger_80]

not allowed saying that stuff on here. Oilslick fella gets all sour and will call ya a bigot

I love it though. Keep em coming. Im not part of the woke movement. I'll still watch Eddie Murphy Delirious and laugh my guts out

Blame Quinn's parents, not me. lol.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Don't know..but Knob said possibly game 4 or 5. I'm hoping he gets in the next one.

would definitely help us out. Balance our lineup. I really like Holloway tonight.

Blame Quinn's parents, not me. lol.

Whats the Mom look like?

 

[Captain Fantastic]

would definitely help us out. Balance our lineup. I really like Holloway tonight.

Yeah, me too. Holloway's development has been hampered by a lot of injuries but I really like what he's brought. I'm hoping to see another gear in him next season and am thinking we will.

 

[tiger_80]

It's funny how teams can have an entirely new roster but still maintain the culture from the teams before. The Canucks are still rats like they were during the Burrows days. That team is full of p***yes who can't do shit physically aside from cheap shots.

The pack of rats. It started with Cook.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Here's a weird one. All 3 teams made the finals in their respective years. Devils won.

 

[guymez]

Lots to be impressed about in this game. Bouchard and Ekholm couldnt possibly be better.
They were a tremendous pairing tonight. Clutch goal by Bouchard after Ekholm made a hell of a play to keep the puck in at the blueline and keep the play alive. Kane didnt get an assist but he created the opportunity fo that play to happen with his strong forecheck.
Kudos to Bouchard as well for also playing a tidy game in his own end.

IMO that may have been Draisaitls best game of the playoffs. He was a beast in this game and I especially appreciated his gamesmanship.
Finally some secondary scoring...Nuge with a huge goal. Three things that stood out for me on that goal.
Frist the play by Ekholm to take a hit and get the puck to Nuge,
Second the decision by Nuge to shoot the puck even though he had the best player in the world he could have tried to pass to.
3rd the shot...what a snipe. There isnt a goalie anywhere that stops that shot.

The team defensively was the best they have been so far in this series. They gave up very little and when there was a chance Pickard was there. Thats the level of defence they have to play to win.
What a solid game by Pickard. No chance on the 2 goals IMO. Such a good story...more of that please.

Also liked that Knoblauch mixed up the D pairings. It worked because the bottom 2 pairings were good enough in this game.
Nurses TOIs was reduced to 16 minutes which IMO is a good idea.
Only Kulak had fewer minutes at 15:20.

Lastly the TOI.
It was an absolute necessity for Knoblauch to distribute the ice time in a way that invloved more of the team. Thats how it started in the 1st period and he maintained that throughout the game. As a result we saw strong efforts throughout the bottom 6.
Thats how this team is going to win IMO.
No more 29-30 minute games for Draisaitl and McDavid on the same line.
They centered different lines and were at 20:47 and 23:12 respectively.
8 forwards were at 12 minutes or more in this game. Much much better.
3 players were just under 10 minutes.
Only Foegele played less than 8 minutes and considering how ineffective he has been that seems quite appropriate to me.

So I really hope that Knoblauch uses this game as a template for game 5.
Pickard gets the net for the remainder of the series.

 

[Duder54]

Jebus Christopher Columbus... I thought I was going to have a heart attack at the end of that game. What a goal by Bouchard, what a game. Best of 3 now, baby.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Yeah, me too. Holloway's development has been hampered by a lot of injuries but I really like what he's brought. I'm hoping to see another gear in him next season and am thinking we will.

I think we have ourselves a power forward there.

 

[Drivesaitl]

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

We lose this game without Drai. Period. Far from the first time he's led us to playoff victory. He's our best player in playoffs almost every year.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Split McDrai, Split Nurse-Ceci, and start Pickard.

Knob would be getting roasted if this one went the other way. Woody would never have done that

100% this looks great on Knoblauch

 

[tiger_80]

Why do they always play Nurse with Ceci. Put Ceci on the bottom pairing and promote Kulak or Desharnais.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Here's a weird one. All 3 teams made the finals in their respective years. Devils won.

stats for everything. Ill take it. I still say series could be a 4 game sweep though

 

[5 14 6 1]

I need proof. I saw mostly his butter soft forecheck

I believe it was in the third on the Canucks blue line closest to the TV camera. Was actually a solid check

 

[NeverForget06]

Let me know if you want the spoilers of what happened in this game

 

[tiger_80]

I think we have ourselves a power forward there.

He's not really a power forward. More like a good skating shooter. Kind of like Boeser.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Honestly Vancouver is louder. To be fair though they have no idea what they are cheering for or when to cheer. They go offside or ice a puck and their still cheering like idiots.

They aren’t louder. I live in Van and been to multiple games. They use their sound system better
