Post-Game Talk: Oilers with the reverse orca card

[Porkleaker]

He's gonna put up a monster goal in this series, just wait.

 

[Oilers in NS]

It'd be even nicer if Drai and McDavid both just said, let's settle on 10mx8 each and said "stick together, cause we love playing together" and win all the cups!

that would be Unicorn like. Crosby took a lower contract to win.

 

[syz]

Somehow both the NHL and Sportsnet's highlight packages have the wrong replay for the Canucks' tying goal.

I mean, it depends how much they want to continue to play together and increase their chances of success. They're both set for life either way, so it's up to them. Would be nice! lol

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

Nurse and Ceci has by far the worst +/- in the whole playoffs with -8.

 

[Spawn]

I mean, he does get a lot of minutes and other teams purposefully put their best lines out against him and Ceci or whoever he's with. At least splitting up the most braindead duo in the league paid off tonight.

The thing is though that he's not actually playing a lot of minutes right now.

He's down to just under 18 min a night against the Canucks in this series. Meanwhile Bouchard is up at almost 28 and Ekholm is at over 24.

And then you look at 5v5 scoring in the series and you see that Nurse has been on the ice for 6 of the 8 Vancouver 5v5 goals against. At a certain point you need to start looking at why that is. And for as much shit as Ceci gets, and lots of it is deserved, at the end of tonight when the pairing was split up, one of them ended up without a GA and the other ended up with 2 GA.

Capt. Bouchbomb wins it late, nice!

 

[M Ace]

I would like to see Gagner get in the rotation next game

But only for the one game

Because he can be a difference maker for one game

Maybe one more 8 point game after all....

Also insane how every time the Canucks have needed a goal in these playoffs, especially in games that they've had no business winning, they've managed to just throw shit on net and get a bounce with near 100% efficiency.

Hasn't that been their MO since October?

I hope the universe has some real nasty makeup in store for them next year.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

One day some other Oiler you may not have heard of will score a goal in the playoffs. Until that day comes, we'll ride the 5 players who can contribute offensively

It's not a goal, but Kane is improving and does have three assists in the series. The last one on the game winner.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Why is the panel crying about the goal?

Because"an anonymous person" texted Elliotte that it was a high stick. It wasn't.

Gazdic asked him who sent the text and Elliotte grinned and said nothing. Almost guaranteed it was Tochett or one of his underlings. Would fit their M.O. this series.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Not sure if this was posted, but it's kinda funny.

 

[tiger_80]

He likes to throw the body . He goes to the dirty areas as well. We have some guys that can skate but have stone hands. I suggested this line at first of year:
Holloway McLeod Foegele

I would call it Stonehenge Line

Stone Hands line.

 

[nabob]

What are the Canucks going to cry about tonight?

All my Canucks fan friends are all up in arms over the Kane high stick on Myers and demanding he be suspended for “cross checking Myers in the face!!!” Claiming they have double standards for McDavid if they don’t suspend Kane.

Yeah, but they're a "special" bunch when it comes to this lol.

What high stick, what did I miss? I'm surprised they aren't also crying about the hit on Hronek.

Also insane how every time the Canucks have needed a goal in these playoffs, especially in games that they've had no business winning, they've managed to just throw shit on net and get a bounce with near 100% efficiency.

That's their entire season to be honest.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

Whenever I take a moment to fully appreciate the Bouch, I can't help but remember we bridged him because our GM is terrible.

Holland's final gift, as he is out relaxing in retirement with his $25M bonus from Katz, isn't 3M cap hit of Brown. It's the Bouch extension.

Zero chance in hell his agent was going for term when Bouch was poised to get prime time PP mins with us. The real fight was whether the bridge would be 1 or 2 years and we luckily got 2.

The shit talking Holland line starts around not upgrading Ceci before the playoffs and not LTIRing Kane and exploiting that extra cap room.

Myers got what he asked for. Skinny whiny bully.

Wonder what he thought about the 3 weak plays Zadorov made on that GWG sequence.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Nice to get the win and continue to be the better team.

Oilers gotta stop blowing 2 goal leads in the 3rd though.

Yes but two fluke goals and man someone has to win a face off in big moments in our zone. 3 straight list face offs led to a goal

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Zadorov had a tough time because he couldn't crosscheck someone. Defending in space is hard, cross checking, so much easier.

 

[Fishy McScales]

We got the 2022 Flames version of Zadorov this game.

 

[BeanBurrito]

I’ve been smoking weed all game. I hit 130 bpm when we won.

130 bong-hits per minute, thats a lot.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

It’s not a high stick though. I’m confused what the issue is.

The issue is they have a mental disorder

 

[Salvaged Ship]

This has too much the feel of last years Vegas series, hopefully game 5 is the Oilers best game of the playoffs. The Oilers buttholes seemed to pucker in that third period, could not clear the puck or win a face off. Need to play a 60 minute complete game tomorrow night
