Post-Game Talk: Oilers with the reverse orca card

[Reasonable Oil Fan]

Whew!!!!!
That was close!
Thank god Vancouver only played 10 minutes

 

[Broberg Speed]

I’d be down for it. I’m not a 100% sold on Stecher though. Wish we had another option but Holland.

Only a little bit of a difference between the argument of Pickard over Skinner vs Stecher over Ceci.

Do it.

 

[oobga]

Can we talk about how lucky the Canucks have been? Oilers have dominated 80 percent of the play. They have gotten alll the luck

Yeah. As soon as they need a goal late the deflections just come at will. All season just endless luck in their favour. Tocchet must be doing some dark magic. Hope he runs out of sacrifices for next season.

 

[Heavy Dee]

And splitting McDavid and Draisaitl. Scratching Ceci is next on the list.

If they are serious about winning they will do this.

 

[Faelko]

Bieksa and McLean saying it was a good goal now

 

[elmeroil]

Where's that Broberg poster shit talking Bouch, oh yeah on ignore....carry on

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

He did make a great pass on the first goal. The Oilers are leaning too heavily on McDavid and Draisaitl. At least RNH and Kane contributed today. Would be good if at least Foegele, Perry and Mcleod chipped an odd goal here or there.

We still need more from the depth no doubt

 

[tiger_80]

Say what you want, evander f***ing kane won us this game on that one hit on hronek alone

The Nucks looked dejected at the end. They thought they turned it around and got scored on in the final seconds. Game 4 is also quite strategic. If the Oilers win the next one, they will be firmly in the driving seat when they get back to Edmonton.

Let’s not have this turn out like the Vegas series please.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Remember all the posters who wanted Bouchard gone at the beginning of the year??

Pickard was exactly what this team needed. Just make the saves you need to and make sure the team isn’t down 1-0 in the first 5 shots against

Yeah. 500X this season posters slammed me saying theres no way Pickard can be the guy, take your head out of your ass, Skinner is starter, Pickard has never been yada yada.

Course not one of those posters will admit who has been the better goalies and who was again tonight with season basically on the line. Should be Pickards net rest of series. How can it not be?

If McDrai are not ridiculously bad in coverage in third period Pickard gets a shutout. Both McD and Drai were weak on the respective Nucks goals. That has to stop. Stop being tentative, get pucks out, force pucks out, win one more play.

I don't watch Canuck games but not sure why everyone is so high on Quinn Hughes. I agree he's got amazing skating ability but that seems about it.

I have no idea why more of our forwards haven't pasted him. He was basically crying after the mcdavid high stick while mcdavid after his cross check was joking it's part of the game.

Bouchard has completely outplayed him these playoffs. Anyone who watch more Nuck games full me in on what's all the hype?

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Panel can sit on that supposed high stick by Drai. Just sit on it.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

97 did not have a good game and we won. Will need more from him going forward

 

[Heavy Dee]

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

I find Hrudey pretty damn fair

 

[TheNumber4]

Knoblach is a hero. Full credit for putting Pickard in net, also for putting Holloway in the top six. Finally a coach who has a clue!

He has an amazing read of the game and players. Been pressing the right buttons all year. He also wasn’t taking any shit when media were questioning if he was coaching the team to be soft, he knew exactly what he was doing.

My grandma passed away last night. She was one of the biggest oilers fans and one of the greatest people. Bernice Black watches over the oilers now. Like Obi Wan over Luke.

Sorry to read this man. Sending the love!

.905 was enough though the 2 goals came at a very stressful time.

 

[Drivesaitl]

So I predicted a 6-2 Oiler win and Calvin Pickard would be a star. didn't get the 6 goals because the Oilers f***ing passed off so many opportunities and were horrible finishing tonight.

 

[Ibanez]

Panel can sit on that supposed high stick by Drai. Just sit on it.

And rotate!!!!

 

[McAsuno]

Nuck fans be like REFS COST US THE GAME, ITS A HIGHSTICK WAAAAAH

 

[Sanchez]

So Skinner starts game 5?

 

[tiger_80]

Whew!!!!!
That was close!
Thank god Vancouver only played 10 minutes

When they do turn it up, they can dominate in the offensive zone like Draisaitl and McDavid. Their queen is quite good at controlling and distributing the pucks.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Draisaitl has been the best player in these playoffs.
