Post-Game Talk: Oilers with the reverse orca card

[frag2]

must win and Picks did it

Even though nurse and Ceci split up
They still scare me

 

[McShogun99]

Amazing what close to .900 goaltending can do for this team.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

someone got a gif or vid of the game winner

post it

Guys Sportsnet is sub-SCTV level analysis.

Bob and Doug have more insight after 23 Molson stubbies

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

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

 

[Ibanez]

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.

Our puck luck is terrible and the nucks puck luck has been insane. Maybe the tide will turn.

Let’s go!!!!

 

[McBeastMode]

Sportsnet had to lower the volume, after Bouch scored.... Loudest fans in the league..

 

[Ninety7]

Ceci needs to be stapled to the bench or in the PB.

 

[Canovin]

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

Who has a highlight of Kane hitting Hronek?

 

[Broberg Speed]

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

too much soy

thanks

Ladies and gentlemen... Eval Bouffey...

Who has a highlight of Kane hitting Hronek?

It's in the video I just posted, it was a massive hit

 

[McAsuno]

 

[snipes]

That Pickard start though

 

[Drivesaitl]

Seems we lose every key faceoff in big moments and it bites them

Remember I was saying Mcd was nervous tonight? He was the whole game. But both Mcd and Drai were bad in those GA sequences. They just have to be better on those. Thought it was a suspect own zone game for them in third period. you hate to say it but I saw some not panic, but tentative play rather than agressively pressuring pucks out. you have to do that against the Canucks. Pressure at the line because everything they generate comes from there.

 

[elmeroil]

Drai's facial expressions just priceless

 

[TheNumber4]

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.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Draisaitl has been the best player in these playoffs.

Yes he has been and not really close 97 has not been good most of this series

 

[tiger_80]

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?

I think he's great. Tremendous skater, excellent puck control, passing, quarterbacking the powerplay. He's a essentially a smaller better skating Bouchard.

 

[MoontoScott]

Bouchard and Pickard were major difference makers but the best game of the series for both Nuge and Kane was the icing on the cake.

What an exciting game and full credit to Drai for not giving up in that last minute.

 

[CupofOil]

If they are serious about winning they will do this.

They have to, there's no room for "feelings" in this. You want to win you need to play the best players or in this case sit the worse ones. I'm not sure how much more of a sample size Knoblauch needs to make this decision. Didn't bite them tonight but Ceci tried his hardest, nice guy so it sucks that he's not better but he's a struggle and it needs to be addressed.

 

[McAsuno]

Lost my f***ing voice after Bouch's GWG. Have class at 8:30 am tomorrow. I love you all. Good night, brothers. LFG OILERS

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

This series should be over now. Time to hold the pedal down.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Hey we got a . 900 save % and won. Who knew?

Also that extension for Bouchard is going to be a monster.

 

[McSomnii]

Once the Canucks tied it, I was incredibly tempted to just turn the stream and radio off; glad I stuck around, even though this game was once again closer than it should have been.

I'm not all that bullish on either Stecher or Broberg, but watching Ceci flounder yet again has me wondering if he should spend the next game watching from the press box.
