Well that one was 0-0 for the longest time. I think well into the 3rd period. Then Patty scored, which was almost immediately followed by a horrible bullshit call on Clarkson (and typical Dustin Brown embellishment) and a lost faceoff led to a quick PP goal to tie it.This gives me vibes to our game 5 v LAK in 2012 tbh
Disappointed no one else got this one. Still gotta be one of the most ridiculous things a GM has said the last few yearsEnough about McDavid and Draisaitl. I'm no expert here, but I'm gonna say that if Tobias Rieder had 10-12 goals this series then the Oilers probably would not be down 3-0.
Whelp no sweep dang
Oops - when I originally responded back to this I thought you had typed game 4 and not game 5.This gives me vibes to our game 5 v LAK in 2012 tbh
I don't think it was really on Bob tonight. I didn't really like that Nurse goal, but the game was already probably long over before that. They pulled him after that one.Guessing Bob just choked mentally being one win away from the big prize.
I don’t think the oilers are in the same tier as Florida.
How significantly do you think tonight impacts Bob's conn smythe chances? After tonight believe he's at .911 for the final and a .909 overall for the playoffs. Could definitely see a mediocre showing in game 5 despite a win mean it goes to Barkov.I don't think it was really on Bob tonight.

It's been 26 years since a sweep in the cup finals after a stretch of 4 finals sweeps in a row from 95-98.
Maybe we're due for one, but I don't think Edmonton is bad enough to get swept. That Montreal team in 2021 was significantly worse than this Oilers team and even they lasted 5 games. Their best players were a couple of mid 30s guys that were playing their last games of pro hockey, and they finished at the bottom of the league a year later.
Of course Edmonton aren't good without their two best players, but McDavid/Draisaitl >>>>>> well into their 30s Price and Weber.
I think it's probably over in game 5.

I had a feeling at 2-0 Oilers it was gonna be a blowout. Didn't have much of a final score in mind, just a blowout win.Alright, who had 8-1 on their bingo card?
