HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[vokiel]

Gretzky nailed it on TNT. Stars are dumping too much, and it doesn't lead to shots or opportunities because Oilers end up with the puck most of the time.

 

[The Great Weal]

How the f*** do you only master three shots in 15 minutes against Edmonton defense?

I will say, the Oilers have done a very good job not letting the other team shoot on them. Since May 1st (game 5 against the Kings), the Oilers have allowed on average 22.7 shots per game.

The Nooge!

[The Real Timo]

f*** off. I’m done with this game. Bullshit!

 

[The Great Weal]

Lol Stars are done

Bouchard has been very impressive those playoffs. Nurse should give him 50% of his salary. He plays like he is a dman from the 80ies and 90ies. Same style of play. That's refreshing to see.

Deboer should be fired this is sad.

Deboer should be fired this is sad.

Maybe the players should be responsible on how they play

Deboer should be fired this is sad.

He has always been a regular season coach. He had a few runs over the years but can't finish. He look lost in this series tbh.

I have a hard time blaming the guy who's coached his team to the Conference Finals 4 times in the last 5 years. The players are playing with zero intensity right now.

Its what I've been saying. Edmonton might not have the names outside of McDraichard, but they've been playing a really great team game for a while now. Nothing to do with the Oilers of past years.

Seen a couple of posts lately calling it the core 5 so I guess Rielly was added.

From the Big 3 to the Big 4 (when Tavares signed) to the core 4 and now the core 5. The big failure is more like it.

There was only one original big 3 in the 1970s

Three defenseman on the Montreal Canadians we all know who they are

I think Bouchard is making a name for himself in those playoffs. He plays like a legit number 1. If he keeps playing like that we'll have to consider him a borderline elite player. They have a better supporting cast than the previous year.

 

[No More Subban]

Wtf Dallas? 6 shots???

That 2018 top 12 had a lot of talent on defense.

It's funny how a lot of us actually knew we were scouting great players on the backend... and still were debating ass clowns like Zadina and Cacaniemi.

He sure is doesn't figure how Edmonton fans wanted him kicked out of the city

Duchene sucks lmao.

Absolutely. Their weakness is Skinner, and it makes the entire team look bad after a loss. "badly build team", "can't defend" etc, while the true reason is the guy between the pipe

 

[sampollock]

The oiler firepower it's too hard to handle

 

[TheBuriedHab]

6 Shots by Dallas halfway through the game. Just brutal

 

[sampollock]

What's with the green lights all up the stairs look stupid

It's not just the firepower. Look how they're suffocating the Stars. They did the same thing against Vancouver to close out the last two games of the series. Their players with size are using the body all the time. They move the puck extremely quickly. Man, I hope they win the cup.

Size sure helps in the playoffs we can see why Kent is focusing a little on that

Dallas 2nd goal in game 4 was so bad, I mean people blame Nurse for deflecting it with his *** but man that deflection was from a weak shot that was off the net by a mile. A peewee goalie should not give goals like that.

 

[sampollock]

Is Edmonton ever suffocating the Stars they can't do anything six shots and two periods
nice work oilers
