Out of Town Thread - Playoffs Edition

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Why do they keep playing Desharnais? Hes a big guy, but not that physical, and he loses all of the puck battles

Its another Ken Holland failure in a long list of failures

Ekholm essentially is saving Bouchard
Broberg untested
Desharnais is a fish out of water
Nurse is a cluster

Needed another quality D but nope gotta keep those mid 20 first rounders while ylu waste prime McDrai

 

[Frank Drebin]

Because they didn’t wanna spend a 3rd on Eddy

Fan banter on hf isn't really indicative of real world dealings. Who knows what was offered or requested.

Vegas PP again. Bjustad goes for tripping.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That was a 2 on 0, but Marchessault decided to drive in himself. Glove save by Skinner.

That 4th line of Vegas's that includes Carrier & Howden is going to be a handful.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Goalies keeping it close in the 2nd

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

More incidental contact then anything

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Not sure what's confusing Woodcroft on that. Hyman hit a player who hadn't touched the puck. That's interference.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Let's go Oilers

Deliver us from the cringe

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Coincidental minors I think. Crosscheck to Kane. Trip on Eichel.

4 on 3 for Vegas for 20 seconds. Ok nevermind 5 on 4 .

Eichel toepicked after the small crosscheck.

Not a fan of the call though in real time im sure the ref didnt see it or just didnt want any controversy so did the safe thing and called both

 

[the valiant effort]

Looks like McDavid hurt his elbow on a semi missed hit

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Edmonton getting almost nothing from RNH

 

[Team_Spirit]

Edmonton getting almost nothing

Fixed

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Edmonton PP. Roy hook. Bouchard definitely made sure refs saw that. Lol Grabbed the stick between his arm & body.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

If Vegas can even just not have McDrai run wild, then they will take this series

Not impressed at all from Oiler secondary players. Kane, Hyman, Nuge kinda there waiting for others to do something. They got by LA with a few timely goals from these 3 but far from consistent

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Awful PP that time

Pretty much rely on McDavid having to breakdown the box. RNH literally stands there. No threat whatsoever

 

[MadMslm]

I would not bet for any team having Brossoit as their number 1.

Not sure why the hate for all Canadian teams but Mtl on this forum. I wish Edmonton will win they have a fun team to watch and vegas is kind of meh.

I get what your saying.

Personally, I have no attachement to other canadian teams. Them winning won’t make me feel better or patriotic in a sense.

Habs are the last canadian team to win a cup and hopefully the next one.

15 sog after 40...

Oilers are lucky to still be in this. Should be a great 3rd.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Darnell Nurse situation feels like it could age like PK Subban. Overpaid washed up D signed long term who doesnt bring enough offense or defense for what they are paid to be

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Oilers start 3rd on a PP due to a punch in the face from Pietrangelo on Bouchard.

Marchessault made a hilarious move on Nurse earlier. He was at side of net & Nurse came over to crosscheck him. Marchessault stepped aside and Nurse crosschecked air and almost fell flat on his face.

I've forgotten what a little bitch Marchessault is. Lol

 

[CapSpace]

Desharnais is aweful.

This reminds me of something...

Yeah, he's not going to age well. He just turned 28, so he should be ok for another 2-3 seasons, but once his skating/athleticism starts to drop off post-30, he doesn't have the IQ to make up for it.

The last 3 years of his contract will be rough.

 

[expy]

Hat trick!

 

[Kennedys]

Wow Draisaitl hat trick !

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Draisaitl. 3-3. Another PPG.
