Post-Game Talk: Pickard orders McDavid to go warp speed

[soothsayer]

I wonder how many dirty pos plays McNabb's gotten away with. 100? 200? The guy has made a living getting away with dirty plays.

 

[PaPaDee]

Nice to get the win, but need to be much better. I hope there’s a couple line-up tweaks, including putting Stetcher in for Emberson.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Can I just say how massive it was to have the 4th line, in the 2nd with the team struggling to get anything done, to not only provide energy, but to give this team the lead.

Incredible performance from that group.

 

[McTedi]

If the dops gives arvi a fine or game for a missed trip, that just shows how biased they are

You don’t get suspended for an accidental trip.

Because he got hurt, is the NHL, they don't really think this stuff through. They more do things because people are mad.

I drank a lot of whiskey last night. Damn Oilers winning making me celebrate

Then again if they lose I do that too

Where can we see the interview?

I watched it live on SN so now it’s probably on X or something? It’s right at the end of his interview last question.

Ahhhhh good morning HFOil... Woke up with a big smile on my face. The sun is shining, it's a beautiful Friday..

Losing players in the slot is getting old I’ll say that. The PK is just terrible. The studs weren’t going so I’m not surprised the PP wasn’t either.

I didn’t think it was a beauty but I don’t think the Oilers were terrible either. It was a game on the road against a very good Vegas team that was giving everything they got to not go down 0-2. We won a game on the road with our stars playing like crap. There is no way we could say that last season.

6 wins in a row. Depth like we have never seen. A goalie that makes big saves late in the game. This is all with our best D out who is trying to recover as fast as he can for next series if we make it.

So many reasons for optimism.

Agree, we have yet to win the special teams battle in either game and specials tend to improve over a series with this team. Every game one line has guys playing the hero not named Connor or Leon. Scoring from the D. Picard playing just solid and last night was spectacular. The team game will adjust to what Vegas threw at the Oilers. McDavid hasn’t gone nuclear yet. And then there’s the home town cooking and crowd coming up.

Plenty of reasons to believe.

f*** off Stone, you’ve pretended to be hurt 3 years in a row so your clown show could get a major add at the deadline. Consider it Karma.

Considering the refs “miss” most of the Vegas penalties I’d say they owe us one or two.

If we beat the Knights, I can't wait for the media to say that Winnipeg or Dallas are the real deal and that LA and Vegas just weren't that good. Both LA and Vegas were pumped up as juggernauts before

Yeah, Gulutzan and Stuart both have a lot of video to review so they can make adjustments before Game 3. Whereas Stuart needs to adjust the PK configuration to account for the Eichel-Stone-Olofsson setup down low, Gulutzan's work may be more about tough love motivation than strategy.

Funny how the Knights whine after a missed call yet the Oilers somehow in every game get 5-6 called against them including a few phantom calls and the refs go blind when we have the puck.

I thought it was amazing with how much time we spent in their zone in game 1 that we were still negative in penalties.

Vegas plays remarkably clean!

Live look at Vegas dressing room...

 

[MikeS24]

Craig Button sucks wow

Now? always has

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Can we get rid of arvidson this offseason? He seems to take bad penalties and doesn’t do much on the ice . He’s lucky the refs never called the trip

8GP 1-3-4 +3


He's having a good playoffs.

 

[Biltmore]

Eichel has personnel up in the rafters frantically searching for his favourite jockstrap. Haven’t found it yet.

If they follow the skidmarks I'm sure they can come up with it.

The second period was dog shit? They were almost even in shots and outscored them 3-1. I thought the dog shit came in the third when they were getting dominated for minutes at a time.

I laugh at these losers in the media who say we had no business winning. We missed a lot of great chances and hit the post like 6 times.

Twitter is fun

Vegas fans - Roy was going for the puck

Also Vegas fans - oilers/arvidsson are so dirty!!!

Oiler fans are told to just play through it.

Weird how the script changes when it’s the other way
