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

[Oilslick941611]

Listening to Friedman this morning and it literally sounds like he’s cheering for Vegas

listen to his comments from the LA series " LA has more Power Plays becasue they are outplaying Edmonton" Edmonton then goes on to dummy LA for 3 straight games and sitll get less PP's than LA.

Elliot doesn't like the Oilers, I dont blame him for it, media has to be neutral, but Elliot is literally the face of Rogers coverage, so his biases are hard to hide with all the dog whistling and little comments he makes. They were quick to remove Luke Gazdic though from Oilers content after his comments on Vancouver fans ( which was hilarious and clearly hit a nerve of truth) In elliots case he's just jealous that EDM has had more success lately than the TML

I'd love to see Jeff Skinner get another shot. You have to feel for the guy...plays that many games before finally seeing some playoff action and he's a one and done?



You know, this is probably the friendliest I've seen this board now that most of the posters on here sound like you and I and @Drivesaitl from six months ago...

Well the good news is, if we win the Cup, Jeff Skinner got his first cup in his first playoffs and he would get his name on the cup. So that's a win in itself lol. From what I heard from other players, Jeff Skinner is a team player, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to help the team. So I'm pretty sure he doesn't mind not playing. He'll get his shot I am sure. We still got minimum 10 more games to go, and I am sure someone will need time to rest one game, or potentially injured. Having this kind of depth is amazing for us as well.

Neither player should be looking at a suspension here.

Super frustrating that when sunbelt teams whine about missed calls everything gets elevated and when Canadian teams whine about missed calls they get fined.

A cross check to the face that broke his nose doesn't deserve a suspension?

Honestly I’d make one adjustment after last night.

Scratch Emberson. Dress Stetcher.

The VGK forecheck is too much for Emberson so he constantly panics with the puck.

Watching the post game - love McDavid being pissed off about the game.

We may just get a McRedemption game in game 3 and we still won game 2. Guy doesn't have two bad games in a row.

In the context it happened, IMO no. A major penalty was the correct call and it's good enough.

But I have no interest in arguing with this board about officiating decisions so I'll leave it at that.

I'm pretty sure they all just want the team to win. J-skins wants to be out there, Max Jones wants to be out, so does Derek Ryan, but they're winning with this group, so they aren't likely to change much.

As you said it's still a long road ahead and alot can happen, but this is the situation now, and they are accept it and cheer for the group, or it's going to be a rough time.

Love this post and your positivity. I don't want us to mess too much with our winning formula, or lose anyone to injury, but the odds say you're probably right!

Yeah, seems like the call to make now, especially with the pk struggles

[Oilslick941611]

f***ing Frank and his dumb shit, of course there wouldn't be

to be fair, i doubt he this on purpose. He said on the DFO that he doesn't think it rises to a suspension, and called it an accident and saw no ill intent on the play.

The funny part is it will be messed with next series because Ekholm could be ready, and that's where we swap him with Emberson. Then we got even more depth. I don't think I've ever seen this team fire at all cylinders in a long time. Not since 2006 even. Every year, it was either McDavid or Draisaitl. So it's great to see the whole team sharing the load, and everyone has their role.

i'm being lazy here.....did it break his nose?

Why change a winning lineup.
Emberson hasn't been a minus player in any of the games these playoffs and I am not sure that Stecher will be a better option on PK.
Keep him playing while we are winning

 

[Drivesaitl]

Why, looked to me like the slightest of touches. And he would know. Then he lies on the ice like he’s been shot.

If that is a penalty they need to start calling 10 penalty’s a game on the contact mcdavid takes.

Sticks between legs is dangerous, especially along the boards and when a D is trying to turn. They have no way of knowing the stick is there. Its one of the dirty tricks in hockey. Its again a dangerous play due to the amount of times players spill hard into the boards when this happens.

 

[MikeS24]

I know they are a new franchise, but damn only 14 posts in the GDt on Vegas' forum lol

And about 10 are from the same poster/mod

You can't be a minus player playing only 7 mins or less while the rest of the D are playing 28+ mins. I think Stecher in the lineup would be a positive along with Arvid taking the dayoff and brining in Jeff Skinner.

 

[Cloned]

Mains are gonna melt down if Roy gets suspended while Arvidsson doesn’t even get a hearing.

I’m here for it.

 

[Austerlitz]

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

The media will be so busy fellating the Leafs if they take down the Panthers, we may not hear a thing about the West.

You'd have to think a good chunk of the people at their games are tourists who barely know the rules, and many likely drunk and/or high as a kite (cause come on...VEGAS).

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Give Arvid a day off and bring in Jeff Skinner.

Could be good for us tbh

I would love to know how many tickets get comped.

Utter nonsense Roy’s play was awful. Not a hickey place and malicious
