These threads should be called, it’s why they play the game.

Did you see the one about the Oilers’ locker room celebration after winning game 6 vs Dallas? (Link at bottom of the article you posted)

Picking on Bonniedoon. Definitely not ok.

It’s Gustav Forrsling

Norris winning waiver wire D man!

The greatest possible Stanley cup matchup would have been New York vs Edmonton, this is the next best thing. McDavid in the finals is what hockey is all about. Edmonton's return to glory and one of the most passionate fanbase in all of sports vs the back to back Stanley cup finalists on a revenge tour. A machine who is only going to grow the game in South Florida even more.

TV ratings might get shattered.

I can't wait. Hang on to your seats folks. Grown men are going to weep. LFG !!!!!!

My source tells me he was about to ink a deal but then he saw the photoshot results and he backed away.

King and Canucks not exactly world beaters. Have either of them won a round onnthe ladt decade?
Stars were missing their number one center part of the series.
Both teams are better than their opponents that's no secret.

Best series of the play offs so far

Funny , the best series of the play offs so far is still the Knights Stars in the first round.

The stars #1 guy went shot less in two straight games lol

EDM when 7 games with a Vancouver team that has small d-core. I don't think people realize how dominate Fla. has been because elite goalies have kept others in games.

Edmonton struggled when Dallas on the forecheck when they started playing heavy below the blue line. If they can't handle Dallas doing that they have .000001 chance vs Fla.

Edmonton did not struggle. They turtled and went Vancouver Canuck in game 6, which I hated. They didn't struggle before that... They can't do that against Florida with a lead

Vocal.

Minority.


It isnt lost on me.

But your post seemed to imply that Oilers fans, by and large, think it will be a route of the Panthers. That's just not the case.

not that regular season stats mean much, but the Oilers are 12-2 in Sunrise since 2002

pretty crazy stat

I barely Remeber those games but I Remeber they were right when we hired knob? Didn't pickard play both?

5v5 possession was dead even. High danger chances, I think Florida had one more both games

Oilers blew 2-0 lead in the first one

Bob was amazing period 1 game 2 then Florida took over

 

[Mez]

Lmao

So cringe lol...Dallas wasn't physical...but LA and Vancouvers game plans were to hit the Oilers as much as possible.

 

[mkatcherin00]

Considering McDavid is a 2.0PPG player in general, limiting him to just 9pts in 7 games is pretty darn good.

Him and ekholm were also sick as dogs. I'm curious to see what's been bothering 97 all year. Something with shooting

 

[mkatcherin00]

Any good series+ rewinds to watch before this one gets off? Would like to see both teams highlights.

Serach up nhl mini movie on YouTube. Also see how many Hasek like saves silovs makes on Edmonton in that series

 

[mkatcherin00]

It's embarrassing that Lebrun would say that. Well, I'm not sure if it's embarrassing to say it, or embarrassing because it's true. The ability of a team to execute on the powerplay should have no impact whatsoever on whether or not penalties are called. Therefore, there should be no additional pressure on the referees. Just call the infractions on their own merit.

Maybe he's just saying the quiet part out loud.

This is how it always is. Just look at that game 1 vs Dallas. Refs didn't find one penalty on them. It was a too many men.

They will manage the series. NHL doesn't just call things by the book

 

[mkatcherin00]

That sure sounds like “Oilers can’t score 5v5, lots of pressure to try and make this close”.

Even though Edmonton was wayyy ahead in 5v5 goals this year....

I definitely can't wait for the actual game to start so we can stop seeing people spend hours designing elaborate symbolic logic arguments.

 

[eviohh26]

Why the f*** do we have to wait till June 8th for the Cup finals to start. NHL is a joke. May as well have game 7 of the Finals planned for Canada day at this point.

More like Hyman didn’t think he could make the team which was ironic considering we sucked.

Going to respectfully disagree in that New York v. Los Angeles is the best matchup for the league.
Two massive markets, two time zones, two media juggernauts is exactly what we should all hope for, excepting our own teams.

McDavid is a great draw but media has been ultra-cringe with its obsession on his production.
That's perhaps the biggest impediment to non-Oilers fan to jump in; if McDavid had been an elite defensive forward like Barkov, and produced less, this would be a chess match instead of checkers.

The f*** are you talking about? lmao

As this draws nearer I’ve realized that I don’t think my cardiovascular health can take it.

Hyman…and he’s coming out of a curtain vagina…incredible.

There were missed calls against Dallas, but it didn't bother me too much because they were remarkably disciplined. But your point is well taken, and it's the McDavid reality. Call the game as you should, and the Oilers will be on the powerplay the whole time. Obstruction/interference is the gameplan for him.

Can’t decide who’s gonna lay out one of the Oilers first, Chucky or Bennett.

You should also decide who's going to counter that with an odd man rush and score
