[Breakers]

McDavid needs to BURN that lucky grey suit.

Get a some lighter fluid and roast that thing

Since he has declared that his “lucky” suit he has been accosted by some degenerates trying to buy liquor and he has lost the 2 most important games of his career


Burn that thing today

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

the fact people thought Draisaitl was gonna get disciplined for his hit when Bennett received nothing for his hit to Marchand is something else
I'm betting Barkov plays Thursday...Marchand missed a few games

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Florida looks like a Daryll Sutter team I’m loving it!

 

[Tofveve]

This has been a vicous series so far. Very entertaining though extremely frustrating for Edmonton no doubt.

 

[Cup or Bust]

In every series the Oilers have had so far it seems like every game has gone back and forth between the teams. Very few games have been both teams playing good at the same time. We will see if that trend continues and it's the Oilers turn to play like they did in game one again and swing the momentum a little bit back the other way. I guess they will have to if want a chance in the series, obviously a loss and it's over.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

I'll steer clear of discussing refs and cheap shots, and just comment on entertainment value of the first two games, since there is so little of it. The talent and level of play is as high as it has ever been, but watching Florida's defense clamp down after even a one-goal lead is getting tiresome. Of course they're perfectly coached, and playing that system is taking every ounce of their effort, but long spells with no real scoring chances is as exciting as watching the late 90's Devils. It is too bad this marquee series can't be more interesting.

Exactly. The Panthers are destroying the excitement with their style of play. They need to open it up so that McDrai has better scoring chances. If the Panthers do not figure it out by themselves then the league has impose a fine or even forfeit the wins for the Oilers. The Panthers' clutcg-and-grab and trap bs is killing this sport.

Who cares about Bennett? We are talking about last night. Was Drai's hit clean or dirty?

You better not cry one second if the shor goes the other way

No matter how dirty the hit they are all clean against Edmonton

I actually think most of these playoffs the hockey has been pretty bad, at least in the Oilers series. Lots of games have been one team outplaying the other and/or one team hanging on to the lead and just spending half the game icing or clearing the puck. Very few games have been entertaining back and forth games. You get some fun out of it if your favorite team is winning but honestly if I was not a fan of the Oilers I would never watch these games, I think the entertainment from a pure hockey stand point is pretty bad. The Oilers are as guilty of it as any other team and this seems to be the style to win in the playoffs this season.

 

[BB88]

move on

So seriously a flying elbow to McDavid is just 2mins and you’ll be okay?

In reality the world would be burning

"Your best players have to be your best players"

Hyman with the McDavid/Draisaitl call out

He said that shaving in front of a steam covered mirror right?

It doesn't matter at this point...the FL system is the problem for the oilers. They can't solve it and Skinner isn't a cup winning goalie.

Try Pickard. Probably have a better chance.

 

[Catscountry40]

League is a joke. Just unreal. It was the only way Edmonton could even have a chance and the league let them get away with it.

 

[T REX]

dirty...he got a penalty for it

move on

Appreciate the honesty. Since Bettman wants ratings instead of fairness...FL after shutting down the oilers again...will mete out justice late in the 3rd...just a guess.

Twas dirty as shit.

This is the highest and most competitive stage in hockey.

Hopefully Drai can reflect on it, not do it again and score some f***ing goals!

I know I would.

I sure as hell hope this is sarcasm.

I didn't think Kuemper or Hill were cup-winning goalies.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Who cares about Bennett? We are talking about last night. Was Drai's hit clean or dirty?

Both should have been suspensions.

Draisaitls was worse in my opinion

yes I am
this is the SCF

The problem with the hit and non suspension is that this stage is far too big for bs like this

There’s a world of difference with Florida going to Edmonton with a 2-0 lead with healthy Barkov and going to Edmonton with a 2-0 lead and injured Barkov.

 

[elmaco]

Both should have been suspensions.

Draisaitls was worse in my opinion

At least Bennett tried to hide it, Drai just going full Stevens on Barkov.

 

[BB88]

You know that’s not true

There’s already been nothing but crying post game when their superstar was doing the dirty work. Can’t imagine how that would change if their superstar got the flying elbow

 

[goldenblack]

Might be the momentum shift we've all been waiting for!

 

[T REX]

I sure as hell hope this is sarcasm.


I didn't think Kuemper or Hill were cup-winning goalies.

"Adin Hill was 11-4-0 in 16 games with a goals against average of 2.17 and a save percentage of . 932 in the 2023 playoffs. He won his first Stanley Cup."

"Darcy Kuemper was 10-4-0 in 16 games with a goals against average of 2.57 and a save percentage of .902 in the 2022 playoffs"

I do not think a sub .900 will win the cup, JMHO

Again...just my humble opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.

Might be the momentum shift we've all been waiting for!
