GDT: SCF | V | "Big Game Hunting" | Oilers @ Panthers | 5.18.24 | 6:00PM | SN

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Big block from Nurse there.

Massive period, 20 hard minutes and they'll drag them back to Edmonton.

Let's Go Oilers

 

[nabob]

Tkachuk with the two handed after the whistle. Just give him 10

 

[McDrai]

Butts will be clenched in the 3rd period. I have no doubt. The Oilers way

 

[iCanada]

Lol Nurse pulls out ratf*** and he shuts right the hell up.

 

[ZJuice]

If they're stuck with Nurse long term they need to convert him into a forward. he's not just not worth 9.25m, he's the worst defenseman on the team

I've been saying this for 2 years maybe more! The only time he looks good is driving the puck up the wing

 

[Thomas Tatar]

This is aging me.

Same.

 

[syz]

Welp, 2 goal lead in the 3rd... not nerve wracking at all. Hope the Oilers get the next one and don't just try and turtle for 20 minutes.

 

[mkatcherin00]

3 goal lead would have made me feel much more comfortable

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Tkachuk with the two handed after the whistle. Just give him 10

I don't get why the league allows this shit...

 

[sepHF]

Bennett gets away with so much bullshit

 

[tardigrade81]

One more period boys!!!

Just have to believe! Put your boners away. No time for that. We have a game to win!

 

[Satire]

Game Management on full display from the refs tonight. Gross.

Florida pushing hard. The boys gonna need to find their mojo again in the 3rd or it could be a long night.

 

[CupofOil]

Buzz off.

The team is working as a unit. Including the GM at this point.

All that f***ing guy does is bitch about Holland. It's Game 5 of the f***ing Stanley Cup finals, that guy need to get the f*** out of here.

Didn't Brown and Perry and Hyman, the Holland acquisitions, get huge goals in this game anyway?

 

[DrDrai]

The Panthers 2nd goal looms large. 4-1 would’ve been a different atmosphere in that building. Gotta find #5

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Bennett gets away with so much bullshit

It's the leagues fault they want this.

 

[YakDavid]

Bennett loves his late high hits. Wild the refs let it happen

 

[mkatcherin00]

Tkachuk with the two handed after the whistle. Just give him 10

Our guys play way too god damn nice. They should be dropping like a sack of potatoes and milking a slash.

That's what that motherf***er would do

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Please score an early goal in the third.

 

[K1984]

Thanks god.

Now maybe the coaching staff can remind this group what puck management means and what risk is and how we manage both crucial areas in the third.

That insanely stupid pass by McDavid to a *pinching* Ekholm with 40 seconds left was among the dumber plays I’ve seen an Oiler make this year considering the circumstance. He wasn’t the only one either.

Darnell Nurse has to be managed here if not outright parked. He’s getting absolutely killed, but we’re rolling him out la de da. Don’t pull a Woodcroft. He’s a mess tonight. Recognize it and adjust.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

One more period boys!!!

Just have to believe! Put your boners away. No time for that. We have a game to win!

Ok will do...

 

[Zguy370]

Draisaitl is injured, he's a warrior playing through it

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Boy it's so unfortunate Draisaitl is apparently compromised. However they need more than 30% face-off especially critical moment like that period close-out. McDavid at 29% but getting the production.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

3 goal lead would have made me feel much more comfortable

Yep! Lost loads of momentum after that second Panthers goal. This is going to be an incredibly stressful final 20.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Faceoffs have been an issue all playoffs. Really struggled against Vancouver.

 

[oobga]

We CAN NOT try to sit back tonight. So many idiots in our zone. Spend as much of the third as possible in the Florida end
