Rewatching game 5 on Sportsnet right now. Straight vibes today, f*** Bure, f*** Luongo f*** Jokinen

Let's gooooooo

Is it confirmed Holloway is out for Kane?

Some thoughts:
- Holloway hurt us last game with a turnover. Struggled in other parts of the game too.
- Holloway has been awesome for us though. Really works well with Leon on the rush, and probably still provides better rush offence than Kane at this point.
- Absolutely hated Kane’s game leading up to this scratch, it was a good 3-4 games too where he’d kill plays in the o zone.
- I trust Holloway’s puck touches and overall game more than Kane’s still
- however, Tkachuk looks like he wants to finally show up, Kane might be what we need to get in his head and make him disappear again

Whatever Knob does I trust. But those are my thoughts. Tough call here, but Knob will make the right choice.

If that happened i would be pleased Dmytrow.

Kind of random thought but I find it kind of funny how silent the prime minister has been on a Canadian team in the finals, the guy was actively rooting for the Habs a few years ago but he’s probably cheering for the panthers this year

 

[elmeroil]

Another Bonus hockey game, hope they can get it done! I believe they can

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Me too

You're about 900km up north from me.. Enjoy the early morning hockey..

Why did you need to bring that in here? And he has posted things about the oilers.

Nurse and Broberg got caved last game, they were a big part of why we couldn't get the puck out in the back half of the game. I thought 25 was our worst player by far, and he's supposed to be the steadying vet on that pair. They ended the game with something atrocious like 4% xGf, and have a 31% xGF% for the series. They are being bailed out by Skinner. I know Knob probably won't go with Nurse-Kulak and Broberg-Ceci but I think those are the best options with what we have.

Rob Brown was saying Kulak is uncomfortable on his offside. Man Stetcher would be a godsend right about now

This is the ultimate trap game, and I think the pressure is squarely on the Oilers right now actually.

This isn’t a trap game at all.

I was just remember back to previous times Canadian teams made the finals and this time just feels different from a Canadian perspective. I haven’t personally seen a peep about the oilers this year but there’s been a lot to filter through

Edit: had to Google and scroll a long ways to find a very brief hashtag let’s go oilers from the PM. So I do stand corrected

 

[HellebuyckOurSaviour]

Jets fan here, at first i was rooting for the Panthers cause of Maurice, but now since they have had 2 opportunities to close it out and have choked, i hope you guys come back and win the cup. McDavid has that look in his eyes like MacKinnon had when the Avs won the Stanley Cup, and there was no stopping him. Party like its May. 24th 1990 tonight.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Is it too early to start drinking?

It's 10:30am here, and I'm at work. But I need a goddamn drink.

LETS DO THIS!

Trust that Knoblauch has a good feel for his roster and isn't just making stupid moves that anyone could point to. He knows what he's doing better than any of us.

He also put Nurse and Ceci back together too though IIRC. Might've cost us one of the first two games.

 

[tardigrade81]

Let’s win !!!

 

[cruisecity]

You can not regularly trot out Nurse-Broberg.

We should consider sitting Nurse at even strength. Let him get his minutes on the PK where he isn't horrible, otherwise run 5 defencemen at even strength. Ekholm can double shift a bit, Broberg can double shift a bit. Bouchard for the PP and ES. I'm comfortable with all of our guys double shifting at ES besides Nurse and Ceci.

 

[McDoused]

I'm loving the tears from flames fans. 7:25 and at 10:22. 49:40 is also pretty good.

 

[Oilslick941611]

If he just needed a week off why didn't they do this earlier?

Hernia, its gonna bother him until he gets it fixed surgically

What a salty bunch my god

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

Pulling hard for you fellas tonight. Force it to Game 7 and I’m not betting against the best player on the planet.

 

[PuckG]

Ideally, he should have gotten surgery in March. It's an 8 week recovery and he would have been 100% for the playoffs.

Seems like a missed LTIR opportunity since it’s nOt cHeATiNg.

 

[Hollywood55]

We need an early PK to gain momentum

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

We need an early PK to gain momentum

Or like 2 or 3 early goals, both would be welcome.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

If that happened i would be pleased Dmytrow.

I need a phone number…there’s a couple of Lottos I’m considering.

 

[TheNumber4]

Cats are gonna get blown the f*** out of Alberta tonight.

I, for one, would certainly welcome that. lol.
