Post-Game Talk: Smiling Stu Shutouts x 2!

[MoontoScott]

He did great and deserves praise. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t terrible earlier and didn’t deserve criticism…

Not rocket science

Stu deserves great credit for the last two games but the fact is that Pickard saved the season in the first round.

 

[Leonardlizard]

Insane!!!

 

[Cloned]

McDavid can barely talk lol.

Too much cellying in the room.

Not rocket science

There's a difference between criticizing his play and making statements like "The Oilers are finished with Stuart in net" or "this series is over" when Pickard got hurt. Some of you lost faith. Shame!

 

[CupofOil]

We had to wait 2 years revenge is SWEET.

We can believe, Skinner was great, Pickard will be back, Ekholm will be back!! It’s happening THIS YEAR!!

Is Ekholm confirmed back for next round? I've been out of the loop on Oilers news with a new job taking up a lot of time.

 

[Ibanez]

I called the Kapanen winner because it was just perfect to do that. The only Oiler that hasn't scored a goal, and in fairness only his 2nd playoff game.

@RegDunlop also called Kapanen after I did. I inspired him and Kap. heh

Beauty call sir

 

[VainGretzky]

McDavid is sick explains a lot

 

[McHelpus]

McDavid sounds like he got eliminated lol

 

[yukoner88]

Glad they closed the deal tonight!

Dallas is going to be a tough outting, so the chance to reset and get healthier is going to be huge.

 

[RegDunlop]

Credit to Eichel. Arguably the best player in this series but on an island

Agree. I'll save my post for another day but... he is actually an incredible hockey player.

 

[Drivesaitl]

There is no way previous Oilers teams in the McDrai era would’ve been able to post two straight shutouts. They’ve learned how to win.

I mentioned earlier that halfway into an elimination game, on home ice, Vegas had only 7SOG and two of those were just dump ins. So 5 shots.

That said Vegas had a popgun offense in this series and none of their stars contributed.

Eichel still with only 10 playoff goals his whole career. Once Stone was injured Vegas were done. Hertl, Barbashev, complete jokes.

 

[KCC]

Stu needs an apology from everyone here

He closed this series out.

6.5 periods of shutout hockey

Good on him. I am happy for him. But I still don’t trust him. He can easily go back to soft goals and letting in back breaking goals. I still want the team to go back to pickard when he is ready and I stand by it.

 

[Cloned]

McDavid is sick explains a lot

I don’t think he’s sick he probably just spent the last 20 minutes yelling and partying.

 

[McAsuno]

Is Ekholm confirmed back for next round? I've been out of the loop on Oilers news with a new job taking up a lot of time.

Last reported news for Ekky.
Hope the jets don't lose tomorrow to allow the team and especially Ekky for time to rest and be ready to play.

Go Jets!

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Best night ever fellas. We bitch slap Vegas putting them in their place after 2022. Kapanen and Skinner making me look like an absolute moron and I could not be happier.

And now I await probably one of the funniest LFRs ever.

 

[ConnorNova0929]

I'm really happy for Stu Skinner. Guy is a good teammate and cheered Pickard on when he had his run. Good to see him have success (especially because it means the team has success)

 

[WaitingForUser]

Don’t want to get ahead of myself, but man if we can take care of win/dal we are looking to be in a good spot to have home ice advantage in the finals.

If the Canes and Panthers both make the ECF the western conference has home ice in the finals. If we make it we will not only have home ice we will have an entire country behind us. The world knows about the Fans in Edmonton it’s legendary: Home ice in Edmonton matters.

 

[McAsuno]

TALK YOUR f***ING SHIT ADMIN

 

[VainGretzky]

McDavid sounds like he got eliminated lol

He i s sick look at his eyes he wants sleep

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Draisaitl was a key part of that goal so maybe people can take a break from shitting on him. I know this hasn't been his strongest series (or playoffs) but he was involved in all 3 OT goals.

I’m hoping we can end up with seven days of recuperation. I have a pretty strong inkling he needs it. The great thing is we have won 8 of the 16 we need without much supernova McDrai. And you know that has to happen sooner or later.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Did Sami Kapanen ever win a Cup? Gene asked Kasperi about his parents and he didn’t seem super sure that his dad was proud, said his mom was for sure watching, also mentioned his dad is his idol.

I hope Kasperi gets his name on it, especially if his dad never did

Edit: nope Sami never won a Cup. Kasperi would have the better career if he gets his name on it

 

[CupofOil]

Last reported news for Ekky.
Hope the jets don't lose tomorrow to allow the team and especially Ekky for time to rest and be ready to play.

Go Jets!

Taking light skates doesn't sound promising but at least there's a chance

 

[Oilhawks]

Love McDavid having none of the bullshit from the reporters tonight. Dialed in

 

[CROTT]

Draisaitl attitude is really rubbing of on McDavid in interviews.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

“McDavid why are you so pissy?”
