Post-Game Talk: Smiling Stu Shutouts x 2!

[bellagiobob]

Make it make sense.

Van fan here. Was gonna post this ahead of time but I was afraid I might jinx it.

Suppose to be golden knight not shadow knight but you know, you get the idea.

Two reasons I'm rooting for you guys, neither of which are worth mentioning.

Stu shit-talker here but buddy killed it the last two games. Oilers played great in front of him
but he made the saves he needed too

If EDM can play overall team D like this, Skinner will put up good numbers. Can't leave goalies out to dry. This type of D is how they looked during their 16 game winning streak .

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Jackson: Skinner, Arvidsson, Emberson

Bowman: Kapanen, Walman, Klingberg

Kane is the X factor.

Keep Jackson away from the phones July 1!!!!

Hopefully Stars and Jets go to 7

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.

Didn’t we literally win two shutout games in a row against the Sharks in 2017?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Make it make sense.

The guy is literally Jekyll and Hyde

 

[Dhockey16]

Mea culpa. I talked mad sh t on Skinner. He could have two more shutouts and I'd still be worried about every shot but the net is clearly his. Go Oil. 8 to go.

Did we? Feels like a lifetime ago lol.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Did we? Feels like a lifetime ago lol.

2-0 Game 2 and 1-0 Game 3. Talbot was nails that year though. I remember the Kassian game and that Slepyshev scored on a breakaway lol

 

[McAsuno]

McDavid even looked furious in the handshake line!

Channeling his black mamba.

 

[MikeS24]

You can see this teams maturation the last few years. I know he sounded like a goof (spec), but I really believe these guys have had their Steve Yzerman moment.

As staples said tonight, you got to play and decide to play championship defense

Haha love it! That's the attitude that wins Championships!

 

[Moregoalspls]

That was a weird ass game. But we take thoughts

 

[wiz64]

What I love about the team right now is the way they do not rely on their superstars to save the day but rather play a greasy playoff game crashing the net, veteran depth showing when it's needed

Depth actually showing up is a big part of it imo. When you've got 4 lines scoring goals you gain the luxury of being able to tell Draisaitl to just go out and neutralize Eichel because you don't need him trying to force offense to win for once. Then he sets up the winner anyways.

Drai's mindset is exactly what it will take for this team to win a championship.

 

[bellagiobob]

Definitely exhausted, probably just wants a few brews

Hopefully he doesn’t go to the liquor store himself again.

 

[Mantis]

LFG

Wow

Hey bud

 

[bellagiobob]

Damn, you are quick with your X posts, know I know how Vegas feels, always a step behind.

 

[bellagiobob]

Peterpan claiming to be injured. Let’s have a round of applause for the Oiler forwards who punished the Vegas defense at every opportunity. Zach Hyman with 13 hits tonight. 13. That’s an unreal number.

Hopefully these playoffs finally puts to rest the talk of KK being a pu**y and that the Oilers won’t hit because of their coach’s philosophy. It’s about having his eye on the prize the entire season, knowing that he had an older group, and it made zero sense to be a hitting machine in the regular season. He also knew that Kane being back would drag everyone into the fight.

 

[bellagiobob]

Some people were chapped that we didn’t get Carlo and Laughton.

Leafs lead the league in absolutely horrible trade deadline deals, it’s almost uncanny how they do it every year.

 

[bellagiobob]

Just as we all predicted.
