Post-Game Talk: Smiling Stu Shutouts x 2!

[FinPanda]

Nice of you guys beating that damn Vegas team. Hate them more than Washington.. Nice to see Kapanen scoring another game winner like WJC gold medal clinching goal. Good luck next round!

 

[McSuper]

I have to admit I was a big Skinner supporter but after his struggles this year I have all but given up on him. Back to back shutouts have me thinking I am John Wick.

You speak for many

Including me.

Just as we all predicted.

Ive been down on Skinner. Admittedly. But I’ve never gone after his weight. I have to say he doesn’t look overweight at all in this photo.

 

[Jumptheshark]

The depth we have is interesting.

F*ck you, Shoresy!

 

[Paralyzer]

Another one of my favorites too.

 

[The Panther]

Now work on the powerplay

This is my main concern also. The PP has been pretty bad of late.

I think they just need to throw the puck at the net more..

And put Leon at the point for a while.

 

[Ladyfan]

Beautiful win!

Congrats to the Oilers and fans!

Now win it all !

What stupid braggary shit will the next city in round 3 do.

LA: game 1 moustache pics
Vegas: billboards
Dallas: Probably claim their beef is better.

Perhaps this,

Dallas: our Oil Country is more Oil Country than yours is.

LATE SERIES STU IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN EARLY SERIES STU

Stu goes from Ty Conklin in Games 1-3 to Dominik Hasek in Games 4-7. It's quite remarkable

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Kapanen scores the game winner while our boneheaded media ask Nurse like 12 straight questions.

And that same f***ing question about "So you guys know how to defense, how?" lol

The Main Boards are a hoot. Before the LA series it was all about how LA was the better team this year with better depth. Then when the Oilers won it was ... LA is not all that. Wait until they have to face a real team in Vegas. And then a flood of Vegas depth etc posts. Now it is Vegas is old and slow...Wait until they have to face a real team in Dallas or Winnipeg. And this is almost a carbon copy of what was said last year.

In the post game interviews McDavid seemed quite pissed about being asked whether he expected that the Oilers could win this sort of defensive war. Even the media still thinks this team is just flash and dash.

It really is. I am not sure if I can think of another such example right now.

MuCH love @bellagiobob

Stauffer said to expect Ekholm back in round 3. ...

If he's right about that, this is the deepest forward and defense group that I've ever seen on an Oilers team

RNH-McDavid-Hyman
Podkolzin-Draisaitl-Kapanen
Kane-Henrique-Brown
Frederic-Janmark-Perry
Skinner, Arvidsson (two guys who have been top 6 forwards their entire career as the extras lol)

Ekholm-Bouchard
Nurse-Kulak
Walman-Klingberg
Stecher, Emberson
That's 8 guys who would be regulars on a lot of teams

That's some serious depth. I just hope they're not rushing Viking, he should only be out there if he's near 100% otherwise he could be a liability.

 

[bucks_oil]

F*ck you, Shoresy!

 

[scotchtapejr]

I think Stuart Skinner spent hours going through all my posts on hfboards, x, Facebook, various Teams chats, WhatsApp messages, SMS messages and finally decided to shut me up and prove me wrong.

Touche Stuart.

Everyone here owes me for all I've done and all the hatred I spewed.

You are welcome

*Princess curtsey*

That team is significantly stronger than the 2006 version so long as the goaltending holds up. Walman-Klingberg can rival any team's bottom pairing. The major ??? for me is is Ekholm really ready to play. If he is that defense is the best of the remaining teams. Who would have ever "thunk" that.

Woke up happy! And I have an erection. First time my penis has been over 1.5 inches in months. What a great day guys!!!!

Back to the conference finals!

 

[FlameChampion]

I’m thinking back to our dzone structure last time we played Vegas compared to the last two games. Talk about exact opposites.

Just another reason I’d be wary of hiring Woodcroft lol

Yeah the main forum is pathetic.

In pre series thread, people were saying Vegas had better forward depth. I guess the LA series didn’t count.

Its going to be the same thing with Dallas. Oilers depth outplayed Dallas depth last year and our forwards depth (and our defensive depth) are better than last year.

We will see how it goes. Rantanen is a big add for Dallas. I think they have been looked pretty average these playoffs though outside of Rantanen.

I think Edmonton has better forwards and defense than Dallas. I think they will have problems with our physicality too.

They have Oettinger though. But let’s not forget that Skinner outplayed him last year and is trending up.

 

[1981 Oilers]

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

I wonder if they still will claim McDavid is going to Toronto. They love bringing that one up. Who in their right mind would ruin their career and go to that gong show? Worst run team in all of sports and it’s not even close.
Bring back Dubas and Babcock. Give us more entertainment
