Well, almost silent. Someone's still happy.

She must be on something because that can’t happen when sober

Wonder how much that fill-up is going to cost?

Florida is going to play this third period vs Edmonton like we did vs Tampa in Game 6.

 

[Avs_19]

Oilers going out sad.

Feel for my Oilers fan friends. Don’t feel for Perry.

I’d have less gray hair if we had a 3 goal lead in the 3rd period vs Tampa in game 6, but we were only up by one and it was a nail biter

Insane in the cap era you can build a cup team that has only 3 drafted players on it.

Perry going down in history as an all-time loser just feels so right. It's a shame he got the one in '07

 

[AvsMakar08]

1 goal in 7 periods by the Oilers... not exactly going to have success now are ya?

You will have a sad class to teach tomorrow but the kids might be on a summer brake by now...

Actually it might be better because when you draft MacKinnon, McDavid, Mikko, Draisaitl etc…eventually you have to pay them big bucks. Florida building the team through trades and free agency gives them more clarity and control as to what players they want and how much they will spend on them. But their franchise defining trade was the Tkachuk trade

To this day, I have less than full liver function thanks to the Avs holding on to that lead.

 

[The Shermanator]

They had to miss the net by a full foot to score.

 

[myperbixhurts]

4-3

 

[redacted]

At least somewhat interesting now

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Honestly I have fond memories of the sirens and the storms. I don't get anything like it now that I'm in the mountains. Kinda sad my kids will never get to experience them.

Although on the other hand, they'll never have to be stuck at school for 3 hours in the hall like this because a tornado just touched down a few blocks away...

I grew up in south central Nebraska, and never had to do this once. Hell, my wife (lived in a different town 10 miles east of my hometown) rode home on her bike from school once with a tornado just north of town. She could see it.

Wind and hail were the bigger worries.

 

[JWK]

I want OT

 

[myperbixhurts]

Isn’t this the time for McDavid and Draisaitl to do something? I mean are they even in this game?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

It's pretty crazy how much mountains/hills help. Here in Lincoln we don't get hit nearly as hard by the weather as Omaha just an hour away. They get nailed with everything the Great Plains has to offer, but since we're kinda nestled in a valley it (for the most part) passes right over us.

St. Paul to Grand Island down to Hastings ALWAYS gets hammered.

 

[myperbixhurts]

WTH is Draisaitl shooting at?

 

[dahrougem2]

WTH is Draisaitl shooting at?

He has been doing it all series. Just did it again. No clue what is going on in his brain but he has been HORRIBLE this series. Blindly chucking pucks towards the net with no plan at all times.

 

[Ararana]

Edmonton had no business making it out of round 2, let alone round 3. What a dud of a cup final matchup.

Good for Florida though, their first cup!

 

[sethro109]

Did Florida actually bring shirtless kid with them? That's amazing.

3-0 series. Whooo!!!

 

[Spilot23]

Draisaitl flopping all over the ice. He really is Rantanen isn't it?

 

[MacKaRtin]

So what single moment in this series will Oilers fans latch onto as the only reason they got swept?

Signing Nurse to that contract?

 

[Sea Eagles]

All I kept thinking watching this game, is jeez, we are miles better than these clubs.

 

[TheForsbergShow]

My buddy spent 9k to go to these two home games. I always knew he paid to get pegged.
