Post-Game Talk: Stupendous Stu offsets the broken Hyman

He seems so fake to me

Outside of Gazdic and Bieksa, I don't think any of the SN panel likes or roots for the Oilers if you want my personal opinion. Then of course the TSN asshats are always leafs central.
I remember when Rob MacLean cared and was more pissy about calgary's goal being waived off than the Oilers winning the series with McDavid's OT GWG.
Even Bissonette is a loser. Seeing him 'cheer' for the oilers in the finals last year as a leafs fanboy as he attempted to get into the Oilers fan's pants aka the one that flashed her boobs was pathetic. f***, even PK Slewban has been cheering against us. f*** them all except Gazdic and Bieksa

In fairness to Otter, that pass by Nuge was deceptively slick. Reminded me of Nuge's Datsyuk like skills dating back from his rookie and sophomore season here when he was a magician all over the offensive end with his passing.
Way to f***ing go, Nugey.
RNH realized his potential as a first overall pick, but in a most random fashion. He's topped 100 points once between a lot of 50-60 point seasons.

Sure, making the playoffs is really hard if you wanna boil it down to some kind of participation thing. At the end of the day winning is what matters.

No one pats the Buffalo Bills on the back for losing four superbowls in a row because "it's hard to get there". It's a well known famous sports trivia failure.

PDB isn't a horrible coach, but imo he's not gonna get you over the hump. Could he be one of the greatest all time who manages to Midas touch subpar teams much further than he can? Sure. But given he's gone through four different orgs and more than 100 players, some of whom actually have been very elite; Occam's razor dictates that likely the issue is just his system ain't what it needs to be to win it all.
A lot of good coaches never win. Just what it is in a large league. Teams that win the cup invariably have to have some players catching fire and going on big heaters. The degree that its on coaching is maybe overrated. It takes good coaching to get a team around it. But lets say Cassidy never wins in Vegas without Marsh catching absolute fire. Colorado get the one and done cup because Nik catches fire out of nowhere. its almost always the Cup champion story that some likely or unlikely guys just go redflaming hot. Deboer has never really had that and never will in Dallas.

Indeed knocks on players like Duchene, Hintz, Robertson, is that they never do anything in playoffs. Duchene is a bad actor. period. He's in Dallas as kind of reclamation but the guy has floater labels. You don't win much with guys like that.

Ok, now it is Regean and Trent reading time. I always save it for later

Please report back.

Also, if you can, feel free to send this their way...



There is no universe in which Broberg is neutralizing Rantanen the way Kulak is. Broberg would get eaten alive. I agree with Rob Brown: St. Louis did Edmonton a favor if it was between Kulak and Broberg.

Kulak, Walman, Stecher, and Klingberg have all been better than Broberg was. And obviously are also better than Ceci and Vinny.
 
Dallas is less physical than LA or Vegas.
This game was a war tonight especially in the first half of the game when the outcome was still in doubt. Hyman out early, Kane going to the dressing room before the end of the second, Perry getting crushed early in the game. I’d argue this series has been more physical than the first two, certainly this game was.
I can’t see Skinner being able to dial his game up to the level his teammates are playing at. He’s never been that type of player. Maybe I’m wrong though. I didn’t think the other Skinner was capable of doing what we’ve seen from him this series either. Like I said before, being up 3-1 now does offer the team some flexibility to afford a gamble on a player so maybe we do see him in game 5.
