Now that Laine/Matthews crap is over (and that was way more Finn driven), I find it is pretty much calmed down between the two. Oilers get on my nerves way more.

Mikheyev beating McDavid in the race showing he is faster was EPIC! Oilers fans in hiding tonight.

McDavid should have said, “I want to go home, trade me to Toronto”.

Woll starting next game? I mean it's only Vancouver.
Yeah that was awesome! Mikheyev is faster than McDavid! I had a feeling he was before this.

Fear is the mind-killer.
Stealander had himself a series. Nice Kadri-goal tonight.

Defeat does not rest lightly on their shoulders
#Leafs 38 points are their most in franchise history through the first 24 games of a season.

Mikey has been stepping around players like you only see McDavid do. McDavid =Mikheyev and that was a cool sight to see

My favourite thing reading around the league threads from our rivals is the misconceptions they're all still under. "Yeah well they still suck defensively," "they've got no depth." Either they don't watch which is likely, or they just don't understand hockey.
To do what they did on the road for 3 games is impressive. Was thinking Edmonton would take 1 or 2 with the last change advantage but when all lines and d pairings are clicking like they are match ups don't matter as much.
Loving the close breakout plays every player is on the same page and always knows their role when someone isn't open.
Also side note not sure what the hits were in the series but did the Oilers ever seem to put themselves out of the play going for dumb hits. It led to multiples goals against just awful defending always chasing.

That's good, that's really good.... we've got to be happiest with GA/G... #4, after how poorly our team has been defensively over the years, and even to the start of this year, to be this strong now... it's that defensive strength that will help us, to whatever success this team has.

Only postive for the oilers is that Matthews didn't get a point, so they can convice themsleves that he isn't that good and overrated.

Its the salt, it breeds delusion.
Leafs are by far and away the best team in the division and no team in it would beat the Leafs in a series with the way we just crushed the 2nd best team in it.

Oilers face sobering reality at hands of Maple Leafs after hard week
EDMONTON — It was supposed to be a measuring stick, this first-place clash with the division-leading
Toronto Maple Leafs.
The measuring stick, it seems, may now have to be surgically removed.
Edmonton Oilers, losers by scores of 4-0, 3-0, and in Wednesday’s finale, 6-1?
“They embarrassed us three games in a row. That’s a tough one to swallow,” said defenceman Tyson Barrie, pointless in all three games, like so many others.
There isn’t a single element of the sport of hockey that Edmonton can claim to have executed better than Toronto through nine periods of hockey, so thorough was the defeat.
Whether it’s a tangible, like winning battles or scoring goals, or intangibles — like heart — the Leafs had more and did it better.
As such, everything about this Oilers team is open for question.
“It’s very concerning,” said a grave head coach Dave Tippett. “Very concerning that we don’t want to grab the competitive level in a series like this.”
The Oilers entered the series four points behind Toronto and in second place. They exit the series 10 points out and in third.
Are the Leafs really this much better than Edmonton?

Jets fans talking big smack on their board. Looking forward to laying an ass whooping on them too.

I’d include the emergence of Holl. But Brodie is incredible. He IS our best defenceman.
Well that 2nd place team... until the next rises to 2nd and we crush them too.
Funny what a good team can do... its like you keep winning or something.
Regardless of the playoffs... let this be a lesson to the Leafs next year in their regular division to f*** everyone up and win the division while we have a shot.
No letting up.
And this year whoever they end up playing... its the next man up mentality. Every game is do or die. Crush teams. That's how you win cups.
