Post-Game Talk: This is the end

[Husker Du]

Unfortunately we didn’t have the energy needed to win tonight. Big guns struggled to generate offense and only the third line was effective. It hurts now, but it will help us in the long run. Broberg was great and the younger guys took a big step.

 

[CycloneSweep]

we can get back here next year but the new GM will have a lot to work to do. We got here in spite some of our players.
Outrageously hard to win with it all with the wasted cap/dead cap we have compared to all the advantages the sunbelt teams have.

Biggest off season in Oilers history coming up.

 

[Vagabond]

Made a series out of it.. I'm proud of the Oil but still dissatisfied with the result.

I hope the franchise can make a couple splashes this offseason. We desperately need talented/gritty/tough to play against forwards. I felt that the Oil were way too soft. It'd be great to upgrade goaltending, defense and a few forwards that play opposite to McLeod.

Have a great summer everyone!

 

[Cloned]

McDavid wins the Smythe. I think he’s a Top 5 player when he retires even if he never wins a Cup.

 

[oil Leaks]

It was an amazing season and playoffs but this one stings.

 

[grego]

It is best to look at how great of a run we went on.

The offense couldn't overcome babrovski, the panthers and the refs in this game. It happens

 

[McDNicks17]

They should just not hand out the Conn Smythe if a Cup winner doesn't win it.

What a hollow award for Connor.

 

[RipsADrive]

Good season. Sucks to lose but we'll be back.

So f***ing close...

 

[Kirby]

Best news? We missed out on all the recent opportunities to be involved in the recent trades to upgrade our team.

Yay...

 

[Oilers88]

Frustrating, but that's hockey. Despite all the BS about this being a lopsided series, these two teams were very evenly matched. A lot of it came down to bounces. We had a great chance to make it 2-1, they came back the other way and took the lead. In a game 7, the officials aren't calling anything unless it's puck over the glass, and the ice here is a disaster. That made it tougher to come back. If we get that 2-1 lead I think the cup is ours right now.

 

[Wreckus]

Jesus, the off-season fun could be going into high gear tomorrow.

Going to be fun to watch.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

The painful lesson this season was always starting from behind. They came back so many times but unfortunately there's a reason this is so hard to do.

 

[foshizzle]

Totally gutted. Mostly sad at the no-shows from many of our top players…..

Hopkins was terrible

 

[McDNicks17]

That's pretty cool for Finns.

 

[McDrailers]

It was a great great year. I’m down bad right now but proud.

Leon, you were absolutely horrendous tonight.

 

[UHHHH SON]

Maybe a panther will take a dive with the cup.

We battled

 

[Shizuka]

Sorry but I hate the false positivity stuff. They blew it and the top players were no shows in game 7

Especially for the long term fans here, who have stuck with it and persisted... this is so f***ing gutting for us.

 

[FunkyChicken]

Regroup and build around Ceci and Janmark, lets gooo.

May have been the best game I've seen Ceci play.
Janmark was a beast in the first period, then it seemed like he got no ice after that.
McDavid with no points in the last two games hurt.
Draisaitl was bad pretty much every game but game 6.
Still, hell of a job to get this far.

 

[elmeroil]

Sucks but what a season

 

[OddManRush]

Love the guy but you can’t ghost during the game AND during the Smythe presentation

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

Shitty end to an otherwise great season. I guess Gary and Colin Campbell get their sunbelt team and son respectively a cup.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Everyone here knows you did a couple fist pumps after the Oilers lost.

Not fooling anyone.

Dude you talked as much shit about this team and players as I did. Don’t pretend you are any better.

 

[scotchtapejr]

Imagine how much energy we would have of Stuart force us to play 3 extra games.

If he let in a goal like that in game 7 I am going my lawyers first thing in the morning to sue him on behalf of the climate for forcing them to fly 3 times back and forth

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Incredible season but frustrating the last game was prison rules. Dudes were tackling guys pathetic. I hate the league. Big advs Florida they turned it into ice wrestling

 

[scotchtapejr]

If you don't blame tonight and all your problems on Stuart Skinner than you are obviously a Stuart Skinner fan girl and want to have his children.
