Post-Game Talk: This is the end

[Davo Ikinzom]

At least I didn't spend thousands of dollars like some people did lol

 

[CycloneSweep]

There's no sugar-coating this. We lost and this might be our only chance. These runs are hard to accomplish.

Yep. Everything had to go right to get here. So many bad contracts.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Gutted

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

I never blamed the refs I

We could have played the same game too, for f***'s sake. Blaming the refs when our top 6 did nothing is missing the plot.

idiot can’t read? It’s just frustrating it’s hard to watch , it hurts the league

 

[Porkleaker]

Thank f*** I shut the game off immediately. I bet there's a lot of long faces I want to punch.

 

[Echodek]

The dump and chase wasn’t working but let’s continue to play that all game. It’s what cost is the first three games of this series. Completely abandoned what made them successful during games 4 to 6.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

What pisses me off is Florida found an extra gear and left it all out there. Blocking shots, crashing their own crease…maybe if Kulak lays down on the cup winner he deflects it and this one is going to OT.

The Canada drought lives on.

This is 2006 all over again. Too bad.

Proud of the team who captured a country.

Let’s hope Chris Pronger doesn’t get traded for Joffrey Lupul and Ladislav Smid

 

[tardigrade81]

Well said

Next year they need to take the regular season seriously and actually get home ice advantage throughout the playoffs.

Disappointing doesn’t begin to describe the pain. Hope McDavid takes the summer to recover from whatever injuries he was dealing with, he needs his dynamic speed and shooting back.

This hurts bad

 

[iCanada]

Man it really f***ing sucks to have Skinner prove me right on that f***ing muffin.

Woof.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Proud of the team.

Momentum is irrelevant. It comes down to a bad play in the second period by Kulak and Skinner, and it's in the net. No puck luck after that.

It's cruel but it's sports. Feels like reliving 2006.

7 game series are often heavily influenced by games that got away. The Oilers had game 3. They lost due to goaltending. That was the shame in this series that the game 6 W wasn't for the cup. The team battled all post season to get games and series back after having questionable goaltending in some games. Particularly the Nucks series.

Its a fine line and if we have Bobo we Win the cup. The Oilers were the better club in game 7 and they had edge in play in 5 of the games in the series.

The statistically impossible Canada drought that is...

[McDrailers]

If they wanna trade Nurse for both of them right now they absolutely have the approval of me

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Offseason wish list:
Extend Draisaitl
Re sign janmark, brown, Henrique
Buyout Campbell (unless a better trade is obvious, we need as much space as we can get)
Move on from Ryan
Move out Ceci he will have value on 1 year
A GM that instilled confidence

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Well... that's a wrap on 2006 2.0...

So much excitment and anticipation along with some absolutely dreadful stress for a participation ribbon. At least the score was close. Couldn't finish when it really mattered.

Still, an awesome run. Definitely can't be angry. Just sad. This team's next lesson needs to be to not doddle and finish as high as possible in the NHL standings to secure home ice advantage. If game 7 was played in Roger's, it could have been a different story.

Guess there's nothing left to do but start enjoying summer... It won't last. Adieu my friends.

.I wonder with Nuge being sick if something was going around the team.

 

[Hemsky4pm2]

Henrique had 2 GWGs in this series. Henrique played under 12 minutes this game. Knoblach panicked a bit in the third and the top guys were gassed and kept going over the boards. I hope he learns from this.

 

[aspin3]

Yp

Man it really f***ing sucks to have Skinner prove me right on that f***ing muffin.

Woof.

U do realize you have to score more than 1 goal to win a game right?

 

[McDeepika]

Well I'm only half drunk so hopefully I can make some half coherent points.

1. No hockey should ever be played in Florida at the end of June. The ice was so bad these finals.

2. Draisaitl is surely injured but man he was horrible these finals.

3. McDavid is the best player ever. He will win us a cup if he resigns

4. Not really sure what to make of Skinner. He was excellent at times, but don't love the game winner.

5. We need a matchup center big time. Draisaitl/RNH/McLeod are not strong enough down the middle of the ice. Drai is lazy at many moments, and the other 2 can be very soft. Need a C we can rely on.

6. NHL does need to figure out how it wants to market itself. Rules don't simply go away in the superbowl or game 7 of the NBA finals.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Well at least the Skinner haters are happy so it all works out.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Man it really f***ing sucks to have Skinner prove me right on that f***ing muffin.

Woof.

Yeah. 2 goals by him that could have been stopped. you just don't get margin for any error in game 7 and the only reason this was a 7 game series was Skinner completely blowing game 3.

Team laid it all on the line and gave it everything they got. Oilers were the better club in the last 5 games of the series which is pretty impressive. Bobo was back to magic tonight. That happens.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

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

I’m already over the loss, I’m just avoiding the mains and social media for a bit but I too thought florida got away with a bit too much this game

 

[Garbageyuk]

Had a feeling the inevitable game 7 prison rule officiating would show up.

Yep. Panthers got away with interference, hooking, holding, and slashing every single shift. That’s why McDavid and the others “didn’t show up”. It wasn’t some great defensive masterclass by the Panthers. They even ran Skinner a few times. Dirty piece of shit cheating team. Skill didn’t win the game. Cheating did, and the refs allowed it. Why am I not surprised.

 

[scotchtapejr]

Darnell Nurse is also a moron at hockey
