Post-Game Talk: Time to finish the story

[Wreckus]

Florida had 98 points during the regular, Oilers 101. Does it mean Oilers start on home ice? Or they use some other metrics for the Stanley cup final?

Yes, we have home ice advantage.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

4 wins to glory.

This isn't a rematch, it's a continuation.

 

[Oilers88]

Holy f*** this team is good.

Rumour is that Deboer went to shake the refs hands and tried to give them hand jobs.

Idiot doesnt realize the series is over.

Rantanen didn’t choose wisely

Watching hockey for 40 years. Had two kids play on university scholarships. I really don't see how this team loses in the final. Destiny.

Yeah, kinda hard to believe after the relative struggles of the regular season that the Oilers will have home ice in the Finals. They have to take advantage of this opportunity.

Oilers knocked most of those teams. lol

To the 45 of us with the courage to call this one in five, it was a pleasure to go into battle with you for this noble cause. The rest of you should spend the night with your heads hung in shame !

Let’s go, so happy 4 W’s…. Marchment can go f** him self

LA was favored, with way better goaltending. Same with Vegas. Same with Dallas. In every series we ended up with the better goaltending. Go figure.

We dominated them too not just win. The talking heads keep underestimating this teams depth and defence

Hey Ben, play Pink Pony Club....after La Bamba that is!

Skinner sacrificed something to some sort of diety. And I’m here for it

Nice, so they should get Brown ready, and Ekholm will have more time to practice with the team.

It helps that the Oilers had the superior defense in each series, without Ekholm. This coaching staff are phenomenal defensive coaches. Oh and the Oilers are averaging 5 goas a game. This just feels like the Oilers time even though I know that beating Florida is a monumental task.

It feels like it but Florida are the champs it’s going to be a battle

 

[Drivesaitl]

Boys were all business post game

They have that human nature edge of wanting that cup. Florida wants it, but they won it. Something changes when you already reach that goal.

All we gotta do is be undefeated on home ice

Helps to have a McDavid as a cheatcode getting the winning goal when they needed a margin. WE'RE back!!!

Seemed like a longtime though. I'm sure its felt like forever for the players to get back here.

Not bothered by the longbreak, it allows the best SC final possible to take place.

 

[foshizzle]

Who has home ice advantage by the way?

Oilers

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

It sounded like cope at the time, but damn he was right. Too bad he won't be there though.

Mikey Anderson's first name. Next year he will Michael.

No more then beating us… why do people forget we outplayed them in the finals last year?

I can think this, but I can't say it.

Knobs has been in the league for a year and a half and has taken his team to the final twice. Hopefully some of the haters are now clueing in that he is a big picture coach. His constant line juggling in the regular season set them up to have everyone familiar with each other now that injuries have hit and we need to shuffle guys around. He realized the regular season was an extension of the exhibition season, and that wearing yourself out hitting wasn’t beneficial. Pissed me off hearing comments that he was a pu**y, when that is the farthest thing from the truth, and fans wanted a mouth breather to replace him. Right on schedule, the Oilers are one of the top hitting and physical teams in the playoffs. He not only outcoached Cassidy and DaBore, two of the best in the league, he utterly dismantled them with his in game moves and adjustments. Top three coach in league easily, so glad he’s ours. Hopefully he starts getting more love from our fans.
