Post-Game Talk: Time to finish the story

That link is Cuthbert

What?! Its ESPN for me!

I'd prefer Jack too but for people conplaining about Chris Cuthbert calling Oilers games... check out how brutal the U.S broadcast is. Holy hell, they call a playoff game like it was golf:

McDavid's breakaway goal | NHL.com

Connor McDavid gets the puck in the neutral zone, takes off and beats Casey DeSmith with a snap shot from in tight, making it 4-2 in the 2nd period

That is Cuthbert.

Thought this was pretty cool

Does anyone know if that 6 part amazon series from last year was released? If so what is it called?

So good.

Brown chirping Doughty was great.

In my list of unexpected things Brown being one of the Oilers’ top trash talkers is near the top.

So roopy had a foot fracture. Crazy stuff. Huge if true.

Even if I was predisposed to go I think this one is for newer fans. I saw my share of cup wins in the 80's. I'll sit this one out. I really feel though for what people are required to pay to see it this time around. Back then it was a dirt cheap spectacle. We were so lucky.

$27.50 for the first row of the blues for the Stanley Cup finals in 1990. Good times.

Dude needs to negotiate calcium supplement coverage into his next contract.

It is very strange to play 3 rounds as a road team and finally have home ice for the last one. Not sure if that's ever happened.

Would it not have happened for Carolina? Weren't the the 8th seed in their conference in 06?

That’s the price of a beer now….

I don't think so. Carolina finished with 112 points that year, 2nd overall in the east.

 

[K1984]

My phone has blown up with people I know asking to buy my tickets. Yeah sorry I don’t have seasons tickets to simply sell the 4 best games of the year and miss a chance to see them lift the cup.

Haha I get the same thing.

Also -

“Can you get me tickets with your advance access.”

“Sure what’s your max budget because there isn’t a lot of time to make decisions when I’m in there.”

“$500 per ticket.”

Nope.

It's also about double what the cost was in the first couple of Cup years.

How come the media keeps skipping over FLA losing and then beating Edmonton the year after lol. Or are they only looking at Greztky and Crosby?

Isn't it because FLA lost to Vegas in 2023, not EDM? All of the examples listed in that message are the years the same 2 teams met in the next year's final. That's why 2024-2025 are listed. Unreal that 2 of those times involve the Oilers.

Edit: nevermind, I see someone already posted that it's a list of rematches.

 

[tiger_80]

I remember Nurse saying post-game after game 2 that they were blocking more shots, getting in the shooting lanes but making sure Stu had sightlines. It definitely worked and has allowed Stu to get more confident as each game progressed.

Basically, they swapped Ceci for Klingberg, Walman, Emberson and Stetcher.

So effing Florida is off to the third Stanley Cup final in a row? That's pretty rare in today's NHL>

That wasn’t a Stanley cup final re match. They played two different teams.

I remember these prices clearly, I was able to afford to see the entire first round against the Jets as a teenager with part time job/minimum wage money, good times indeed. In fact that's exactly where our seats were, we hung a banner over the railing.

wow

Now I see the cheapest tickets at maybe $900 per seat this for game 1. Maybe game 2 as well

I see Game 5/7 tickets going for up to 7K

 

[avocadosmoothie]

so much for all that Lindell > Ekholm talk!

 

[AlanHUK]

Never seen prices like this before. Lots of out of towners driving the market.

I resemble that remark (or did last year)

didn't get tickets in the end but had a blast at the watch parties and just taking in the atmosphere of the city, it was like the day of my team getting promoted through a playoff final, but for week straight.

Even if people can't get tickets they should still get into Edmonton go to watch parties take in the city because it's just an incredible vibe

They've moved onto Barkov > McDavid now.

Barkov may be the most overrated player in the world right now.

It’s him or Matthew’s or Rantanen lol

Nobody overrates players like Finnish fans. Even Leafs fans can't compare to them, imo.
