WCF: Edmonton Oilers vs. Colorado Avalanche ( Avs lead 3-0 )

[nbwingsfan]

Should the best player in the world need to be sheltered to succeed?

He doesn’t. He had two points the game before. He got shutout one game… that’s it. The best players of all time have bad games sometimes.

Do people really expect him to put up 3pts a game?

 

[Foppberg]

Makar is simply shutting Mcdavid down.

Makar's skating is a huge factor. McDavid is used to just dancing around guys and doing what he pleases, hard to do that when the guy defending you can do it too.

 

[OilWagon]

The difference in defence is way too much of a mismatch. Oilers maybe win one of the two at home and lose 4-1

 

[Divine]

I don't understand how people say "You're not in trouble until you lose at home"

Yeah, maybe if you're the home team. Boston lost 0 games at home this playoffs and got eliminated in the first round. How are they not in trouble?

I’m from Atlanta and saw him knock Cooke out in person. So I get it, kinda. But I appreciate that Kadri keeps his nonsense between the whistles. He’s also dialed it all back recently while Kane gets more obnoxious. Kane mocking the Avs from the bench? Stupid.

He has taken off Smith's mask and gloves so far this series ..
He is a skilled Kassian.. dirty little prick is the definition of Kadri.

Gretzky seems a bit salty in the postgame but I get it. Barkley is always salty when Auburn loses.

 

[EverTheCynic]

I’m having a hard time seeing anyone stop this Avalanche team. This is a team built up and down. They’re playing the right way too.

Don’t think anyone is stopping these guys this year.

 

[T REX]

oilrs have to start koskinen

And no you do not deserve the "e"

 

[lionsDen]

Are you trying to say Point is a more valuable #1C than McDavid?

Weird how you were nowhere to be seen before this one game…

Point has been phenomenal in the playoffs with two cups.

 

[EverTheCynic]

WAR is not a real stat. It’s complete fiction.

 

[winnipegger]

I knew Colorado would expose the Oilers defence and goaltending. LA and Calgary are just not anywhere near as dangerous offensively as Colorado is. And the Oilers are still mostly a 2 man team.

 

[Backcheckmonster3]

Not 2 teams on the same level. Cute tho from the oilers fans to think so adorable even

 

[Muffin]

Jack Johnson for Nurse one for one, who says no?

 

[Cant Kick On 1 Foot]

You would have liked him if he was on your team. The fact that you can like a shithead like Kadri proves my point.
We hate Kadri but could certainly use a player like him. Kane has been one of the best Oilers and pretty much the biggest reason why the team is in final 4

Did you Just say Kane is the biggest reason the Oilers are in the final 4?

 

[Bounces R Way]

The Oilers presented themselves, and the Avalanche obliged

 

[Rude Dog]

Is it okay to underestimate the Oilers yet? Said Avs in 5. predicted 1 too many

 

[Lt Dan]

Bednar dresses like a Batman villain

 

[Chips]

Gretzky seems a bit salty in the postgame but I get it. Barkley is always salty when Auburn loses.

I noticed that too for sure, tho he was nice to joke a bit about how Francouz was drowned out by the hype he generated. Not a poor sport at all

I can say for a fact that I would not like it if my team signed a player accused of assaulting multiple women offering to pay for an ex girlfriend's abortion and then reneging.

 

[nbwingsfan]

What? When the refs put the whistles away, teams hook and grab and clog the open ice. Leading to a scrappy game where possession comes from wall battles. And McDavid is a wimp. Who sucks at that part of the game.

If the refs are calling every little hook and grab, sure. McDavid will shine in that game. But every playoffs, this happens. The refs put the whistles away.

It’s not a bad take. It’s the only take

Ah yes, because McDavid has had such a struggle succeeding these playoffs??

What the hell are you talking about? He’s third in his team in hits.

 

[LTIR]

Did you Just say Kane is the biggest reason the Oilers are in the final 4?

As big a reason as Draisaitl if not bigger.
McD is the main reason...

 

[The Shermanator]

Imagine we still had Girard...
(this year's Girard)

 

[CowMix]

He doesn’t. He had two points the game before. He got shutout one game… that’s it. The best players of all time have bad games sometimes.

The Oilers can't win if he doesn't

 

[Dust]

I said it previously, but there's no award for winning 2 games in a series. Colorado looked like the vastly superior team tonight, but they still have to win 2 more games. A lot of gloating going on in here for a series that's probably not even half over yet.
