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

[Maria Sharapova]

Congrats Avs fans.

That’s a damn good hockey team. They were tight defensively all game as well.

They’ll be the favourites against whoever comes out of the East.

I guess u haven’t watched any east hockey.

After all the dirty plays and diving from the oilers it was nice to see a real team get the job done. mcjesus and leon divesaitl had it easy in the first 2 rounds (barely beat the kings lmao). Shut down those 2 and they literally have got jack shit on their roster.

That being said I think the divers win game 4 with the avs closing it out at home. A sweep wouldnt be good for the avs, especially if the ecf goes 6-7 games.

 

[PromisedLand]

And just like that....

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Edmonton has a lot of players who wear their hearts on their sleeves. Smith, Kane, Nurse, Kassian and McDavid. You can tell when they’re frustrated when you see their body language. It’s interesting to see

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Rantanen is a playoff beast.

 

[Hank Plank]

Voted Oilers in 7 I stand by it.

 

[OilWagon]

West is terrible this year. Avs are good. Hope they get a real test out of the east.

We will see. I personally think Avs skaters are much better then either Tampa or NYR but obviously the difference maker is goal tending .

 

[not a troll]

Avs are just a better built team than the Oilers and played better. Refs are cringe with the exorbitant amount of PPs they gave the Avs this series but it's not why the team is losing. The team is losing b/c Ken Holland built a dog shit defense despite literally everyone knowing that was the Oilers issue for years and placing all his chips in on a 40 year old goalie.

The refs haven't given the Avs shit.

The Oilers are lucky more stuff haven't been called against them. Biggest joke of a team in the Pacific and that's saying something.

5 minutes for a reviewed cross check that will likely be a suspension, 2 minutes for delay of game, 2 minutes for ripping Mackinnons stick out of his hands. I don't get where you think this bias is from. It's okay to admit that Edmonton is playing undisciplined. Hell you even got your game management call on the divesaitl call and the Avs scored immediately out of the box.

It is amazing that with the talent the Avs have they still need the refs to push them to beat the Oilers...

And I know, fans always complain about the refs, but I've never been frustrated by the refs like in this series....

 

[IndustryLeech]

I would call Oilers a paper tiger, but paper is useful and tigers are badass.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Edmonton exposed by finally playing a real team
All the while the Avs are playing their back up too.

Oilers are toast.

And Kane should be suspended.
I can’t stand Kadri but that was a brutal greasy hit by Kane.

Their backup is better than the starter anyways.

This may be true but he's been far better than Keumper so it works out for the Avs.

Rantanen is a playoff beast.

He's been unreal on the defensive end. Didn't realize what a two way guy he was.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Rantanen is a 3rd round playoff beast.

FTFY

Yes, the Avs deliver the cleanest slewfeet and trips in the league

That Corgi is full of shit.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

When you watch Colorado play Edmonton you realize just how far the Oilers still have to go to be competitive with them.
I mean it’s a huge mismatch.
But it’s not just the Oilers, it’s most of the rest of the NHL as well. St. Louis, Tampa and the Rangers are up there with Colorado too. But that’s about it.

 

[wayninja]

I don’t think I’ve seen such a petulant, pouty, intent to injure team as the 2022 oilers before

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Cheating their ways to all the PPs. Diving and flopping and hooking their way to even more PP attempts than last game. Does Bettman hate Canada or just Edmonton?

lmao

 

[EpochLink]

Colorado showing their defensive flex this series. Rantanen on that empty net goal was all world, great player.

 

[haseoke39]

I guess the Avs have had this day coming. Unusual that a young core leaps straight to their potential. Most teams need to go through a big underachievement period before they get it.

Yet they just smoked the Pacific division champs without even breaking a sweat.

 

[BMOK33]

they need to abolish this division format, theres zero reason for trash teams like the oilers, flames, and kings to even sniff the playoffs

Its coming as soon as Gary retires, we will have the same format as the NBA

 

[T REX]

No reason to ref-whine...

edmonton just got plain whooped...again.

Men vs boys out there
