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

[OilersFanatics505]

Just watched the GWG again. Imagine being bodied by Compher like that?

 

[ViD]

Focus on tampa first. Get that stranglehold before you plan the parade, buddy.

Oh, I’m just an observer of the reality; no parade for me in years to come

 

[AMDZen]

Which of the penalties today were unwarranted? All 4 were blatant and obvious calls IMO.

Because refalanche

I have to say I am disappointed in the Oilers....I expected a much better fight from them in this series....but the Avs are showing they are on another level to be sure......

Edmonton are a bunch of pretenders who got easy matchups in the first 2 rounds and they BARELY made it out of the first against a kings roster that's a mixture of old and inexperienced players and no Doughty.

this postgame is hilarious Oilers fans cheering like they won the cup just to see Gretzky lol

Smart people knowing how it’s better to cheer the past than focusing on the present

Blind?

 

[frankiess]

I'm just impressed that Kane is such a piece of shit that he has only made Kadri look that much better.

Stand with Naz.

How did Kadri look before?

Maybe get some contacts. You got vision insurance?

Avs are clearly the better team and have done a good job taking ice away from McDavid. The reason Oilers get so many penalties is because they commit so many infractions. If anything the refs are giving them a break with volume discounts here.

Agreed. I didn't see a single call tonight that was reasonably questionable. It was just a bunch of stupid stuff by the Oilers, Nugent Hopkins grabbing a stick right in front of the referee, Draisaitl high sticking, etc., etc. If you're going to play with a beer league level of discipline, you're going to be spending a lot of time in the box.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

f*** Evander Kane defending his hit. What a f***ing .

 

[yababy]

You think Mackinnon left 5m on the table?

No, he signed a contract for what he was worth at the time.

MacKinnon: 'I'll take less again' on next contract to help Avs win

Nathan MacKinnon is arguably the league's most underpaid player, but he says he isn't looking to make up for that on his next contract.The Colorado Avalanche superstar is owed $6.3 million per season through the 2022-23 campaign after signing a seven-year, $44.1-million deal in 2016. His...

I’m guessing you just started watching hockey

Blind?

Did you not see the stick on the hands?

Im not the blind one.

Bouchard still shouldn't have gotten outmuscled, but Compher clearly got the stick in his hands.

 

[katfude]

How did Kadri look before?

Real real good. Some idiot team offering him 8x7 good.

 

[ref19]

That Makar interview on TNT lol.. Some B: How did you shut them down?
Cale: Idk, rezone your ahole in about an hour here.

lmao love it

You think he was worth 11.3m a year? after putting up a 52 point season?

And Mackinnon has yet to sign his next contract, are you new to hockey?

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Yeah 2 games have been 1 goal games. This isn’t domination. Avs are clearly better but it’s not the landslide you’d think it was by reading HF mains.

And game 2 was won during an apocalyptic 3-minute breakdown. The Avs are easily the better team, but they are having to work and execute at a very high level to be here. Kuemper being out is probably a blessing in disguise for them too.

Have they said anything on the nature of Kadri's injury? Broken arm?

 

[frankiess]

It was just a bunch of stupid stuff by the Oilers, Nugent Hopkins grabbing a stick right in front of the referee, Draisaitl high sticking, etc., etc. If you're going to play with a beer league level of discipline, you're going to be spending a lot of time in the box.

And the slewfoots?

 

[VivaLasVegas]

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....

The refs are simply calling the game as they see it, and the game they see (and the rest of the non-homer hockey world sees) is a very undisciplined Oiler team repeatedly committing numerous, obvious and stupid penalties. It would be bias by the refs if they didn't call what they have been calling.

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

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

Well the trips aren't what injure opposing players and draw five minute penalties.

Maybe the Aves should try some head butting. I heard that's a clean play.

 

[Ray Mercer]

Tough to see the Oilers get dominated like this. You want to see at least a competitive series.

 

[PromisedLand]

Tonight's game felt like hockey gods saying "no kane, you and your team shall not be rewarded for the antics you pulled"

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Sweep for Kadri and hope he rests up in time for the finals. Hopefully tampa makes it a series and we get some extra time

 

[66-30-33]

They would have to beat Shestyorkin in 4 straight. Impossible.

Change the Avs jerseys to Pens jerseys and have the crowd chant IGOR and because they will have goaltending they would score goals galore.

Tough? I'm loving every minute of it.
