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

[TippinOn44s]

Avs scored 2 on a couple of broken plays (including an own goal) and posters are saying things like "men against boys" .

Avs got some good bounces, Oilers didn't. That's the game.

I mean, Smith let in 2 weak goals but he also robbed Colorado of like 6 almost sure goals.

 

[MessierII]

When the oilers get swept, I'm sure how close it really was will be a big comfort.

The series is done. I’m happy with the season. Getting to the final four is an achievement. Some entire franchises have never gone further.

 

[Just Rude]

Of course they count. What’s your point?

Any second grader can figure that out. You said there have been two one goal games.

You are wrong.

Goalie is part of the team. It was a 1 goal game.

 

[wayninja]

Like when he knocked out Faulk last year? Or the previous times he got suspended in playoffs for attempt to injure? Please.

2-8 in 2 years. Ouch.

Men vs teens...that better for you?

Oilers got blown up. Just look at the SOG

SMDH...denial is a main river on HF boards...

Goalie is part of the team. It was a 1 goal game.

And now it's a 2 goal game. Forever.

ok they were one goal games the oilers had a chance of tying with under a minute to go. Happy?

Such is the way of Mike Smith.

 

[falconski]

2-8 in 2 years. Ouch.

3-12 all time


Gotta give the ref Louis homers a break though, this injury is the greatest thing to ever happen to their hockey team, even better than when they elbowed their way to a cup

There's levels to this sh*t bro. The Oilers have been outmatched all series and to suggest they haven't is laughable.

 

[PULSATING]

Whatever helps you sleep at night bud,

Avs are the better team . "Men against boys" in a 1 goal game is little much, that's all.

Is 3-0 more of a yardstick?

Good lord, did he hit himself in the mouth hoisting it?

 

[soothsayer]

Colorado is just such a bunch of weasels. Wish it were St Louis going forward. Never were there such a committed group of little Bs than Colorado, let's be honest.

And how you can go 5 consecutive seasons 1st in power plays in a game that has as many variables as hockey without any journalists asking questions about it is mind boggling. Probably one of the reasons hockey journalism is a joke.

They’ve been outplayed for sure. But they were still down a goal with under a minute in 2 of the games. These were close games. Game two was pure domination. Completely clinic by the Avs.

 

[Bender]

“We don’t get called for our dirty shit” is not the own you think it is. Your team is only as tough as the league and officials allow them to be, but fold like a cheap camping chair when breathed on (see: Kadri).

Not everyone can be as tough as kane cross-checking guys in the numbers.

Do you enjoy getting driven TO and FROM work everyday? Make sure you keep that helmet strapped in real tight, everywhere you go.

Avs put up 40+ shots in all three games. It definitely is "men against boys."

Hard for McDavid to take over the series when his team can barely sustain zone pressure.

 

[Mr Kot]

See you guys next year, it was fun shooting the shit. Now to go see if NYR can go for a cup as well.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

So you are complaining about non-calls rather than the penalties that were called. OK.

Disagree about the alleged "slewfoot".
Maybe a goalie interference could have been called but would have to watch replays again. None were agregious IMO.
I think there are likely as many non called interferences on McKinnon and Rantanen as McD.
The RNH stick hold was blatant

If the ref had timed his blinks differently, he wouldn't have seen the stick hold. Sure, call it, but it's about as weak of a call as you're going to see in the playoffs. The ref didn't even put the arm off until after the stick was let go and MacKinnon started selling it.

 

[Just Rude]

ok they were one goal games the oilers had a chance of tying with under a minute to go. Happy?

Or you could just say both were two goal losses.

Oilers had tons of chances tonight. There were stretches they badly outplayed the Avs. If the bounces go the other way oilers could have easily won this game. Enough with the ridiculous exaggerations here.

That it is probably the best way to explain it. Enjoy it. The Pacific Division is hot garbage and the fact that it was allowed a team in the top 4 is a gift from the NHL.
