WCF | GM5 | Edmonton Oilers at Dallas Stars | 7:30PM CT | TNT

killing off 25 consecutive penalties is an insane number considering even the absolute worst teams score more than 1 out of every 10.

That is easy to do against the Flyers

 

[lextune]

How many teams have done that, 2?

Edmonton
Calgary (that might have been three years after, but it was the same core)
NJ
Pittsburgh

I might be forgetting one...

Dallas apparently stinks. I was never sold on them. Everyone said no matter who won between Van / Oilers was going to get dominated. Goes to show what HF knows.

IMO Vegas was meh. And Avs stunk

Clearly the Pacific had the two best teams in the west. The storyline should have been Dallas would lose to either of the Pacific teams in the 2nd round but saying the Pacific is actually good is taboo

It will be interesting to see what kind of fight Dallas has in them in period 3........

They better have a lot more than they had in the first two periods.

It’s over

no team has ever won at Gillette stadium on a Tuesday when the game starts at 10 am, and the west is coming from the northwest

I'm not surprised.

Even they scored 1 out of every 9 opportunities

I wonder if anyone just watches hockey to watch the CGI ads on the boards instead of the game.

I agree but it's also the playoffs where teams play with injured players on their powerplays and a lot of powerplay numbers dip as well. Plus just the history of the league. It's got a lot of years behind it.

Edit: also considering the regular season record is well over double that with 53.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I'm not trying to disparage the knights. They won the cup.

Simply giving credit to the nucks and stars this year.

I get it. It's just silly superhero talk to me.

 

[Ezekial]

Very astute observation Eddie O, in order to score 5 in this period they would first need to score 1.

 

[Matty Sundin]

06 Oilers too

Yes cause they went to game 7. 2011 Nucks were probably the only Canadian team entering the finals as the favorite though if we start comparing 04.06.07.21.

I don’t even think Oilers would be favored against the Panthers if that happens though also not massive underdogs.

Wrong. My kid's soccer team won a game there under those conditions

Maybe so, But Edmonton is still doing it against the 6th, 11th, and 12th ranked PPs in the regular season.

Duchene passing there was so f***ing stupid you had a lane to the net and you do a shitty sauce pass

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Oooh, Pepsi!

 

[Ezekial]

Blow the play dead because of a skate blade these refs are awful

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Blowing the whistle because of a skate blade dislodged? Tuukka just felt the urge to throw a milk crate.

 

[Tofveve]

 

[lextune]

Wrong. Bruins in 77 and 78. Lost both times to Montreal. As a Bruins fan you should know this sad fact

Ha! What's even crazier is I saw both those series!

I haven't blocked them from my mind though, it's just age and drink has the better of me tonight.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Yep. Nothing to take away from, just surprised. My personal guess would have been 32-34 for the record.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Duchesne to Ceci - reliving the glory days as a Sens fan lol

 

[Frank Drebin]

Edmonton
Calgary (that might have been three years after, but it was the same core)
NJ
Pittsburgh

I might be forgetting one...

Edmonton... No, actually yes. 40 years ago 83/84
Calgary 86, 89.
Nj, no
Pittsburgh yes 07 08
You're not forgetting anything

 

[Matty Sundin]

Skinner is shutting up his haters tonight

 

[ViD]

Skinner is Roy this game
