Skinner is shutting up his haters tonight

Nah. But Drai is back checking.

 

[logan5]

I'm conflicted here. On the one hand you have a super immature, always playing the victim card, whiney fans, but on the other hand, I wouldn't mind watching the greatest player in the game finally get his shot.

 

[SullivanT]

Oilers stopped forecheck again in the third not good

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Skinner wow

 

[Benneguin]

Oilers stopped forecheck again in the third not good

It's ok. Our guys just pass it back to the white shirts

 

[TheBeard]

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

We may very well still get there.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Nah. But Drai is back checking.

I didn’t say trolls

I won't ever waste energy hating on a guy who's playing great

I said that I wouldn't be surprised at the beginning of the season, when evryone quesytioned their goaltending, we'll see

 

[tabness]

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

I might be forgetting one...

Detroit (95/97)

No conflict for me. The organization that didn't bother putting in an effort to win games for 10+ years that got four cracks at first overall with the last being a year a Crosby tier prospect was available? No desire to see them win anything.

 

[Tofveve]

Gee they were allowed to have a long conference before that faceoff. Too long IMO. Finally the linesman blew the whistle.

Try being a Vancouver AND an Oiler fan.

Vancouver fans have gotten better in the last decade, but still bad lol.

I hate both fan bases and I'm part of them lol.

If he was posting a shutout while being lit up sure, I'm more impressed by Edmonton's defensive game.

 

[Ezekial]

Yea i guess Skinner is playing well, they could have a goal or two this period

 

[Hank Plank]

Edmonton is winning the Cup.

 

[Czechboy]

Stu with another big save what is happening?

 

[Oilslick941611]

Imagine if Dallas played like this at the start of the game

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Nah. But Drai is back checking.

He’s been amazing defensively all playoffs

 

[TheBeard]

It's weird. He's always been good at making the tough saves, yet struggles with letting in too many easy ones. Dallas should just be shooting everything at him instead of giving him opportunities to make the elite stops.

 

[eviohh26]

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

Starting to look like it.

 

[lextune]

Edmonton... No
Calgary 86, 89
Nj, no
Pittsburgh yes 07 08
You're not forgetting anything

Edmonton lost the Finals to the Isles in '83, then won the next year. So yes.

NJ lost the Finals in '01 then won in '03 (I said a year or two), so yes.

Thanks for forcing me to look it up nerd.

Everybody testing an old man's memory tonight. Jeez.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Edmonton is winning the Cup.

If they play like this for a few more games, it's possible

Good lord. Get over it

Stars choked Game 4 and haven't recovered. Vegas players and Colorado players are sitting at home watching the game shaking their heads.
