The only thing predictable in this series is unpredictable.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Big reason why the oilers have some momentum. Will be curious if he comes back in the third. Dallas will have a rough time without him

Tanev is junk and made of glass. He hasn't done anything worthy in this series let alone stop anyone.

 

[SharksCyclops]

Gretzky is such a Dallas fanboy it's sickening

 

[Dust]

Theres levels though. nhl players aeent rolling seound on the ground. And its not every playwr. Everyone in a football pitch is flopping.

Although i do think the absolute best athlete on the planet must be a soccer player given the enormous player pool. Bigger than every sport combined essentially.

I'm not sure how you'd even determine who the absolute best athlete is given the enormous differences between a lot of the sports. I think a hockey player would rank pretty high up actually. Skating is a skill that many athletes don't have.

 

[PuckG]

Good to know that the impenetrable Dallas defence can be broken.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

If we've learned anything in this series, it's that the team who has the better 2nd period wins.

Should be a dominating period for the Oilers in the 3rd.

looked like shot off the inside of his foot. he took off the protector while skating to the bench. broken foot maybe.. or stinger.

 

[fsanford]

Im not comfortable with a 2 goal lead until there is less than 10 seconds left in the third....far from over. Dont forget we have the trifecta of Nurse-Ceci-Skinner.

Oilers cannot sit back. They are blocking shots and winning puck battles. Gotta continue.

If the try to sit on lead they will.give it up

 

[robertocarlos]

He's one bitter and twisted super-star.

 

[Muffin]

Apparently the key is to let them be up a few goals.

 

[syz]

Tanev gets his stick in the way of like half of the shots the Oilers attempt and somehow none of them end up in bad spots or in the net. As an Oilers fan I'm not sure how that's even possible. Would be huge if he's not out for the 3rd.

 

[trilobyte]

Drai in particular gets a lot of hate on this site but is there a single player that improves as much as he does comes playoffs? Its undeniable. Hockey is funner when you dont solely focus on your team but appreciate the league.

Yes, some players make it their time to go harder and better, and then there are players that go the other direction. Ask me how I know

 

[Mez]

Its a bold strategy....but damnit, I think your right.

 

[SCP Guy]

Is Edmonton the Toronto of the MT Time Zone?

“ALL” of Canada?

You think if a Canadian team had a chance to end the Cup in Canada drought it would not be a huge deal across the country? Give your head a shake

 

[fsanford]

Avs gave teams a "partial" blueprint. Avs could not finish it though

And show them HF post comments, like "game over man" or "game blouses".

Colorado did it a few times last series

Not sure what's the best athlete but the hardest thing is by far hitting a baseball.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

My personal favourite is series is over.

My count is around 57 thus far this series.

Honest question, even in Calgary? Obviously there will be some/many people who would be excited, but could it be fair to say that Flames fans would be not so thrilled in general?

exactly I’d miss out if I only gave a shit about the habs and their mediocrity. People sooner be jealous and spiteful than appreciate talent. I can guarantee I’m having more fun

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Not sure what's the best athlete but the hardest thing is by far hitting a baseball.

Yet a baseball gets hit, what? Over 50% of the time by the pros (including foul balls, tips, fly balls, etc.)?

 

[Banjo Cat]

To be fair there probably would be a lot of Canadians backing them. I would. I would not for Toronto, though. That would just be sacrilege.

 

[PromisedLand]

3rd period about to start and all I have in my mind is.....

LMAO

 

[fsanford]

Knoblauch has been up and down this series. But an asset he does bring is his calm demeanor. It turned the Oils season around and in this game it kept Oilers mentally in it
