Edmonton reminds me of Embiid in the playoffs @EpochLink

Did not know there were this many NBA watchers / Embiid flopping haters on this board

 

[ephmrl]

Everyone always gave Crosby shit for being a whiny diver.

McDavid is way worse than Crosby ever was, and on top of that he's dirty because he knows he'll get away with murder.

Crosby actually grew and matured as a player with age and cut that nonsense out of his game.

 

[Donuts]

Refs not even hiding it

 

[TruGr1t]

Puffy Hrudey is back.

Yeah while McDavid is 27, and yet to even grow up or mature.

 

[Peen]

Rare time I agree with Elliot. The officiating on the critical plays has probably evened out. It’s just been awful. And we don’t benefit from a game with a lot of referee influence against this team

 

[ProviesGhost]

“Kelly, can I top up your Merlot?”

 

[Baby Pettersson]

I’m very surprised at how physical he is. Really throwing the body around on the forecheck and getting in on the first guy on the puck consistently. Very impressed.

Almost like our management knew what they were doing getting ready for the playoffs.

The balls on this man. Somewhere, Brandon Sutter is smiling.

Like, okay good solid positional two-way player who does things the right way and all that. Good. Great. Love it. And then out of nowhere he's suddenly just an absolute asshole out there.

He's playing like he's just aching for someone to try it and discover that he's also secretly a hell of a fighter.

 

[Peen]

Much better coached period there. Felt more even rather than the first where McDavid’s line destroyed us.

 

[wonton15]

Lindholm is becoming one of my favourite guys on the team

 

[alternate]

We've killed 1 penalty in a row *blink*blink* let's get on a streak here. Obvious statement, but huge PK to start the third.

 

[thecupismine]

Also Hrudy doing his best PPV Kirk McLean impersonation. Man needs to stop drinking between periods, holy moly.

I got to meet McLean at the alumni box once, that guy would pound back 15 beers no sweat throughout the course of the game, it was wild. Looks much better now thank goodness.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

The fact that both teams are complaining about the refs and going into this game we knew it was going to be horribly reffed makes you wonder why the heck these guys even get to ref in the first place. Making a joke of the game.

 

[Flik]

Just lock it down and put these f***ers on their heels.

Chant Skinner Skinner after the next one idgaf, just crush <3

 

[Rotang]

It's pathetic how the Oilers are looking to the refs for calls after almost every whistle or incidental contact. I ****ing hate this team.

 

[Canucks LB]

It’s basically 3-3, the Oilers are on a power-play, just come out strong in the third and out score them.

 

[Ace of Hades]

The guys who got heavily criticized in Boeser, Garland, and Lindholm are the ones playing their hearts off for this team. Hats off to these three in particular.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Another thing I want to talk about:

Hyman boarded Hughes in Game 1
Nurse boarded Pettersson in Game 2

Those were both dangerous hits and neither of them were called.

I think a bigger deal needs to be made of those hits.

 

[Red]

Lindholm is becoming one of my favourite guys on the team

He's a playoff player for sure.

 

[thecupismine]

The fact that both teams are complaining about the refs and going into this game we knew it was going to be horribly reffed makes you wonder why the heck these guys even get to ref in the first place. Making a joke of the game.

To be fair this has been a really hard game to ref overall, I don't envy them out there. The obvious misses are the super frustrating part, especially when a player is bleeding on the ice.

 

[moiderer]

Pierre Lebrun and Frank Seravalli randomly coming out of the woodwork on Twitter as Oilers homers was not on the bingo card that's already filled out by game 2.

 

[ProviesGhost]

It's pathetic how the Oilers are looking to the refs for calls after almost every whistle or incidental contact. I ****ing hate this team.

It’s one of their “pillars”

 

[Ninebreaker]

Zadorov so exciting to watch. I think this is his second end to end this playoffs

 

[TruKnyte]

It's pathetic how the Oilers are looking to the refs for calls after almost every whistle or incidental contact. I ****ing hate this team.

You’d think that would annoy the refs are awhile but it seems like it does the opposite
