Around the NHL Thread

In fairness to the Oilers, three of the games went to OT. Even if you discount the game where the Oilers blew a 4-1 lead, that's still potentially a 2-2 series if they get a few bounces. Pretty close in some aspects even for a 4-0 sweep.

Thats like saying our series against the avs was close. We blew 2 late leads and lost in ot, could've easily been 3-1 calgary going to game 5.

How can a franchise with McDavid and Draisaitl constantly view themselves as the underdogs hahahaha

I mean what that team could really use is one more 1OA and then they'll be unstoppable.

Until they need another one.

fixed that for you UC

Shame.

There's already talk they'll but him out. With him bought out, they'll have like 25 million in cap space.
Watch them pay guys like Brandon Saad just to fill in the roster to 'compete'.

One villain down, one to go. No relaxing until the Leafs are out.

My love of brodie is more powerful than my hatred of having to constantly hear about the Leafs. I'm cheering for Toronto this year to atleast make it out of the Canadian division.

I personally just want to see the Jets get knocked out. How humiliated would Oilers fans be that the team that swept them couldn't even advance another round!?

Calgary fans celebrate highlight of Flames' season

As long as the Canadian teams are playing, go Jets. After that, get f***ed.

I dislike Neal as much as the next guy, but if the Oilers buy him out, I think it would be kinda funny if he bounces back so that he can burn them a third time.

- 3rd rounder
- Bad enough to buy out
- Bounces back and becomes a useful player after being bought out by Edmonton

With the right excuse, who needs to worry about being humiliated by reality?

Yeah that's where I'm at too. I could stomach some Leafs success with Brodie there

What did he even do?

 

[Lunatik]

What did he even do?

A vice-chair would assume the lead in meeting if the chairman is unavailable. So, basically it's just a spot on the board where he gets to vote on certain issues, and lead the meeting if needed.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

What did he even do?

Vice chairman. Says so right in the tweet.

I hate Stephan A. Smith. I appreciate that he acknowledges that he knows nothing about hockey and that his commentary is mostly satire.

More importantly, I love this

 

[Mobiandi]

Shame.

That empty net post in game 4 of the 2018 SCF broke him. It's like all of his talent evaporated after that moment

He wasn't very good the 2nd half of that season either. I think t was when the end of January hit he stopped scoring.

I don't know who that is but I surely enjoyed it.

 

[DCDM]

Now how you gonna do hockey like that?????????

Sound slike Ethan Bear has been facing a ton of racism since the Oilers were eliminated. I'm not a big fan of Bear and don't think he's all that good, but f*** anyone throwing out racist bullshit towards him.

 

[Lunatik]

Isles just scored 2 quick foals to take the lead

 

[Lunatik]

Make it 3. Almost a 4th. The Isles have really taken control

Also love how loud Nassau Coliseum is despite limited capacity, that is the perfect arena to generate playoff noise.
