Post-Game Talk: Cli(e)nched

[McDrai]

Don't ever dress Ryan McLeod again. Adam Henrique, please be healthy for Dallas

McLeod has been abysmal in all of his postseason appearances over the course of his career. The new GM will need to take a look at players who haven’t been able to elevate in playoff appearances and try to upgrade on those particular positions.

All you quitter fans can f*** off. @CycloneSweep

It's a virtual guarantee Skinner is going to singlehandedly blow at least one game. Pickard is going to make 9/10 saves, he's been a .900 goalie pretty much everywhere he's played. Start him and ride him

 

[CycloneSweep]

All you quitter fans can f*** off. @CycloneSweep

Love you too.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Almost perfect. McLeod needs to sit out a couple games. He’s not ready for the limelight.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

That was stressful

If that late strategy was a coach’s call, we need to water board the bugger! How many times has that failed? Does somebody just not get it?
Thankfully, Knob called the timeout to settle things.

 

[Moregoalspls]

f*** this panel, I think gazdic is the only homer there

 

[29Beast97Mode]

There was a dude in the canucks crowd holding up a fake Stanley Cup after that 3-2 goal lol

 

[TB12]

Connor lost his voice from yelling lol

LEADER!

Oh captain, my captain <3

 

[KCC]

We are way, way better than Vancouver.

If this is the goaltending we get Dallas is going to sweep us.

Pikard has been great. I’d personally start him but I know everyone here thinks skinner is a #1. He’s going to get lit up like a Christmas tree.

 

[Broberg Speed]

I partially agree. But we won't beat Dallas without a third line that's clicking. And McLeod gives that line footspeed.

He and Foegele need to wake the f*** up.

Feels good though. We're moving on.

Right now I think McLeod should be 4th line winger at best and I don't know if we can trust him doing that.

Probably will soften opinion but he needs to get his head out of his ass. This was the most important game of his life and he kept Vancouver in this game.

Imagine if we lost this series. He almost made that come true.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Lol Sportsnet is in mourning.

What a buzzkill panel.

f*** them. We DON’T need them and don’t need their support whatsoever.

 

[elmeroil]

Let's go petey

 

[belair]

McLeod has to sit forever
He does nothing

Wins faceoffs, kills penalties and keeps our fourth liners on the fourth line. He just needs to be better.

Henrique in for Ryan might wake that third line up offensively.

 

[McDoused]

Likes are coming after the heart attack is over. I need a few days.

 

[Ruok]

canucks are a terrible match up for the Oilers. They had our number all season. Time to come strong against Dallas.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Big win!

 

[BlackDogg]

Flames only got a fourth round pick and not a third? (lindholm trade)

 

[yukoner88]

The playoffs hair and beard live on!!

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Hrudey, go cry yourself to sleep tonight.

 

[Drivesaitl]

They birdied the game. One under the Oilers.

Not bad

Yeah. But this is the flukeshot Nucks so you knew it was coming. I was saying that in the first that they would find their 10mins in the game. What they do all the time.

This game I was clenching.

f*** Mcleod. jebus. But also Brown taking the absolute bozo puck out penalty that got Nucks going a bit. I thought we were playing a perfect period until then. Both plays changed how the period went.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

This team, what an effort tonight. Didn't panic, didn't chase, didn't break. This f***ing team, let's Go Oilers.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

I made a change to your first line

f***ing McLeod. I’m so happy but also still seething at McLeod

I think I now understand the bit about his speed….he makes mistakes wayyyyyy faster.

 

[GMofOilers]

Well not going to lie I was fully clenched, what a team game, gave up 5 shots all period, and not a shot on goal once they scored their 2nd goal

I agree. But you can't break up that fourth line the way they are. They're humming. The only line that hasn't really started firing is that third line.
