Post-Game Talk: Oilers put Hollywood in production hell

[ConnorNova0929]

You don't know how hockey works, that's fine. You don't have to like him, but he's not coming out and not for Brown.

Maybe he will come out for Ryan. But you cannot watch that game and say Carrick was "good" lol.

Holy f***ing shit

Oilers had like a 8.5 xGF

 

[TheNumber4]

They have 4 centres in the top 6 lol. That's not the issue, but Knobby did play Holloway at centre near the end of the third so keep an eye out for that.

Lol I know it’s not. I’m being sarcastic. Sorry my bad though, you’d have to know my posting history to get the joke.

 

[tiger_80]

I think the lines stay the same, but don't forget Brown also like penalties. And as far as a penalty-killing 4C goes, we still have Ryan sitting and available.

Carrick is clearly better than Ryan at this stage of the latter's career. Brown lost his job to Holloway, not Carrick.

Awful player and a cheap shot artist. Needs to get the shit kicked out of him, but he wouldn’t even go with Bouch, maybe Nuge can pound his lights out.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Wholy shit. I don't think I've ever seen this.

 

[TheNumber4]

He didn't get the Taylor Swifty treatment tonight. Pretty sure he must not have been there. Maybe he didn't get the makeup right.

I joked during the game if he fell off the band wagon. But I was expecting to see him. Was he really not there though? Did anyone see him tonight?

 

[WEMCHUD]

Good game by skinner, finally has a good game in the playoffs under his belt.

Also Bouchard tossed for I can only assume manhandling Dubois.

 

[soothsayer]

I'll gladly take the win but the Kings will be tougher next game. There is a long way to go yet.

Maybe, but this honestly seemed like a death throe from them. Just a desperate, pathetic display from a team that knows it's clearly not on the same level as the team that's about to bounce them the third year in a row.

 

[tiger_80]

Basically, Gagner-Ryan-Brown is the fifth line now.

That's a suspendable play imo.

 

[bellagiobob]

Man is made for the playoffs.

 

[TheNumber4]

Kings are extremely lucky to not be down 3-0

Yup. See any bats out of mid air tonight or double deflections? Without luck, this series is already over.

Sure hope you are right. Going home with a best of 3 affair will be stressful.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Edmonton with 8.5 expected goals in this game lmfao.

We scored 6 and statistically Talbot was good.

Its strange even that Talbot made the best save in the game on a close in deflection. Yikes, that was actually hard. To say that he got no help today from Doughtys opening miscue on is about it.

Doughty has had two pretty bad games in this series. Sure he's scored a couple. But he's mentally been short circuiting.

Kings PP though, man, its awful. What is Hiller looking at? That unit don't work and they aren't even getting the puck to Kempe. Fiala botched 7 plays on PP tonight. He's so inside his own head he's useless.

Kings not making any adjustments, still using the pk diamond as well. Hiller looks to be not very good.

 

[tiger_80]

Apparently Kane can play with Draisaitl.

They were very effective last year together.

 

[Jarvi]

I am exaggerating, but he was on the receiving end of big hits several times. He blew up the defensive coverage, which led to a goal against, scored a goal, and got into a fight. He was in the thick of things, but it's not like he was having a great game.

He also assisted Leon's first.

Was he the best player on the ice? I wouldn't say so, there is a handful of future HOF'ers on the ice after all. But if you don't think he made a major positive impact, worthy of any teams top 6, then your just wrong.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Yup he was dialed it. Really great two way game. I think Kane was also an adrenaline dart for line 2 when he was moved up. Really helped that line to play a hard, aggressive forecheck game.

Yeah it was a good move tonight but very situational because if the energy isn’t there for those two and they aren’t constantly moving the feet then the two of them together can be a liability sometimes.

Tonights Leon is my favourite version. Not cheating for chances, not getting out of position looking for odd man breaks. Just making smart plays, using his body effectively , getting his feet moving and most importantly just really taking it personal when the other team embarrasses you a bit defensively.

Back when I used to play hockey I looooved scoring but at a certain point I realized that scoring was a great feeling but what felt even better was taking that feeling from others. Eventually I enjoyed stripping opponents of that feeling better then I liked the feeling of actually scoring and those were the years I felt like I was the best hockey player I could be.

Jesus. Even his trips look lazy.

 

[Messrules11]

Wheres Will Feral when the Kings need him? Didn't see him anywhere. Taking crazy pills?

I was thinking the same thing

 

[Tobias Kahun]

He hasn't been great all series. I'd put Ryan in that spot.

Against the kings you want to get smaller?

Did you not watch this game

 

[tiger_80]

McDavid too, outstanding again

McDavid with a very Hymanesque goal.

 

[bellagiobob]

I just bought a California Closet. Although I expect to get slewfooted when I enter the closet.
