Wowwwww Elliotte just said he thinks skinner is in tomorrow

Elliotte is an idiot.

 

[jackjohnson]

Elliotte is an idiot.

I have a feeling it will be Skinner for sure. They will go with their number 1 for elimination game unless people here think Skinner is relegated to backup position now and Pickard is number 1.

Kris Knoblauch flips big switch in office from 'split up McDavid and Draisaitl' to 'play McDavid and Draisaitl together'

EDMONTON - With the Oilers facing elimination in their series with the Vancouver Canucks, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch has taken the bold choice to flip the big red switch in his office and play his two superstars together.

thebeaverton.com

“And as Oilers coach I know there is only one way to fix that: if Connor and Leon were playing together last game split them up. If they were playing on different lines put them together.”

 

[HugginThePost]

Seems pretty clear to me which coach has got his team executing their gameplan and getting buy in throughout the roster. Oilers have had a real tough time breaking out of their zone this series minus game 4. They've got two D that can make a good breakout pass, Canucks have had the right idea forechecking the shit out of this blueline rather than the Kings who tried to sit back in the 1-3-1.

Vancouver winning the physical battle wasn't really what I expected though, goes to show the value of having some big mobile beef on the backend in the playoffs.

Brian Burke approves of this message!

 

[Breakers]

Why no Campbell ?

 

[jackjohnson]

Dallas or rangers or avalanche would sweep

I think people need to stop talking about sweeps especially when you get to final 8. How many sweeps where there innthese playoffs? And you think a Tocchet coached team will get swept that easily? Zadorov himself will take a chunk out of a team before they can even sweep them. Also Demko will be fresh and healthy when he comes back while the opponents goalie are not as fresh.

Forget the slow mow the real time in this clip if you are in Petterssons skates what do you do with Foegle coming at you to finish his check?

Even Craig Simpson the pro Oiler pbp guy is like wtf lol

Edit: Keep in mind Pettersson also got crushed by Nurse in this series it looked brutal and not called. What is the guy supposed to do?

I guess we need rules on how a player can absorb a hit, because that’s what y did

An actual NHL ref: “I can’t explain that one. That is the worst call of the entire playoffs.”

Oilers fans: “That is the most obvious charge we have ever seen.”

Which ref said that?

 

[Artemi Panarin]

The Zamboni driver should be a consideration before Skinner is allowed on the ice again

 

[oceanchild]

You heard about this dynamic from a friend... Right?

watched the first episode of a show on Netflix’s a few years back. A large African American male who was kind of scary looking described how life was in prison. I didn’t feel the need to watch any additional episodes.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Watching the Avs vs Stars series it’s not as intense and tight checking as this series. Called it here first, the winner of the VAN vs EDM series is going to the finals.

 

[Tebowz]

we could see the McDrai line play 30 minutes if they get down early tmr

 

[BB79]

Edmonton should go after Ullmark in the offseason. I would throw in Carolina but I'd prefer him to go to a team I can stand

I believe it was Tim Peele

Yeah, a guy who's a self-admitted game manager is definitely someone whose opinions we should respect.

 

[Bizzare]

Yeah, a guy who's a self-admitted game manager is definitely someone whose opinions we should respect.

He’s cheering for the Oilers, agreed it was a bad call… just for context.

Plus we all know there is game management in the NHL, he was just stupid enough to get caught.

 

[JAK]

What a game it would be if Skinner skates out on the ice to his own crowd booing him

I’ll boo from home. We aren’t gonna be chanting LETS GO STEWEY like some cringe crowds.

Yea Vancouver is cringe for supporting their players even through a enormous slump. What a shit fan base.

Hockey gods are mysterious and cruel sometimes. I strongly believe that "goalposts is not good goaltending" and "let's go Petey" has connections to the GWG in Game 5.

Kinda like all the shit talking from Avs fans has prevented another finals appearance since their win.

Hmm going back to Skinner eh. Fascinating decision either way for EDM.

Well it’s been a good series, SS. Good luck against the Stars!

Your aboard the Pickard train eh?

I haven't been overly impressed with him tbh, he's made some nice saves but feels very beatable. Skinner has higher upside/some bounce back potential but hasnt been able to give them a big save.

I don't know what I would do if I was Knoblauch.
