OT: Around the NHL: Go Avs...

[K Fleur]

When Crosby/Malkin were in their mid 20’s the Pens gave a premium extension to Kris Letang.

Same situation for McDavid/Drai and the Oilers gave one to Darnell Nurse.

El oh el.

 

[Gurglesons]

Whoever said shitty goaltending nailed it. That was Domingue quality by Kuemper.

We are very lucky we didn’t give up a 1st for him

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Lmfao. Incredible save

What a game

WHAT IS GOING ON. I love this sport

 

[canadianguy77]

My lord. I’ve never seen a team play such shit defense this late in the playoffs.

 

[Al Smith]

I think Mike Smith has had enough.

 

[Coastal Kev]

This is so much fun.............

People are actually complaining about the game on the main boards.............

Bad d first coaching has led to the most moronic fans of any sport

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

I'll give one thing to Mike Smith. Pretty solid head of hair for a 50-year-old

 

[K Fleur]

Feels like every Avs shot from the top circle has gone in.

 

[Jacob]

What decade is this

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

You hitched your wagon, during the absolute prime of two generational talents' careers, to Mike f***ing Smith.

They should rescind Holland's HHOF spot.

 

[canadianguy77]

Oilers are shell shocked lol.

This ain’t on the goalie. That team doesn’t play defense. They could have 8 or 9 already.

 

[Coastal Kev]

I mean........any goalie would be having a tough ride tonight.

AVS ARE FLYING

Great game

Mike Smith had a .930 SV% coming into this game.

 

[BHD]

Holland needs to go hand a blank cheque to an actual #1 dman. Oh yeah, it’s no longer 2002.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Vasi versus Igor in the East.

Beer league versus retirement home in the West

 

[Gurglesons]

Ceci has been good for them.

The main issue is that Ceci is their best defenseman.

Gonna be tough since they're already paying Nurse like one

Mike Smith is trash. He's an exaggerated version of MAF--either posting a 45+ save shutout, or a sub .800 sv%. The latter is far more frequent than the former.

 

[dogthateats]

Not to
Complain about everything, but I don’t really like games like this lol

 

[Gurglesons]

He has a career .930 in the playoffs. Not surprised your take is awful here though.

They’re already so top heavy that I doubt it would work. I’d trade I of the 2 big guys for a massive haul of picks and prospects and go from there.

 

[Gurglesons]

Remember when the Oilers were dead after 2 periods in G1 of the last series.

 

[66-30-33]

Kuemper had to poop.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Man, Makar's f***ing gross. As close to Orr as we'll ever see, imo.

 

[canadianguy77]

Remember when the Oilers were dead after 2 periods in G1 of the last series.

Oilers clearly don’t know how to play defense and they finally ran into a team that can out possess them. I doubt they can score their way out of this.
