Oh for f***s sakes, I forgot to include the original quote and now I can't add it after media is in the post.

Meh, they tore apart Whyte Street in 2006. Basically a riot for Edmonton.
But that was nearly 20 yrs ago so it’s hard to forget. lol

Yea that whole line of Garland-Blueger-Joshua was really good tonight. Created lots of chances and drew lots of penalties.
Garland is pretty effective driving a line on the bottom 6, providing a little bit of speed, tenacity and skill. Good teams have depth scoring and Garland can provide that. If only he cost a little bit less on the cap, he would've been a perfect fit. As is, I hope they don't just give him away for free, and dump Beau if they need cap space.

Nice atmosphere these days.
Just wish we could get a more upbeat goal song.
Apparently the fans were singing it outside the arena.
Or at least, 1 or 2 very loud fans with a camera.

this is my take too. great fun entertaining game, and full value for the comeback and win, but demko was shaky and we were giving up some nice chances. a better offensive team than the isles would have put the boots to us. plus, apart from the garland line, it seemed as if not much was happening for us 5 on 5 until the miller line picked up in the third.
but we were/are just lethal on the pp. i'd actually be curious what our scoring rate is like compared to other teams in all situations other than 5 on 5. we seem to be a very dangerous team 4v4, 3v3, 5v4 and 6v4 (but not particularly at 5v3).
I love reading this board after a win like this; I kept thinking how different the commenting would have been if the refs called 5 straight penalties against us with the 5th and 6th being on the same play creating a 2 minute 5-on-3. Strangely I don't remember a single complaint about the refs tonight. We got lucky, pure and simple. I thought Sorokin outplayed Demko by a bit and the whole "Pettersson is playing injured" narrative suggests to me that no player has ever played more games hurt for us than he. I'm really liking Blueger and the Hughes goal is what I get for telling my wife seconds before what a muffing of a shot he has. I was glad to see Bo get a goal which was the perfect erect middle finger to the cretins who were booing him. So much of the discussion here has nothing to do with the game at hand and much to do with the collective neurosis that infects a vocal but, IMHO, small minority of "fans" here. To these sad people I must remind you that it is not yet December...

Make no mistake, I love the movie and song! Just...doesn't seem to go well with epic moments. Really hope we pick something else for the playoffs.Apparently the fans were singing it outside the arena.

The guy who forgot to follow Quinn Hughes up ice in OT, was Bo Horvat.

Don't see anything wrong with it, but maybe that's because I love that song.Nice atmosphere these days.

I think that was more on Barzal who had Hughes and then left him to chase the puck carrier. Barzal imo has never really lived up to his early potential. Too many poor decisions defensively.

So you're suggesting that Petey is chronically injured all the time? Naslund apparently had the same problem IIRC...

They didnt even see him as a one time option for like the first several games, he needs to be given those looks more he has a howitzer.
Was that the hardest shot in team history?

i sort of agree. i have never seen one player draw two penalties in a sequence before, and i have seen edler many times get his money's worth and pile on the cross checks after taking one penalty. but both calls were legit and blatant and the first interfered with a scoring chance. there was also another potential call against petersson on the entry that they let go just before and at least one other player hauled down in the 6 on 5. the isles were getting pretty desperate leading up to that point and were taking advantage of the previous pp imbalance to just mug guys thinking the refs would not call another. i think they earned the call.
and bo's goal was a flutterer in off a pad so i wouldn't call it "erect"

I saw on Twitter that it was the hardest recorded shot in an NHL game. Over 107mph is bonkers

No, I'm saying that Ohlund/Salo logged a ton of games while injured, is all.
But I guess it's vogue to be hating on those dirty Euros again...
Not hating on Petey at all; as usual you miss my point. Which is that the favoured sons of this franchise never have bad or indifferent games, it's always because they are secretly nursing some mystery injury that makes any sub standard play not their fault. When Lou pulled his groin in an afternoon road game not only was that the primary excuse for any crummy play he might have produced for about a year it also created a collective neurosis in a segment of this fanbase about... afternoon start road games that permeates to this day. Funny I never ever hear anybody suggesting that Myers bad play might be because of some unknown mystery injury. An excuse, pure and simple.
It's almost like guys who have years of track record of playing terrific hockey are given the benefit of the doubt and guys who are shit players are not.
Also in Pettersson's case Tocchet has mentioned - twice - that he's banged up and nursing an injury so this isn't a 'secret mystery injury' invented by fans.
I do agree about the afternoon game injury thing. That's dumb as hell.
