Post-Game Talk: Cody Crybabies Beat Final Boss Doughty

[nerevarine]

Nucks lost, so the Oilers are 6 points back with one game in hand and one game head to head. Things are getting interesting.

Two games in hand i believe

That corrupt Ottawa loss really stings now. Could have had a good shot at 1st if Vegas wants to stay up in 3rd

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

You are both correct, they hadn't updated the standings on the NHL app. Damn this is going to be interesting, I hope they chase them down.

 

[CupofOil]

With the Vancouver loss, the Oilers are only 6 points back with 2 games in hand. The division title feels within grasp (didn't realize it was that close) and, lets be honest, not winning a division title in the McDavid era is pretty embarrassing so might as well get that out of the way and do it now.

I only care b/c Vegas could finish 3rd, but them or LA will be hard. It's so close we won't know who plays who until the very end most likely.

Skinner bailing out Vinny was the TSN turning point. He doesn't make that save and it's probably 1-1 going into the 3rd.

 

[Senor Catface]

Not My Fault Skinner

With the picture still so open, they can realistically draw any one of VGK, LA or Nashville.

I think I would prefer Nashville... if only because it would be a new series. I'm not looking forward to another trapping fest by the Kings

Big win, big statement, imo, from a lot of important players.

Great win.

will be a challenging playoffs. A part of me wants to see Vegas finish in the WC and face Central teams.

Nashville only if they finish ahead of Vancouver. Not very likely, imho. LA or Vegas in the first round most likely.

 

[BlackDogg]

So now it's Vegas again?

 

[oXo Cube]

So now it's Vegas again?

Imagine if we steal the division title from Vancouver just to get matched up with the f***ing Kings again anyway.

 

[Zerotonine]

When Skinner is om he is fking on, problem is he is off more then he on.....

I'd love to see the numbers that back this take up

 

[Yablo21]

Oilers gonna finish first in the division anyway

damn, a win in ottawa would have put us in striking distance

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

 

[VainGretzky]

McDavid making Kucherov and Mackinnon hold their sticks tighter now, Mack goose egg tonight

 

[I am the Liquor]

Skinner played great. He will have to be consistently like that if there is any chance of going deep in the playoffs. Vinny D is our worst dman by a lot. He has looked bad since his fight/injury.

 

[CupofOil]

I don't even care too much about the opponent, playoffs are hard and each opponent will present a different set of challenges but they have to break this absurd lack of division titles streak. What is it 37 years now? That's ridiculous considering that they've had Gretzky, Messier, McDavid, Draisaitl etc. in that timeframe. No time like the present..

 

[Gordy Elbows]

If we do end up playing LA, we better have home ice advantage. I recall in our previous series with them that their ice was mush at playoff time because the Lakers had games going as well. Playing in LA means no speed hockey…passing is a crapshoot….and puck bounces too much. When the Oilers lose their speed and passing game, we’re in trouble.

2 games in hand, so more interesting than you think. Trouble is the Oilers lose tiebreakers so they would have to finish ahead of Nucks. But not inconceivable.

 

[Sanchez]

Anyone worried how Kane will be in playoffs got their answer tonight. Team was dialed in from the start, patient, and Skinner was excellent. PK was excellent and let's keep this momentum going on Saturday!

 

[McFlyingV]

Draisaitl always a monster in big games. Maybe that will get some posters off his back for a game or two.

Great showing all around. Bring on another Kings 1st round matchup. When we play patient and structured we walk all over them.

Actually I just realized Vegas passed them tonight. Interesting. And we actually could still pass Vancouver.

 

[Satire]

Bonus points to whoever gets the reference!

McDavid is probably gonna win the Ross, which is insane given how he started the season.

Skinner very solid tonight.

I chuckled when they played Seth's theme song during one of the penalty kills, but was also sad that no one sang along...

Good game - I caught the last 2 periods and the shot clock really doesn't reflect the game on this one. Up until the last 8 minutes or so of the game the Oilers really weren't giving up much. Skinner also look solid here too.

Player I noticed the most was actually Drai. Dude was absolutely beasting tonight!

 

[McTedi]

At the game in the sky lounge, had to come home to see who actually scored lol. Great food but basically watching from the rafters. Good win.
