Post-Game Talk: Cody Crybabies Beat Final Boss Doughty

[Frank the Tank]

LA has an easier schedule than Vegas down the stretch and has a game in hand . Nonetheless, Vegas has been playing well as of late so it will be a battle.

Talbot hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Think it's safe to say we pretty much have second locked up. There's always a chance at first but it's still a lot of ground to make up.

I'm conflicted at who I want to finish third, Knights or Kings...

1. Ceci played well, while VD played bad
2. Kane and Drai really upped their games. Playoff intensity
3. Ekholm was off
4. Bouchard didn't make 5000 mistakes
5. Skinner was great

The Tampa Couch is terrified. McDavid is always around the corner.

Hyman has almost as many goals as McDavid and Draisaitl combined.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

I have to say that it does make it a lot easier to get up and work on a holiday when the Oilers slap around the Kongs.

 

[Faelko]

So on the Henrique goal, watch Doughty. McDavid gets the draw and goes for a skate behind the net and out to to blue line with Doughty chasing him out there, Oilers cycle the puck down low and score. It’s basically what Vegas did to the Oilers in the playoffs last year.

Pepperdige Farm remembers.

Some of the comments made by posters here about him at that time were...less than kind. Never doubt this man.

 

[CupofOil]

I like when Skinner looks like an NHL goaltender. It should happen more often.

Is this the only game you've watched this season?

I still think he’s been battling a nagging injury and just coming out of it in the past few weeks. I do in fact have the Internet Doctor Of Online Medicine & Body Language Degree so it’s pretty definitive.

Vegas will add Hertl and Stone (and Hill) to their playoff roster, whereas the Kings iced their playoff team last night.

Crazy how much a win quiets down the PGT's.

I want to punch Ceci in the face slightly less today!

Yeah but there's always an element of vengeance too that would be nice.

One poster kept blabbing about him finishing with 90 points.

Still hoping beyond hope we don't play LA and StL somehow ekes out the final WC spot and knocks Vegas right out of it.

I harbored the same thought (Blues passing the Knights) until Vegas regrouped their game after the new additions.

The Blues have a mountain to climb after they couldn't beat Vegas in regulation this week.

 

[The Panther]

In a playoff series right now, the Oilers will easily beat either Los Angeles or Vegas. We have nothing to fear from either of those clubs. If Vegas gets healthy, they might at least be a challenge, but since Dec. 15th they are 23rd overall and the Oilers are 1st. Oilers will handle either of those teams, barring major injury to important players.

I want Knights to play Avs or Stars and kill each other

 

[Oilers in NS]

I still havent watched replay. Sounds like Vinny needs to come out and Stetcher in?

 

[harpoon]

Hyman has almost as many goals as McDavid and Draisaitl combined.

Hyman has 20% of all the Oiler goals.
It’s quite astonishing.

Desharnais was horrible last night by my eye and the stats didn’t lie as well:

LA is a deceptively quick team so if you’re not fleet of foot you’re going to need to make some really smart decisions with the puck. Desharnais looked overwhelmed last night just like he did against the Kings in the 2023 playoffs. He is still important to the PK though so I’d try a 11-7 with him as the 7th Dman primarily taking the short handed minutes.

Not really. It’s looking increasingly likely that our game against Vancouver on the 13th will decide who wins. We’re 6 back with 2 games in hand. Win those and the head to head and we’re tied. Then it just comes down to points in the other 8 games

 

[Zerotonine]

32 wins says otherwise.

So he has a good game and all of a sudden he is early 90s Roy? Can't wait for the pitch forks after he flops in hos next game

Nice straw man. No one is calling him 90s Roy.

Like I said earlier. Show us some numbers that prove that Skinner is off more than he is on. I'd love to see them.
