Post-Game Talk: Crysaitl

[I Eat Crow]

Hard to believe Edmonton is so bad. They literally have SIX former top 5 picks on their roster (four of whom were drafted by EDM, and four of whom were top 3 picks). The Rangers have two (Laf and Kakko). How can a team get elite talent year after year and still not improve at all?

You ain't shit in this league unless you get at least league average goaltending and an all situations #1 defenseman. They hitched their wagons to Campbell and Nurse for those roles, and they ain't it.

Terrible coach...fire him!

 

[Captain Lindy]

That's awesome. This team believes in themselves.

Oilers board is delicious right now. Ready to trade Draisaitl five times over.

You're not allowed to celebrate if you said "game over" back in the first. No deficit is insurmountable if you're playing Edmonton.

I’ll take Draisaitl here

The only way to make that win sweeter was for Trouba to knock the stick out of Draisatl’s hands… next time…

 

[I Eat Crow]

Can he give me the Powerball numbers for next week so I can retire?

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Kravtsov doesn't draw the penalty that leads to the 5 on 3 because he's admiring his dirty blonde locks flowing in the wind #hockeyaesthetics

I wouldn’t call it drawing a penalty. More like Janmark was exhausted and took a lazy penalty on a player who wasn’t near the puck.
In the words of Mike Rupp “Bill Pito would have drawn a penalty there”.

Damn, why doesn't he just say it before every single game? We may never lose again.

I have no ill will towards Gallant but ....

When accounting for cap hit, jimmy vesey is one of the most valuable players in hockey. $800K and the guy is noticeable every night. How the hell did we get him essentially for 3 years at $800K!? Was he promised by drury to be HC in waiting!?

 

[ohbaby]

I thought it was a great effort. Can't really pick out many guys that weren't hustling. The big thing for me is they didn't let the bad puckluck/goaltending /whatever get to them. They played a good second and totally dominated the third.

Still, if it weren't the Oilers, I doubt the comeback would have worked. Campbell's save pct is awful this year.

 

[mas0764]

Can we trade Tarasenko and get our first round pick back?

 

[hackeyman]

I'm so pumped now I'll never get to sleep.

I hear you !

A lot to like about a huge comeback like that.

Igor was absolutely lights out after the first and was cool as a cucumber in the shootout - made it look too easy.

Fox, Mika and Kreider all came up big at key moments when the team needed someone to make something happen.

Trouba’s play during that OT PK against McDavid was absurd and likely saved the game.

Kakko and Laf both showed some serious nuts on those SO goals.

Edit: also Kakkos pass and Lafs shot on his goal in the third were both absolutely ridiculous.

The bad of course was that like 10 minutes of everyone forgetting how to play defense and Igor being a sieve. Also thought Panarin was being passive again. Spent so much of his ice time at the point and half-wall. His passes were executed well but he’s got to get between the dots more. Can’t count on Vesey to be the goal scorer on that line

 

[Roo Returns]

unbelievably big dicked performance by Igor to shut out the highest scoring team in hockey after that horrific 1st period

Igor was human for a few weeks last March in case anyone forgot.

At the end of the day as long as he brings it for the playoffs, is all that matters.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Speechless

 

[mas0764]

Lafreniere is 21 and looks like he's been making alimony payments for 10 years.

He needs to lose that f***ing goatee permanently.

Man, that’s some Weird Science.

Love that movie, lol.

That Lee goal off DeSmith is the funniest shit ever

Nice of you to post here Mrs. Vesey.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

One of my favorite games of the season, right up there with the Dallas comeback.

What a win, this team is legit. Let's f***ing go

 

[Synergy27]

I searched google images for "McDavid with huge nipples", but alas, came away empty handed.

Tomorrow is a new day, and my quest continues.

Try ChatGPT.

 

[hackeyman]

Still, if it weren't the Oilers, I doubt the comeback would have worked. Campbell's save pct is awful this year.

He looked like Hasek at times tonight.

No take backs on that extension you signed Jimbo.
