Post-Game Talk: Fire Tippett, trade Bear

[Marty McSurly]

I am still shocked that McDavid and Draisaitl DREW 1 CALL IN TOTAL BETWEEN THEM lol

That is laughable. garbage league in the playoffs.

That is where you need your second line, etc to come through and lift some weight while those two are being Epsteined every game

I just read an article on the Athletic where they counted 30 penalties by the Jets on McDavid that went uncalled

It's so absurd at this point that all I can do is laugh. I would love if Holland did a Burke style press conference calling out this bullshit but he won't do it.

Anyone else not that disappointed today? Last night sucked, but I'm already over it and looking forward to the offseason.

I've never been a big fan of Dom's but he's putting the refs on blast.

Stephen A Smith is bashing the oilers now. This is so embarrassing... this has to be the newest low of the franchise imo.

Just like the Oilers, it’s time to focus on golf for a while.

I mean he does ok for him, but it's nice to call attention to the Stars on this team, even if it's to high light something not so good.

Stephen A. knows about as much about hockey as my grandma, but he admits it too lol. If you watch basketball you’d know you’re not gonna get good analysis out of this guy, he’s an entertainer who sparks debates. Segment was good for a laugh and that’s about all it’s worth.

The GWG is on Tippet more so then anyone else. Sure, Mcdavid made a weak dump in, Bear wasn't quicker getting off, Barrie wasn't quicker getting on and Larsson was out of position but it was Tippet that called for the line change. Just like how he pulled Smith in Game 1 with the 4th line on the ice and the team didn't have puck possession.

That is honestly nuts how scared we seemed to be to have Bear on the ice. 20s shift and we're in a panic for him to come off just as McDavid is crossing center. Why even put him out there at all? McDavid was out because we were about to be able to go on the offensive at the very end of the PK. A forward is coming out of the box, so it's not like we couldn't put the D we wanted out there for a full shift.

Ah well, whatever I guess. Damn this paper thin roster and having half a team the coach is scared to play, but then for some reason plays for 20 seconds.

He's the ESPN Steve Dangle.

Yells at the camera, doesn't provide any good points, doesn't understand what sports hes watching.

RIght..I just watched it. It's like Max Kellerman talking about anything other than boxing.

"CONNOR MCDAVID AND LEON DRAISAITL! I don't know you that well... I really don't."

Was he on his "wokester" stuff too?

..yeah, He's better than Spec. I'll give him that.

All true, but at least Stephen A. can be entertaining and funny.

Dangle is just a tubby douchebag who sits in his basement and yells about the Leafs.

Just a short 2 minute ramble from someone who doesn't know s*** about hockey. Link above if interested.

Last nights effort made me feel a lot better about the series.

It sucks and its a bummer for sure, but I am looking forward to seeing what Holland can do with some money.

I'll have to look that guy up. .. So many douchebags in sports media.

Basketball superstars get calls, there would never be a series where a Kevin Durant is allowed to be grabbed/hit/bumped without the other team fouling out and gifting the Nets a ton of free points.

Hockey is the opposite, they want to put low skill players on par with the best players and look the other way on calls.

Yeah that's about right.

He kinda looked at the Oilers as if they were a Basketball team where if you have two generational superstars on your team you likely win a lot more.

But hockey is a much different game. Its a lot more random and stars don't sway games as much as they do on the court.

Eh I liked it, it was entertaining and funny. Better than a lot of what Sportsnet or TSN does.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Same here. Deep down, I think most realistic fans here realized we weren't going to go far. Getting swept sucks, but it makes it crystal clear that this team is a long way from where it needs to be. Part of me worried that getting to the second round and winning a few would convince management that the team was only a couple pieces away, instead of the obvious reality.

You call it entertaining and funny.

I call it annoying and obnoxious.
