Kris Russell with a filthy snipe

[Brownbeard]

Hard not to feel bad for the guy. That picture of Kadri laughing will stick around for a while as will the video. But what was he thinking? We all have brain farts though.

We'll take it. The Leafs dominated in the first, the Oil were better in the second and the third was pretty even. Leafs gave up too many shots, but Brossoit made some big saves to keep at least two, maybe more sure goals out.

The one the Leafs got outshot 45-36 and got outscored 4-2 at even strength? (Minus Russell's flub)

Sure the Oilers played better in period 2 and 3 but they were lucky that it wasn't 5-1 after the 1st.

Oilers are a desperate team, this stretch is their entire season, doesn't surprise me they went down swinging like that.

Leafs had a lot more high danger chances than the Oilers. 18 to 12

Sometimes you have to consider the quality of shots. In the first, the Leafs' shot quality was very high. The Oilers didn't seem to have as many great shots even though they had more.

 

[Critical13]

WOWWWW.....where was that posted? That's way over the line.

GDT....pretty f***ed up!

Not only this is a disaster of a play (I legit am not sure what he was even trying to do), this is exactly the type of game the Oilers could be looking back on and saying "What If" if they barely miss the playoffs. They deserved 2 points, the fact they got nothing considering they need whatever they can get at this point has to be deflating.

Yeah, I mean, considering you were trailing most of the game, its most likely you will out shoot us due to score effects. We won the possession battle with score adjustments.

 

[OVO16]

Lol the fact that it happened right in front of Nazem Kadri of all people must be devastating for oilers fans everywhere.

They all hate kadri

Taking it well I see

Brutal. No one deserves such a fate.

Just terrible.

 

[snipes]

Summarizes our season.

Hockey felt fun again for about 30 mins then that. 1 good season in 11, why us Oiler fans still stand by this team I don't know.

 

[Menzinger]

I like Russell for what he is, I really do. But what he is NOT is a 4mil 2nd pairing guy. What an atrocious contract

He’s a bottom pairing guy that a team should be happy if they could sign for a 1 year 1 million deal, not a long term commitment like 4x4.

 

[Skate2Stick]

What game did you watch? Oilers didn't show up at all in the first period. The third period was back and forth.
No where near close to "the better team"

Obviously you didn't watch the game.

 

[mouz135]

And still, to this day, Edmonton is no good.

Glorious.

Kadri is a troll. That's what he does. He seems to stick it to the Oilers like Heatley did to the Leafs.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Weak thread, it was just an accident.

Hey, at least my team's dmen don't try to kill the goalie until after they score

 

[McDavidCrushedLarkin]

GDT....pretty ****ed up!

I'll say..

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

NHL reffing is so bad, that play was clearly offside!

Ohh wait Russell plays for the Oilers, nm.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Laine: "Mr. Russell I now relinquish the "own goal" hat over to you."
Russell: "What? I don't want it. What do I do with that?"
Laine: "You wear it until the next guy rockets a howitzer into his own net."
Russell: "But that could take years."
Laine: "Well if you're lucky, you may only have to wait a year. But it could take much longer."
Russell: "Nooooooo!"

Russell is the Blitz

 

[Brownbeard]

Guess so. I love the guy.

 

[Kelly]

Worst part probably was him looking up and seeing Kadris smug face

 

[Future GOAT]

Ouch. That was a disgusting way to lose.

 

[OVO16]

LOL I f***ing love Nazem Kadri

 

[MapleLeafistan]

Like my parents... Lots of people came out west from Toronto for high paying oil & gas jobs, so lots of leafs fans as a result.. this will change as the older generation croaks.

Gimme a break. Born in BC...haven't been east of Regina. 2nd gen Leafs fans. Leafs loyalty is passed down.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

It sort of reminds me of Laine's game winner last year

 

[Skate2Stick]

Is Edmonton more a Leafs town than an Oilers town? Tons of Leaf jerseys in the crowd, almost dwarfing.

Many people from Ontario come to Alberta for jobs.

Brossoit had some nice stops but that Martin goal was awful.

For a team down their starting goalie and two of their top three defencemen, Edmonton more than held their own.
