This x 1000000000000000

I'm nervous as can be, and even if we're up 3-1 will be just as nervous.

there is a new boss in the office, smacking the sharks all over the ice

the sharks only scored 2 goals in 2 periods where the oilers looked as bad as they have all season.

The Oilers have scored 2 even strength goals all series. This is a very tight, evenly matched series. The Sharks are still a team to be respected.

but we also know that when we need a goal we can put Cagguila or Pou out and get us a PK so we can score.

I definitely approve of the wolverine chops. It's a great look for him.

refs for tonight. We might get to play some 5 on 5 again.

Agree with this 100%.

I haven't been able to post the last few days but I have been watching every game moment. This is an incredibly tight series.

Limiting mistakes is the key to winning and the Oilers have done an excellent job.
The keys for me so far have been the Oilers depth at forward (playing Draisaitl at center was a brilliant move) and the solid play (by and large) of the bottom pairing of Nurse and Benning. The bottom pairing was a huge concern for me before the series...its been a surprise so far IMO.

The OIlers just arent giving the Sharks much at all so far. Its a pleasure to watch.

Coffee came out of my nose when I read this.

I'll never make fun of the flameouts again....

 

[Muscles Glasses]

Well that was certainly a thing that happened....

 

[Bangers]

I had the feeling this would be a loss. Sharks were down 2-1, at home, and had been somewhat embarrassed the previous game. Plus, the Oil are still a young team and they were bound to get tired/take the foot off the gas.

I'm kind of glad the team got embarrassed tonight instead of losing a close one. I'm expecting them to come out strong at home next game and wrap the series up in two games.

Garbage game. Move on. Let's **** these ****s up

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Well said.

Why do Flames care? Aren't they about to be swept at home?

Kassian and Talbot stole the show again this game, but whereas Kassian made the pivotal plays last game, this game it was the steady presene of Talbot that made the difference. In hindsight, this was especially true during the first when the Sharks had an onslaught of heavy forechecking and hitting. Draisaitl and McDavid were offensively quiet again. The CBC commentators thought the wingers need to get more speed to make plays with him on the rush. I think Draisaitl should try to take more of a goal-scoring role for a while now if possible. The Oilers are getting better at faceoffs the last few games. Prior to that that had been one of their weakspots. Larsson and Nurse played well. Klefbom was a bit off, which is understandable since there is a decent chance he is playing injured.
