Post-Game Talk: Oilers 6, Maple Leafs 4

[Coffey]

Yea, get the f*** out of here.

The team lurching towards some modicum of respectability after all this time doesn't undo the past years of incompetence or give McDavid the first few years of his career back. Point is, if the team does turn it around at long last, you won't hear any more of these takes.

I didn't say that it does. Just defending the position that his comments are simply brainless regurgitated dreck. Poorly timed as well.

 

[Konami McDavid]

Huchinson: Where’d he go?

Rielly: WHERE DID WHOOOO GOOOOO???

Reilly: And hes laughing at us on the radio, hes laughing at us

McDavid: no, that's me laughing D*#K head

Bruce Arthur is dumb as ****, just a stupid person who gets paid to talk about a sport he knows little about. TSN lets him on their free agency show in July for unknown reasons. A couple years ago he was wondering why the Flames wouldn't offer sheet Draisaitl for $10M, unaware they had nowhere near the cap space or draft picks to actually do it. On last year's show he dumped on the Oilers and said the Condors had a bad season.

Arthur is a bitter little life long Oiler hater who is upset he is irrelevant now that he’s been punted from TSN and nobody reads the National Post anymore.

I mean, when you can drive Oilers fans into a frenzy of clicks and comments with simple regurgitated dreck, why try harder?

And watching McDavid drive Leaf fans into a frenzy of delusions with a simple deke around a pylon of a defenseman is even better.

 

[Paralyzer]

Then maybe the team should stop wasting McDavid, IDK.

And the Leafs should stop wasting every player since 1967

I’m so happy someone got that reference, I thought it may have been too obscure lol.

Expected them to lose tbh. Team is way too inconsistent. Great win though. Just waiting to see if they make the playoffs.

 

[Garbo Man]

LOL I hate the Leafs, dude. But you can't argue they've been a more successful franchise over the last five years.

Sure they've made the playoffs but how many Playoff series have they won since McDavid was drafted?

 

[McBeastMode]

Endless finger wag..

IIRC, The Oilers won more playoff series than the Leafs, Flames or Canucks did, combined.

Jeff Blair from Writers Bloc on Sportsnet is delusional. “The lacrosse goals are better goal of the year candidates than last nights McDavid effort”! Are you kidding. Those goals and the between the legs goals(Tkachuk) shouldn’t rank close. You see kids from PeeWee to IIHF successfully duplicating those plays. Name a player in hockey that can float thru the slot with a top 25 dman between him and the net, no look the situation and find himself behind said dman and still have the skill to roof it on the goalie. The 0 to 60 speed, the skill and the vision are unique. I’ll wait for another player to duplicate the effort before I question whether this is not the goal of the year.

Bingo. The skill required to do what McDavid did is beyond virtually every player in the NHL.

Oilers beat the Leafs and half of this thread is about .. Bruce Arthur. I guess what he was trying to achieve worked lol.

Hook, line and sinker.

I just heard a goof on Hockey Central (Not Marek) say that mcDavid goal was kind of like basketball.

"Ya knowm he beats Reilly and Reilly is just like you know what, he is already gone I'm just going to let him go. He just let him lay it in"

Armstrong was pretty choked up after the game I think - thought about it for 21 hrs and now he was coming to Oh reilly's defense saying "he just came off the bench and his gap was a bit screwed up". lol

Why is there so many moles in here during the day?

Um.....let’s see....the guy who made it about Bruce Arthur was the guy who was defending his position ad nauseum.
