Post-Game Talk: Oilers survive a scare, make up for Steve Smith 35 years ago

[MoreDifferentS]

Probably the most cathartic win I've had as an Oiler fan (I became a fan in 06)

Probably the most cathartic since the 2-0 and 4-0 Cujo shutouts in games 6 and 7 to come back from 3-1 down to the Avs in '98, especially after losing to them the previous year.

Happy to see the feeling is cross-generational. Not shade I'm serious .

Lol Eric Francis “flames feel a bad bounce cost them the game.”

Really?

There comments after each game are delusional..Oilers never had their best game but still had more high danger chances....last game 1 player beat them...all I see are excuses.

That’s a lot of what ifs

Oilers have been the better team except 2 to 3 periods... and still beat the flames when they never played their best game..weird seeing oil fans downplaying their own team. playoffs are hard you are not going to dominate every period .

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

I don't know why I thought that people would stop hating on the Oilers if we ever stopped being a disapointment. I should have known better

People suck so yeah..

 

[Gregsky99]

Elliot Freidman and Jeff Marek confident this series isn't over and feel Calgary has something left on 32 thoughts. Sure thing, I am sure they along with every other pundit picked Calgary to win the series. Doesn't look like it with the Oilers up 3-1, why should we believe you now lol

They don't want it to be over as like 26/29 of sports analysts would be fired

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Meh, Flames are pretty good and are a tier above DAL for sure. They could have easily been up in this series if Markstrom was average or McDavid was average.

If my aunt had a penis...this is a nothing statement...oil have been the better team this series.

Same here lol. We could win 3 cups in a row and other fans would still manage to find ways to make excuses. Probably along the lines of "oNe mAn tEAm"

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Anyone else still feeling a bit nervous?

The Oilers need to close this shit out. Until then I can’t rest easy.

Definitely. Can't get too far ahead of ourselves, big big game tomorrow.

This shirt really needs to be made.

Is Markstrom bad or are the Oilers top players good? I go with the latter considering McDavid is generational.

 

[sepHF]

the crowd reaction on Kanes empty netter was awesome, all that anxiety to elation. Love it

 

[bone]

If the surgery works for his hip, I believe he's got hip issues, he might be a buylow post buyout candidate this off season.

I don't think they can buyout someone who ends the season on IR, or else that would be kind of sweet to watch him explode in a new town like Bennett.

 

[BlackDogg]

Now if that goal was in overtime....

Now if we could get Mc David to pose on Miley Cyrus' wrecking ball....

Definitely. Need less gloating from everyone, that always bites you in the ass. I'm a huge proponent of not talking! We need the team to have their workboots and be prepared to work on Thursday. It isn't over until the final buzzer. 4th game is the hardest.

 

[xoczar99ox]

NHL game management not calling a penalty on that play and then Kane scores anyway. Seemed like momentary justice. I mean the equivalent of Lionel Messi was hauled down around the box. How do you not call it? Thats the NHL... Worse you've got Michael Jordan out there and the league is allowing clubs to slew foot him into the boards. The same Flames team that has done that to every star player they face.

Maybe one day the NHL will figure out the importance of protecting and preserving their star players. In any sensible league a McDavid would get benefit of doubt in calls.

That was a sneaky slew foot on MCDavid but still a slew foot just the same. The one on McLovin was straight up suspendable i…

Exactly. Especially when you don't have home ice, this isn't an easy series to close out. Lose the next one and the pressure shifts back to us. It's going to take another level to finish this one off. They've exceeded my expectations so far, just hoping it continues.

 

[xoczar99ox]

This is what Smith saw when Anderson fired the puck.

You can thank the ugly Oilers home jersey for Smith losing the puck imo.

 

[McHelpus]

It's really ironic how the Kings roster is more suited for Sutter than the flames. Sutter would have probably finished 1st in the division with a healthy Kings team.

 

[FlameChampion]

Pulju with the series deciding winner.

Gonna laugh if him or Foegele score next game.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Am I dense. Two of the biggest blunders in Oilers playoff history both involved an Oilers player with the surname of Smith. Too funny.

 

[MoontoScott]

Finnish them in 5, no more letting up. We could use the rest and I don’t want to see Smith let in anymore Field Goals

Field goals--I like it.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

I had my oilers pajamas my wife got me for Xmas on. I guess they are lucky pajamas now.

Just saying...since switching to the Sutter/Sloth avy during the first intermission of game 2, the Oilers are outscoring Calgary 13-5 and are 3-0.

My lucky jersey is 3-0!!! We're going streaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OIlers in 5

I’ll take part credit. It was 3-3 when I decided to put my old ass authentic copper and blue home jersey on lol

BY OUR POWERS COMBINED...

 

[North Cole]

Lol we’re only winning because we are making a Vezina candidate look like a sieve…

What does that even mean?

TBF to the casuals out there, it's hard to necessarily blame them if your information comes from the media coverage. The entire pre-game was "CGY this, CGY that" like the Oilers have no say in the game. If you listen to the media they perpetuate the narrative that CGY is losing themselves the game and treat us like a training dummy. Must be their attempt at saving face from picking CGY in 6 or less I guess.

I have a strong feeling we lose tomorrow, but close it out game 6 at home.
Not because of any doom or gloom, just I feel like Calgary has at least one good game in them.
