Post-Game Talk: Oilers Win Game 1! Broken sticks and lucky deflections be damned!

[tiger_80]

Contact was at or below the knee, so clipping based on this description. Doubt Parros really has it defined to this level like Shanahan at least tried.

Parros the director of player safety is like Jenna Jameson the director of the center for ethics and reproductive health.

Called out the clipping on the mains:

Trevor Moore Clipping. Suspension incoming?

https://streamin.me/v/e45765c3 Very dangerous play here by Moore. See the angle at the end where it shows Moore clipping Vinny right at the knee causing Vinny’s leg to bend. Clippings at the knee level have been suspended before in the playoffs. Specifically Josh Archibald

forums.hfboards.com

The only time Parros has ever been willing to suspend a player against the Oilers in the playoffs was when he could give a bullshit suspension to Nurse as well to "even it out".

Meanwhile the Oilers have faced supplemental discipline 5 times over the last two playoffs.

You sure she meant The Rock? Maybe she meant Mark Stone?!

Have a great day Tyler.

Lmao. Damn!!! I would take that but the hair has to go

 

[Mav3rick07]

FINALLY this team gives a full 60 minute effort in game one. All of that recent playoff experience sure comes in handy.

Step on their throats. No reason we can't go up 2-0 against these chumps.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

One of the best lines in last nights game...."LA needs to turn this into a street fight to have a chance."

So LA has to injure important players to be competitive. Well, that seems bad.

Vegas did it last playoffs. Turned the series in their favor.

Draisaitl with meagre two points looks like a whiny wimpy kid compared to the superman Hyman! Also Iglesias off to a great start. Brown on the other hand...

Truthfully, I wasn't impressed with Draisaitl despite the two points. He got nothing done at ES.

He probably should’ve had an assist in the first period when he fed Nuge on a 2 on 1

I mean he had some nice feeds, but his shooters weren't getting the puck into the back of the net

Not great ES but how can you say you weren’t impressed. PP or not that assist was unreal and that snipe on the game winner was unbelievable. Few players in the league can do that.

I don't even know about that. He was physical, he made a ton of plays, his line just couldn't find finish 5 on 5, they won their match up, which is huge, imo.

Stoked to chill and watch another night of playoffs with no stress, watch a Jays team that is actually winning and get ready for tomorrow

Wow Demko questionable for the series. That's quite the blow to the Canucks

Fair enough. With his reputation as a "playoff beast," I just expected more I guess. Fortunately, the McDavid-Hyman show took over in Game 1. Hopefully he brings it in Game 2.

Good that Vinny is good. I thought he played well.

LA's forecheck did not like him, he was hard on them all night.

 

[On The Prowl]

I don't understand how anyone can look at Draisaitl's playoff stats over his career and think it makes any sense to say one negative thing about him.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Lots of bending over in those blue tights though

Some of those hamhocks didn't look Grade A. just saying, just jk.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I agree. He also still needs to be keyed in on at all times which can take some focus off of McDavids line. I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes off next game.

He also set up nuge for a goal Stortini could have scored haha.

I'm still shocked that didn't go in. The Oilers scored 7 and could have close to 10 with a couple of the missed open nets lol.

Haha, was wondering if anyone else would comment on that. Usually it's quite a pleasant site

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Skinner really was great.
Both of those goals against were the fault of Ceci and Nurse. All Nurse has to do is lift his skate.
He is such a dummy.
I dont know wtf Ceci was trying to do...lol

I'm a little more charitable. Hockey is a high speed game of mistakes with high chaos and randomness. Ceci reaction time is like a second from 'oh shit broken stick' to reacting to it. His reaction followed his brain which was directing a safe, controlled cross ice pass to d-partner. Stick breaks, opposing forward closing, and impulse and reflex takes over. Bad break following a dumb luck puck off Nurse's foot. The game's always easier and slower from our cozy vantage points.

Ceci played a pretty solid game including amping up some physicality.

Upside is this bad luck happened winding down a dominant win. Perhaps Ceci (and fellow defenders) check their sticks next time they are in a critical moment situation and mitigate one area of risk.

 

[Messrules11]

Would love some tidbits to be posted here for us to laugh at

I think my favourite was

McDavid 5 assists
The best defence is a good golf course

Thats a totally fair take on both of those plays.
Ceci was definitely in panic mode after a his stick shattered and its a shame because he played a strong game.

On the Nurse own goal he had time on that play to properly react. That was a floater into the slot by PLD. Nurse had time to either lift his foot or turn his foot and stop the puck.

That was a lazy reaction by Nurse. Most players, even young players, will at least try to lift a leg and get out of the way.

Nurse is too good to move. Puck can move for Nurse.
