Series Discussion: OOT Playoff series Thread (West: Ducks/Preds, East: Pens/Sens)

[Mobiandi]

Sharks could very well go back to San Jose up 2-0. Talbot was the only one who showed up tonight

 

[Flames Fanatic]

I too was pretty worried after that first but wow, Sharks just completely took over and shut them down.

 

[Volica]

I said it on the main board, don't sleep on the Sharks. They may have struggled down the stretch in the regular season; but that's a team that has a tremendous amount of playoff experience. Edmonton's two best players had combined a few minutes of experience between the two (Talbot and McDavid).

It's the same reason the Flames will be in tough against the Ducks. It's a ridiculously experienced team against one without much experience. But that's why you bring in guys like Brouwer and Versteeg; to help guide this group to the next level. If the Flames win this series, I think you see a shift in the Pacific starting next year.

Blues win, Bruins win, Oilers lose, Condors lose, Heat get an OT point. All in all it was a pretty good night.

Was thrilled to see the Sharks win that game. Oilers could still win the series, but they should be considered the underdog. Sharks are just a great playoff team nowadays.

That series reminds me a lot of the Jets/Ducks series two years ago. Jets were everyone's trendy upset pick, just like everyone and their dog is picking the Oilers to reach the third round.

Experience is a colossal factor. The Oilers crumpled pretty quickly once the Sharks turned up the heat in the second, Edmonton's young players are simply not used to that pace.

It also helps that Vlasic played some of the best hockey I've ever seen him play.

I just want to point out that dogs also lick their own buttholes.

Would have preferred a Sens win and a Habs win (cause **** the Rags) but for the most part I can't complain too much last night.

Lets go Caps and Flames tonight. Don't really care who wins out of Hawks-Preds.

Which is saying something considering how amazing he is. He'll have to keep that up to keep shutting down McDavid.

McAvoy looked pretty good for Boston last night. We should be able to pick him up in a couple years for picks once they run him out of town.

 

[tmurfin]

Hmm.. Judging by Facebook yesterday morning, I could've swore the Oilers had a playoff game last night? But judging by late last night and this morning, maybe I was wrong




(I have an unhealthy amount of Oilers fans on my friends list)

Reminds me of a young Brian McCabe.

Amdersen whiffed like he did on Ferland last year

 

[Mobiandi]

Really hope the Sharks blow out the Oilers tomorrow after having to endure that farce of a game

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

The Rags/Habs game is pretty entertaining.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Plekanec!!!! Go 'abs

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Man the Rangers have forgotten how to hockey.

 

[Mobiandi]

Well that Rangers late choke makes me feel a bit better about the Flames game last night. Here's hoping there's a Sharks win tonight too
