Here's how you call a game...

That and for no reason MICKEY Anderson

Well that's certainly different.

If we lose I'm blaming this video, that was awful.

I don’t think we lose but yeah that karaoke mishap is awful cringe and I didn’t make it past 10 seconds

Incredibly, there are only two instances of a player tallying more than 5 assists in a playoff game. The players in question have initials W.G. and M.L. Guess the two players.

Spoiler: Answer

If you guessed Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux... you'd be half correct.

The actual answer is Wayne Gretzky and Mikko Leinonen.

The real shocker here is that it isn't another one of those stats where it's only been done by two players. Once by Lemieux and 29 times by Gretzky.

Just win boys. Just win.

Looks like there was some UFC at the last watch party lol

What?
Gretzky hasnt done 6+ assists 29 times.

 

[McBeastMode]

Gretzky hasnt done 6+ assists 29 times.

That seemed a bit high...
He had 5 assists once and 6 assist's once..

And yet this accomplishment didn’t make it into the GDT poll, for shame.

Thank fuk, I see Drake sporting a Leafs jersey. Didn’t want him wearing Oilers jersey last year. GTFO Drake

Ok, I know studies suggest face-offs are not meaningful.

But I want a repeat of Monday's 55.6% face-off win rate against a team that rolls out Kopitar and Danault. Control the dot and control the puck possession. Oil 3 for 4 PP was assisted with strong face-off win results led by Draisaitl's redonculous 62.5% (and McDavid's 53.8%).

Generally not a fan of these videos. But she has an amazing voice and range.

Pasta-nucks trying to hump the Leafs out of the playoff existence.

What kind of idiot thinks winning faceoffs isn't meaningful?

I agree I have nothing against her voice. But it's the playoffs, not a musical lol.

It was becoming a generalized belief within some advanced stats circles. However situational face-off considerations have been looked with more context than a binary win-lose outcome. Winning Isn’t Everything – A contextual analysis of hockey face-offs

Point remains let's beat them handily again right from the puck drop. Feed the puck possession that drives Oil success.

 

[oobga]

I need to surround myself with excellence. Time to buy some California closets.

 

[tardigrade81]

Is one of them a Kings fan?

Probably best to ask permission first though.

Lettuce

They need to shellshock Cam in the first period, chase him all the way to the washroom.

 

[tiger_80]

Bertuzzi and Domi against Marchand. It's an asshole parade in Toronto.

Yup puck possession is a big part of Edmonton's defensive success. They aren't a team that can play turtle defence like Nashville. Their ability to defend in their own zone has improved, but their real strength comes from their puck possession time and back checks in the neutral zone. They have a lot of good players who are good at disrupting and stripping guys on the back check. McLeod is one of the best on the team at that.

Ya, I love it when a millionaire tells me it will fit my budget too.
