WCQF Game 1: Sharks @ Oilers | 8:00 MT | SN, NBCS CA

[Tebowz]

dont see how the oilers can recover after that. 4 game sweep incoming

 

[Penske]

Love the woman behind Karlsson

it was a nice salute

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

Same old Oilers. McSigh.

 

[JPeeper]

Sharks dominated from the 2nd period on after getting manhandled in the first.

3 more to go Sharks.

 

[BCShark]

we should be a better team next game when we get our hall of famer back

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

McGryba with the clutch play

 

[fsanford]

Men against boys 2nd period and after.

 

[lightstorm]

Total and utter domination. well done Sharks!

 

[Danish Pastry]

Took the sharks a bit to get going but man they played great... can't expect so many power plays again...

 

[Maplebeasts]

Well Gryba's positioning there was horrendous.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Nope. It's a dive. He got a whack on the shinpads and hit the deck harder than Sonny Liston. I don't care what you'd be more ticked about. I'm talking about the soccerfication of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

A dive is when a player fakes a penalty (ie whipping head back and grabbing your face when someone waves their stick around the shoulders).

Embellishment is when a player overacts to actual contact and/or penalty.

So if the refs callef anyhthing on Meier, its embellishment. Because Lucic did commit a penalty.

And I'm more annoyed by fans blaming the refs for their teams play than anything, but that's just me.

And anti climatic ending. Sharks owned tomight, 44 to 19 shkt advantage on the road.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

McDavid doesn't seem to ever attempt to slow the game down after zone entry. The rush was clearly shut down. Have to adjust.

Yep to the drawing board cause mcdavid is literally going to have someone on him all the way through the nuetral zone even when he doesnt have puck, they have to find a way to get him a lil room

 

[George Binks]

Not surprised, game went pretty much the exact way I thought it would

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I like that the Oilers got stomped from the start of the 2nd but the entire thread seems to be about the reffing.

That's because fans inherently need to make excuses when their team performs poorly.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

My stream is late, so unfortunately, I can't say I was in before the Oilers fans started crying over spilt Melk.

 

[SJSharks408]

Oilers came out flying in the 1st but we came roaring back the rest of the game. Really impressed how we carried the momentum into OT. We may be old and beat up but I'll take that W. Looks like we ain't getting swept.

It's just one game but we flipped the switch. Hoping it stays on.

 

[The Macho King]

Hockey games are 60 (+) minutes. Edmonton will learn that.

 

[M2Beezy]

dont see how the oilers can recover after that. 4 game sweep incoming

Joking right lol

Its a best of 4 bub

Ever heard of Conor frickin Mcdavid???

 

[Dust]

It better not be Tim Peel officiating the 2nd game. This was a really good game for the stretches where he just let them play. Unfortunately he ruined approximately half the game with his nonsense.

 

[winit4pop]

It was more like game management. Oilers were up 2 and the embellishing and soft calls started. Killing PPs takes you out of your game and changes the momentum. Softest call of the game was the slight tug on the gloves leading to the Sharks first goal. Was that really penalty worthy?

 

[WesMcCauley]

Deserved win, dominated after the first period.

 

[George Binks]

Sharks in 4

 

[Teemu Salami]

EDM was just thoroughly dominated.

They were crushed

Blue Oyster Cult?

Battle of California, but perhaps we'll play their music there

 

[DieselBoy]

I liked the old guy in the corner that flipped Karlsson the bird after he scored

I thought that was a woman lol

 

[I am not exposed]

The refs had nothing to do with the shot differential. Edmonton is in real trouble. Deer in headlights when the adrenaline wore off

It seemed that way.
