[SillyRabbit]

Can we hit these guys more? McDavid playing 30 freaking minutes, I want him to eat a hit every single shift

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

MUST BUY PRODUCTS

KING OF FLOORS!

 

[Peen]

Edmonton’s been the better team by a wide margin in the first and third

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

no complaints about silovs tonight

 

[M2Beezy]

KING OF FLOORS!

DOWN WITH MONARCHIES

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Man the Bouchard-Ekholm pairing is good but the good thing is the other pairing are just so bad.

 

[mdobbs]

Good bounceback game by silovs

McDavid is playing literally every other shift. The longer this game goes the more tired he gets

 

[Slapshot_11]

Man silovs 90% of time has no idea what is going on

Dude’s a freak, I think he could handle 30-40 minutes a night. Just need to limit his chances as much as we can and counter strike when he takes a breather.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Oilers will never win a Cup by playing McDavid 56 minutes a game.

Good bounceback game by silovs

McDavid is playing literally every other shift. The longer this game goes the more tired he gets

And especially if the series goes to 7. The longer it goes the better I think our chances are

the problem with edmonton is you can’t have a bouchard and a nurse if you don’t have two ekholms

 

[mossey3535]

Skinner looked awful there @mossey3535

It's like he's not good or something...

Actually I do think he's a decent regular season starter. But I'm the playoffs he's had a lot of issues.

If the Oilers played actual defence they could probably get by with him. But their defensive play has been highly overrated from what I can see.

 

[Kryten]

Uh oh Myers time

 

[quat]

Oilers are literally a one line PP merchant team. No depth and trash 5 on 5 with poor goaltending.

How was this team believed to be a cup contender?

Because if they keep getting calls, they have the ability to win games that way. Well, early rounds anyway. You've got to think this is pretty physically taxing.

Thing is, how dangerous would they be if they had good management

 

[Ninebreaker]

Silovs mental strength up there. Not the best goalie in the world but not easy to shake

 

[Bleach Clean]

Edmonton’s been the better team by a wide margin in the first and third

Yes, and the Canucks aren't managing the puck well. Canucks have to steal this one.

 

[ForecheckBackcheck]

Would love for a major sports media person to put together a complete and objective compilation + analysis of all the potential/obvious calls that could/should have been called in a game like this. Assuming it skews strongly in favor of one team (cough, Edmonton), the NHL and its refs should be publicly raked over the coals. Consistent public embarrassment might be the only way to start bringing some consistency to the reffing.

 

[M2Beezy]

What a pointless clear by Zadorov. wtf

 

[LordBacon]

McBaby already at 23 mins.

 

[StickShift]

It's not even like he's been straight awful. He's had some unusually good moments pushing the play with the puck too.

It's just...totally uncharacteristically "high event" and chaotic. And right now, sort of leaning more toward the "bad chaos".

They know that they can rush him into bad decisions.

 

[Vector]

Really need to figure out how to engineer a clean breakout and entry. Once the Oilers are pinned in their zone they don’t know what to do.

 

[ziploc]

Can't get outshot 10-2 in the third and expect to win the period.

 

[SiZ]

McBaby already at 23 mins.

He'll be out there for all his gifted PPs

 

[quat]

Dam, I'd missed that slew foot hit by Kane. That really should be reviewed.
