Are your kids desensitized to raised voices and questionable language?

They’re quite young so I’ve been conditioned to keep it to myself. Every time I shout they tell me I’ve scared them.

I've seen rumblings that the Oilers player under the weather is Ekholm, which would be a massive break. He has been a giant pain in the ass all series long.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I cannot believe Ian Cole is still in the lineup. He has been directly responsible for 8 f***ing goals against. There's nothing he provides that we can't get from Friedman. Juulsen sucks too, but not quite as much.

I kind of it get why. Juulsen arguably looked worse in his one game drawing in and Friedman hasn't played in months. A lot of the goals Cole has let in are mostly just comically bad luck than him directly tipping anything.

Still... please manage his minutes. I don't wanna be terrified like in game 5 when he's still hopping the boards with 5 minutes left.

Memories of Willie Mitchell up the boards right to Havlat in 2009.

The two hits he took is problem the reason IMO, flu is just to hide injury.

The Demko cult, that's who. They parse every move Silovs makes.

THE DEMKO CULT

Someone photoshop Demko's face in that triangle.

It's just so hard to keep the bad in. Impossible really. You're playing with "serenity now" levels of fire IMHO. haha.

THE DEMKO CULT.

Where common sense succumbs to idolatry...

[alternate]

Demko taking shots is new, no?

Silovs has been gr...*drone voice* a pumpkin. Our savior is nigh!

 

[Bobby9]

Tonight is the night for everybody to show up. No shifts off. Smart hockey. Tough hockey. High IQ plays. Relentless effort.

 

[deadinthewater992]

For the love of all that is holy, close this out. Please.

 

[EpochLink]

Rick Tocchet, setting up the mindset for tonight.
Lets do this.

Him attending practice is new. He’s been taking shots for the last 5 or so days.

He has been taking shots earlier this week

Memories of Willie Mitchell up the boards right to Havlat in 2009.

That one play negated years of fine service by him to this team in the minds of some fans. Many blamed him for losing the series "singlehandedly" (a favorite Canuck fan term)...

 

[JAK]

Reporters : Coach, Demko looks ready, will you put him in?
Tocchet : I dunno, ask Ian Clark, I just get blinds and ice bags.
Reporters : Coach, you are the final decision maker though.
Tocchet : I make spaghetti!

 

[crazychimp]

If they are managing minutes just have Juulsen play strictly pk and against the 4th lines and really nail into him that he shouldn’t be going for open ice hits.

Either him or Friedman over Cole who is too slow for this series, if we make it to the next series the Stars are just as fast.

We don't win 2007 vs Dallas without Mitchell.

Shoulda been our captain IMHO...

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Whatever happens, folks, just enjoy it. This run has packed some absolutely incredible moments into a short period of time.

- Joshua's goal in Game 1 vs Nashville
- Boeser's comeback in Game 4 vs Nashville and Lindholm in OT
- Silovs shutout, Myers block, Suter's late GWG in Game 6 in Nashville

- 3rd period 4-1 comeback in Game 1 vs Edmonton
- Boeser chasing Skinner and Zadorov putting Kane into the bench in Game 3 vs Edmonton
- Late comeback in Game 4 in Edmonton
- Miller's clutch winner in Game 5 on Thursday

It's done a lot to erase the absolute despair of the last decade. The Bubble Run doesn't even compare IMO.

 

[JAK]

Farhan : Close out on road is a little different than in the Nashville series.

Tocchet : Yah, we are playing in Edmonton instead of Nashville.

I really hope we can win tonight. Edmonton is going to put everything on the table, it’s going to be extremely hard.

Hope we’re up for the task.
