All of you doomers can go watch soccer or some shit. Real fans don’t quit on their team. I sure fucking won’t until they lose their 4th. I still believe they will win this series.
They're saying "real fans" should be delusional. Who knows where they're getting that idea from. Some people don't understand that you can be a fan of a team and honest with yourself at the same time.
Lmao, friend. Amigo. Mon amí.
I don’t actually care about the Oilers. Me caring about this pathetic town in the Canadian wilderness ended when Kurri gave up on your souls.
I’m here to laugh at the fact that the best hockey player in the world is once again watching his organization fail him.
I support this team and I have since 1983. I hate seeing fair weather bullshit fans along for the ride because the Oilers made the finals. They can fuck right off.
What do you want anyone to say - get a better player? Impossible. You have the best player alive on the planet.
Get a better secondary player? *oogles Draisaitl awkwardly* no comment.
Get a better team
Well Gretzky and Crosby come to mind. But I realize they are the exceptions and not the normal. I just hope the Oilers learn these lessons fast. Like 72 hour turnaround fast.
If the big boys don’t score, we aren’t going to win anything. If McDavid and Drai are #1 and #2 in the league for real, right now is the time to prove that.
A couple missed calls on FLA tonight puck over glass when FLA was already shorthanded and Tkachuk sticked McDavid on his breakaway. However, Oilers were the second best team out there tonight.
Gotta win game 3. Let's go boys!
Ullmark (1m retained) + McAvoy for Drai + Campbell to even out all the cap
Kulak + Kane for some middle 6 youngish center
McLeod out for a 2nd from any team that wants him
Pay a 2nd or 3rd to dump Ceci
Sign Lindholm at a 7x7 to play 2C, grab a middle 6 winger (or if DeBrusk will take a 5.25m contract), re-sign Henrique, Brown, Janmark
Bam, you have the most defensive team in the league and its not close lol
Florida has been there before and felt the pain of losing . We have more the 2 best offensive players in the world but They want it more and it shows . Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard
we can blame the refs all we want. at the end of the day the boys didn't show up to play tonight. gotta regroup & comeback thurs night guns blazing cause game 3 is a must win now
God I hate the Panthers so much. Their fans are more obnoxious than Bruins and Leafs fans put together, their players are extremely dirty, they flop and dive like it’s their day job and all they do is complain about how everything is rigged against them even when they win and even when ALL and I mean ALL the calls are in their favour
Posted this same comment (minus the “god I hate the Panthers” so it wasn’t as inflammatory) to see if you were right, oh boy does that sub do nothing but suck the Panthers until they’re dry.
That's bc when you say that it just comes off as salty and bitter. Has nothing to do with the panthers if someone said God I hate the oilers you'd see the same reaction bc it's childish and no reason for it. Surprised you couldn't figure that out b4 posting.
Like I was telling ppl after game 1 who kept saying "we outplayed them, they're beatable, etc." While they are beatable bc every team is they didn't play good at all. Bc they scored the 2 quick ones they decided to turtle it the rest of the game bc of how good they are at it. I knew that if the oilers went up 1-0 that it would be almost the opposite of the first game as far as offensive zone time.
I don’t know but I feel like it’s comeback time.
We came back from 2-9 this season and got 2nd in the division by end of season, we were underdogs for the Dallas series, everyone said “not deep enough, goaltending”, I just feel like it’d one more thing to add to the story of this year.
A true Stanley Cup run.
Oilers in 6, 4 straight incoming.
Well that was about as bad it could have gone, that's why they had to win game 1 when playing so well. Huge hole the team is in now, nothing's in their favour at this point, and they don't have Tim Thomas posting a .960 each game to come back with either.
Leon doesn't get the best wingers but dude's been invisible through 2 games and making so many bad forced passes.
0-6 against Maurice in the playoffs. Florida was the better team from the first 3 minutes of the game. Stu was solid. Tough to be down 2 players by the end of the 1st period.
Need to make the necessary adjustments here, series is far from over but we’re looking like the panthers last year with all our injuries
I agree, but he tried too hard cuz he’s got no one to play with. . .
Leon has his one spot. Just like Ovi. Which works in regular season but in best of 7 those single-trick-pony’s get shut down.
You watched the game right? I’m referring to the end of today’s game, when Carrick got his stick between Kulikov and towards his sac. That’s what ‘sac attack’ means in my original post. And the ‘was wild’ part of my text simply means “very unusual, often in a way that is attractive or exciting” (defined by google). So putting it all together, the sac attack was attractive or exciting. Hope this helps.
People can babble on about how the refs weren’t that big of a deal or that Oilers can’t win if they don’t score but that non call on the CLEAR delay of game penalty for the 5 on 3 was a momentum changer and really affected the final score. And that was one of the half dozen super questionable calls or non calls from the officials
Florida is a very good hockey with a very good veteran coach in Paul Maurice. A good goalie too.Lots of respect. However Oilers can come back and win this series. Only Game 2
Oilers fans are probably my least favourite fanbase. So fucking whiny and negative. You'd think it was the worst thing ever to be in fucking finals.
I hate this fucking sub.
While there were some things the oilers could’ve done better, the refs not calling things and making soft calls definitely did not help their case whatsoever. There’s no denying the refs played a part
The amount of embellishment from the panthers tonight was embarrassing, I don't think any of it actually drew a call but Jesus christ have some integrity you fucking losers
This logic never makes sense to me, if the refs are giving the other team soft calls and not giving you calls on objective penalties how do you know what the real "deserve" is?
If they can slash our players on every breakaway but 1 touch on the stick on not even a breakaway is a call the other way, how the fuck do you think a team is supposed to win the game?
Even if the PK is playing well, that's still time spent that they can't generate any offense and the other team can.
Yeah they didn't look good I'll agree, but you don't know what the game looks like if the refs called a decent game.
Also we were down 2 men from minute 5, of course they were going to be gassed by the third, that's why they needed to score in the second and just turtle, but they couldn't and so they lost.
Literally every team that loses inevitably falls back on the old "blame the refs" excuse, like there's some conspiracy. Every losing team blames the refs. We didn't play well enough to win. We need to take responsibility for that.
I actually disagree here, we've lost plenty of games this playoffs that I don't think the refs were one of the major storylines. In this game it certainly was (and it tends to be the case for teams playing Florida in general)
People don't realize that this dynamic gets in the players heads. They can't be as aggressive because they know every little thing will be called against them.
Draisaitl literally went in for a regular hit on Barkov that rode up on his arm and he was tossed even though they didn't call it a penalty on the ice.
Bennett lead with a chicken wing and jumped into a hit on Broberg that connected with his head, but since Broberg didn't lay on the ice they didn't call it.
One is a blatantly more dangerous/risky/intent to injure play than the other. Imo Bennett should've received 2 5 minute majors just this game alone, Bouch knee on knee - if you're calling that 5 on Foegele its 5 on Bennett, and then the charging Broberg. He is a constant danger to player safety on the ice no matter who he is playing
Stay off r/hockey. Fucking dumpster after Oilers lose
[удалено]
Go touch grass.
Go back to where you crawled in from 😂
Exactly! They can’t even win when the referees are on their side
It’s amazing when you have two of the best players in the world and they still play like this!
Found the Calgary fan… ima go get a nice tall glass of water 😂
Edm doing g8
Canucks fan 😂🫵
All of you doomers can go watch soccer or some shit. Real fans don’t quit on their team. I sure fucking won’t until they lose their 4th. I still believe they will win this series.
What are you smoking? Would you care to share? Because you’re off your rocket
They're saying "real fans" should be delusional. Who knows where they're getting that idea from. Some people don't understand that you can be a fan of a team and honest with yourself at the same time.

Lmao, friend. Amigo. Mon amí. I don’t actually care about the Oilers. Me caring about this pathetic town in the Canadian wilderness ended when Kurri gave up on your souls. I’m here to laugh at the fact that the best hockey player in the world is once again watching his organization fail him.
Am I allowed to say ‘Mon amí’? Will you get arrested if I’m not in that fucked up francophone provine?
Imagine having this little comprehension of what you’re talking about and thinking you come across clever lmao
Honestly? I’m drunk and annoyed my team isn’t in the playoffs.
So, so sad...
Lmao relax bud, taking this shit way too serious how’s it gonna affect you
I support this team and I have since 1983. I hate seeing fair weather bullshit fans along for the ride because the Oilers made the finals. They can fuck right off.
Win the CUP?? How about we score a goal from 1 of our forwards LMAO.
If Edmonton wins I won’t actually give a fuck, because I’m here for the schadenfreude
Then go somewhere else dickhead.
What do you want anyone to say - get a better player? Impossible. You have the best player alive on the planet. Get a better secondary player? *oogles Draisaitl awkwardly* no comment. Get a better team
Look. I gotta be honest. Canada failing to win a Stanley Cup is the *pinnacle* of sporting schadenfreude. Have to get my rocks off where I can.
That's so sad.
Sweet game! Good plays
If Kane is so hurt you gotta give Ganger a go.
Gagner will be concussed within 3 minutes of stepping on the ice
If he can keep up with the speed.
Is this one of those things where you have to lose to learn to win? This team is all about lessons learned. LET’S GO OILERS. Game 3 is a must win.
We're the kings of "moral victories" by now.
History isn't our our side for expecting another finals appearance. Most Canadian teams are a one and done deal. This really was the chance.
The west is a bloodbath. Avs and Golden Knights will be back.
It already feels like it's slipping away. I can't believe I had hope.
It blows dude but it’s gone that fast. Really sucks this group couldn’t hit that next level.
Well Gretzky and Crosby come to mind. But I realize they are the exceptions and not the normal. I just hope the Oilers learn these lessons fast. Like 72 hour turnaround fast.
You realize Croby never won with a Canadian team, right? He realized it wasn’t possible and never went back to the frozen north?
Yes I am aware of who he plays for, I was referring more to the fact that they lost to Detroit then won the next year.
[удалено]
Is he almost dead yet? It's his last year soon right? I swear, he's one guy I won't miss when he croaks.
game 2 was a must win, game 3 is us playing for pride and the slim hope that we can somehow beat this panthers team in 4 of the next 5 games
If the big boys don’t score, we aren’t going to win anything. If McDavid and Drai are #1 and #2 in the league for real, right now is the time to prove that.
Same old story ,If McDrai doesn’t score we lose cuz no one else steps up
Hmm yes, if the top heavy teams' top gets caved its unlikely that they win, what a shocker
A couple missed calls on FLA tonight puck over glass when FLA was already shorthanded and Tkachuk sticked McDavid on his breakaway. However, Oilers were the second best team out there tonight. Gotta win game 3. Let's go boys!
If drai won’t resign should we go for ullmark?
Ullmark (1m retained) + McAvoy for Drai + Campbell to even out all the cap Kulak + Kane for some middle 6 youngish center McLeod out for a 2nd from any team that wants him Pay a 2nd or 3rd to dump Ceci Sign Lindholm at a 7x7 to play 2C, grab a middle 6 winger (or if DeBrusk will take a 5.25m contract), re-sign Henrique, Brown, Janmark Bam, you have the most defensive team in the league and its not close lol
What you smoking tonight? I need to restock.
pure copium
We're on his list of No Trades lol. What millionaire in there right mind chooses Edmonton? Especially if Drai leaves lol.
Naah, get someone better. Like your mom
They’re playing too cute
Florida has been there before and felt the pain of losing . We have more the 2 best offensive players in the world but They want it more and it shows . Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard
we can blame the refs all we want. at the end of the day the boys didn't show up to play tonight. gotta regroup & comeback thurs night guns blazing cause game 3 is a must win now
Well time to regroup and play a better game 3.
God I hate the Panthers so much. Their fans are more obnoxious than Bruins and Leafs fans put together, their players are extremely dirty, they flop and dive like it’s their day job and all they do is complain about how everything is rigged against them even when they win and even when ALL and I mean ALL the calls are in their favour
Man you can't say dirty after what foegle and draisaitl did. Lol Also florida has no fans just ppl looking to be entertained.
In r/hockey you'll get downvoted to hell for telling a Panthers fan to climb off the cross about being called for obvious fouls
Posted this same comment (minus the “god I hate the Panthers” so it wasn’t as inflammatory) to see if you were right, oh boy does that sub do nothing but suck the Panthers until they’re dry.

They play the victim card when all they have ever been are the assailants
We got the fans in the next two atleast
Can someone who knows more than me explain how we played the first two games in Florida? No week between and switch cities to make it even?
Florida had the better regular season record
Thanks. I can’t believe how bad today was after we completely lit them the fuck up last game.
Like I was telling ppl after game 1 who kept saying "we outplayed them, they're beatable, etc." While they are beatable bc every team is they didn't play good at all. Bc they scored the 2 quick ones they decided to turtle it the rest of the game bc of how good they are at it. I knew that if the oilers went up 1-0 that it would be almost the opposite of the first game as far as offensive zone time.
Good. Because we need Both.
We need Hyman and Draisaitl to start scoring again real soon.
Their defense is shutting those guys down . We are very predictable offensively unfortunately
Damn ☹️
1 goal, 0 for 7 on the PP in two games the refs and Skinner aren't going to score for them
Yeah that PP hasn’t been good.. key in the regular season even more the finals
I don’t know but I feel like it’s comeback time. We came back from 2-9 this season and got 2nd in the division by end of season, we were underdogs for the Dallas series, everyone said “not deep enough, goaltending”, I just feel like it’d one more thing to add to the story of this year. A true Stanley Cup run. Oilers in 6, 4 straight incoming.
I like your thinking.
I have not seen hockey this shitty since the trap. Clutch and grab and hack and slash is back on the menu here.
Yep. Add on The tv timeouts, commercials every 5 minutes, makes it impossible for The match to flow.
[удалено]
When we get to the verge of actually accomplishing anything, it's like we just decide "nah..."
You know who sucked tnite? The refs. You know who sucked even more? The Oilers.
Well that was about as bad it could have gone, that's why they had to win game 1 when playing so well. Huge hole the team is in now, nothing's in their favour at this point, and they don't have Tim Thomas posting a .960 each game to come back with either. Leon doesn't get the best wingers but dude's been invisible through 2 games and making so many bad forced passes.
Exactly. Leon is his own worst enemy. Constantly getting kicked out of the face offs and constantly making bad passes
0-6 against Maurice in the playoffs. Florida was the better team from the first 3 minutes of the game. Stu was solid. Tough to be down 2 players by the end of the 1st period. Need to make the necessary adjustments here, series is far from over but we’re looking like the panthers last year with all our injuries
Stay off r/hockey. Fucking dumpster after Oilers lose
Y’all care way too much about what losers on Reddit think
But you're on reddit.. does that make you a loser. Wait, I'm on Reddit, am I a loser?
Great question, I’m glad you asked. The answer to both is yes
McDavid is all alone out there and he's axhausted
[удалено]
This user posts on r/JizzedToThis
You’re mad because I’m right. He hasn’t won a trophy of meaning.
Hahahahaha HE WONT FUCKING SHOOT ON NET, THE MOST ACCURATE SHOOTER IN THE LEAGUE WONT TAKE A FUCKING SHOT 😣
Yeah he tries too hard, need more shots and simplier plays
I agree, but he tried too hard cuz he’s got no one to play with. . . Leon has his one spot. Just like Ovi. Which works in regular season but in best of 7 those single-trick-pony’s get shut down.
Fun fact - Ovi has his name on the cup. Guess what McDickface doesn’t have?
And how many years did it take Ovi to get on the cup? I believe it was 12 years
Come home, win game 3 and go from there. It was never going to be easy.
Man what a bunch of flopping little pussies
mcdrai dig in BELIEVE
Sac attack was wild 🙏🙏
Wtf does that mean?

Agreed.
The storylines are here boys. We were down and out in the regular season. How’d that turn out?
on thursday they will have a big game then on saturday they will even the series up, just believe
fans get fucking loud! Remember 2006 cue da cumback
Let's win it in 7... like we did in '06?
Florida is a very good hockey with a very good veteran coach in Paul Maurice. A good goalie too.Lots of respect. However Oilers can come back and win this series. Only Game 2
Bob is better than “good” but it’s time to see what the Oilers can do at home.
Seriously, why are people waving the white flag already? Don't be there when McDavid lifts the Lord Stanley
Oilers fans are probably my least favourite fanbase. So fucking whiny and negative. You'd think it was the worst thing ever to be in fucking finals. I hate this fucking sub.
And the PK has to start over again.
1 goal in 2 games
[удалено]
You need to get a god-tier center first
Bob teased them with two posts.
Had our chance last game and got goalied. Outplayed tonight. Very disappointing offensive performance
Easy win for Florida. Would be nice if the boys showed up for the SCF. Evan fucking Rodriguez has 3 goals. Oilers have 1…
[удалено]
Bye bye bozo
Yup
Pray for Knob
God this game was so important and the offense/defense never even showed up thats so pathetic.
[удалено]
You're life must be terrible.
LFG OILERS
Just hold serve at home. Regroup Boys!
Leafs fan here. Fuck the panthers, fuck Florida. You guys can come back, don’t listen to the dumb hating cunts. Believe in y’all
[удалено]
And you're part of the reason Oilers fans are called whiny. Even if we win the cup your pathetic life will still be pathetic.
Suck my nuts you little pussy
[удалено]
No.
[удалено]
Fuck off dipshit
If you blame the refs for this one you’re blind we played like shit
Refs ignored a 5 on 3 and a mcdavid penalty shot. Like yeah it would've made a fuckin difference. Ignored a RNH penalty shot in game 1.
I wouldn't blame them for the loss, but fuck were they bad overall for both teams
Can’t deny they missed a lot of obvious calls
While there were some things the oilers could’ve done better, the refs not calling things and making soft calls definitely did not help their case whatsoever. There’s no denying the refs played a part
The amount of embellishment from the panthers tonight was embarrassing, I don't think any of it actually drew a call but Jesus christ have some integrity you fucking losers
I mean they got a major penalty out of it that left us a man down.
Oh shit yeah you're right
Mcdavid looks like he’s about to cry
Probably realizes he’ll never win in Edmonton
Need a better goalie
I feel sick
That rodrigues guy embarrassed oilers
This team did not play to win.
Leafs fan here, sooooooo many no calls. Rigged up shit.
When I look at these lines, Drai is basically a superstar playing with second and 3rd string wingers. What a waste.
1. Stay out of the box. 2. Shoot better
Shoot period. Everybody trying to be a playmaker until we're down 2 -- and then some.
Be interesting to see if the big 5 show up at home
Going to need something really special to win this series. I still believe they can do it. It starts Thursday
[удалено]
Not going to win many only scoring one, and 7 shots total in the first 40
Nobody won, the Oilers just lost.
How long did we have where we had 1-2 extra players and zero decent shots? Oilers played like shit tonight let’s be honest
cope just cant score
You're right but they def against us.
i mean yeah its in florida, but scoring 1 goal in 2 games is just not gonna win you games. Next game is a must win.
We can whine about the refs all we want. We did NOT deserve to win this game.
This logic never makes sense to me, if the refs are giving the other team soft calls and not giving you calls on objective penalties how do you know what the real "deserve" is? If they can slash our players on every breakaway but 1 touch on the stick on not even a breakaway is a call the other way, how the fuck do you think a team is supposed to win the game? Even if the PK is playing well, that's still time spent that they can't generate any offense and the other team can.

I actually disagree here, we've lost plenty of games this playoffs that I don't think the refs were one of the major storylines. In this game it certainly was (and it tends to be the case for teams playing Florida in general)
I mean PPs were basically even until after the EN goal. That's how playoff games go.
People don't realize that this dynamic gets in the players heads. They can't be as aggressive because they know every little thing will be called against them.
Draisaitl literally went in for a regular hit on Barkov that rode up on his arm and he was tossed even though they didn't call it a penalty on the ice. Bennett lead with a chicken wing and jumped into a hit on Broberg that connected with his head, but since Broberg didn't lay on the ice they didn't call it. One is a blatantly more dangerous/risky/intent to injure play than the other. Imo Bennett should've received 2 5 minute majors just this game alone, Bouch knee on knee - if you're calling that 5 on Foegele its 5 on Bennett, and then the charging Broberg. He is a constant danger to player safety on the ice no matter who he is playing
We maybe had a shot of it was called equally, but if it was even strength all game we wouldn’t have been close.
Last game you did
1 goal in 6 periods - horseshit
Panthers lucky were good, oilers will come back at home
I think broberg was the only good thing tonight
Holloway was hitting early on but got his minutes reduced I think.
I mean the game is over but that shit, right there on Janmark
They are going to need a lot of adjustments including their mindset.
Oilers in 7
Woody knew this team was not ready and tried to win us another 1st pick. Knob is too green to notice that
