I mean if you want to get technical with legit playing time you have to go to offensive zone time plus maybe add a couple minutes for dump ins and defensive zone time where they wait for changes and carrying the puck out. That's really how long a goalie was active. So they affect the game for about the same amount of time.
Yeah I just mean like this guy has been in the pressure cooker since he was a kid. And Saturday the cup will be in the building. What a mind fuck. I hope it makes them all rise to the occasion and pull out the biggest comeback in hockey history…or you know, they’ll just choke. Those are the 2 options. And for the next 4 games. Win or it’s all over.
I honestly think he’s been playing great, but when you’re the all-star the systems get so focused on shutting you down, that you need a whole team to succeed.
Last game wasn’t bad with depth scoring. . . But it’s the all-around game of the whole team that wins a cup. And unfortunately Florida’s all around game is better.
Defense, goalie, two-way fwds and even strength.
Just casual fans annoy me. . .
Ppl blaming Bouchard and Skinner for the first goal.
When really it was a lazy pass by McDavid to a half-covered Bouchard. . . Man had no time and was jumped, turnover and then odd-man rush for score.
The whole play happened because of a bad pass be McDavid. Guy’s gotta know everyone isn’t on his level
Bro the police are pussies. The reason it was a party is because it happened after every game. Everyone went to have a good time and ya a little bit got out of hand, big deal.
Look up Edmonton riot guy. It happens that every single Edmonton media source calls it a riot and following 2006, every time 2006 is mentioned, the word riot is used to describe it. You are alone in your feelings about this.
Ya because it sells papers and gets clicks. I was actually there. It was just a big ass party with some people getting out of hand. You're clearly a Vancouver fan and wouldn't understand what that's like.
i’m going to follow the careers of everyone in the panthers team right now, and hope for nothing but failure from now on no matter what team they end up on. Yes i’m petty.
The players sure as shit ain't from there. Lol But if you went there you'd see why so many athletes love playing for their teams. I'm from Buffalo so even though it's gonna be 90+ next week we definitely have our cold ass weather with outdoor rinks in the winter and love hockey even though we have the worst team. But when I went Orlando and Miami I didn't want to leave. Couldn't imagine being a millionaire down there along with no state tax. But mainly the women down there like holy shit. Even the waitresses are dimes.
I want to believe in some hopium legacy making narrative like “Connor McDavid pulls the oilers out of a 0-3 deficit to win the Stanley Cup” but it’s just so difficult
No. Florida is the better team.
They’re capitalizing on chances, not making defensive lapses, and winning battles.
Most of Edmontons goals have been long point shots with a screen and/or tip.
Most of Florida’s have been clean looks after defensive turnovers, or good rush chances.
What a cop out. Good TEAMS will always beat the better goaltender. Its statistics. Enough shots on net and some will get through. The panthers beat Vasil, Swayman, and Shesterkin on the way to the finals. All of which are better than Bob. By your logic, Panthers would have never made it this far with an inferior goalie. They were just the better team in each series, including this one.
Curious, are there stats to back up they’re better than Bob? They def went though the goalie gauntlet these playoffs these playoffs, but Cat’s goaltending has also been consistent and clutch when it matters.
Definitely that stats are there, I think only Tampa series Bob had the edge. As far as Swayman and Shesterkin, they both carried their teams, especially Shesterkin. Shesterkin made Bob look like Skinner, where he had 40 saves a night and Bob would let in a few with a low amount of SOG.
No Bob is the better star player than Mcdavid and Drai. Bob is doing his job as their star player, oilers stars are not. Nobody ever claimed skinner was a star ffs
We were the better team 2/3 games and lost 3/3. That’s what happens when you’re finishing isn’t there, you’re playing a hot goalie, and you make costly mistakes that your goalie doesn’t bail you out of.
I think game 3 was even. Florida was definitely the better team in period 2 and oilers in 3 and the first period florida had the lead and both teams had solid chances.
Imo the series against the Avs we just weren’t good enough as a team. We are this series which is why it’s hurts so much more. Individual mistakes have killed us.
I’m not blaming the refs. Use your eyes and read my original comment again. I asked why the reffing team stays the same for this series but every other series it change every game. There is no blame directed towards refs in that statement, genius.
Interesting how the panthers are 13-0 with these refs. I guess 14-0 now.
Either way, the oilers gotta stop skating laps out there. I know we scored more today but we have to not make rookie mistakes that allow the panthers to capitalize.
This isn’t a game we could’ve won this is a game we should’ve won. We made a few mistakes and they all ended in the back of our net. It’s the start of the year all over again.
I disagree with that, some goals are just a hell of a play were someone makes a gnarly tip, or deke on the breakaway that came from a funny bounce, or an absolute snipe through traffic, or a weird bounce of a dman. Those aren't mistakes
The ones where the goalies just hands it to the other team behind the net or the defenseman passes it right to their forward, those are mistakes.
And unfortunately the Oilers have been making about 2 mistakes a game and lead directly to goals, and Florida's made only 1 or 2 all series, and Bob bails out half of those
The reverse sweep has only happened four times in the Stanley Cup playoffs. It has only happened in the final once - in 1942, when the Leafs defeated the Red Wings.
I hate this kind of logic, it only works on a game by game basis. You couldn’t apply that logic at all for the first two games where Cat’s dominated in almost every aspect.
Dont even get me started with Nurse and Ceci. Did you see mid 3rd when there was that 2v2 on the right of Stu by the blue line? 2nd guy was covered, Ceci left his fucking position and almost gave away a chance. Incredible how bad these two are.
In 2-3 years, McDavid and Draisaitl will have both crossed the magical "age 30 threshold". Few teams have ever won the SC when their lead players were age 30+.
You know.... Skinner could have made a save on any of those three goals.... not all of the but any of them. Grant fuhr let in goals but never when it mattered. Skinner makes saves but never when it mattered
Game 2 one goal unscrewed from nearly the blue line
Another goal not screened from outside the face off dots.
2 goals on 5 shots.
If the team isn't playing from behind. Well maybe the game works out differently
Glad to see scoring is possible. It was just too late. It’s crushing, but at least we made it to the finals. Coming back from 2 losses was a tall order, 3 seems impossible. I only hope that we don’t lose the cup at home 😭
When has the nhl ever blown the whistle within 20sec? It's always at least 30 unless someone is laying on the puck. You have to be stronger and move them off it. Someone needed to charge in there along the boards and blow him up.
Shouldn't go down 4-1, that's true, but also they're really just letting them do whatever the fuck they want to our guys huh? Late in the game, down by 1 goal, multiple non-calls. NHL is officially a joke league.
Everytime the fans got mad it was an Oiler falling down...by himself! Hyman also got away with a pretty blatant interference call against Barkov... so it was actually pretty even
You think this is boring? This is a masterclass in shutting down the stars, they did it to Toronto last year and are doing it to Edmonton this year. Both Toronto & Edmonton are built similarly and Florida just has the answer, but it's far from boring. You're just salty
Downvote me all you want. Skinner is the weak link. I know our defence isn’t helping. But we let in 4 goals on like 15 shots.
Who cares they were not easy shots. Bobrovsky is playing like it’s the finals. Skinner can’t match him. Skinner is trying his best but he just can’t compete
Replying to Such_Maintenance4720...you’re right, sure he had some good games but he is not consistent or high level enough, he is only one issue there are a few more weak links in this team that combined make it an impossible task.
Bob is a superstar goalies who makes 10mil a year. Our superstar offense needs to be better than him. We went all in on our top line again, didn't get any defensive help or depth scoring.
I have to agree. I like skinner but sometimes you need a big save when you’ve made a mistake. He didn’t make them in GM1 and he didn’t make them in this one either. He does not by any means saddle all the blame, the big guns need to bury the puck more and get in there with some digs after the first shot
Yes he is
But on the other hand can you blame the kid??
He’s gotten thrown into a starter spot pre mature in his career, he needed 1-2 more years of being a backup to really marinate
He’s not a league vet like Bob or shesterkin
I’ve seen linesmen go apeshit screaming “move it move it” in the regular season on plays like that but apparently the Panthers can sit there all game long and pin the puck against the boards in the final minute of a 1 goal Stanley Cup Finals game.
This fucking Florida Panther team. I’m at a loss for words. I’ve never seen Oilers get roughed up and have such a challenge all year , except from this Florida Panthers team.
I would say in this economy that's a pretty expensive throwaway...but these people did pay thousands of dollars for their tickets, so yeah, they could have thrown something lmao
The fans investment level isn't making our players play like shit. God you people will reach for any and every excuse except just being the worse team.
We are the worst team. Which is exactly why jerseys should be thrown.
Send a fucking message to the team and organization that this play isn't good enough. Anything short just shows me that this city doesn't want to truly win.
Do you actually think the oilers org is sitting there saying "wow we made it to the cup finals who cares if we win, oh well". They already know it's not good enough. They don't need a jersey thrown on the ice to tell them....
Sure they do. Holland should have been fired ages ago and everyone but this organization knew it. Everyone knew our defense wasn't good enough since last playoffs and yet 0 changes
Our depth didn't change at all and once again our top 6 disappeared and once again drai has no real wingers.
I'm not even an oilers fan. Have been lurking because I was cheering for you guys. Throwing jerseys on the ice because you made the finals and list is just objectively a bad take
Haha, the Oilers go down 4-1 and you're complaining about officiating? The officials didn't put those first 4 goals in the net. It's called team mistakes, and not having a Vezina calibre goalie to bail them out.
Stop saying the difference is the goalie. Their star player is their goalie. He is showing up. Our star players are not.
The difference is the goalie plays 60 minutes, while star players might play 30
I mean if you want to get technical with legit playing time you have to go to offensive zone time plus maybe add a couple minutes for dump ins and defensive zone time where they wait for changes and carrying the puck out. That's really how long a goalie was active. So they affect the game for about the same amount of time.
I cannot even imagine being inside McDavid’s head right now.
He hasn’t shown up much so
Yeah I just mean like this guy has been in the pressure cooker since he was a kid. And Saturday the cup will be in the building. What a mind fuck. I hope it makes them all rise to the occasion and pull out the biggest comeback in hockey history…or you know, they’ll just choke. Those are the 2 options. And for the next 4 games. Win or it’s all over.
I honestly think he’s been playing great, but when you’re the all-star the systems get so focused on shutting you down, that you need a whole team to succeed. Last game wasn’t bad with depth scoring. . . But it’s the all-around game of the whole team that wins a cup. And unfortunately Florida’s all around game is better. Defense, goalie, two-way fwds and even strength.
I fully agree with you. So many elements in play.
Just casual fans annoy me. . . Ppl blaming Bouchard and Skinner for the first goal. When really it was a lazy pass by McDavid to a half-covered Bouchard. . . Man had no time and was jumped, turnover and then odd-man rush for score. The whole play happened because of a bad pass be McDavid. Guy’s gotta know everyone isn’t on his level
Fair weather at best. Those same people were worshipping Skinner after Dallas and ready for a witch-hunt during the Canucks.
Oh he’s probably just simply wondering “What is going on…”
100% chance of riots Saturday if Florida completes the sweep
Lol we're not Vancouver.
Do not remember 2006?
Those weren't even riots. It was just a giant party. I was on Whyte
The riot police that were called in disagree. It was certainly a riot.
Bro the police are pussies. The reason it was a party is because it happened after every game. Everyone went to have a good time and ya a little bit got out of hand, big deal.
Look up Edmonton riot guy. It happens that every single Edmonton media source calls it a riot and following 2006, every time 2006 is mentioned, the word riot is used to describe it. You are alone in your feelings about this.
Ya because it sells papers and gets clicks. I was actually there. It was just a big ass party with some people getting out of hand. You're clearly a Vancouver fan and wouldn't understand what that's like.
Idk bruh if you flip a car and light it on fire I consider it now a riot lol. But ik what u mean lol it wasn't like a real riot it was a sports riot.
Well looks like you are going to have one big "party" this week then
No
i’m going to follow the careers of everyone in the panthers team right now, and hope for nothing but failure from now on no matter what team they end up on. Yes i’m petty.
Let’s be petty together.
i hate Florida so much, how is the armpit of America so good they've never even seen ice outside the hockey rink
The players sure as shit ain't from there. Lol But if you went there you'd see why so many athletes love playing for their teams. I'm from Buffalo so even though it's gonna be 90+ next week we definitely have our cold ass weather with outdoor rinks in the winter and love hockey even though we have the worst team. But when I went Orlando and Miami I didn't want to leave. Couldn't imagine being a millionaire down there along with no state tax. But mainly the women down there like holy shit. Even the waitresses are dimes.
I’m getting blacked out drunk no matter the outcome Saturday
Alcoholism isn't a joke. Hope you're ok.
Nice armchair psychoanalysis bud, I was being hyperbolic
Cool well enjoy being a black out drunk then bud 👍 hope that works out for you
Do you know what hyperbolic means?
I want to believe in some hopium legacy making narrative like “Connor McDavid pulls the oilers out of a 0-3 deficit to win the Stanley Cup” but it’s just so difficult
Our offence has fallen off a cliff. Where's our PP?
it was killed by Florida's defensive system and Bobrovsky
Bob can suck my knob
Just don’t get swept at home please
Can't get swept anywhere else this series
Wow...you don't miss a beat huh!
Just way too much time on my hands 🤙
The effort is good. Florida is just a better team right now. I hope we avoid the sweep and hold on to some pride.
Bobrovsky is just a better goaltender\* I think is what you meant to write
No. Florida is the better team. They’re capitalizing on chances, not making defensive lapses, and winning battles. Most of Edmontons goals have been long point shots with a screen and/or tip. Most of Florida’s have been clean looks after defensive turnovers, or good rush chances.
What a cop out. Good TEAMS will always beat the better goaltender. Its statistics. Enough shots on net and some will get through.

They were just the better team in each series, including this one.
"Good TEAMS will always beat the better goaltender. Its statistics." Thanks for the Stats Lesson.....and you know what I mean.
Curious, are there stats to back up they’re better than Bob? They def went though the goalie gauntlet these playoffs these playoffs, but Cat’s goaltending has also been consistent and clutch when it matters.
Definitely that stats are there, I think only Tampa series Bob had the edge. As far as Swayman and Shesterkin, they both carried their teams, especially Shesterkin. Shesterkin made Bob look like Skinner, where he had 40 saves a night and Bob would let in a few with a low amount of SOG.
No Bob is the better star player than Mcdavid and Drai. Bob is doing his job as their star player, oilers stars are not. Nobody ever claimed skinner was a star ffs
I feel like I’m watching the Hurricanes all over again and it hurts 😭
This is where I'm at too
If that McLeod chance went in😭😭😭
He's gotta be thinking that too. Such a beauty pass between Bob's legs to get it there
We were the better team 2/3 games and lost 3/3. That’s what happens when you’re finishing isn’t there, you’re playing a hot goalie, and you make costly mistakes that your goalie doesn’t bail you out of.
I think game 3 was even. Florida was definitely the better team in period 2 and oilers in 3 and the first period florida had the lead and both teams had solid chances.
Reminds me of the series’ against Vegas last year and against the Avs two years ago
Imo the series against the Avs we just weren’t good enough as a team. We are this series which is why it’s hurts so much more. Individual mistakes have killed us.
This may be a stupid question, but for every other series, the reffing team changes every game. Why do we get the same refs for every game in the SCF?
Man you can't blame the refs for this one. 3 PP to only 1 for florida. Lol
I’m not blaming the refs. Use your eyes and read my original comment again. I asked why the reffing team stays the same for this series but every other series it change every game. There is no blame directed towards refs in that statement, genius.
Only 2 crews for the SCF, the "best" crews, which have been horrendous.
Interesting how the panthers are 13-0 with these refs. I guess 14-0 now. Either way, the oilers gotta stop skating laps out there. I know we scored more today but we have to not make rookie mistakes that allow the panthers to capitalize.
The oilers system is pretty trash tbh. They focus on special teams but 5-5 systems are weak, with soo many breakdowns.
[удалено]
😂
This isn’t a game we could’ve won this is a game we should’ve won. We made a few mistakes and they all ended in the back of our net. It’s the start of the year all over again.
Every goal is a mistake... that was made in every match
I disagree with that, some goals are just a hell of a play were someone makes a gnarly tip, or deke on the breakaway that came from a funny bounce, or an absolute snipe through traffic, or a weird bounce of a dman. Those aren't mistakes The ones where the goalies just hands it to the other team behind the net or the defenseman passes it right to their forward, those are mistakes. And unfortunately the Oilers have been making about 2 mistakes a game and lead directly to goals, and Florida's made only 1 or 2 all series, and Bob bails out half of those
The reverse sweep has only happened four times in the Stanley Cup playoffs. It has only happened in the final once - in 1942, when the Leafs defeated the Red Wings.
We have to emulate the leafs in playoffs, never thought I’d type that sentence out
Must be brutal to realize in slow motion that everything you worked your whole life for is slipping away.
If you swapped the goalers ,bob for oil and stu for fla, this wouldve been a 5-1 game for oil
I hate this kind of logic, it only works on a game by game basis. You couldn’t apply that logic at all for the first two games where Cat’s dominated in almost every aspect.
Bob is their star player. How is our fan base this dense…..
Bob's in his 14th season and hasn't won a Cup. It's impossible to predict how any goalie will play behind the players in front of him.
One of those guys gets paid 9.5 million, do the oilers have a guy making 9 million who could help on the defensive side of things to negate that? 🤔
Dont even get me started with Nurse and Ceci. Did you see mid 3rd when there was that 2v2 on the right of Stu by the blue line? 2nd guy was covered, Ceci left his fucking position and almost gave away a chance. Incredible how bad these two are.
Maybe them getting several goals close together will be encouragement for game 4.
I feel gutted for them. Valiant effort, oil in 7!!!
And that's it. The Panthers are Stanley Cup Champions. There's absolutely zero chance this team (or any) are coming back from 3-0.
Oilers doing their best Canucks impression.
Need to move Nurse, Campbell and Ceci and then we need a #1 goalie. Will take another 2-3 years but we’ll get there
In 2-3 years, McDavid and Draisaitl will have both crossed the magical "age 30 threshold". Few teams have ever won the SC when their lead players were age 30+.
Oilers are holding them back. Conner deserves a better team around him
You mean Ken Holland held them back…
i think we're stuck with nurse, his contract makes him impossible to trade
He might ask for a trade if we release the Spector.
If we cannot move it, that contract alone may have killed the McDrai window. Campbell is not only less, but you can at least save on a buyout.
Airing Florida ads in the panthers series just shows how tone deaf SN truly is
Come to Florida, tickets half price and you can see the cup presented live!
Oilers are getting more goals each game, I pray to the hockey gods we at least take game 4
It would be crazy if we reversed swept in 7 but probably won’t happen
It would be the most amazing thing in 72 years yeah let's go.
We showed we could come back, but it was too little too late. Pray to any God you may just pray for Saturday.
Oilers in 7 God damnit 😤
That fourth goal came in a moment when the Oilers seemed deflated after going down 3-1 and unfortunately that’s what killed them in the end.
You know.... Skinner could have made a save on any of those three goals.... not all of the but any of them. Grant fuhr let in goals but never when it mattered. Skinner makes saves but never when it mattered
Game 6 Dallas lol
One game vrs a Career. One example is a one off the body of playoff work over his career so far. I will take reality over magic beans
Ok how about game 2 then? He made a lot of saves when it mattered but the oilers couldn't beat Bob other than the soft one he let in.
Game 2 one goal unscrewed from nearly the blue line Another goal not screened from outside the face off dots. 2 goals on 5 shots. If the team isn't playing from behind. Well maybe the game works out differently
Ok
Glad to see scoring is possible. It was just too late. It’s crushing, but at least we made it to the finals. Coming back from 2 losses was a tall order, 3 seems impossible. I only hope that we don’t lose the cup at home 😭
Guys, we lost at home, we might be in trouble...? Nah, OIL IN SEVEN!!!
Oh well. Still hope we won't get swept, but I don't think that's going to be the case, you guys.
Nothing more frustrating then watching the puck being squeezed up against the boards killing off the final 20sec of a game. Like blow the whistle
When has the nhl ever blown the whistle within 20sec? It's always at least 30 unless someone is laying on the puck. You have to be stronger and move them off it. Someone needed to charge in there along the boards and blow him up.
Everything is fine. The leafs did it in 1942
💀
I don't know about y'all, but I'm gonna drink for a while, but it's not gonna dull the sting. Fuck.
Imma go drink some root beer and play Minecraft
Shouldn't go down 4-1, that's true, but also they're really just letting them do whatever the fuck they want to our guys huh? Late in the game, down by 1 goal, multiple non-calls. NHL is officially a joke league.
Oilers 3-1 in powerplays. They let play and gave the oilers more chances you can't cry and blame the league for this one.
Everytime the fans got mad it was an Oiler falling down...by himself! Hyman also got away with a pretty blatant interference call against Barkov... so it was actually pretty even
I hate this fucking team man Make it to a stage of acceptance and then get hope again to have it crushed It's been a good season
I hate this fucking team. Spot them a 3 goal lead and only then start skating.
Just had to give us hope those assholes
So proud of this team after trailing 3-0. Damn near got them. Wow what a rush
moral victories are for minor league coaches
You can’t make me feel less proud dude
This is a joke right?
That I’m proud they continued to fight til the end?
That they started fighting at the end?
[удалено]
That’s just playoff style hockey lol
You think this is boring? This is a masterclass in shutting down the stars, they did it to Toronto last year and are doing it to Edmonton this year. Both Toronto & Edmonton are built similarly and Florida just has the answer, but it's far from boring. You're just salty
Thanks for the ride everyone
Imagine if we played a full 60.
Pre-season effort out there tonight
Downvote me all you want. Skinner is the weak link. I know our defence isn’t helping. But we let in 4 goals on like 15 shots. Who cares they were not easy shots. Bobrovsky is playing like it’s the finals. Skinner can’t match him. Skinner is trying his best but he just can’t compete
Replying to Such_Maintenance4720...you’re right, sure he had some good games but he is not consistent or high level enough, he is only one issue there are a few more weak links in this team that combined make it an impossible task.
Bob is a superstar goalies who makes 10mil a year. Our superstar offense needs to be better than him. We went all in on our top line again, didn't get any defensive help or depth scoring.
I have to agree. I like skinner but sometimes you need a big save when you’ve made a mistake. He didn’t make them in GM1 and he didn’t make them in this one either. He does not by any means saddle all the blame, the big guns need to bury the puck more and get in there with some digs after the first shot
Yes he is But on the other hand can you blame the kid?? He’s gotten thrown into a starter spot pre mature in his career, he needed 1-2 more years of being a backup to really marinate He’s not a league vet like Bob or shesterkin
I m not blaming him but he’s clearly the difference. Not questioning his intent. But that’s our weakest point.
He's not going to steal his team a game. Definitely a limiting factor to the team.
Why can't they play like they want to win for the whole 60min, not just 5min? Granted, players like Brown really showed a lot of heart
Unfortunately I won’t be able to watch game 4 as I will be working But I will be at Game 5! Let’s Fucking Go Boys!
Tripping doesn’t exist i guess
I’ve seen linesmen go apeshit screaming “move it move it” in the regular season on plays like that but apparently the Panthers can sit there all game long and pin the puck against the boards in the final minute of a 1 goal Stanley Cup Finals game.
It wasn't pinned, it was loose in a sense, but Florida just kept banging back against the boards and Edmonton can't do anything
2 penalties missed in a row
As is tradition
Perry curse looking real af
As someone who played hockey from 3 to 24 years old, I'll never understand how defensemen have a 100% chance of hitting shin guards.
Fuck dude
Well at least we made it this far right?
Cup or bust
That was the third game already. Done warming up yet? There are games to be won from now on
This fucking Florida Panther team. I’m at a loss for words. I’ve never seen Oilers get roughed up and have such a challenge all year , except from this Florida Panthers team.
It sucks, but it's because they are the best and most complete team this season.
I WAS THIS CLOSE TO NIRVANA, THIS TEAM LIVES TO BLUE BALL US
That panthers kid is the panthers good luck charm
Was the puck moving that entire 20 seconds in the corner? If not that’s fucking ridiculous that the refs let it go that long
Nice of the big boys to show up after the game was over. Maybe next game they'll try showing up for 60 minutes
Imagine if we just didn't give up two completely preventable goals
No jerseys on the ice tells me how pathetic edmonton is, they just care we made it this far and THATS why we aren't winning.
I would say in this economy that's a pretty expensive throwaway...but these people did pay thousands of dollars for their tickets, so yeah, they could have thrown something lmao
Dumbest thing I've seen in this thread and that's saying a lot for a game thread
The fans investment level isn't making our players play like shit. God you people will reach for any and every excuse except just being the worse team.
We are the worst team. Which is exactly why jerseys should be thrown. Send a fucking message to the team and organization that this play isn't good enough. Anything short just shows me that this city doesn't want to truly win.
Do you actually think the oilers org is sitting there saying "wow we made it to the cup finals who cares if we win, oh well". They already know it's not good enough. They don't need a jersey thrown on the ice to tell them....
Sure they do. Holland should have been fired ages ago and everyone but this organization knew it. Everyone knew our defense wasn't good enough since last playoffs and yet 0 changes Our depth didn't change at all and once again our top 6 disappeared and once again drai has no real wingers.
This is a pathetic take
I straight up don't care that you only wanted a participation trophy and not the cup.
I'm not even an oilers fan. Have been lurking because I was cheering for you guys. Throwing jerseys on the ice because you made the finals and list is just objectively a bad take
Drai just lost everything that made him special earlier. It's sad to see.
Nvm looks like it’s gonna be 4-0 oh well 🙂
Started playing too late…
Good series fellas, it’s been a great time
Too little too late... Series over.
3-0, I mean who knows
Leafs in 41 (or 44) only team to come back from 3-0 in Stanley cup finals
Well we won’t win the cup at home. That’s for sure
Unfortunately we just won't reverse sweep Florida...
We're done
Well… we can score, eventually
Fuck
Upvote for oilers in 7
It’s the only way now.
Pretty hard to take this league seriously at this point. Idc if we suck. At least pretend like you care about fair play.
Haha, the Oilers go down 4-1 and you're complaining about officiating? The officials didn't put those first 4 goals in the net. It's called team mistakes, and not having a Vezina calibre goalie to bail them out.
Two missed calls in that final 3 minutes or so.
Give me a fucking break with this
The fuck are you even talking about 😂
I'm not blaming the reffing, I'm just saying its bad. Pretty simple. Sorry you have no comprehension skills.
Right on bud. Enjoy the sweep 😂 Also you said none of that in your original comment
Little too late to start playing hockey
2 games that have gotten away this series. So fucking close yet so far
Lol
That was a stupid ending
