Kings Redeem LA Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Holy moly what a final ten minutes! The Edmonton Youngins are movin on. Such a turnaround in only a year's time! to the 4 - 2 Oiler pickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Ewing Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 -The goal going into the season was to be playing meaningful games late in the year, and they will be in playoff games in May. Very cool. -As I said in the shoutbox, the Sharks are amazing at running picks. I kept waiting for Hakeem Olajuwon or Bill Russell to jump over the boards. -I hope Oscar Klefbom doesn't need a round in the bacta tank, because he didn't play at all in the 3rd period. Losing him would be devastating. -I don't understand why Meier was benched for this game, because I saw him good for the Sharks. -Draisaitl's stick breaking like that on the empty net shot, creating the tension, drama and clench moments, is something straight out of the movies. I watched every. Single. Game. Of this rebuild. I've watched a head coach award the captaincy based on V02 scores at training camp. I once saw them play with only four skaters for a little over 2 minutes with nobody in the penalty box. I've watched the GM step off a plane to scout a player in the wrong country. And now, for the first time since 2006, I've seen them win a playoff series, and that feels good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel depressed right now. more due to work and not being able to watch any games than hockey, but cherry on top lol. If anything I hope your team does well moving forward. The only reason I pulled for them to improve over the last 10 years was because of you being a friend lol. i see a lot of young"Thornton" in Draisaitl and hope he keeps getting better. People don't realize how good he is because of McDavid being a generational talent. This series is one time I wish my last year analysis of oiler improvement was wrong I posted this in july on a fantasy forum as most were picking the Oilers to suck again this year http://forums.dobbersports.com/showthread.php?200652-Is-Connor-McDavid-Gearing-up-for-a-Hart-and-Art-Ross-Next-Season/page2&p=1638334#post1638334 its good for me because I have McDavid and Talbot in the keeper league, but bad for me as My boy Jumbo and Pattywill be 38 next year and their last chance was probably last year.

I just remember him always complaining about plus/minus all the time like it was the end all be all. They have been playing well and haven't seen him so he never gives praise it seems only complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR Ewing Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Last night, Adam Larsson played 26:10, including 21:27 at 5 on 5. During that time, the Sharks managed only 5 shots. And here is a Shots Allowed map for Oscar Klefbom last night: It was a blow to the team when he was too ill to play the third period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And THIS, right here folks, is the very definition of HARDCORE FAN. Congratulations to the Oilers unseating the Western Champ Sharks. Lots of work ahead for this team if they are to truly win anything, but I have a feeling, after all the absurdities you have witnessed involving this team, facing down the Anaheim Ducks seems comparatively EASY!

I wonder what @radoran would say to this idea for the Flyers since we have had conversation about the Captain currently on the team. I'd be down with that. Best way to strip him if needed.

By all means, go for it. I'm sure that Dallas Eakins would jump at the chance to coach at the NHL level once again. 2 hours ago, OccamsRazor said: Wow that is a long time. I always think they could have another Cup had Roloson not got hurt that first game of the finals. Pretty much, though who can say for sure? We know that Roloson had a .927 SV% up until Marc-Andre Bergeron decided to throw a Hurricanes player on top of him, and after that the Oilers received .907 goaltending from the backups, including this beauty in game 1: The age of youtube is tough on former athletes. When you think of historic sporting gaffes, many live on only in print form. Nobody is around anymore who saw Snodgrass's Muff in the 1912 World Series, and no photos or video recordings exist, so the event fades from the public's memory. The same goes for Merkle's Boner in 1908. It was a moment of extreme humiliation and controversy, but today is unremembered, excepted by assholes like me, who use these plays as an opportunity to use words like "muff" and "boner" in conversation.

J0e Th0rnton Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Jumbo Joe Thornton is such a damn warrior. Torn MCL and ACL and still he tried to play(And played better than most). Explains why he was initiating zero contact, but he looked good despite. Ill be honest, I was hoping to see what Pavelski's injury was to explain his play only to find he didn't have one.....
