Ok.

He is having a fever dream where finally ready to stand up for himself and his teammates. Oilers locker room desperately trying to stop him from realizing that this isn't the SCF against the Bruins.

Talbot got a shutout and an assist on a McDavid goal and didn't even get in the top 3 stars. granted he only made 16 save. 10 even strength, 5 in 12 minutes of PK, and 1 shorthanded.

The Sharks were so bad they made the oilers D look good. both goals given up short handed. I wonder who got more shots on the Sharks powerplays.

I've seen people on twitter blame the Blue Jackets on John Tortorella, but let me assure you, the Columbus Blue Jackets were a shithead team that resorts to playing dirty when they start losing well before they hired Torts.

The broadcast said Kassian/McDavid/Russel, because russel blocked 5 shots and had 6:22 TOI shorthanded.

Just went through the play by play, Oilers had 2 goals on 6 shots shorthanded, Sharks had 5 shots on the powerplay. That's beautiful.

McDavid's first playoff goal with the oilers looks almost identical to one of gretzky's last.

Both shorthanded, same spot on the ice, both goalies dead to rights, even celebrated in the same spot.

Expect to see these overlaid side by side in every oilers video reel for the next 50 years.

edit: put them side by side, pause Mcdavid at the redline play gretzky, unpause Mcdavid when gretsky hits the redline. Goosebumps.

Kassian was a beast tonight. Real fascinating as an impartial fan to this series to watch the Canadian coverage where they're extolling how great Kassian's game was, then switch to the Sharks channel and hear them ask about suspensions for charging.

With that said, the Sharks laid a real stinker out on the ice tonight. No life in them. And that PP is really really terrible. They need Jumbo back asap.

Sticks do break easy, especially once they get dinged up, but you really gotta bend the poo poo out of them to get it to go. I mean, look at the flex they get out of a typical slapshot and they don't immediately snap.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

That's disappointing, is completely out of character, and totally mindless from Matt Calvert and he probably deserves an early end to his season, but I've got beachfront property in Arizona for anybody expecting anything to make sense from people of authority regarding NHL discipline in the playoffs.


Sid pulled Hartnell's left leg out from under him just after this happened when the group hug was on Bob's stick side and didn't get called for it if it makes you feel any better.

e- Also, :lol: if Sullivan dresses Sestito to send a message, taking out a better forward in the process, because all the Pens have to do to take this series in four is keep doing what they're doing. CBJ have decent possession numbers, but it doesn't matter if you don't acually get pucks behind MAF and the CBJ right now have the potency of a 70 year old quadriplegic.

Rangers end up shorthanded. Fighting majors to Miller and Weber, double minor to Zuccarello, minor to Benn, nothing to Ott.

So, I initially had the same thought but here is probably why:
Ott hit was hard but probably legal. Looks like shoulder contact even though Zuch goes flying
Thus:
Zucharello started the scrum by going after Ott for what in the refs opinion was a clean hit, thus nyr are going to be short
Benn then shows up I guess and gets two meaning Zuch's increased to a double to keep nyr short
Fight in the background gets those guys paired off.

It all hinges on whether you think Ott hit is clean or not. If not then he should have started short meaning Zuch gets 2 and he gets 4 and the situation is reversed.

So Calvert might not get suspended because the stick broke too easily? JFC, NHL it's not bad because the stick broke, it's that he crosschecked someone in the back of the neck because he was butthurt in garbage time.

Not that it makes it any better, but BizNasty just said on Twitter he rewatched it and the primary contact point was on the shoulder, not neck.
