My head says Ovi finally gets his cup, but my heart says the second Oilers dynasty starts now.

the other game, they swapped Louie and Cassie and it was fantastic. Louie was down between the benches where he belongs, because then there's a chance down there he can get hit in the face with a puck.

Xtanstic posted:The first year Cassie Campbell-Pascale started doing NHL games for CBC she was a colour announcer for a bit. I miss it dearly and wish they'd give her another shot but I can't say I'm surprised she's been relegated to sideline reporting. I can't imagine the trouble of breaking into the boys club as much as she has. Watching the vancouver stream with the 17 year old trying to do play by play, and the kings game with some guy who didn't know anybody's names dryly describing the game like he's ordering a pizza was terrible. We're drat lucky in edmonton, even drew remenda is knowledgeable and fun sometimes.

Pornographic Memory posted:what series do you guys think will be the most fun to watch? i feel like i gotta binge on as much playoff hockey as possible and i'll be watching cbj-pens anyway. i'll probably watch leafs-caps to hate-root against the caps but fat chance that isn't a curb stomp series Oilers-sharks will be fun because neither are really considered contenders, and the puck landing on Mcdavid's stick at his own blue line and him being completely alone by the next one will put a smile on anybody's face. You'll also get to see eberle and RNH in their first playoffs. And Taylor Hall will also probably be watching. Leafs-Caps will be fun, it's like an unstoppable force and immovable object, and they're playing against a team of rookies just there to have fun. Tkachuk-Kessler might be fun, but you have to sit through flames-ducks games to see it.

The oilers are embracing the orange. All the merch they're selling is bright orange, the city is giving out stickers and signs for stores and stuff. The mayor declared it "orange crush" time. http://globalnews.ca/news/3371383/don-iveson-declares-it-orange-crush-time-in-edmonton-ahead-of-nhl-playoffs/ City crews are even getting into it putting orange cones all over major roads before taking a nap.

Ginette Reno posted:By my count there's 7 teams in the playoffs that have never won the Cup and a number of other teams with long droughts. Well there are 30 teams, so if each team won the cup once, the first of 30 to do so would be on a 29 year "drought" by the time the last team won one. Mathematically, there needs to be droughts. A CBJ/wild final would be a first for both teams. The 3 teams that have never made the finals have only been around for 14 and 16 years, so in a 30 team league aren't statistically one of the "losers" yet. Since the '67 cup win, the Leafs have never been back to the finals.

Cartoon Man posted:Look, Caps haven't played a real game in like 5-6 days, they thrive on momentum and this was like coming off a bye week. Add in all the pressure of their past demons and being the president trophy winner and they come out skating and shooting like rear end. The fact that they could settle down and come from behind bodes well. And they've been feeling like they kind of had a cold and their cat just died like a week ago and they still feel bad about it and they think their girlfriend is cheating on them and their mind was on that the entire game and they're just not "feeling it" right now. but they still got it done.

Kalenn Istarion posted:Also as a ref I can't loving stand "playoff rules" officiating standards. If the refs called he same game they did in reg season you'd arguably have even smoother flow of play than by easing off because guys would know they can't get away with garbage crosschecks and guys like Matt "I'm a stupid rear end in a top hat" Martin would help hand out water bottles. But the game is so fast, the refs can't be expected to see the thing they're looking directly at.

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.

hifi posted:nhl.com says the 3 stars were kassian/talbot/mcdavid 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXoArMDDCOM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__lBD-Wlbr0 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.

HOTLANTA MAN posted:Rinne has been a brick wall so far, holy poo poo The top 3 full-game goalies are under 1 GAA and over 0.95 SV%. Dubnyk is at 1.86 and .923 without a win. bobrovsky is at 2.88 and .897, only ahead of Anderson and Elliot. The st louis/nashville series could be the most boring goalie games of all time. Edmonton/Anaheim could be a hilarious blowout if Gibson stays cold and Talbot stays hot.

Kilza posted:Honestly, I'm just done after tonight's game. I felt positive going into the game, but I stopped watching after it was 4-0, and seeing it end up 7-0 just makes things worse. All those positive feelings are gone. That was the worst game the Oilers played all season, and it's beyond frustrating when the Oilers had been the better team in the series, could've been up 3-0 if they didn't fall asleep in Game 1, and instead now they're tied 2-2. But there's no chance in hell they're winning another game in this series. They're done. Stick the lol, holy poo poo. It was one game. Maybe they needed this, Maybe we needed this. e: Maybe this game tape will be playing during Draisaitl's contract negotiations. Powershift fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Apr 19, 2017 |
