Post-Game Talk: Oilers with the reverse orca card

[Drivesaitl]

Booch getting all the credit, and thank god for the goal but Kane and Drai made that play happen with huge efforts and once again Drai involved in saving the game.

Really poor game by McD tonight. Possibly his worst playoff game ever. Gotta be better than this. So many misplays by McD in this game and then on tying goal. he has time to get to the point to break up puck at line, he hangs back, and Nucks score. need to defend more aggressively there, it isn't a pk, you have 5 players on ice.

Drai also guilty on the first goal, Garland.

Gotta be better in critical times of games. Oilers still fumble at worst possible moments but we got the W while making it much harder than it had to be.

With Skinner this would've been guaranteed loss. Pickard saved this giving us at least a good goalie performance. First time in the series we can say that.

0.900+ Oilers goaltending.

Feels as rare as seeing a unicorn. 2 PDO kings lucky deflection style goals too that Pickard can't be faulted for. I don't think you can go back to Skinner after that

 

[TheNumber4]

Ceci needs to come out

I’d be down for it. I’m not a 100% sold on Stecher though. Wish we had another option but Holland.

Just trying to find any excuse why the Canucks lost give it a rest

[Oilers in NS]

Smoke a big fatty

get er done

 

[sepHF]

holy f*** ive aged 10 years this series

Bouchard has ice in his veins

Big D*** Pick with a great game, 2 deflections he didnt have a chance on. He looked so much calmer than Skinner

RNH with his best game of the playoff so far, even outside that goal. He was playing great - so much better on the wing

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

f*** me that last minute goal was sexy

 

[Tobias Kahun]

lmao sportsnet, thats not even close to a highstick.

I'm sure we'll hear Tocchet crying about how they hope the league cracks down on these missed stoppages.

 

[ZJuice]

Bouchard wanted to get out of the rink and take a shit. Threaded the needle with all of the back up. Amazing

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

He's the best Oilers d-man, imho, though Ekholm gets most credit.

Lol Bouchard dominated tonight, the winner is just icing on that cake

 

[VainGretzky]

We are seeing a superstar in the making. We really are. I’m putting in work on the mains to serve up some crow later. Oilers fans should feel confident doing that.

Pacing 137 points in playoffs Bobby Orr smiles

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Panel crying again over Oilers success. Get f***ed you stupid hacks!

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Friedman trying to discredit the winning goal. Figured.. get f***ed

Win the next one and finally get a series lead boys

 

[5 14 6 1]

Holy f*** emotional whiplash. Such a huge win

 

[nexttothemoon]

Ride Pickard
Bring in Stecher
Bring in Gagner to hopefully spark some O in the bottom 6.
Bring in Carrick (if he's healthy)

4 steps to more playoff success... at least do the first 2 Oilers.

 

[dustrock]

One day some other Oiler you may not have heard of will score a goal in the playoffs. Until that day comes, we'll ride the 5 players who can contribute offensively

gotta laugh at u
A bigot u say

 

[TheNumber4]

Kane was a terror on the forecheck again. Deserves props for bringing that physicality when he can and smartly.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Pickard was good.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I’d be down for it. I’m not a 100% sold on Stecher though. Wish we had another option but Holland.

Broberg, size and speed.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Ahh good old Gene to cleanse the palette after listening to Elliot

 

[McMozesmadness]

No points, but I thought Holloway really added a spark tonight. His size and speed are so valuable when he’s on

 

[Dynamic]

That game aged me like that planet in Interstellar. Fawk me!

 

[Oilers in NS]

Knoblach is a hero. Full credit for putting Pickard in net, also for putting Holloway in the top six. Finally a coach who has a clue!

good to keep Drai and McDavid on separate lines
