2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs: Round 2

[TrueBlueGED]

Nashville really missing Shea Weber's leadership.

[Wyldnwoody44]

I hope the oilers show up, and then go home, crying

[WildCard]

Nashville really missing Shea Weber's leadership.

Looks like that trade is finally showing it's true value. But hey, at least Weber is young and cheap

[Randall Flagg]

Nashville really missing Shea Weber's leadership.

At least Montreal can pat themselves on the back knowing they have more character, and that their players don't dance during warmups (because they're scattered around the globe golfing) 

[CallawaySabres]

I think every single Edmonton fan is in a jersey tonight, awesome. Someday, someday

[qwksndmonster]

Hahaha what a softie by Gibson. Draisaitl gets hooked clean and his fanned shot goes five hole.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Drais scores.... And a blatant elbow (maybe not intentional) missed

[Thorner]

I'm one of Reinhart's biggest fans here.

 

Murray missed, Draisaitl was the pick.

[darksabre]

Well. How bout that.

Gibson chased in 9 minutes. Brutal.

[Randall Flagg]

Can this be us next yr pls

Murray missed, Draisaitl was the pick.

Reinhart was clear #2 at the time. There was only the question of Ekblad or Reinhart at 2 depending on FLA.

[Radar]

Wow Anaheim better get into this quick.

Reinhart was clear #2 at the time. There was only the question of Ekblad or Reinhart at 2 depending on FLA.

True.

Game over?

[qwksndmonster]

Gibson's 5-hole was open for business. Three bad goals. Then Bernier gives up an early one to put the Ducks down 0-4.

[matter2003]

Oilers looking like bees buzzing around and the Ducks are trying to swat them away but have realized they need to simply take cover right now...4-0 in the 1st with half a period left...Oilers are looking like the 80's Oilers...Ducks have no answers right now...

[Wyldnwoody44]

Yeah that's an ugly game.... Sorry quacks, no comeback tonight.... I dont see how the ducks can win game 7 looking this bad right now.... Is Edmontons speed too much for even Nashville?

[TrueBlueGED]

I'm one of Reinhart's biggest fans here.

 

Murray missed, Draisaitl was the pick.

At least he didn't take Bennett :lol:

[pi2000]

I understand the Duck's tendies are having a rough night but Vatanen looks lost out there, some very weak plays on the puck the last 2 goals.

This Oilers team reminds me a lot of the Sabres and Hurricanes speed coming out of the lockout...

[CallawaySabres]

Uh, Buffalo has the slowest team in the entire NHL so I think the answer to that one is probably no

[qwksndmonster]

Are the Oilers going to show up tonight?

Turns out, yes.

[Thorner]

At least he didn't take Bennett :lol:

Yes, exactly.

 

Reinhart is going to be a very good player for us. That's what matters.

[Randall Flagg]

Lucic, Kassian, Maroon, Draisaitl, RNH, and most of the rest of the bottom six? We can match that. Edmonton is way more a "strong team with McDavid" than a fast-skating team. We get a couple puck-moving D and a better system and we're fine.

[Taro T]

Yes, exactly.

Reinhart is going to be a very good player for us. That's what matters.

It sure seems that he will be. 47 points as a 21 year old sophomore is a very good start. I'm really hoping (& pretty much expecting) to see him at 58 or more this year.

[TrueBlueGED]

Turns out, yes.

 

Something something negative momentum and emotions from game 5 something something.

Well, in fairness, if the other team's goalie flat out refuses to cover the 5 hole it doesn't matter how despondent your team is heading into puck drop. ;)
