That Aud Smell Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 17 minutes ago, Pimlach said: The entire Oilers team was completely gassed for the last two minutes of the game. Knoblach probably overplayed his top players in the 3rd period, they pulled their goalie too late, and they had nothing left for a final push. They had a chance to call a timeout with ~35 seconds left. Not in an ideal situation -- coming from an offside they committed. But I still wonder why they didn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Florida's team defense was something to behold. There were several times during the game where Edmonton was dominating play -- and I'd look up at the SOG and Edmonton was stuck on 12 or whatever they had for half of the second period. The Oilers were flying around, looking dangerous, but how many pucks did Bob actually have to stop? Not that many, it turns out. Also, I'm sure it was mentioned upthread, but the GWG was a leaky bit of business. Nice work by Samuel Reinnhardt, though, for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 My cold heart melted when I saw Okposo with the Cup. That said, the dude is still a mumble mouthed dipsh1t for allowing the (his) team to "retaliate" against the fans for their chants of organizational unrest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Reinnhardt was kind enough to take a picture with my youngest when we bumped into him at the Fuddruckers on Maple Road. I know of whom I speak.

Also, I'm pretty sure that Perreault was the 11th overall pick -- that's why he wore the number throughout his career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 I have to give ABC credit. They stuck with the cup celebration for an incredibly long time. They did have the occasional stupid moment where they would show an interview instead of the next guy with the cup, but that was pretty minimal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perreault was that good. I also think people tend to forget about Pierre Turgeon. 19 Seasons (only 4 with Buffalo). Over 500 goals. 1300+ points. A 58 goal, 132 point season where he won the Lady Byng and I think was in the top 3 or 5 for the Hart trophy. 15 seasons making the playoffs, over 100 playoff points. He had 30 goal seasons in the 80's, 90's and 2000's. The fact he was only in Buffalo for 4 seasons and split his career across 6 different teams takes a bit away from what most people think about him, but he was really good. Not Perreault good, but much better than people seem to remember. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 2 hours ago, Pimlach said: Well, this should sum up the MVP argument. 16 of 17 first place votes for McDavid means lots of people saw the same thing. McDavid is special, even if he didn't score in the last 2 games, he was a force the entire playoff. I can understand the argument for picking a player on the winning team since it is extremely rare to see this result, but every season is different. Reflecting back on it and listening to their coach talk about it, Florida must really have some great internal leadership that extends beyond who wears the C and the A's. Did you see that one guy used his 3 votes for McDavid/Hyman/Bouchard? That guy shouldn't be allowed to vote anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Perreault good, but much better than people seem to remember. They had good teams with Turgeon but they never won a playoff series in his time in Buffalo. He was traded for LaFontaine, a player with both high skills, leadership, and grit. I saw Turgeon in St Louis when he was making his post HoF induction rounds. He played 5 seasons there and they gave him a nice tribute but he is kind of a man without a team.

Didn't understand taking the TO then because the refs had just let them waste about 1 minute getting their guys back out there. Get that he wanted to draw a play up, but at that point the FO was at the BL & they WEREN'T (at least they didn't) taking Skinner off the ice AND they'd just had a pseudo-mini TO. That absolutely didn't cost them the game, but just found it a strange circumstance to take the TO there. Would've been much better off taking it at the next whistle; which turned out to be with ~35 seconds left - plenty of time for McDavid to work the puck to Draisalt so he could fan on yet another shot. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
