If that goal saved by the Florida defenseman..(Mikkola?)

 

Kulikov I think... but yeah that was an incredible play...he was falling, twisting into a pretzel almost and still found a way to knock the puck out of the crease...game-saving Cup-winning block ...

Kulikov..yes. Thanks.

Congrats to the Panthers....kind of wish they had blown it, would have been awesome.

 

But either way we watched hockey history tonight.

 

You know McDavid is going to get all kinds of grief for not coming out to accept the CS, but i understand.

You know the team better than me so I'll take your word for it but did they look banged up? Play banged up (besides Draisaitl)? I didn't see a "banged up team" they looked plenty fast to me, great puck control, quick breakouts, no bonehead "out of gas" penalties... a few mistakes on D + Bobrovsky had his A game tonight.

 

Heck the Oilers came THISCLOSE to taking 4 straight off one of the toughest defensive teams...maybe ever - certainly one of the best to make the Final in a long time.

 

So if this is the Oilers "banged up" ... Oilers fans have a lot to look forward to is all I can say!

 

Kane - hernia, in such pain that he couldn't even sit on the bench. Not recovered from the gruesome injury he sustained in Tampa last year, and can't feel anything in his left arm from the elbow-down. Should have been shut down months ago, but battled to get them to the playoffs.

 

Draisaitl - injured in game 1 of the Vancouver series. Speculation is that it's a broken rib(s). Has been wearing a splint on his left hand for a month now. Right about then is when his ability to shoot the puck evaporated, and by tonight, he had nothing. Was caved by Florida's 4th

line this evening.

 

Henrique - missed the entirety of the second round with a sprained ankle and, according to him, came back about a month early.

 

McDavid - yeah, I know he did what he did, but he's been hurt all season long. Lost about 10 mph off his shot and then the core injury at the end of the regular season. I think he basically emptied the tank to get the team to game 7.

Congratulations to the Sassy Cats of Methville.

I hope TNT has the finals next year. 

I hate ESPNs hockey coverage.

Just ridiculous, cover the damn sport and cut the sports century treatment. Ray Ferraro is the only worthy member of that  broadcast team.

@RBGordie

Taking sour grapes to a marvelous level of petty, good for you.

 

That third period was tense as hell, fun to watch, I hope both teams had fun, because I sure did.

 

I would shoot a guy to get Barkov to play for my team. Good team, fair outcome not an unjust result of a weird but entertaining series.

If I recall Hextall claimed it in 1987.  My parents were trying to console me with that back at the time.

Been saying that since they were a dumpster fire.

 

So yeah no way you'll get him now.

I didn't bet money on it. I was close in the Bracket Challenge. I picked Florida to win the Cup, but chose Dallas to beat Edmonton.

Anybody salty about it just wanted a picture of McDavid looking as miserable as Giguere did that night, and those people can get phucked.

[mojo1917]

I have no problem with McDavid ghosting the Conn Smythe.

None.

 

He was fabulous in the tournament and may have been puking his face off or getting an IV treatment.

He left nothing in the tank.

Oilers Nation reported that the core injury he suffered at the end of the season required surgery, but he decided to put it off until after the playoffs.

If I was McDavid, I would've taken the little energy left to hack the scoreboard panels between the lower and upper bowl and replace the score by a right-direction scrolling "╭∩╮(°.°)╭∩╮"

 

 

[Brewin Flames]

Come out and look miserable, exhasuted and pissed after giving his all, gets roasted on the internet, or, a captain that stays with his team as a leader, and gets roasted anyway...

 

Can't win for losing in this situation.
