Oilers are ...

[Harry York 37]

I must admit that as much as Bouchard reminds of another enigma, who plays for us, he is dazzling to watch when he is unconscious. Just like the guy in our team. Breathtaking grace at speed.

Stars getting owned again.

Mmmmmm yummm

Yep should 2-0 oilers. Only question is can they beat the panthers. And I think they can!

Both teams are the cream of the league

Sure but mcdavid is the xfactor. And he hasn't turned it on yet.

Gonna need a lot more than McDavid

So ur saying u think the panthers have a chance against the oilers?

If someone put a gun to my head I’d bet on the panthers. Skinner reminds me of Jon Casey.

Be a killer series though. Hyman is throwing 10 hard hits a game … it’s crazy.

I just got my firestick set up so i can watch games league wide. Did hyman turn up the hits last years playoffs too? And why do you think he doesn’t incorporate that into his regular season play? Dude has 90 hits already!!

Nurse should be suspended for that slash.

It’s …interesting how the NHL rules on the more vicious penalties.
If they knew Nurse calculated and targeted that exact soft Achilles-heel type of area, they might suspend him. It seems they rule as if the slash, vicious hack that it was, had landed three inches higher, there would have been no “real” injury and leave it as a minor.
I garauntee Nurse picked his spot and nailed it, but that is impossible to prove, absolutely.

It’s pale, in comparison to the chicken [shirt] drive-by that Petrovaginalo pulled to end Draisaitl’s dominance over himself and the Vegas Mobsters a couple of years ago. Draisaitl was historic up til that [nonsense] ended his effectiveness..

I agree 100% with what DeBoer said about in his post game presser. If that same play happened with McDavid being the player getting slashed and helped off the ice in the same way Hintz was, it's a 5 minute major, no question. Any one that watches NHL hockey should know this is exactly right. Nurse targeted that area knowing there is little or no protection there. Like I said earlier in the thread, if Hintz can't play, it's time for an eye for an eye. Dallas should target either McDavid or Leon.

Because it takes a lot out of you. Need to preserve for when it matters. He’s not 26 anymore. He scores goals and does so much. He’s like Perron (got better with age). He’s not just throwing token hits either. He rocked guys in the Vegas series. I didn’t know he was that good at hitting.

He’s full of it. Pietrangelo had a far, far worse slash (on the hands) of Drai and got 1 game.

When’s the last time you saw a major for a penalty for a slash to the shin pad/foot? That’s why Nurse was standing over him calling him a f’in [kittycat]

[sdaltons]

Just saw a clip of that Nurse slash. Yikes.

[thegibby.]

Oil may have won 5 of the 6 periods so far; but with Skinner in nets all it takes is one bad period (he implodes like no other). he's that bad (reminds me of Martin Jones). next game is huge; obviously. Dallas better start showing up 5 on 5.

[Spyro Gyra]

Yikes, indeed. Targeted with intent to injure. Bush league move, from a bush league defenseman.

No oilers fan here, but that was a love tap. Ridiculous they even reviewed.

He intended to injure him and then injured him …. Then knowing he intentionally injured him stood over him repeatedly calling him an f’in [kittycat]

That’s what you truly believe?

Guys take slashes like that and worse often in these games.

Thats almost funny. You just spent the first two pages of this thread creaming over them, then betting money, then creaming over McJesus.

but not a fan

With hindsight, I think he should have gotten the five minutes, but no suspension. The slash may have fractured one or more of the bones in his foot's instep.
Unlike Petrovaginalo's slash on Draisaitl, this was not cold and cowardly. This was a heat-of-the-moment response ( yes- a vicious response) to a solid crosscheck from behind by Hintz.

Draisatl was helping the Oil tie the second round series in Game four when he was crippled as he looked for an empty net goal with a 4-1 lead ,

In the ten playoff games thus far, he had scored 13 goals with five assists,. He was held pointless in the last two games as the Knights never lost another game that series.
Never getting out of the second round, Draisaitl's 13 goals still tied for the most in the entire 2023 playoffs.

They already have been with late hits and sticks. The last thing the stars need is being on the pk because they are getting worked at ES

[Cardsfanforlife]

Stars are cooked, oilers cup

[Harry York 37]

...freakishly gifted.

[MikoTython]

Hockey is a strange game.

KK, our waiver bait, scores big play-off goal, shares the ice w/ McJesus.

McJesus not saved ! Dallas kicked while they're up.
