Oil at Cats

[MiamiLaw]

Edmonton absolutely blew up tonight, and that's going to be hard to recover from.

To be that undisciplined in a game 3 in your second Stanley Cup final is hard to fathom.

I predicted Florida in 6 and tonight showed that it might actually be 5, but I'll stay say 6.

If Florida wins Wednesday, which I believe they will, it is all over for the Oil.

Idk we thought that last year. This Oilers team plays best when their backs are at the wall

They sure as hell did NOT demonstrate that with their play last night.

That's for sure. They got embarrassed.

The thing about a game like last night, especially when it got completely out of hand and the Oil took numerous cheap shots that weren't called, the refs will likely be far less lenient on Thurs as they and the NHL don't want another game like that. That last 10 minutes took a half hour because of all the scrums and penalties.

If Edmonton plays anything close to the same game, they will spend half the game in the penalty box. Teams don't go from being that undisciplined to taking no penalties very often.

Kane especially was completely unhinged last night. That was a masterclass in how NOT to play the pest in the playoffs.

Walman with his cheap shots will absolutely have the magnifying glass on him and anything that might be considered a penalty will more than likely be called on him.

Yea you guys saw a lot of Walman's antics on TV that we just didn't catch from the stands. Kane was being talked about a lot though.

I get the whole "sending a message from game 4" schtick, but at some point, either get back to playing hockey and try to mount your comeback, or just get the game over with.

I tell you what, even in garbage time scoring two goals in the last 5 minutes or so would have sent a far more effective message than doing, to quote Herb Brooks, what "looks more like a couple monkeys trying to hump a football to me"

I saw bits of it switching back and forth with the Cardinals game. Playoffs are a fist fight especially as you go deeper. That's why I don't see how Kyrou fits a winning team in the playoffs. Is there a Kyrou type player on either team?

Bouchard is closest, in my opinion. Tons of offensive skill, but not physically engaged and lacks a burning desire.
Kyrou does have a template named Holloway who can inspire him, so there’s that.
Both are woefully bereft of hockey IQ and make baffling decisions routinely.
Bouchard is an inch or two taller and a few pounds lighter.
He is a year or so younger than Kyrou and is looking for a deal that will be bigger.


It hurts me to watch either of them play in critical moments.
Both have World Class offensive tools and ten cent heads. And worst of all, perhaps ten cent hearts.

I would say Verhaeghe is as close as there is on Florida. Though their toolsets are not completely aligned.

Similar. Verhaege does get asssists.

The fact that their coaches let that happen does not bode well for the Oil. If it's one guy you sit him but when it is several you need to lay down the law- take a time out or hammer them on the bench.

Ya gotta lump the Captain in with the Coaches.
Is McDavid a leader for this team or is he just the Best Player in the World?
