Well Panthers showing their true colors down 5-1

 

[MC74]

Bennett the cheap shot artist he is, delivers a cross check from behind.

 

[MC74]

Lay it in on thick, Oilers. Fuck the Panthers.

 

[Ancle Suck]

Well this was unexpected.

 

[MC74]

Well this was unexpected.

I hope this means the Oilers have finally managed to solve Bobrovsky, and the Panthers at large. That would be huge.

 

[canadaguy]

This game was a statement

 

[MC74]

Hopefully it gives the Oilers much-needed momentum to pull off a reverse sweep. Sometimes, you need a statement victory to set the tone.

 

[canadaguy]

McDavid now holds the record for most assists in a single playoff year.

Knocking off a record from Wayne Gretzky is a big fucking deal

 

[canadaguy]

He's currently 9 points off tying Gretzky for most points in a playoff year (47). Which is pretty much out of reach, but with games like last night, not completely unattainable.

Crazy thing is, Gretzky did it in 18 games!?

 

[Crystal]

This game was a statement

One for the fans before we head off to the links?

Kidding, kidding. Come on Oilers, reverse sweep these fucking Panthers.

 

[canadaguy]

Early short handed goal? I'll take that again!

 

[MC74]

Get another one, put this game away.

 

[canadaguy]

 

[MC74]

And another one
And another one
And another one

You get the point, bombard the shit out of them Edmonton!

 

[MC74]

An there's the makeup call. A Panthers player skates into Hyman and Hyman gets called for interference. Meanwhile, Bennett takes out Skinner and no call made.

 

[MC74]

Panthers back in the game. 1 more will tie it.

 

[canadaguy]

Oh God that play was the most dramatic empty net goal I've ever seen

 

[Crystal]

Oh God that play was the most dramatic empty net goal I've ever seen

It was an impressive save, thankfully McDavid put it away anyway

 

[MC74]

Game 6 back in Edmonton. You'd have to think momentum is on the Oilers side going back to home ice.

 

[canadaguy]

He's currently 9 points off tying Gretzky for most points in a playoff year (47). Which is pretty much out of reach, but with games like last night, not completely unattainable.

Crazy thing is, Gretzky did it in 18 games!?

With a 4 point night tonight, only 5 points off now.

 

[Ancle Suck]

Glad this series diverged from the NBA plotline.

 

[MC74]

Oh man, if Edmonton can successfully pull this off, what a kick in the balls it'd be for Gary Bettman. Please let it happen, I need it in my bones.

 

[MC74]

Pierre-Luc Dubois dealt to the Washington Capitals. Massive risk for the Caps trading for a guy who's been a problem everywhere he went.

 

[canadaguy]

Flames trade Markstrom to the Devils, so definitely going full rebuild now.

The albatross of that huberdeau contract though.....

Yup, sufficed to say, the Tkachuk trade unfortunately hasn't panned out well on Calgary's end. Shame to see he appears to be on a downward trajectory.

 

[canadaguy]

At a wrestling show with my son tonight so I won't have any commentary for the game this time

 

[Ancle Suck]

So I'm liking this game so far.

Hope you and canadaboy have a good time!

 

[Ancle Suck]

Looks like we'll be getting that game 7 in there.

 

[Crystal]

Looks like we'll be getting that game 7 in there.

Cup really doesn't want to go to the retirement homes in Florida.

 

[MC74]

I am absolutely awestruck. We got a game 7

 

[canadaguy]

All the pressure on Florida now

 

[MC74]

Win or lose, McDavid has to win the Conn Smythe, right?

 

[Ancle Suck]

Win or lose, McDavid has to win the Conn Smythe, right?

This would be one of those rare times where I think they might actually do it.

 

[MC74]

This would be one of those rare times where I think they might actually do it.

Considering he broke one of Gretzky's records, that's something that cannot be ignored.

 

[MC74]

Oh, if Edmonton can win game 7, it'd be the ultimate kick in the balls for Gary Bettman. Loses his precious Arizona Coyotes and Florida getting reverse swept by Edmonton in one fell swoop.

It'd be a glorious day for the sport.

 

[Crystal]

Please do it, Oilers. I need a good laugh.

 

[canadaguy]

Hope you and canadaboy have a good time!

We had a blast! It's a local promotion run by Bret Hart's sons, and runs in the same building Stampede Wrestling used to run back in the day, so lots of history and nostalgia (not that any of that means much to my son lol)

Bonus Bret Hart!

Only thing better would be if game 7 was in Edmonton. The boos for Bettman would be legendary

 

[canadaguy]

The ring announcer would keep giving score updates, and it was probably 60/40 boos to cheers. One guy I heard say he's cheering for the Canadian team but refuses to say he's cheering for Edmonton lol.

 

[canadaguy]

Lots of copium going around in Calgary right now. But like, we had Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Bennett and Monahan and pissed that all away for fuck all

Good, I'm glad you both had a great time, and that is so amazing that it operates out of the old Stampede ground!! It's a little extra tidbit for you, if not for your son, and hell yeah, it's awesome to see Bret there!!

Go Not Oilers but Oilers!

Ah, Boring Sean Monahan, loved that so much.

Yeah, Calgary had a promising core right there, but unfortunately the key pieces didn't want to stay. Gaudreau ended up leaving for Columbus and Tkachuk, following in his father's footsteps, made moves to get himself out of Canada.

Bwhahaha I didn't know Boring Sean Monahan was known outside of Calgary

 

[Crystal]

Bwhahaha I didn't know Boring Sean Monahan was known outside of Calgary

Oh absolutely! That was quite the rage in a couple of communities, perfectly encapsulated his persona

I remember an interview where someone showed him the account and he was just like "I find that funny"

Perfection, lol, absolutely classic Sean Monahan response

 

[MC74]

@Jon, @Advocate for A/C, you both dodged a bullet because it's been revealed that the Bruins & Habs were in on Pierre-Luc Dubois before he got dealt to Washington.
