LA wasn't an easy matchup for Edmonton, it went 7. The Oilers faced elimination twice and Draisaitl got injured. Not concerned about a 2nd round matchup. Getting there will build the confidence we need. EDM only managed to win by getting 2 blowouts. Apart from that, they were nothing special against a defensive team.

travel_dude Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 I laughed at Button on TSN. He made so much sense it was funny. PENS coach complaining about the player having to leave the ice when he lost his helmet. Sid saying something similar. Button says, you don't even know the rules. You lose your helmet, you can pik it up right away. Can't get involved until you do. PENS player whined to the ref and skated off. His helmet was 5 feet away. Know the rules.

I'm more concerned about who calls round 2. In normal BOA, we get Edwards and Louie in EDM and Ball/Cassie/Hrudey in CGY. We had Ball/Millen round 1. EDM had Singh/Louie in round 1. If we don't get Ball, then by god don't let Louie out of his house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see that? Loves Matthews and McD. I do like Simpson, very analytic. At least we get the attention of the SN brass. Big surprise, with SN owning the naming rights to Oil barn. Bigger reason (of course) is the Leafs are gone. Nothing against Singh. He was okay but is still working on his craft. Ball is fine, but him combined with Millen was painful at times. More with Millen. The panel has turned into a bunch of drivel. I like Bieksa, seems the best guy to talk about defense. Hrudey is a toad. Otter was the best goalie in the series, but the defense made his life easier. Friedman is level but sees things his own way. At last Ron McLean isn't doing anything. Botterill is fine, but a little intense. She does good analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave them a physical edge and allowed Draisaitl to play on McDavid's line full time. They are also better coached now so they are going to be a tough out.

Things they don't have: Oettinger Heiskanen Klingberg Lundell Suter Hakanpaa We just overcame a stellar goalie and a really good D core. 2 things the Oilers don't have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
