I don't think many goalies could make saves the way he did, over and over.

The easy shots were just that.

But he was deadly in close/

Doesn't matter if you hit his glove or blocker.

He was ready for it, tipped or not.

Saw two saves where he snagged it between two players in his grill.

 

Had they had Mike Smith in nets, it would have been over in 4.

I'm not saying that's what we do with EDM, since Dallas plays a completely different game.

Well structured, big defense that know the position.

The D joins the rush and is able to sidestep the defenders to get it on net.

When they defend the rush, they have layers of blocks.

 

 

 

But it's where, if I were Viagra, I would sponsor the NHL. The can't get it up saves of the games. I found we either shot over the net, or we shot mid down. He was great about 3 quarters of the net down.

Never been to a game 7 before, didn't think I'd be able to handle an overtime but I'm still alive.  What a game.

 

My only Game7 was Vancouver Vs Minnesota. It was still the best game I've ever seen!

Same here. What an evening.

 

Only playoff OT I've ever been to was ANA NSH in 2017. It's a ton of fun when you don't care who wins. When it's the team you cheer for... much different lol

I unfortunately haven't been able to follow as closely as some of you due to time difference.

I did catch this one though and my goodness I nearly had a heart attack.

 

Oettinger played genuinely spectacular. 

Markstrom made some huge saves when he needed to and the big guns came up big.

 

Looking forward to seeing a playoff BOA for the first time in my lifetime.

 

Ggs yall, catch you in game 1 🙂

I dunno, He has a bone to pick with the Flames. It really depends. The Depends save of the series? :P

 

Never say bone and Viagra in the same thread.

 

On a side note, let's bring Smith back some memories of the 9-5 beatdown.

Going say that this game was one sided and the Flames did deserve the W. I did have to take a moment to collect myself after wards. Its been a long road as a Flames fan to wrap your head around this. The next series should be good, I however absouletly hate the Oilers always have. Lets hope we can grind them down for the win get some bodies back to heal. Tanev will be required in this one, or at least a Dman with some speed on the back end. Stone, Gubranson and Zadorov will get danced unless they can put Mc baby through the boards.

Lucic has moved on.  He was slighted there.  It took some time for him to develop the healthy Oilers hate.  He's not about to run a player like McD, but he's not going to avoid contact.  You do what you need to.  If McD plays dirty the way he did against LA, then he is fair game.  Drai will see a lot of the boards, no doubt.

 

The thing about this series is that we need to play physical to draw them off their game, but slow down the speed to a grinding type.  Look for the seams and exploit them.  Pick off the Nurse passes because he doesn't see the ice, just one player.  Backlund needs to continue his stellar play from the last few games.  Good to see a full games of Coleman playing with him.  Mangiapane was actually playing much better when passes went to him or Coleman for the first strike.  Rebounds existed.

 

Get to Smith early.  Don't give him shoot-ins to get a chance to play the puck.  Put it in diagonal so he gets frustrated.  He will then come out  at the worst time to get a touch.
