He wins the soundbite award. So dryly nonchalant and self-deprecating. This one's a great, honest interview minus the chuckles of his media scrums: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted June 9 Author Report Share Posted June 9 One goal at even strength for Edmonton in their last three games. It came from Broberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nurse should have meme's of his mouth open in confusion while watching the replay of why they scored. That $9.25 is looking like an absolute nightmare. I kinda thought he'd come around, but seeing him a lot more now, that D-play is a train wreck. My reaction to poor plays is, "oh boy". It doesn't stop with that guy. He should do the George Costanza of do everything opposite of what he's thinking. Constantly making bad decisions with his coverage. Ceci isn't much better, but he's not $9.25. That contract has gone to Satoshi Nakamoto. He likely isn't even a top 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Nurse appears to be demoted. They've toyed with it at times during this playoffs but I wonder how much longer till they consider splitting up Ekholm and Bouchard. Dallas wasn't able to do it, but in game 1 I thought the Panthers (albeit in low quantities) finally exposed the lack of depth in the Oiler D.

Yet the talking heads have been handing out passes like free candy. He does not pass the eye test at all. If rumours are true, they wanted us to take back Ceci in a Tanev deal. Good job on the "No" Conny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broberg and Desharnais in the same game? Desharnais is only getting a shot because they were run over by FLA. Both are 7th D on a normal team.

They both battle for MDP, most douchiest person. Kane has always been all talk. Respect me because I think I am tough. Tkachuk has always been drive the other players to drink.

Gas-dick was removed from being a regular commentator. I can't believe he calls an elbow to the head as questionable and only as result of the injury. ilers believe they had their chances and didn't convert. I was watching a different game.

JTech780 Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Draisaitl should sit for game 3. That was extremely dirty, left his feet to elbow Barkov in the head. Just because Barkov has been outplaying McDavid and Draisaitl and shutting them down for two games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted June 11 Author Report Share Posted June 11 Draisaitl should be suspended but won’t be. Speculation purely, but he could have broke Barkov’s jaw, or concussed him. He missed almost half a period in a one goal game. There’s probably something there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I don’t respect the refs opinion all the time but they do know more about being an NHL official than the entire Sportsnet crew. Elliott has to text the NHL about questions of rules. Bieksa probably knows more but won't say. Ronnie isn't allowed by contract to talk about rules unless it's a meaningless game. Even if the call was a miss, it was about as close to a 50/50 at best. It's not a call you can challenge. No better or worse than a missed high stick that doesn't draw blood. The NHL should and will review the head shot. It was not accidental. He knew his elbow pas was headed towards the head. Whether I like or hate the player doesn't enter into it. They showed a clip where Draisaitl gave up on a shift and just skated to the bench then the room. There was nothing before it, just him whiffing on a dump in. He may be injured, but he sure looks healthy when things go his way. I laughed when McD and Tkachuk had a little dustup after the partial break. The linesman was between them, and you saw McD's stick blade in Tkachuk's face. Maybe there was good reason for it, but it looked like Tkachuk was just jawing before it.

rocketdoctor Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 How is Draisaitl not ejected for that elbow to the head? We have seen a lot less get a game misconduct. It is the inconsistencies that drive me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
