A certain unnamed player who plays a decent amount of each game has been pretty bad this series, and arguably the other series a bit. We all know who it is. We need big home game wins back to back. Bring the Battle of Alberta fire to our line, come on boys..!!!!
Totally agree Holloway over Yamamoto if he's a scratch on Saturday. I'd even scratch Kane out if all he's gonna do is draw penalties. He's great when he's hot but a soon as he gets emotional all he does is wind down the clock and risk getting even further behind. Then Nurse cross checks a player for no reason…. Av's were so much more disciplined tonight and Edmonton intentionally trying to hurt others is just BS. You wanna win, Oilers? Quit with all the dumb no look passes and panic clearing attempts. Get some confidence and try to enter the zone with some back up behind ya. Most of the game the Av's were all ready to grab the dump in and easily passed the puck to a player behind your D tonight!
TSN radio this morning: "Teams that win the first 2 games of a Conference Final Series win the series 93% of the time." … Playing (injured) Nurse is helping to beat the Oilers. Dress someone else and play Nurse way less and take your chances.
I still believed in them. We can give all our supports ,cheer for them.. constructive criticism to help and make them realize their mistakes.. but this game is 100% is on them. No ones gonna help them but themselves. They have to get back to work. Avs indeed a different animal to deal with.
Well Oil country the beard came off after tonights game taking one for the team, beard wasn't working in the third round had to change things up we can't drop another game here. This team just loves to implode on itself, I've notice this trend since Woodcroft has taken over, he likes to leave the group out that has scored or been scored upon, asked a coach in jr one time why he always made a full change after a goal for or against and he said because I don't want guys out there thinking about the goal they just gave up or scored, wanted guys on the ice that were 100% focused. This team is so unfocused after scoring or being scored upon, it is completely unacceptable to be scored on as many times as this team as been in 15-30 sec stretches, we've seen it time and time again tie a game up get scored on the next shift this isn't a one off thing this is a troubling pattern that's going to cost us the series.
The only way Holloway is going to make a difference if he's in the top 6 just simply putting him in the lineup to make a lineup change in the bottom 6 where he's going to get 6 mins a night if he's lucky isn't going to make a difference, if Yammo's out I'm sure we just see JP back in the top 6, yes Makar started in the playoffs but that was round 1 not 3 games into the conference final. The question needs to be asked is Nurse helping right now or is he doing more harm, he's the one D that stands out for having the most problems with the Aves speed right now. The boy's are going to need to being the battle level up, to a man they were on the wrong side of the puck all night and didn't want to put the effort in to get on the right side of it, lots of cheating tonight hoping a puck bounced past there guy instead of making sure it did. I hated when a team starts showing signs of life via frustration in the last 2 mins, where was that energy, passion, emotion in the first 58 mins.
Two minute downhill slide after Nurse gave up the puck to an intense AVS team. He is not playing at the level he is capable of. Rusty should be in.Smith did all he could. Oil look three steps behind the AVS . I expect Woody will make more adjustments and I hope the Bison King gets a wake up call. No finish and still not the effort required. I have not witnessed an AV in the lineup that is not firing on all cylinders . If Yamo is out then Halloway ,shore and or Brassard need to be in. AVS are entering the zone easily without fear. Too easy. Time for the boys to play at the level they can. Keep the vids rolling and go oil
We haven't lost 3 straight under Woody so there is a little silver lining. I think we can definitely bounce back if the Oil find thier game. Go Oilers Go!!!
I don't know why everybody's solution is change this change that. Ill use the = seasoning of a baseball or goalie glove, As an example, That oil needs a little bit of time to soften up that leather
I'm a Colorado fan,but I think that was very fair analysis. Wouldn't be over at 3-1,but winning 3 straight,2 in Denver,& at altitude isn't likely. We are now 35-4-4 at home, against everybody except St Louis.(2-3-0 vs them). I think Edmonton will be much better at home,& will probably win game 3. But so far,my pre series prediction is coming true,I believe.
As I said,Oilers clearly have the 2 best players on earth,& probably the best "5 some" of forwards in the NHL. But Colorado is deeper at forward…our 2nd line is better than probably 20 teams 1st line. And the 1 mismatch in the series is on defense. Avs not only have the 2 best dmen in the series,but it's not even close. With Nurse clearly not 100%-Byram might be the 3rd best dman in this series,& even if Nurse was healthy-Byram would still be your most TALENTED defenseman,my opinion.
But I think your analysis was completely fair,& spot on. Game 3 is an absolute MUST for Edmonton,but really both games are. We still have a big advantage here in Denver,& Edmonton has to find a way to get 1 here. But if they make it 2-2,it's series on. Hopefully that won't happen…I'm not expecting to sweep Edmonton…I just want 1 in Alberta-more likely it'll be game 4. But we will see what happens,a lot can change quickly.
Well that's that I just want to say thank you to the Oilers for fun season done watching Nurse taking all my energy and excitement away. I need the energy to do my yardwork 😂 and Ty Patrick for a job well done see ya in October 👍
Why do you think bringing in Holloway is a recipe for success? He hasn't played an NHL game, no one knows how he'll look. It's a guess for success at best.
Okay I'm still saying that the Oilers will win game 6 to win the series vs Avalanche and Rangers will win game 7 over Tampa Bay lightning and the Oilers will win game 7 in the last minute with a goal by McDavid to win the Stanley Cup 💯🇨🇦

Oil need to pull off a Vegas
Totally agree Holloway over Yamamoto if he's a scratch on Saturday. I'd even scratch Kane out if all he's gonna do is draw penalties.

well the ride was nice while it lasted, no yamo and Kulak might get suspended for game 3 so that will be rough
Darrel Narse got tested and folded like a straw house. On the ice for 10/11 total goals for the avalanche this series
At this point, I just want a win in Edmonton. We can’t get swept
I still have hope! I'll never count our team out! Game 3 will be ours! 😊👍💙🧡

Agree… Sit Nurse, and play Russell or Broberg… Give Kulak more minutes. Play Holloway

I agree Holloway for archie
Oilers in 6!

This one hurt ,don't even know what say,I think the Oilers need to use 7 d men, Nurse is injured.
Mike Smith needs one of those strings like we had when we were kids to keep his mittens on! Connor looked shaken Post game!
We haven't lost 3 straight under Woody so there is a little silver lining. I think we can definitely bounce back if the Oil find thier game. Go Oilers Go!!!
Evander Koon is a goon. Oilers suck.
MacKinnon is light years better than McDavid.
You guys are fucked.
Refs take series lead 2-0
Like I said after game 1, Nurse sucks and Puljarvi is a waste of space.
Probably gonna get swept😬

Calgary ain't the Avalanche.

Discipline is a problem. Nurse takes dumb penalties and playing poorly. And how about the dumb penalty Kassain took while sitting on the bench.
if it comes down to the post game interviews the avs have it in 4.
McDavid will have to willpower it if the Oilers are to win. But we know he can.
leaf fan curious about oilers fans. realistic. i like it.
leaf fans would be making excuses and accentuation innocuous positives.
Avs vs Rangers final
