-Buzzsaw- Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Edmonton does need to get it done this year. They are not a young team anymore. They are a team with players either in their prime or getting older. Eckholm is 34... he is the key to the Edmonton D... how good is he going to be next year? Nugent-Hopkins is 31... so is Hyman. McDavid and Draisaitl are both in their prime age wise at 27 and 28, but Drai has taken such a beating over the years... he always seems to come into the playoffs injured... this year the exception... who knows if he will be healthy next year? McDavid had injuries last three years in a row. He also could be getting fragile. Their supporting cast is also getting older... questions there. Maybe best chance this year.

They already made the schedule and it would have only been 3 days off if it went to game 7. I prefer both teams resting and healing up then giving their absolute best in the ScF. No need to rush things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I hope Florida physically kills Edmonton, as Dallas didn't do enough of that and Vancouver had success with that early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer English Bay and Spanish Banks in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty English Bay has become a trash pit in recent years, Spanish Banks is still nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather Crysaitl not have time to get over his owie and have to play the series while in agonizing pain. 6 days off is as soft as McDiver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shut down NY and NY had the hottest PP in the East. Edited June 3 by -Buzzsaw- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, why not give nux a 8 day break after first round so they are fresher for round 2? Maybe Demko would be back in time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, it’s only 5 days off and again, would have been 3 if it went to game 7 and travel to Florida is almost as long as it gets, makes absolute sense. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying if the refs want to take that away then they'll be in trouble because that's how Oils won their last 3 rounds so far. And like all the teams the oil have faced so far, they'll have to decide if they think their pk can contain the oilers PP. If they think they can, they can keep playing with that edge. If not, they'll have to adjust their game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Buzzsaw- Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Sad to say... but I suspect there will be a riot in Edmonchuck if the Oil don't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m physically sick. Yes, I was on record on the old forum as saying Oil should win a Cup with this guy.... Of course, they may fall short... but it would have been a result of their poor management, not from lack of good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
