JeremyCuddles Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 A little late to the Edmonton drubbing, but I am loving this series. But this series and the last series also just really makes me mad we didn't close these bums out ourselves. They might be the worst finals team I've seen. I dunno if we beat Dallas or the Panthers, but we should have beaten Edmonton. This is gonna be a long summer of thinking about not being able to beat these goofs.

Fans in Vancouver and Dallas are wondering what the hell happened. I think in Vancouver's case too many injuries to key people, and simply not enough depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The move: - solidifies goaltending (good 1A & 1B with Skinner) - soldifies top 4 D (Bouch-Ekholm Nurse-Carlo Broberg-Kulak/Ceci/??) - Frees up Cap to: 1) Find FA scoring winger for McD 2) Fill out Bottom 6 with guys > vet min Final Roster: FA-McD-Hyman Kane-RNH-Holloway FA-Mcloed-FA Ryan-FA-FA Ekholm-Bouch Nurse-Carlo Broberg-Kulak Ceci Ullmark Skinner This team would actually scare me with the right coaching I don't think moving Draisaitl is a smart move. McDavid and Draisaitl can carry and drive their own lines. If you move Drai, now you're relying on RNH to carry his line with a sputtering Kane and an inexperienced albeit talented Holloway. Their PP would also take a major hit without Draisaitl. What makes EDM offence so potent is that other teams have to try and matchup against arguably 2 of the best offensive players on the planet right now. That's their strength. They need to build around it. Imagine if Crosby didn't have Malkin. You need that top end talent to win. Especially as the drivers of offence on lines 1 and 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am shocked at how Dallas performed. They are way deeper and were much healthier than us but lost in 6. I also think we only really had 1 major injury. It was Demko, but Silovs was enough to win. We lost Boeser really late, but we should have won in 6 imo. Gotta lose to learn how to win I guess. But I'd rather have lost to Dallas. Lol. Our window was widest this season. Until Lekkerimaki and Willander hopefully develop into prominent roles as cheap players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 You need your goalie to play lights out. Period. it's that simple. You also need a strong, stable D that can also block shots, sacrifice, and kill the attack. That's what it takes. It's your foundation. You can see how management is building our team in this regard along with heavy forechecking, special teams, and selective high danger opportunities. We're close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of he worst final teams ever, Florida (COL cup) and us in 1982. It's not over until it's over, at least we took that dynastic team to OT once.

You need your goalie to make the right saves at the right time, and be a top ten goalie that's about it. Don't need a goalie to stand on his head to win a cup, it helps but rarely happens, like expecting Markstrom and then Demko to do it in the bubble. Roy twice, Dryden once that's about it. And Tim Thomas. Edited June 14 by IBatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spook007 Posted June 14 Popular Post Share Posted June 14 I was never a coiler hater and never particular disliked them. Always hurt when you get eliminated and for a short time it stings. But the diving of this Oiler team, with all the skills and ability on it, really turned my stomach. in particular, when we had to endure the blindness of the commentry, and the blatant favouritism of a Canadian broadcaster towards one of the two teams. Its been quite a long time, since I enjoyed a teams misery as much as I've been enjoying the downfall of this lame arsed Oilers team, and all their pundit cheer leader... Enjoy the pain you lousy bunch of whiners... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto is a logical destination for him. He has less of a chance to win a cup in Toronto. I mean if he goes there then Matthews is probably gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
