We get free grubhub membership with Amazon Prime in the US. It's variable across the US, but in NYC it's pretty good. All those immigrants provide excellent service. I'm usually generous with the tips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Thing about the Oilers is there's a lot working against them getting back to the final sooner than later. Not only would McDavid probably need to replicate his ridiculous numbers, but the Oil would need to replicate their special teams as well. Their PK in particular was nuts, Statmuse has their PK at 94.3 percent throughout the playoffs, a significant jump from their regular season total of 79.5 percent. Factor in the fact they scored 3 shorthanded goals and that suddenly looks even better. That's incredibly tough to replicate. Their PK was actually the best ever, for a cup finalist, if I'm not mistaken. https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/ask/highest-penalty-kill-percentage-in-season-in-history-of-nhl-playoffs https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/ask/highest-nhl-penalty-kill-percentage-playoffs-this-year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will, however, lose important pieces and see regression from the bottom half of the roster and goaltending. they'll also lose the magical feeling they caught in a bottle this year and have to manufacture some other talisman to build around. knoblauch will also be exposed. they're (almost) one and done I think.

The old adage is that defense wins championships, the PK is a large piece of any team's defense. Yeah, the Oil may have a powerplay that's on the higher end for as long as McDavid's around, but teams typically don't go deep without a good penalty kill. Draisaitl and McDavid's next deals are looming in the not too distant future too, will the Oil be able to piece together a group that can put on this kind of defensive clinic again? Goaltending is voodoo too, will Skinner be able to maintain a high level of play long enough to reach another final? Lot of things have to go right, the Oil were almost there and they had a lot go right, but they couldn't get it done. This was without a doubt their best chance to get a cup and they came up just short. I expect they'll be in the playoffs next season, and a playoff regular going forward as they have been, but I'd be surprised if they made the final again sooner than later.

Sophomore Jinx Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) While I'm glad that the Coil lost, I still am ambivalent about the cup being won in the state of Florida 3 times in the last 5 years, while entering our 55th and we have none...and I might be the only one who doesn't care or give a shit about 2011 tent folding, or 2007 "Potty Break" Luuuuuu Edited June 25 by Sophomore Jinx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand JT might accept the Smythe trophy, thank his teammates for going to war with him and say that this is a team award, and then vow to win Lord Stanley’s Cup next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
