2000h Oilers at Ducks

[GioforPM]

Go Panthers, Ducks, Sens, BJs, Canes, Caps, Habs and, of course, Lightning.

[Nsd1]

2-0 Capitals over the Jets. Ovechkin with a goal.

Canucks also down 2-0 to the Canadiens

[Jacks]

Carolina with 4 against on 12 shots, should have kept that Ayres guy

[hwy19man]

Go Panthers, Ducks, Sens, BJs, Canes, Caps, Habs and, of course, Lightning.What about go Blues?

[hwy19man]

The Canucks were down 2-0 and have come back to tie it at 2-2 in the second period. The stinkin' Leafs lead 4-2.

[Textcritic]

What about go Blues?

Why?

[BigBird]

Toffoli with the gwg

[GioforPM]

Shaping up ugly. Go ducks,

[Textcritic]

Shaping up ugly. Go ducks,

I don't care. The Flames beat the Bruins.

[Erick Estrada]

How many times this season have the Canucks given up 40+ shots? I'm not sure that's conducive to winning long term.

[BigBird]

How many times this season have the Canucks given up 40+ shots? I'm not sure that's conducive to winning long term.

Yeah keep on winning though.

[Toonage]

Does any team blow more 2 goal leads than the Habs?

[trackercowe]

I hate you Principe. With every fibre of my being. Where are those Sportnet budget cuts when you need them?

[Barca]

6 points in 3 games for Toffoli.

Canucks keep rolling.

Ottawa next victim :cool:

1232499390646046721

[WhiteTiger]

Good lord, Principe is a homer.

[GioforPM]

Still like the Anaheim anthem singer.

[MrMike]

Jets lose in a shootout to the Caps

[Robo]

Wtf was principe talking about there

[GioforPM]

Wtf was principe talking about there

You could ask that every single game.

[Textcritic]

6 points in 3 games for Toffoli.

Canucks keep rolling.

Ottawa next victim :cool:

1232499390646046721

It's better this way. It will make the inevitable fall all that much more enjoyable.

[djsFlames]

14-15 flames-esque seasons for both the canucks and oilers this year. Everything going right for inexperienced squads with no track record. Crazy stats, timely goals. The works.

Law of averages will bring its hammer down on them before all is said and done though. Just like it did for those Flames.

[WhiteTiger]

14-15 flames-esque seasons for both the canucks and oilers this year. Everything going right for inexperienced squads with no track record. Crazy stats, timely goals. The works.

Law of averages will lower its hammer on them before all is said and done though.

That's the thing that gets me. EVERYTHING is going so right for the Coilers, including some incredibly obvious help from the refs...and they are still 'in the fight' for a playoff spot, and not running away with it. Any other team gets the help that they do, and they'd likely be running away with the division.

[djsFlames]

The Oilers I'd say have more experience than these Canucks. This iteration of their core has had to endure some trials after falling out of the playoffs in '17 and had to learn how to play hard for a full season and avoid the mid season fall off. Credit is due.

The nucks results are a little harder to buy into. Especially when their spring chickens are just scoring at will.

HOWEVER the Oilers specials teams have been absolutely ridiculous and are absolutely propping them up. It's an aberration to not be falling much closer to 20% on the PP this late in the year.

That's something that is bound to come back to earth, even if it's not until next season.

The lack of adversity, lack of slumps on both sides smells very off. Usually reality slams those kind of "seasons of destiny" hard in the end to remind you that it's not actually that easy in this league.

[GioforPM]

Hahahahahaha haha haha. What a stupid goal.

[WhiteTiger]

1-0 Ducks!

[Robo]

Wow oilers just standing around

[Robo]

Great d by green here wow

I don't recall the 14/15 flames team having a Mcdavid, Draisaitl, Pettersson, Hughes, Markstrom, Boeser on those teams though.

lots of miraculous 3rd period comeback wins that team had.

the Canucks and Oil are blowing teams out for the most part with elite PPs.

[TheIronMaiden]

My nice play Green.

[Robo]

Oilers powerplay goal coming up I guess

I'd consider the large amount of injuries they have dealt with adversity.

[Redrum]

Cue the free PP for the Oilers.

[WhiteTiger]

"As everyone knows, the Oilers have the #1 power play in the league. You get that by scoring more goals than anyone else on the power play."

No s***. These announcers...

[Textcritic]

I'd consider the large amount of injuries they have dealt with adversity.
No.

[fire_starter]

Cue the free PP for the Oilers.

No thats usually at the end of a game when the officials realize theyre down a goal.

[motorcrosser]

C'mon ducks.

It was another form of good fortune. Just different kinds for the oil and nucks this year.

Cinderella seasons come in different forms for mid rebuild teams. Believe me sir, it's not that easy for young clubs to waltz in and insta-contend.

You're not going to blow out your way to a finals.

Best advice is stay humble. These seasons with exciting young players can end extra heart breaky when experience starts to reveal its advantage.

[timbit]

Missing the playoffs 12 of the last 13 years is adversity.

You haven’t dealt with that so well, over the years.

[WhiteTiger]

2-0 Ducks

[GioforPM]

2-0. Edmonton’s D is horrific.

[Robo]

Nice

honestly, i just want us to make the playoffs again and have the city jacked up.

I want to see a next gear in Petey, Hughes, Boeser etc that we never seen before.

any success in the playoffs is just bonus to me.

[Barca]

the Canes got embarrassed with their new additions.

hopefully the Oil get blown out tonight lol.

[timbit]

ZERO awareness by Nurse
Bear, soft as puppy poop.

2-0.

[midniteowl]

That's fair!

Being in the dance is way more fun than not.

[djsFlames]

Wasn't Remenda going on and on about how Bear was soooooo good in this league last game?

Looks like Bears poop too.

[Redrum]

Missing the playoffs 12 of the last 13 years is adversity.

You haven’t dealt with that so well, over the years.

But that adversity is kinda neutralized by having so many 1st overalls that the league changes the rules JUST for you, so you don't get anymore 1OAs. Then those rules proceed to land you a franchise player.

[GranteedEV]

I don't recall the 14/15 flames team having a Mcdavid, Draisaitl, Pettersson, Hughes, Markstrom, Boeser on those teams though.


Lance Bouma gave us better goaltending than Markstrom has given you guys. And he was sniping snipes on slappers from 30 feet.

[flamingred89]

2 periods to go, but the Ducks up by 2. And this is after we had to hear about the Oilers winning the deadline and might never lose again.

[afc wimbledon]

To have another riot? :D

Papa needs a new TV

[dino7c]

The best part about the Canucks/Oilers amazing miracle seasons is that they aren't even that good. I mean everything has gone right for the Oilers and they have ONE more point than the Flames who have had an awful season overall.

[djsFlames]

2 periods to go, but the Ducks up by 2. And this is after we had to hear about the Oilers winning the deadline and might never lose again.

When the Leafs can pick up John Tavares for free to compliment Matthews, Marner and Nylander and go on to lose to a zamboni driver, you can't get ahead of yourself when it comes to acquisitions.

Just

Saying.

[midniteowl]

2 periods to go, but the Ducks up by 2. And this is after we had to hear about the Oilers winning the deadline and might never lose again.


Plenty of time for the refs to gift the Oilers power play times. Betcha they'll get one within the first 2 minutes of period 2. :blink:

[Hockey]

How many times this season have the Canucks given up 40+ shots? I'm not sure that's conducive to winning long term.

It’s their winning model this year. Get outshot every game but find a way to win.

[GranteedEV]

The Randy Carlyle Special

[Bend it like Bourgeois]

ZERO awareness by Nurse
Bear, soft as puppy poop.

2-0.

I hope someone has a gif of that goal.

6.5m and Nurse looked like a bad peewee player.

[Robo]

But mike smith stops it... clearly goes wide

[GioforPM]

2 on 0. Ducks should have buried.

[Nsd1]

2-1 Florida with 11 minutes left in the third

[Robo]

I hate draisaitl he seems like such a d bag

[GioforPM]

I hate draisaitl he seems like such a d bag

He didn’t cause it but absolutely no concern for a hurt player.

[Johnny Makarov]

He didn’t cause it but absolutely no concern for a hurt player.

German youth program training.

[Robo]

He didn’t cause it but absolutely no concern for a hurt player.

None and a nice stick wack when he was already down

[GioforPM]

Crap. Ennis scores

[Robo]

Dammit

[direwolf]

Ducks are gonna blow this, aren't they. They're brutal this year.

[CaptainCrunch]

I hate draisaitl he seems like such a d bag


Yeah, unlike Tkachuk, Draisaitl is a coward that will never answer the bell.

[Barca]

To have another riot? :D

if it means we make it to the finals again! lol :D

[hwy19man]

Why?The reason is that go BJs over the Wild. The Blackhawks are just behind the Wild and both are trying to catch the Flames.

[dissentowner]

Florida wins. Taylor Hall breaks in with seconds left with a clear shot and decides to try and pass through a defender instead. That is just another example of why I don't want any part of him. Just not a smart hockey player.

[hwy19man]

Bobrovsky earned his pay cheque as the Panthers played hang on. Florida wins 2-1 in regulation time.

[Rejean31]

Did the Oilers win the Stanley Cup when Ennis scored. I could swear by the call of Quinn that they surely must have won the Cup. What an idiot that guy is!!

[flamingred89]

Somebody must’ve wronged Mcavi before the intermission. Remenda and your whiness seemed perturbed.

[Rejean31]

Getzlaf gets 2 minutes for having the gall to put his stick within 2 feet of McAvi.

[WhiteTiger]

Haha. At least Principe waited until the second question to ask the new guy what he thinks of playing with McJesus.

[flamingred89]

I didn’t realize Ennis is the second coming of Lemieux.

[BigRed]

can someone explain "mcavi?"

[Macindoc]

can someone explain "mcavi?"



No D

[WhiteTiger]

Since McDavid and Draisaitl almost comically refuse to any defensive work, CP decided that they are the No D's....thus, McAvi and Raisaitl

[WhiteTiger]

Oh look, an Oiler PP and a Raisaitl goal...so surprise...much shock...

[Rejean31]

Oilers getting their usual help from the officials again I see.

[dissentowner]

Bettman sure wants the McDavid in the playoffs huh

[Hockey]

Look at that...Oilers get a penalty. Is that ref gonna get fired now?

[TheScorpion]

I don't believe half the players on this Ducks powerplay are real.

[TheScorpion]

The talent disparity between the Oilers and Ducks is astounding. I have no idea how this thing is tied, this Anaheim team is so bad.

I'd like the Flames to sign Ennis in the summer. He reminds me of Versteeg.

[WhiteTiger]

Yes! 3-2 Ducks!

[TheScorpion]

Wow, I didn't see that coming. Nice!

[Scrambler]

Don't think I have ever cheered so loud for a Ducks goal.

[GioforPM]

Meh, outside of two-three players for Edmonton it’s pretty even.

Goal Ducks!!

[GranteedEV]

San Diego Gulls are going Harlem Globetrotters on The Anointeds

[Rejean31]

Beauty defensive work by Raisatl there!!

[TheScorpion]

Darn it.

Really nice play by Ennis, but that's a shame.

[GioforPM]

Ennis is not bad. AA has been invisible until that tap in.

[direwolf]

Stupid Oilers score again. 3-3.

Awful goal by Gibson.

[dino7c]

Lol what a fluke...Ducks need to play till the whistle though.

[flamingred89]

How is a team this lucky??

[foshizzle11]

So lucky, it’s getting annoying.

[WhiteTiger]

Oilers PP any time now...

[direwolf]

So lucky, it’s getting annoying.

Yea, it's baffling how that garbage roster continues to pull points out of their arses. This truly is the darkest timeline.

[TheScorpion]

That sure looked like a trip to me...

[Rejean31]

Refs refuse to call anything on the leagues media darlings!! Clearly should have been tripping call on the Oiler defenceman in the last minute.

[dino7c]

Why did the Ducks stop playing...idiots

[direwolf]

OT. Get ready for 5 full minutes of McAvi and Raisaitl.

[TheScorpion]

Wow, that's a huge dive LOL

[Kipper is King]

Good job, McTripvid

[WhiteTiger]

W.T.F...

MCAVI's gotten a PENALTY in OT? What alternate universe is this?

That ref will be in the unemployment line tomorrow morning.

[dissentowner]

Omg, McDavid got a penalty? Wtf..

[GioforPM]

Hooray. Oilers lose.

[TheScorpion]

Draws the penalty, scores the winner. Nice.

[WhiteTiger]

Yeah, Ducks! Woo!

[Gaskal]

Suck it Coilers

[flamingred89]

Oilers flukes their way into a point. Thank you ducks.

[GioforPM]

Ducks win trade deadline

[looooob]

Adda boy sonny!!

[dino7c]

Well the Oilers fluked out a point, glad it was just one

[Five-hole]

Wow, what a day. Flames beat up on the best team in the league and the Oilers lose to one of the worst.

[djsFlames]

McAvvvviiiiiiiiii.

[looooob]

3 stars of course lol

[trackercowe]

Oilers lose get first and second star. Tradition

[TheScorpion]

Oilers lose but they get the first two stars... typical.

[flamingred89]

Hahaha Oilers lose. Top 2 stars are Oilers.

[dissentowner]

Haha,stupid McDonkey! Suck it Oilers!

[GioforPM]

Milano 2 goals, including winner, third star. New Oilers one goal one assist, first two stars.

[direwolf]

Lol @ Oilers.

Can't believe they still got a point out of that. So ridiculously undeserved.

[Rejean31]

Suck it team No Good!! Of course Oilers lose but get the first and second stars if the game. Ever so humble as always!! Losers!!!

[Jiggy_12]

I know the 3 stars is a subjective picking, but I would love to see their ratio of stars in their losses compared to other teams (in their own respective losses)

I’m sure there would be quite the disparity

[dino7c]

Still pissed the Ducks just handed them a point...why stop playing?!?! Play till the ####ing whistle

[CGY12]

AA 1 goal and 1 assist. Sounds about right. Did not watch a minute of the game to see how he looked otherwise but I'm still bitter he is on the Oil and not the Flames.

[GioforPM]

AA 1 goal and 1 assist. Sounds about right. Did not watch a minute of the game to see how he looked otherwise but I'm still bitter he is on the Oil and not the Flames.

His goal could have been scored by anyone. Literally pushed a puck in that was sitting behind the goalie.

Ennis was far better.

[djsFlames]

Still pissed the Ducks just handed them a point...why stop playing?!?! Play till the ####ing whistle

Nothing to play a hard 60 for, paired with the obligatory Oilers PPs.

I do appreciate them doing enough to put 4 past Smith for the W, which only required 20 shots.

[CGY12]

His goal could have been scored by anyone. Literally pushed a puck in that was sitting behind the goalie.

Ennis was far better.

Interesting, I still think the trade will pay off big time for them. More so than Ennis. I see Mcdoofus is paired with both new comers.

[GioforPM]

Interesting, I still think the trade will pay off big time for them. More so than Ennis. I see Mcdoofus is paired with both new comers.

Of course they put them both up there. It’s totally on brand. AA was invisible the whole game even playing with McDavid. Of course, they triple shift McDavid so he plays with everyone anyway.

I think the trade will pay off the same way as all their other ones. The new guy might get points off of McDavid. But in the end the same number of goals will be scored by the team as before.

[FireGilbert]

Haha Oilers.

Oh man the Yotes are screwed. They need to go to 10-6 just to hit 90 points. Good thing they lottery protected their first.

[The Yen Man]

I can see why Crysaitl has such bad plus mjnus despite having 100 points. The guy is so bad in his own zone. He just coasts and doesn't even check anyone hard. Guy is the ultimate floater.

[CGY12]

Of course they put them both up there. It’s totally on brand. AA was invisible the whole game even playing with McDavid. Of course, they triple shift McDavid so he plays with everyone anyway.

Disagree, I think AA has top 6 ability (skill and speed) and will provide them the legit winger they've been looking for to flank McDavid. I've been big on him for the last couple years but I get the narrative of the board when it comes to the Oilers.

[Manhattanboy]

The Oilers are such an embarrassment. The whining about the call was off the charts.

They get gifted calls every game it seems.

[Tsawwassen]

Final scores
https://scores.nbcsports.com/nhl/scoreboard.asp?day=20200225
http://sportsstats.cbc.ca/news/NHL-Recap-Roundups.aspx?date=02-25-2020



The good: Coyotes and Blackhawks lost in reg time
The bad: Jets and Oilers each get a point
The ugly: Canucks, Predators, Wild, and Leafs all won

[GioforPM]

Disagree, I think AA has top 6 ability (skill and speed) and will provide them the legit winger they've been looking for to flank McDavid. I've been big on him for the last couple years but I get the narrative of the board when it comes to the Oilers.

I was interested in him as well - he checked a box (speed). However, any points he gets have McDavid inflation on them (see Maroon, Chiasson, Neal, Kassian...). AA has speed for sure. He is also apparently a horrible defensive player, and that's also on brand for the Oilers.

He's a RFA with arbitration rights. They will overpay. he will settle into a mediocre player. There's a reason Detroit marketed him over the many other RFAs they have to sign.

I happen to think he won't mesh that well with McDavid. He likes to race down the wing with the puck - that's McDavid's job. He has tunnel vision and doesn't seem to use linemates much. McDavid needs a guy who can din open ice, settle into a spot and finish what McDavid starts. Ennis has a much better chance of sticking on a line with McDavid IMO.

My overall point, however, is that there's only one puck and, if AA gets 20 on a line with McDavid, how's that different than Chiasson getting 20 on a line with McDavid in 2018-19? Or Kassian having 15 this year?

[Erick Estrada]

The Oilers are such an embarrassment. The whining about the call was off the charts.

They get gifted calls every game it seems.

Draisaitl and McDavid are the two biggest whiners in the league. If they make the playoffs it's going to be unbearable watching them complain about every little thing that doesn't go their way.

[OldSam]

I loved how McPerfect said he wasn't going to raz on the refs and then did exactly that. And WTF Tippett? Compares the OT trip to all that stuff everyone does to his prize player throughout the game. The cases of soothers they must go through in that organization!!

Just a thought. With the new players getting top billing with McPerfect, did Holland forget that Keeper of the Code and all round super nice guy Kassian will be back soon? Who will he play with now?

[foshizzle11]

Can anyone find a clip of the McDavid penalty in OT? I stopped watching and missed, doesn't seem to be on the highlight clips of the game I watched, which seems weird to me.

[Weitz]

1232683131506810882

I don't complain about reffing as its bad everywhere so it goes around and comes around. Soft call if you ask me though.

[dash_pinched]

Shannon is such a shill for the Oilers...Also, they lost the game John, are you sure Holland was smiling?!?

1232536868891373570

[foshizzle11]

ya, that was pretty weak for sure. oh well, suck it Oilers!

[Erick Estrada]

I've seen McDavid go down easy plenty of time this season drawing penalties so turnabout is fair play. If he doesn't like it then maybe he should stop diving himself.

[Samonadreau]

Mcavi gets a penalty and cue Oilers media meltdown.

[dieHARDflameZ]

It’s amazing to me how quickly their media and players forget all the soft calls McDavid has drawn over the years.

I mean that penalty shot he got when Wideman didn’t even touch him was laughable. Tippett and McDavid’s comments were embarrassing on every level.

[CGY12]

I was interested in him as well - he checked a box (speed). However, any points he gets have McDavid inflation on them (see Maroon, Chiasson, Neal, Kassian...). AA has speed for sure. He is also apparently a horrible defensive player, and that's also on brand for the Oilers.

He will settle into a "mediocre" player and score 20 goals a year in your opinion? Those 2 things don't add up. Listen I get the fact that the Oilers can do no right in the majority of this boards eye, but they acquired a 25 year old with speed/skill, that is an RFA, that can be slotted on the wing of either Draisaitl or Mcdavid, who has shown he can produce at a high level in the NHL. I will bet he scores 30+ next year if healthy on the wing for either Mcdavid or Draisaitl.

[TheIronMaiden]

For a team whose success is directly corelated to their power play, they sure do whine about officiating a lot.

[topfiverecords]

I've seen McDavid go down easy plenty of time this season drawing penalties so turnabout is fair play. If he doesn't like it then maybe he should stop diving himself.

I've seen every Oiler go down easy plenty of time this season drawing penalties so turnabout is fair play. If they doesn't like it then maybe they should stop diving.

[Weitz]

Oilers get all the calls... Meanwhile Oilers are 18th in the league in penalties drawn and 14 behind the flames. 15th in the league in net penalties at +4.

[TheIronMaiden]

Oilers get all the calls... Meanwhile Oilers are 18th in the league in penalties drawn and 14 behind the flames. 15th in the league in net penalties at +4.

Penalties don't equal power plays.


The Oilers have had 186 power play oportunities in 63 games ( 18th)

The Flames have had 184 in 64 games (19th)

https://www.foxsports.com/nhl/team-stats?season=2019&category=SPECIAL+TEAMS&group=1&time=0

[Weitz]

So you agree then? Great!

[Samonadreau]

Muzzin out at least 4 weeks with broken hand last night per Pierre Lebrun

[TheIronMaiden]

So you agree then? Great!

Agree that what? That a team that is just below the league average on powerplay oportunities has no business whining about officiating. Especially when they are way below the league average (8th) in terms of times they have to go short handed?

[djsFlames]

Oilers get all the calls... Meanwhile Oilers are 18th in the league in penalties drawn and 14 behind the flames. 15th in the league in net penalties at +4.

They don't get all the calls.

However, McDavid has drawn countless penalties for simply being touched, sometimes not even.

Basically you guys don't really have grounds to complain about it going the other way now and then. Phantom tripping calls happen to all of us.

Be thankful for a point. You got that PP that helped get you to OT to begin with.

I don’t complain about reffing (or try my best not to) because as I said what goes around comes around. I’m just poking fun at the narrative that’s around here every time the oilers play.

And yah I’m happy with the point. The first half of the game was about the worst they have played in months.

If we don't have blind unsubstantiated hatred for the Oilers, then we have nothing.

They are the biggest whiners in the league. Homerism aside even you have to agree no? That whole Tkachuk and Gio thing was a total embarrassment for the organization.

You can have your opinion. I don't share it. I'll agree Edmonton media is terrible though.

We have an actual NHL team. That's not nothing. You're thinking of Edmontonians.
