This game reminded me so much of the 80s. Tell me if I misremember.
Gretzky cherry picked a lot from the opposition blue line and it looked like this team took a page right out of that book. A lot of those icings were meant to be negated by the forward that was just hanging around our blue line. Dallas had a similar approach with flipping the puck high and out while hoping they would catch the bounce.
I can't believe how shaky Kylington looked during this whole series.
For his size, I don't think Hanafin could knock even their smallest payers off the puck. He really lacked any intensity or urgency.
Pretty sad when Tanev looks like your best defender and he's as injured as he is.
For the most part, this was a fun game to watch. I was hoping other players would pick up on Backlund's effort.
The reason there was an Oilers Suck chant going on was because there were a lot more Oilers fans there and they had a pretty strong Let's Go Oilers chant going. Hard to change the Oilers Suck chant once it started
