Haven't watched NHL hockey with a Canadian team on Canadian tv in the last 10 years have you?

well the oilers tried their hardest but in the end they just aren't good enough.

Agreed. I don't even care that a blown call got it to OT. This is karma at its finest.

Actually 3 minutes and 16 seconds. Gotta make sure we're statistically accurate.

And also biggest collapse in modern day NHL playoff history. As per the panel.

I don't think its a blown call at all, Calgary has had worse counted against them this year so if that's the standard.

LA pushed Elliott's pad into the net one game, Crosby hits Elliott's glove, guy over 6 feet tall tips a puck shoulder high ect.

get over it you whiners, should never have been in that position

Allow 64 shots and don't even crack 40 yourself and then blame it all on the refs

To be even more statistically accurate, 3 goals allowed in 3 minutes and 1 second. Beautiful, just beautiful.

That was extremely enjoyable. I thought you could make a good case for goaltender interference on the tying goal but really the Oilers had no business being in the game anyway. They way they are playing right now simply isn't good enough as it's just like the Habs in that they basically hope for their goaltender to bail them out because they aren't good enough to beat a team head on.

schadenfreude is all I have and it feels good.

What a beautiful evening this turned out to be. Once the Oilers went up 3-0, I think most of us were convinced it was over at that point. Kudos to the Ducks for snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Getzlaf is a beast. When he's on his game, he's arguably the best player in the league. Oilers have no answer for him.

A goalie stealing multiple 35+ shot games after playing 70+ is ridiculous and eventually it just has to come back the other way.

Also there are supposed to be (several) steps to contention, not 29th place to conference finals. Eff that noise, that kind of jump is not normal. And I'm glad some force greater than us came to its senses and the Ducks smartened up and brought what they're capable of.

This was overdue, but I'm glad that that long awaited adversity finally is rearing its head on those big talkers up north. They've had their treat season. It's time to get back to reality..

Man, at this stage im fine with the ducks winning the cup. Getlaf has been conn smythe material basically every game of the playoffs so far . If he can keep it up it would be epic.

Don't blame you for being ticked off tonight, so I'm not going to get in a spat with you. Just thought they could talk about the goal for 5 seconds before bashing the calls/non-calls. Again.

That would be one goal every 1.00333 minutes. That's pretty terrible.

[AT77]

Oh the bittersweet pain/feeling those ducks fans who left early must feel right now...

[dash_pinched]

Well, I enjoyed the 'Miracle on Manchester' back at the Fabulous Forum in 1982, but this game tonight definitely tops it.
