Morphinity 2.0 Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 10 points in 4 games for Connor. WPG sucks, so this one will be a blowout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 2nd Iteration of a WHA rivalry. Oilers in 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I think the biggest story of this years playoffs is if McDavid is ready to do the things you do when you win the cup bc he obviously looked ready to score points all year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Fucking right, Jets take both games in Edmonton to go up 2-0. Good wake up call for the cocky Oilers who were thinking they'd steam roll the Jets after dominating them in the regular season. It's a whole other ballgame in the playoffs. Must-win game for Edmonton on Sunday. The Jets have done an incredible job of completely neutralizing McDavid and Draisatl which is a hell of a feat. I guess that's what happens in the playoffs when you've basically built your team around 2 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphinity 2.0 Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 How will the story read in Edmonton if they lose this series? And maybe even get swept? They've got major issues. Everyone knows their depth is atrocious, but McDavid and Draisaitl are so dominant that it almost doesn't matter. We're now seeing what it's like when they aren't able to contribute though.

BrooksBurner Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Oilers 4-1 lead in the 3rd down to 4-3. Might be a meltdown here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karan Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 The Oilers had the Jets completely on the ropes at 4-1 with 6 minutes left and now it's a tied game. What an incredible comeback. The Oilers have to be completely rattled now. Let's see if they have any mental strength to pull out a win here tonight. I would love to see this one go to OT.

Karan Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Very sketchy. And Smith looks like he can't stop a beach ball right now. Gotta put your money on the Jets riding this momentum and winning in OT. The Oilers look so damn frazzled right now. But that's the beauty of OT, one shot is all that it takes. And you can never discount the best player in the world.

Karan Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Jets take the game in OT. 3-0 series lead. Oilers done and dusted. That 4-1 lead is going to haunt them all summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Edmonton just pulled a 2013 Maple Leafs. IT WAS 4-1!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 McDavid and Draisaitl with 3 points each. Can't even say it was their fault like the first 2 games for being shut down. Have we ever seen a franchise with two talents as good as McDavid and Draisaitl fail so hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I guess one could see this coming. Questionable goaltending. Shoddy defense at best. And their offense is a two-trick pony that padded their stats heavily in a weak division and where the regular season is filled with tons of PPs, which is a strength of theirs. But come playoffs, tighter checking and not as many PPs, the Oilers weaknesses are completely exposed. Oilers fans might be on suicide watch tonight after that complete meltdown...

Flynn Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Man.. Edmonton looks like they are in dire need of a retool. I'll happily take McD or Draisaitl off their hands to hasten their retrofit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
