  1. Nurse taking a rest? He's been resting all season. Nurse 15 games 2 assists, -12…

    McCloud is a better winger than centre for his offensive upside.

  2. Dont blame Mcleod for what Mumford has done to the Team….retroactive growth….and yes they missed his speed, but they miss Gagners brains more. I see the Stars sweeping in Edmonton and then we better see Campbell in Dallas.

  3. As I see it, the Oilers have three things that Dallas does not have, and it is only through these things that the Oilers will beat Dallas. They are McDavid, Draisaitl, and their power play. If these three are not major contributors, they won’t win and so far we don’t have a power-play goal. And I’m assuming here that everything else is firing on all cylinders and everything else is a saw off, but that’s actually not the case… The other issue is when Dallas dumps the puck deep in our own end, we can’t handle the pressure. I think they should put Broberg in.

  4. Every time I see an East Indian in hockey on the broadcast it reminds me of how the East Indians hammer and hammer Don Cherry as a racist and it’s a constant reminder every time I see an East Indian in hockey such a scumbag way to get into the sport I would encourage y’all to pay it forward, show them the same love and respect they Shown, Don Cherry. We will Never forget you Don Cherry and what you stood for and what they did to get a foothold in the sport by eliminating you.

  5. Defense was horrible .I've seen more hits in a soccer game. Giving the puck away far far to many times. Nurse was awful Bouchard couldn't keep the puck in the offensive zone, counted at least 5 times. Have to be stronger in fights for the puck. I played hockey for over 30 years and have never seen anybody be able to shoot a puck through a goalie or the pads. Hit the net when you shoot. Oilers have to do a lot of work or its time for golf.

  6. It’s as if the Dallas strategy is to completely give us the first period to get us cocky and complacent and then they just turn it up in the last 40 minutes and throttle us. Exactly the same thing every game. So strange.

  7. Up to the players, yes, of course. But doesn't the GM have the most say on who those players are? Nurse is the worst +/- among all skaters in this NHL playoffs. The GM added Corey Perry who hasn't even played and no one is even discussing him. Why not add a D-man?

  8. Only way Edmonton wins series is if Dallas star players gets injured. Only reason why they beat Vancouver. They didn’t have Demko or Boesser.

  9. Dallas is making mistakes too. We see that the Oilers can win this. Stars are no doubt good but Oilers can win.

    Show the world; that you just want to win way more than them.

  10. Bob is a study in contrasts. Withering accurate in his on-air critiques but positive and encouraging in his post-analysis.

  11. Glad Leon is resting today, sluggish is too kind. He gets offensive spurts, but it’s white knuckle hockey if he’s defending.

  12. You said it spot on , defensive zone clearances WE HAVE TURNED it over several times which in the L A/ Vancouver and now Dallas series turned into goals that shouldn't happen at ALL !!!! ONCE never mind several times

  13. Oilers have no stopper. Not one line coach can throw out there and get the play going the other way.
    See how Benn charged down the ice after the opening second period faceoff? He’s the guy we need.

  14. I'm gonna come straight out and say it, We Need to get gagner in on someone's RW. He's the type of player that's gonna go out there and magic a goal for you, I understand that he got benched for a embarrassing error behind the net during the regular season, he was trying to get ahead of the play then and we made a bad change so his fumble had no outlet to go to anyway, double whammy play, he's not gonna make the same mistake now that he did then. Put him next to McLeod for a game, give it a chance

  15. Nurse with a maintenance day, he’s the last guy who needs a day off. Hopefully he gets lost trying to get to the arena and Broberg takes his spot lol

  16. Love the positive attitude in Bob & Tony! Like how Bob appreciate everything he does, literally enjoy the ride, oilers need to step it up a good 60 mins šŸ‘ I'm ready LFG boy's šŸ’Ŗ
