Maroon getting away with a lot on that one. Maybe the refs dont like Perry.

 

[Calamari41]

oh the irony

It would be ironic if I said that the goal shouldn't have counted.

Nobody likes Perry.

 

[Ashhong]

This shit is depressing. This is why I don't root for teams and follow sports

So the high stick shouldn't of been a penalty and have the play stopped?

or is that not what you meant by high stick?

lol

oh the irony

Ive been lied to my whole life!

I thought he was a Good Guy ™

No, I was pointing out that it's easier to get an odd man rush going when an opposing player goes down from something like a high stick. I never said anything about a penalty being called.

ok <snicker>

Because the team I am rooting for is playing like shit and I can see the life drain out of their eyes. Hopefully they bring the energy back for the third period

 

[TimHortons]

The mics on the glass in Anaheim are way too sensitive.

 

[Calamari41]

ok <snicker>

I guess you guys really are sensitive about the image that you have as ref-whiners. Noted for future use.

Ah so you're a Ducks fan then? I got good news for you then. They'll probably win game 6 if the pattern for this series is any indication.

And our recent history guarantees us game 7, so there's no reason to worry

Unless the oilers pull what they pulled with the sharks and win another one after this game.

I'm not a huge hockey fan but I live like 5 miles from the Honda Center and have gone to a few games. It's hard to not get caught up in the playoff frenzy. Even if there's plenty of time and games left, my heart can't handle this kind of stress! I think I almost died during last year's NBA playoffs (was rooting for cavs)

 

[Calamari41]

In that case it's more likely than not that we will fail to advance.

I hear you. Hockey is especially nerve wracking because it is so fast, pretty much no lead is safe no matter how little time is left on the clock.

Ask kingslunk about that.

Games that bring out emotion is what it is all about.

lol Edmonton was so starved for this is that our stadium is sold out tonight. 18,000 people watching it on the big screen in the arena

It seems like I see you in this thread but I think I'm remembering the Apple Music thread?

Also smart to not get too involved. It takes its toll.

 

[Ursn]

I keep accidentally posting in the off season thread. I hope it's not a sign. Also these ref calls are bullshit!?

Spoiler

am I doing it right?

Drunk edit

Yea, it's definitely exciting. But that heartbreak those people will feel if ducks come back at this point? Shiiiiit

I started posting in here maybe a week ago? Went to game 2. But yea I am in the AM thread a lot

 

[RaySpencer]

Watching this SportsNet show between periods is pissing me off.

They have suggested that players should embellish hits, and that Russel should have stayed on the ground after Ritchie murdered him into the boards to draw a big penalty.

Fuck that shit, thats what has lead to all the diving in the NBA.

That's some pre-Duck Gordon Bombay shit right there.

 

[Ashhong]

That's a brutal Volkswagen commercial on nbcsn though. First time I've seen it...So sad

Yep. The ducks are going to be in a tough position after this game if they lose. They would have to win 2 games in a row again to advance to the next round. It's not a guarantee they will win two games in a row in this series again.

As an experiment I want to come back and see how Edmonton reacts.

Yeah I think that's where I saw you. After a while I recognize avatars from everyone in various threads and they all meld together.

 

[JeffG]

If that happens

Yep...they will be disappointed. But in a day they will get over it and they will meet the team at the airport.

At the start of the season if you told an Edmonton fan that the Oil would have 103 pts and go to game 6 of the second round...a) they wouldn't of believed you...b) take it in a heartbeat

 

[Parch]

Hang on to this lead, wrap it up next game. Piece of cake.

 

[RaySpencer]

That's some pre-Duck Gordon Bombay shit right there.

I dont understand your Mighty Ducks reference, I apologize.

 

[calder]

The liquor depot commercial that explicitly tells oiler fans to get that chip off their shoulder already was downright prescient.

 

[Calamari41]

I used to think we were friends.

True true.

Anyone ducks fan know where I can get the realest looking white/purple Bombay Jersey? I assume there isn't a real one. I want to wear that to future games... &#128514;

Just like GoodGuy™ Corey Perry deceived me, I have also been deceiving you.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

This where the ducks start their comeback?

 

[Heshinsi]

That's such a dumb penalty to take.

 

[JeffG]

The ducks have a crack here


They need to bring that 1st period powerplay

edit: and it wasn't

 

[Calamari41]

No urgency, it's not going to happen this time.

 

[Heshinsi]

McJesus tracking back and making big defensive plays.

Funny that there seems to be a ton of oilers fans in Anaheim, but I doubt there are very many Ducks fans in Edmonton, if at all. Canadians are everywhere!

 

[mo60]

This may be the first game in the series that ends in a shutoff at this point.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Canadians will make the trip for their team. Helps that this is the most excitement the Oilers have had that wasn't in the lottery in 11 years.

 

[JeffG]

Funny that there seems to be a ton of oilers fans in Anaheim, but I doubt there are very many Ducks fans in Edmonton, if at all. Canadians are everywhere!

in games 1 and 2 they reported between 800-1000 oilers fans in the stands

Not sure how they got that number

Seemed like a lot more than that in game 2 when I was there lol

Oh well, onto game 6. I wonder how much game 7 ticket will cost

 

[Ursn]

Can I complain about the refs yet?

yep

Edit: Empty net 3+ mins left Why the f not


and it worked


Looks like we have a game
