Damn. What an insane game last night was. Feel for Wemby, can’t help but think he literally threw that one away. It will be interesting how he and the Spurs respond in New York tomorrow.
Either way, this has been a great finals 👏🏼👏🏼🏀🏀
Lots of chatter about Oilers next head coach and I’ll be honest, not in love with a lot of the names out there.
Can’t wait for Cassidy forever either, but for me, I wouldn’t mind giving Paul McFarland a chance. He didn’t get dismissed by the Oilers for a reason… #LetsGoOilers
@KevinMcCurdy@EdmOilerlytics I was banging this drum alllll preseason last year. Couldn’t believe the Oilers just let him slide without submitting a claim
Sure hope Bowman is right about Ike Howard…. But if anyone has been following along, I don’t believe in Bowman…. At all.
Hope he can at least prove me wrong about Howard. #LetsGoOilers
I've flipped on the Cassidy coaching drama. VGK should not let him interview with anyone until his contract is up. I feel for Cassidy, but I'd feel a hell of a lot worse next year if the Avalanche, Kings, or Oilers knock VGK out of the playoffs with Cassidy as coach. He can wait.
@TDChrisG Since VGK is 48 hours from the Final, why are we this worried about where the Cassidy might end up? Either he’s elite… or letting him go was a mistake. Can’t be both.

How do you miss weight by TWENTY-SIX pounds with a 52-pound advantage and still get dropped?
Hardy was afraid of Stosic right off the jump and was hoping him missing weight would scare off Stosic. Instead, Stosic said “ding, ding”. 👊🏼💥
Canada won all seven games before today. Battled through adversity and made it work.
Really missed Evan Bouchard in this one – this was Canada's toughest defensive game to date. #MensWorlds
Why wouldn’t Edmonton leak it? You get to shine light on a divisional rivals pettiness. This should make any future/potential candidates for VGK think twice before applying. #LetsGoOilers
NEWS: Kelly McCrimmon on OverDrive says ‘it’s only news because Edmonton leaked it’ in regards to Bruce Cassidy and the decline to interview with the Oilers #ForgedInGold
Huge news for the Oilers organization. Kalle Larsson and Michael Parkatti in particular. If Bowman can step aside and let those 2 actually work, we may be on to something here. #LetsGoOilers
