@itsWozzz McDavid and Drai are great hockey players. However they seem to have installed the idea that the game is played as job to the team. The goal celebrations are limited, the fun is just not there. Fun will happen when we win the cup. You need to a little fun - this team didn’t
@nielsonTSN1260 Just a thought - I mean we all loved the 4Nations last year and the Olympics this year… but it burns out the star players. Injuries, fatigue. I know you have to grow the game and everyone wants a chance to represent their country but they are signed for big dollar contracts?
@The_Pikey_6@JasonGregor Would not hurt if the captain had a little fun and spunk after a goal either to fire the boys up. This tapping of the shin pads and pretending the job is not done yet is not why you play the game
@JasonGregor All true. I’d add no emotion. Last game McDavid scores and instead of getting the boys fired up and making a game of it - they do this tap the pads nice goal like they were down 5-1. Knoblauch should have been screaming after the OT goal tonight. Nope - just better luck next time
@nielsonTSN1260 What a way to lose a game. How the ref can say standing in the corner that was over the line? Like come on. So call it a good goal so you can’t have evidence to overturn? Absolutely horrible call. That’s the dagger. Next year country
@nielsonTSN1260 1) 40 shots against - plays into Anaheim’s game
2) Defense has to not take those risky pinches in the 3rd period - only down a goal- don’t have to sell out to be down 2 in 40 seconds
3) Have to want it more - just seem to be a step behind, giving up man in front.
@JSeimes Check if it’s not blow out the back - the strong pod shatter varieties are not breaking down here and the pods are going right through the combine here.
@tyleryaremchuk With everything going on in the world, you turn to watch sports to get your mind off things and see that…. Honestly does this team win half of its remaining games? 74 points plus 20 = 94. I guess that gets you in the playoffs. This team has no physicality, no emotion
@nielsonTSN1260 Panthers got the first goal and got their mojo back. Their defense game tonight was superb. Give the Oilers credit - I wrote them off after game 3. It was a great accomplishment to get to game 7. If they could have got game 1 I think the outcome is different. 2 matched teams.
@nielsonTSN1260 Oilers getting out worked on the boards. Draisaitl was not his dominant self. Bouchard needs to be stronger on the puck - maybe increased minutes affected him. Florida was the better team - needed to win game 1. Oilers might get a game at home but sadly this run is over
