I gotta say, I really appreciate having you guys there the whole way, I’m gonna miss talking about this stuff every day, it’s going to be sad, and hard for a while
Oiler fans, you should be proud of your team! All season long, they faced adversity and overcame them. They faced uncertainty with Skinner and Nurse and Ceci and figured it out. Injuries have caught up to them, and McDavid just ran out of gas! Your team will win the Cup very soon! This is coming from a Kings fan, who is very familiar with the Oilers as I have told my Kings fan buddies that we don't have a chance against the Oilers who have the greatest player in McDavid and a close one in Draisaitl!
The unfortunate truth.. The Oilers no showed last night... they played the exact same way that lost them the first 3 games.. and not the team that won games 4,5 & 6. They gave Florida the win.
We lost by one goal to the very best team in the NHL, not counting the Oilers. Sad we didn't get the ultimate goal, but not sad for what this team accomplished this year. Looking forward to the future!
It hurts and I’ll get over it but every Oilers fan should be proud. Next season Broberg and Holloway will be on the team full time. This experience will help Skinner be better possibly Brown , Henrique and Janmark come back. A full season of Knobs and possibly Coffee. If the Oilers can bag the division and get home ice that’ll help them in the later rounds. Lots to be positive about I know it sucks because they fought so hard had to dig themselves out of a hole then battle in the final to tie the series and it’s like they did all this work and came up short again. I literally waited 18 years to see the exact same result and it hurts but I’m confident like the panthers the oilers will be back again and win it this time. Let’s go Oilers.
There should've been a viral video with a fan's take on Simon & Garfunkel's underrated April Comes She Will summarizing the playoffs in his or her own words. "Game 6, worth a fix/ The Oilers were one win after 30 years/ Game 7 means heaven/ I said goodbye until next year"
Didn’t Close The Show !!! Bet a $1000 USD on 97 and the boys Getting It Done !!! Zero points for 97 !! No Gretzky comparison, Forget That , Have to WIN The CUP !! Love the team, this was Roughhhhhh again 2006 , Home Ice Advantage is Everything !!
Thank you for that impromptu therapy session, really needed that today! Its especially hard waking up in a non hockey city where ppl dont understand the gravity of what happened to us last night (so many ppl tried to joke about it to lighten my mood not realizing how much it hurts) Im so so proud of the the oilers and the memories created for all us fans but having to defend what theyve accomplished to trolls and uneducated casuals is worse than the loss itself...anyways THANK YOU OILERSNATION FOR EVERYTHING YOU ALL DO its been an incredible ride and truly wouldn't be the same without yall and nation citizens 💙🧡💙🧡
It hurts like no other pain this morning. But anything worth having that is meaningful never comes easy! We will be back this team learned how to play winning hockey and grew so much over this playoff run. Next season they will be back and better than ever
Hold your head high Oil Country. You battled hard and you will be back there soon. This is the price that must be paid to win. GG’s from your southern Flames rival. Just to clear up the Tkachuk thing, we like him because he was honest and let us trade him instead of pretending he wanted to resign like Gaudreau did. There’s nothing wrong with an American wanting to play in America. He was honest and honourable about it.
I feel for Connor and Leon I won’t be okay until I see there exit interviews. I know they will be back with the team they both probably resign. There’s no way they walk after this run. I know Ceci , Kane , Perry , Warren all gone.
We were slow… didn’t jump off the go, that Florida ice is absolute shite, and an embarrassment to the league. I’m upset, tired, sad, drained, one goal away. These guys are amazing, I just don’t know why that last game, last 20 minutes….
It’s over the excuses don’t mater anymore but I do agree we cant be playing game late intoJune the cup should be handed out early June at most. It’s hard already to maintain the ice in Florida but in June when it’s hot in Florida come on NHL what is this scheduling so close to the draft and free agency and your still playing playoff hockey.
@@caperboy1169Florida played 4 games on that ice this finals and both teams struggled playing on it. The finals being so late into June did play a factor a bit with the hot weather.
Wasn't Skinner...it was a total lackluster performance on the Oilers in general. Very flat...no fire, no extra stride or undying effort to get to the puck. If players are hurt they should NOT be playing!!! I don't care who they are, that's just plain stupid. The other thing is how can the whole team deflate at the same time? I don't get it... it wasn't just Skinner letting in weak goals...he actually kept them to 2 points...which is very reasonable ... it was lack of offense. The Oilers played all out hockey for 3 games and in the SCF of Finals they barely skate to the puck...literally backing up as a play develops and they just escort them into the front of the net. It almost seems rigged. If I didn't know any better that would be a fair conclusion. The Oilers do have the laying an egg syndrome from time to time...just I thought they had more will and presence of mind than that. Very disappointed. Hope it was worth it so they get their turn to win? All the Parasite "industries" like banks and betting Houses fund the NHL... parasites always destroy the host.
Thanks for all the passionate coverage this year Oilers Nation. Was one hell of a ride. Much to be proud of but also very hard to swallow not finishing the job. On a positive, they will grow from this and we will be back. Lets enjoy a little beach time and then go back to Edmonton with our heads held high brother.
I'm disappointed in the loss but proud of what the Oilers accomplished this year. Oiler fan win or lose for life..just do it next season! Let's Go Oilers!!!!!
How long did it take Ovi it’ll come this was the closest they ever have gotten. Gretzky also lost his first SCF as well. I’m just happy they had the chance so many fanbases wish there teams could get this far I’m thinking of Buffalo right now.
@@ryans413 I would put McDavid in a different category than Ovi. It's not hate, it's simply crazy to have both those guys for a decade and not win a cup. Shows league parody, how hard it is to win a cup and that even with possibly the best player to ever play, you still need to have a very savvy front office.
Come on Tyler, now you’re making shit up….the vast majority of Flames fans DO NOT support, cheer or like Tkachuk…you’re out to lunch on that one…..my condolences btw.
You do realize that your feelings are not representative of the entire flames fan base, right? Cool, you have enough sense to not be a turtlechuk fan. Good for you. But the proof is in the pudding.
I just want one person to acknowledge they played like shit They lost the game from a lack of effort and a casual mentality We. Should. Be. Champions. It's been less than 24 hours how the hell do you guys move on so fast to the copium
Yes, it sucks and there's a lot to unpack. But I am truly happy for Paul Maurice, Sasha Barkov, Sam Reinhart (whom I've always liked), and yes, even Matt Tkachuk, who has finally got a very storied hockey family (grandpa Walt, who was a Canadian, papa Keith, and brother Brady) the family name on the Stanley Cup.
Sorry Tyler and fans, to be honest Oilers did not deserve this one. The should have been eliminated by Canucks. There is some weird collusion thing going on in the league. Players are all rich millionaires...fans?
Wanna be's ....very sketchy goaltending with Skinner in net .....no defense on the ice half the time ...Nurse needs a Dr. . Where is this real character ? To lose 10 in a row during the regular season is not how to show team character...and then lose three in a row in the finals ....that ain't character it is just pure desperation ....Cats will always toy with their prey and let them think it will be ok before the final kill ...the best team won.....these Grease Stain 's will never win a cup with the two biggest two prima donna's in the league on the team .....please sign Dr. Dry ....you really need another Nurse contract Reply
You’re delusional if you think Florida just let it get close. You guys got outplayed for 3 straight games give the Oilers some credit they won those games by playing fantastic defence on the PK. They almost beat got guys. Panthers played a great game 7 and I tip my hat to that but don’t sit here and say they let the Oilers win to mess with them that’s ridiculous.
