Surprised no one commented on this... After Tkachuk made that amazing empty net save in game 5 he came up limping. I think one of his wheels has gone flat! Go Oil!!

There are occasionally mess-up's like this, eventually they get fixed. “I'm not too sure what the stats are on coming back from it,” Skinner said that night, “but if anyone can do it, it's the Oil.” Came back they did with records and willpower. Tonight, Hyman overtakes Ovechkin and Crosby for the most goals in a playoffs for an active player. Ovi and Sid are no slouches. The Oilers join a rare club and they did it in a bizarre fashion. McDavid got ZERO Shots on Goal and didn't contribute to a single point yet twelve Oilers (out of 19) got on the scoreboard INCLUDING the Goalie Stuart Skinner with a PRIMARY ASSIST. To me I noticed the Janitor, Mattias Janmark a lot. Foegele too (and Leon winced after the saucer pass to Foegele for the first goal, I noticed it on replay but maybe that was just a YEAH! kind of wince). No Forward played more than Nuge's 19:15 and it dropped off fairly quickly from there. Leon played 16:40, I mean Broberg played more than Leon, so did Kulak. Ryan did great in the dot for us (and someone wanted to trade him out for an iffy Kane, look in the mirror and slap yourself). Stats wise this one was loads of fun. Same # of shots. Florida out hit Edmonton by over a 2-1 ratio (43 to 21). Faceoff wins were close (Florida 27, Edmonton 30). Both PK's at 100%. After that it gets interesting. Edmonton had slightly more giveaways (13 to Florida's 11) but over triple the # of takeaways (18 for Edmonton to 5 for Florida). Edmonton blocked double the # of shots (22 to 11). It's these last 2 base stats that really tell the game for me. If you're stripping or pick pocketing pucks and blocking double what your opponent is with the same # of shots on net odds are pretty good you'll win. It's ONE GAME. Now they just need ONE MORE. That one, it's the one that matters the most. Edmonton can throw a party and Edmonton SUPPORTS their teams. When restaurants that have lounges are using the restaurants as overflow seating as the lounges are packed, take a wild guess how bouncing it was. I'm thrilled for the places that earned a lot of money during these events. They'll be packed again Monday. Merch is selling off the shelves faster than it can be gotten or stocked. The entire city seems to be into it and I'm grateful that I live in a city that cares. Win (hopefully) or Lose the boys know the city is with them. The comments made on live mics show that they are with us too. Take care all.
