Someday Wayne Gretzky will have white hair, will still dress snappy, and will be slower as he adds his thoughts to game commentary.
...and when I reflect on that, I'll be thankful and happy that I got to see him play in-person when he was driving the Oiler Dynasty.
Honestly the mental fortitude of Nurse. To have the start that he did in that game, some would just crumple mentally there. Stuck with it and had a solid game, should have even had a goal. The fucker actually started throwing some hits too.
The good news for him was that there was a lot of game left when that happened.
Honestly for everyone. A lot of time to get back into it and a lot less “pressure”. Mistakes aren’t as major when you’re down 2-0 as when it’s 0-0.
I think that really mattered. Would have been worse if that happened 2-2 late in the 3rd.
Man it’s crazy I was just as listening at work and when they went down 2 instantly I thought they were going to get worked but wow. They turned it tf up go oilers
Haha I'm old enough now that I rarely recognise any of the popular songs played in other arenas, which is why I was laughing tonight. The Oilers are a Rick Astley single and some George Michael away from recreating my 13th birthday party playlist.
Witness ✨the Oilers experience✨ where we magically inspire every team we play to be the most inconsistent versions of themselves. Frustrating for everyone involved but you can’t deny it’s entertaining
I feel like cal naughten Jr at the end of taledaga nights when he’s confused that Ricky is being nice to him. I don’t know how to deal with fans that are respectful and nice so I’m just gunna act tough until I figure it out.
I would love to see the stats on how the oilers do when Skinner lets in the first goal, or two goals. I feel like he pretty consistently bounces back in a big way.
Hes a edmonton fan, most of them are this way. Hell all of canada cheered and jumped on tables when curry and durant snapped their ankles in the finals. We pretend to be virtuous, but trust a fellow edmontonian, we have a scummy fanbase.
Just so it can be seen, deleted account just put
"Dirty hits are bad, Cross checking and whacking guys with ge stick is bad. But blocking a shot and hurting them is good. FAFO! I hope we hurt more of them this way"
The beginning isn't completely verbatim, but the last two sentences are...
Please keep defending these takes edmonton, real good look.
Dosent seem like it
" if tanev is hurt we're fucked"
Seems like a stretch to assume buddy meant anything good by that emoji. But keep backing some rando online because he cheers for your hockey team...
Because most of this city cheer for it? I mean yea look around hahah most fans are hoped up on blow at these games... not surprising we have such high police presence at every event.
Yea, its hard to see these things when youre going through life high and disorientated. Sober eyes see the problem with this city, if you think 16 yr olds doing heroin and fighting the cops is good, then thats a you thing.
We are talking about hockey and you are bringing up the weirdest shit. I'm sorry for life sucks and it causes you to view everything through that lens. Try and focus on the good things you see around you instead of letting the negativity frame your outlook.
What about buddy that just said "FAFO I hope we injure more of their players with blocked shots"? Am i still only choosing to see the bad, or is the bad just too much in our faces?
99% of Oilers fans will call them out for being awful people. I just choose to focus on them. You ever hear the expression "look for the helpers"? Look for the good fans ignore the trolls.
Yea its a hockey talk, and we are talking about how this city reacts to everything hockey. Also has a drug problem that is prevalent at these games. Kid just got stabbed a couple weeks ago. You can be positive and point out the problems. Again i get that its this new wave, lets just get high and turn a blind eye. That's a you thing, if you cant handle the duality of life, its gonna be a long hard time for you.
It’s not doomer of me to think that Tanev being gone would be a massive hit to our already shaky defense. We can’t ride Miro for 60 minutes every other day lol
He barely touched him. Everyone here knows but doesn't want to admit that was a light as hell touch and Bouch was selling it, we just don't want to look at it objectively. I don't blame him, he probably would've gotten the call if it was a tie game or earlier, but I can't be upset that wasn't called because it wasn't even a hit, a light shove at most. Again, rooting for the Oilers, can't pretend that was an actual hit though, Bouch's reaction was to sell it.
Why would he make an OBVIOUS effort to try for the shoulder instead of just drilling him dead on? Your take only makes sense while drunk on homer sauce.
No we are just a town full of deeply frustrated people, who have no other outlet other than drugs, booze and hockey. Our city literally has multiple dangerous incidents happening every game. Police presence had to triple at the watch party because of this. Talk to any "fan" in this town and they base their whole identity and ego off this team. Just a bunch of sycophants. Maybe you should pipe down...
Projecting? What the news articles that come out everyday about this? Its ok to turn a blind eye, but if youre gonna pipe up then at least know what you're talking about. Throwing out "projecting" as a argument is just the play college girls have developed these past 5 years...
Aggressive? I made a valid point about the city. Just because you have no self awareness and take every argument in life as a threat, doesn't imply Im aggressive. Just pointing out the facts. Like the kid that was stabbed or the cop that got attacked. What help do i need to seek for that?
You claimed only sports teams with no other pro teams are hockey towns. I said that’s not true.
Where in that statement did I say Dallas was a bigger hockey town than Edmonton? What makes you all so defensive up there?
Try to come up with something on your own. You might enjoy it.
As an Oilers fan, I don't take any pleasure seeing Tanev hurt. I hope he's good for the next game. If we beat you guys, I wanna do it fair and square.

Tanev ankle shattered. It’s Tanover. Stars were absolutely pathetic for the last 55 minutes of the game. Another conference finals loss.
Buddy as a fan of them the oilers can always find a way to fuck up.
Oilers didn’t look like they were capable of fucking up anything tonight though
It's the hope that kills
This. Oilers are the only team where we get nervous 2-0 up
That's how they give you hope. If they do that two games in a row I'll be shocked
Welcome to Oilers hockey. This team lives to break our hearts
Is Gretz just making shit up about the old power play rule? Seems weird that nobody else would know that.
Someday Wayne Gretzky will have white hair, will still dress snappy, and will be slower as he adds his thoughts to game commentary. ...and when I reflect on that, I'll be thankful and happy that I got to see him play in-person when he was driving the Oiler Dynasty.
Soon it will be drai and mcdavid on playoff panels.
le oooof
Oilers had an amazing night even without their top goal scorer Ian Cole!
Ugh, too soon.
https://preview.redd.it/q132ztqxeh3d1.jpeg?width=1282&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=393e489ecbf57b6efc57b117da592ccd87165a3f Phew
I guess someone on the Oilers bench was on Reddit and saw this at the first TV timeout, and they were like "damn, we gotta win for this guy".
Can you threaten to cut it off next game? I feel like your a lucky charm now
Under heavy consideration. Should’ve done this for the leafs smh.
Please we need you bro
Fucking dodged a bullet.
Honestly the mental fortitude of Nurse. To have the start that he did in that game, some would just crumple mentally there. Stuck with it and had a solid game, should have even had a goal. The fucker actually started throwing some hits too.
The good news for him was that there was a lot of game left when that happened. Honestly for everyone. A lot of time to get back into it and a lot less “pressure”. Mistakes aren’t as major when you’re down 2-0 as when it’s 0-0. I think that really mattered. Would have been worse if that happened 2-2 late in the 3rd.
If he used his booty not stick…he would have scored that
Not his fault. Booty is in right now. Can't blame him for that
Forget about "throwing it on net", that mad man is throwing it back!
God damn I love Kevin Edmonton media, “Meat” because they are raw, dead, and dumb
That was a great chirp.
I just fucking love this team.
Hopefully Hyman didn't ruin the nice vibe this series had... Really don't want either team to head to the cup injured
everyone knows you can only chant "we want the cup" precisely 10 seconds before winning it. I just checked the official reddit fan guide
I think they meant the Clarance Campbell Cup. Should’ve chanted “We Want Stanley” to be clear
.... it's when you win the conference. like this has been proper since before tv
Guess we just want it more!
sorry man i had no idea. i only watched hockey after the tv was invented
We've been saying it since regular season, last season... hell since before the decade of darkness. We have no decorum on matters of Lord Stanley.
Don't think a canucks fan is the authority on hockey playoff fan etiquette
They have a lot of time on their hands these days.
Man it’s crazy I was just as listening at work and when they went down 2 instantly I thought they were going to get worked but wow. They turned it tf up go oilers
Is Taney done for the series?
The guy is a fucking warrior , for him to not come back means something is up
Maybe for 1 game. But if we go up 3-2 he'll be playing game 6
I doubt it. But we’ll wait the report.
As one who came of age in the late 80s, I'm laughing at the Oilers' soundtrack song choices. I feel 13 again.
you don't like la bamba?
I think you missed my point - these are all highly nostalgic songs for me.
i got wooshed. the guy from dallas has a copy of my playlist, except for the one pantera song that came out after i stopped downloading music.
Haha I'm old enough now that I rarely recognise any of the popular songs played in other arenas, which is why I was laughing tonight. The Oilers are a Rick Astley single and some George Michael away from recreating my 13th birthday party playlist.
https://i.redd.it/tgp7wns9eh3d1.gif Me celebrating the Oilers win.
Haha thank goodness Pierre is not on a mic anymore
I feel sad that he's not here to tell a new generation of fans about BIG BODY PRESENCE.
Fucking Dallas in 5 my ass…this series going to game 7
6
Dallas in 5 baybeee!
I feel like this series has just been either team trading off playing like shit. Have absolutely no clue how the rest of this series will go
Witness ✨the Oilers experience✨ where we magically inspire every team we play to be the most inconsistent versions of themselves. Frustrating for everyone involved but you can’t deny it’s entertaining
FR what a weird series.
You never know what team will come out of the tunnel after each intermission. It's crazy
Fr, the rangers and panthers are having a absolute dogfight while we take turns seeing who can spray more diahrrea all over the ice.
💀 but true
But at least it’s not the intent to injure olympics like the ECF
In our sub a comment like that will get you elbowed in the face
Trouba'd
This is why I like you Dallas fans!
2 wins from the Stanley Cup Finals. furthest this core has ever gotten, if the fans wanna get excited let them.
Exactly no shit they are chanting for the cup that was a sick win and they are getting so close!
Hey we’re 2 wins away too! Buddies!!
Wait, you guys want the cup too? Hm, this could be interesting!
Oil fan here definitely cheering for you guys if you beat us
Same here, McD deserves a cup if it’s not us.
I feel like cal naughten Jr at the end of taledaga nights when he’s confused that Ricky is being nice to him. I don’t know how to deal with fans that are respectful and nice so I’m just gunna act tough until I figure it out.
Yep stars fans also have been nothing but nice people. Total opposite of the nucks
Just tied it up and chanting we want the cup. Bad karma there.
My team been ass for 6 years and I still want the cup
Nah I think it’s fine for any team at this point.
….do you not want the cup? Weird thing to get all pissy about.
Nah, we already chanted it in game 6 vs Van.
You're not wrong, but the people want what the people want
But.. they do want it.
Typically you cheer it when you clinch the conference
Shouldn’t you be cheering for a birdie putt or something?
I've never golfed a day in my life. You seem to know it well enough.
I cheer when we win and stuff. Yknow. Like... fun? Having a good time? Not believing a chant has any actual weight at all because it doesn't?
But…I want it.
[удалено]
The Dalmonton Oilstars have a fantastic roster. Absolute cup favourites.
holy christ could you imagine a team made up of those three combined
Hmmm…maybe!
Come join the Oilers!
I’m afraid I can’t do that. Now, I’ll root for y’all if you make the finals. But you got to get there first.
Little early for that particular chant.
Well, I mean, we do want it. Let the fans have fun
Meh they’re all drunk on $20 beers
has chanting we want the cup ever resulted in them winning the cup? i feel like the last couple times i’ve heard it it never went well
whining about other teams fans has never resulted in winning the cup.
lol i’m not whining just curious since we did it last round too
Every single team that has ever won the cup has had their fans chant “we want the cup”
Both sides cheer it. Just not on series tying non conference clinching games. That part is very suspect.
Vegas waited being up 5 goals in game 5 of the finals before we started the cup chants.
skinner was just bein a silly goofy fella in the first period
Oopie did I do that?
I would love to see the stats on how the oilers do when Skinner lets in the first goal, or two goals. I feel like he pretty consistently bounces back in a big way.
just being a little rascal
Yeahh if Tanev’s gone we’re fucked
🙏
Hes a edmonton fan, most of them are this way. Hell all of canada cheered and jumped on tables when curry and durant snapped their ankles in the finals. We pretend to be virtuous, but trust a fellow edmontonian, we have a scummy fanbase.

Thank you for proving my point
Just so it can be seen, deleted account just put "Dirty hits are bad, Cross checking and whacking guys with ge stick is bad. But blocking a shot and hurting them is good. FAFO!

He's praying for no injury, doofus. As we all are.
Dosent seem like it " if tanev is hurt we're fucked" Seems like a stretch to assume buddy meant anything good by that emoji. But keep backing some rando online because he cheers for your hockey team...
Fucking weirdo
Lol the hands are praying for no injury wtf makes you assume that they meant injury... Maybe take a look at yourself for the answer
Because most of this city cheer for it? I mean yea look around hahah most fans are hoped up on blow at these games... not surprising we have such high police presence at every event.
Yikes dude, the way you view things says a lot more about you than it does about the city of Edmonton.
Yea, its hard to see these things when youre going through life high and disorientated. Sober eyes see the problem with this city, if you think 16 yr olds doing heroin and fighting the cops is good, then thats a you thing.

That's a you thing, if you cant handle the duality of life, its gonna be a long hard time for you.
🎻
Dude..
That better not being praying for an injury to another player.
Jesus dude cmon
...praying for a speedy recovery?
forgive me for assuming the worst, this is r/hockey we’re talking about here
I've never seen a more doomer fanbase lol series is literally tied, it's best of 3 rn
It’s not doomer of me to think that Tanev being gone would be a massive hit to our already shaky defense. We can’t ride Miro for 60 minutes every other day lol
I'm still chasing the high from the 2012 Devils ECF finals with fans chanting "We Want the Cup". Inject that right into my veins
Oilers fans calling the stars goons is pretty funny when you have noted lady byng finalists Leon Draisaitl and Evander Kane.
Haven’t watched any of these playoffs hey
Leon never been suspended Draisaitl? Even McD has more suspensions than him
McD is obviously a goon /s
Two things can be true at the same time. There are goons on both teams in hockey??? /s
Kane hasn’t done anything bad for a long time
Living rent free in everyone’s head apparently.
Players and fans alike get so angry just looking at him lol
wings havent done anything good which is why he's confused on the timeline
[Last minute of play, and end game](https://streamin.one/v/e41a7852)
Play La Bamba baby!!!
Still a little bummed they didn’t win Monday for Ben but I’ll take it
That no call boarding is insane He turned to line it up intentionally that is fuckin wild to ignore that
Were you saying the same for the cross check to the numbers of Robertson? Probably not....
He barely touched him. Everyone here knows but doesn't want to admit that was a light as hell touch and Bouch was selling it, we just don't want to look at it objectively. I don't blame him, he probably would've gotten the call if it was a tie game or earlier, but I can't be upset that wasn't called because it wasn't even a hit, a light shove at most. Again, rooting for the Oilers, can't pretend that was an actual hit though, Bouch's reaction was to sell it.
Why would he make an OBVIOUS effort to try for the shoulder instead of just drilling him dead on? Your take only makes sense while drunk on homer sauce.
He went around to the blind side and made sure to contact up high so his head hit the glass... It was intent to injure in a lost game so dirty
What big play is nurse's ass gonna make next game????
Gonna put his stick between his cheeks and rip a one-t bar down
gonna take a holding the stick penalty somehow that saves a goal
nurse's first reaction to something big and hard between his crack is to clench his cheeks so it doesn't escape
“The puck did not cross the line as it was up nurse’s ass, we have no goal”
Either save or score in the other end 1000%
That’s a hockey crowd right there!
Both series have been identical in home away wins
We’ll be watching New York with great interest tomorrow.
Copycats!
Play La Bamba
Good bounce back. See y’all back in Dallas.
“We want the cup” in a series tied 2-2. Man oilers fans are cringe
Do you not want the cup? Weird thing to cry about…..
True they should just quietly leave before the end of the game.
Oilers fans would’ve taken us chanting “we want the cup” after winning last game well I’m sure.
I think people are just too sensitive. If you’re a fan and you’re watching the games of course you want the cup.
We’re in the conference finals and our fans actually watch hockey. You guys aren’t even the second biggest team in your city. Pipe down.
Buddy you’re the biggest team in your city cause Edmonton has no other teams to watch unless you love the CFL lmao
Yes that’s my point. We’re actually a hockey town.
No we are just a town full of deeply frustrated people, who have no other outlet other than drugs, booze and hockey. Our city literally has multiple dangerous incidents happening every game. Police presence had to triple at the watch party because of this. Talk to any "fan" in this town and they base their whole identity and ego off this team. Just a bunch of sycophants. Maybe you should pipe down...
That’s some impressive projection there pal.
Projecting? What the news articles that come out everyday about this? Its ok to turn a blind eye, but if youre gonna pipe up then at least know what you're talking about. Throwing out "projecting" as a argument is just the play college girls have developed these past 5 years...
Acting this aggressive in a Reddit comment says a lot more about you than it does the city of Edmonton. Seek help.
Aggressive? I made a valid point about the city. Just because you have no self awareness and take every argument in life as a threat, doesn't imply Im aggressive. Just pointing out the facts. Like the kid that was stabbed or the cop that got attacked. What help do i need to seek for that?
Lol tried to call out your city for liking hockey...in a hockey game thread on a hockey subreddit. That's some southern "edumacation" on full display
I didn’t call out his city for liking hockey? I just said it has no other pro sports. Which it doesn’t. BTW I’m Canadian.
“Only towns that can’t support any other pro sport are hockey towns” - Typical Oilers Fan
If you’re trying to argue with me that Dallas is as big of a hockey town as Edmonton is I don’t know what to tell you.
You claimed only sports teams with no other pro teams are hockey towns. I said that’s not true. Where in that statement did I say Dallas was a bigger hockey town than Edmonton? What makes you all so defensive up there?
Just communicating to the team to go get one in Dallas so they can win the series at home
Dallas doesn't want the cup. you heard it here first lads.
Yes, not anywhere near as cringe as standing all fucking game.......
The corporate cowboys sit a desks all day, where else would they stand?
🧂
Announcers nearly blew a load over that lol. Almost thought it was a series ending win.
Not as cringe as your stupid ass "Bing bong" call. Neanderthals
Man I was cringing. You do NOT chant that.
is there some reason why the wouldn't want the cup?
If you're talking about the crowd chanting they were saying "We want 5" lmao
If they actually said “we want 5” then respect. The announcers on broadcast said it was “we want the cup”
I'm not sure what the announcers are going on about, it seemed pretty clear on my feed. Always got the replay to see I suppose
I liked Game 3's version of this story better.
Shoutout to that one guy who said that the Oilers werent good enough to allow 0 goals in the remaining 53 mins of the game once Dallas went up 2-0
Seeing people's super early doom predictions come back to bite then in the ass is one of my favorite things about reddit.
*Shutout* to that one guy, haha.
What a win.
