If I said what I think will decide the series from the Oiler perspective:

1) Will Skinner play well
2) Will the refs call penalties to the point that each team has 3-4 PP/game
3) Will Nurse-Ceci pairing hold up

If 3/3 are "yes", I am confident the Oilers will win.
If 2/3 are "yes", I think the Oilers have a good shot at winning.
If 1/3 are "yes", it'll take a supernova McDavid/Draisaitl series for us to win
If 0/3 are "yes", we almost certainly lose

what does this mean for your model?


loilers coach clearly a button-mashing donk scratching ceci after probably one of his best games. but he was -2, so...

nurse was too, but thank the gods they never blame him for sucking by choice

edit: yeah g1 was ceci's 2nd best xg game of the playoffs, behind one of the games in the kings series (may 1st)

it was an interesting watch - especially the current day interviews with people who were involved in various roles and how their lives were affected afterwards. I had forgotten just exactly how much property damage was done.

actually there was so little that everything was cleaned up and looked exactly the same like the next day. the fact that anyone is still talking about it 13 years later is downright bizarre ... kind of feel like some more important **** has happened since but idk


early most pointless move of the off-season: the washington capitals in hiring the capfriendly guy, also bought the site and are taking it private. why? you aren't monopolizing information, i'm guessing most/all teams already have their internal version of it. and then there are also other public versions of it, and there probably always will be. i feel like this has already happened like half a dozen times, teams buying up the preeminent salary site of the day, and then instantly there's a couple more out there. i don't know why the league doesn't do something to stop, just seems very pointless, and mostly serves to annoy fans. oh right, the fans literally never factor into their calculations. anyway, point is: **** the capitals, **** the nhl

anyone remember the names of the old ones? i legit don't. once the site is dead i delete the bookmark and move on to the next one, and it's like it was never there


According to the line, all the money has come in on Edmonton, it’s down 10-15 cents from open at both of my books. I hate to Ceci it.

I’d say more pointless moves will be some teams hiring of terrible retread coaches/GM that will cost them more money than this guy’s salary and set their franchises back further.


It’s a move considering their fans. Considering how much more money they can squeeze out of them. Why do you think there are new 3rd jerseys every year, and every team needs a special winter classic outdoor jersey? To squeeze more money out of you. Classic Washington Capitalism.

yeah

not sure this guy will help much either though, as his qualifications are running a salary database, essentially. the analytics/analysis/etc parts of the site seemed meh, and weren't why ppl were going there. but i guess ted doesn't understand the difference, just how to cut big cheques. anyway cool, you got a guy to run the cap for your lottery team over the next ~5 years. because as we all know, the salary cap is always major concern to rebuilding teams. well played

how does paying a guy to shut down his player salary website make the capitals money?


Time will tell.

classic zig zag theory action yo


Didn’t work in the first two games of NBA, hoping it doesn’t here [emoji1696]


carrick in for perry also

i was saying that carrick should be playing, based on the numbers, but probably at the expense of ryan or someone, not necessarily perry, who has been solid in the playoffs. though perry was terrible in game 1, so idk. whatever. an attempt at speed might be the name of the game for the loilers here. only way to explain broberg playing, really.

they definitely found something with all the stretch passes and speed through the neutral zone in g1. shouldn't really be possible with how the panthers line up 3 on the blueline ... maybe more pressure on the puck is needed to solve the problem, so they can't just stand back there with all the time in the world to pick touchdown passes.


league doing everything they can here, making it a penalty to touch any of the loilers' good players


Really ugly Foegele


by 72off k

best panthers 5v5 xg: luostarinen 81%

team dirtball strikes again, going after the knees of star players. disgusting, ban this sick filth

if I was maurice I'd send him to the showers immediately. florida looking at a -ev goal differential after drawing a major penalty lol


by philurivey k

aka $$ is coming Malucci's way😉
Except next game as McDavid got the boys on the same page once back in the locker room.😀

cough cough

Though the shot count says otherwise so far.


tkachuk should be mixing it up in scrums more. just stand around, the loilers seem completely hostile to his very presence. and he hasn't really done anything here, so i'm guessing it's ptsd from when he was in calgary stuff. anyway, use that, if they wanna hit you for doing nothing

i guess the only problem there is that they don't really have anyone else

reg. season 5v5 xg: fla dmen
ekblad 59%
forsling 57%
ekman-larsson 55%
montour 55%
kulikov 54%
mikkola 53%
----------
balinskis 49%
mahura 48%


I have a (bad) feeling Florida gets next goal, should place a bet on that and be a Malucci or ScottC.:p


Really horrific hooking call on Tkachuk there

This playoffs has been a get dominated in shots and win.

Van over Nash
NYR over Car
This series so far

Probably been others I'm not remembering

yeah the refs saw my post about how he can draw penalties by doing nothing and were like nah we'll call penalties for doing nothing

one of the weakest calls in the entire playoffs tbh


MIK-KO-LAAAAAAAAA

lazy f3 & f2 work costs edm again (1st goal g1)

draisaitl injured or had to take a dump?


Quite a rollercoaster shift for Mikkola
