Derek Ryan ends up caught on the ice with a broken stick yesterday in the last 2 minutes during the 6 on 5 and threw himself in the way of the puck multiple times that ends up leading to the turn over for Dri to take it up ice. Great heart to see it!
Ryan got that dawg in him. No stick, no problem, just became a wrecking ball.
Also grabbed kempes stick which is what really led to the turn over. But can’t knock the effort lol
That was huge from him
Ryan is a soldier for us every night!!!! Huge game for him
@@brandonstriegel3461yeah don’t forget the egregious hold or anything
Man, Kane does deserve some props after all the issues he was having. Oilers took a gamble and he is playing his heart out for them.
A gamble you say?
It’s Kane that likes to gamble 😅
@@thewalnut4017 🤣🤣🤣🤣
100% very impressed with his turn around, happy for him
@@jams4jcmusicand Mc David does sports betting commercials. What a team!
People focus too much on scoring depth, but pay little attention to detail on defense depth of the forwards. Janmark, Derek Ryan, Carrick, Perry, McLeod, Foegele and Holloway have all busted their asses. They've drawn penalties, winning puck battles in their own zone, backchecking at key moments etc etc. Even McLeods line have completely shut down Byfield's line. Byfield couldn't sniff an inch of a scoring chance. McLeod's line were just all over him all series
Nice to have those guys on bargain contracts too.. foegele is expensive but hitting 20g this year justifies the cap hit. Sucks that oilers always end up overpaying guys, and all the puck battles and good defensive plays a player makes get overlooked because he isn't scoring every night
Honestly? Janmark as a checking forward has been a bit of a revelation this year. He gets into the dirty areas and plays with an edge. I'd like him to be a bit more physical and just put the puck on net more, but he hasn't been a liability at all.
I found Brett kulak steeped up aswell he was activated into the rush multiple times
i actually thought that Kulak was the worst EDM D so far.
And he had strong last 2 playoffs, so this one didn`t catch me yet.
@@saschaganser9671 Kulak is the one underrated player on their D that people overlook. When he's not taking penalties, he quietly does a good job.
@@ZinfandelRed1914 i agree, but this few games i didn`t think it was his best yet.
But that`s smth the Oilers had with their D. The critism on Ceci was insane, but they played him for 20 mins. a night as a top 4, maybe even top RD.
While he`s valuable as a 4-5th D, he`s getting exposed vs. elite opponents.
Ceci and Kulak have been most impressive.. Most fans and analysts were thinking Ceci was going to be an absolute ball and chain around the Oilers ankles in the playoffs and that not replacing him would be disaster - but he's been very solid and consistent; an absolute rock back there.
As oilers fans we’ve all been absolutely begging for Dylan Holloway to be in the lineup and now look what happens when he’s given a chance😂
There is simply no argument left. We've been teasing Hollywood with a permanent roster spot for a while now, and he's finally up for a bit, and he's showing up huge, in the playoffs, against a team that likes to and is good at fucking with young players. There is simply no argument left for sending Hollywood back the AHL, They're all gone.
I haven't seen this talked about anywhere but am I crazy for saying a Mcleod - Holoway - Foegle 'kid' line would be cool to see?
@@ipwnreviewer I like it. McLeod is the only odd variable. He's so impactful defensively as a center, but he's way more threatening on offense as a wing.
@@vlisto3712agree. Mcleod has a lot of nuge energy 😊 😊❤
@@vlisto3712 Totally agree, I think Holloway makes more sense as the center. I think the same thing about a lot of guys they put on center though, sometimes they give center to the guys whos just the 'best' player on the line, but they are ultimately more effective wingers. Like nuge and drai - both are better wingers but have been tried so many times on center. Sometimes their IQ is better used getting open than QB'ing the play.
Edmontonian here, caught the shut-out game live at the roger's place watch party! Incredible performance by Skinner, I won't be forgetting that experience any time soon! 🧡💙
Very impressed with Vinny. He's played good all season
His play has improved since Coffey got there. Not to mention his skating, 100% improvement in his skating. It's good to see the coaching staff have confidence in him!
Agreed, I thought he was a bum last season. If he continues to make that kind of yoy progress, he’s going to be a serious force and a steal for the Oilers.
The oilers of last year wouldn’t have been able to hold onto that lead in the third period. Love to see it
Derek Ryan he only played a few games but his commitment to the game and his defensive play he’s incredible
Jets fan here. go Oilers go!
Avs fan here. hahahahahaha
Thxs
Sorry about your team being stomped hard. Always next year.
Damn I wanted your Jets to win.
Dallas wins Western Conferece 😅
I was at the game last night. Holy fuck, it was a spectacular finale to an amazing series.
Imagine an Edmonton Vs Colorado Series to get to the cup....chills
Same result as 2022 WCF
Will be a fantastic series :) Avs' fan here.
Mackinnon vs McDavid for the cup. Literally doesn't get better than that
Throw in Makar and you have arguably the 3 best players in the world on the ice at once,
Im pretty convinced whoever wins the West, like the past two years….wins the cup.
2024 Draisaitl plays terrific defence. Props to Paul Coffey.
Kane. His attitude, his swagger, his compete level is exactly what the Oilers need.
Definitely HUGE props to Skinner and Desharnais. Skinner is turning into the goalie that they have always dreamed that he would, and Vinnie is that defender that comes out of the blue to go from a 7th man D to be arguably in the top 4 or 5.
After last year, so many pundits stated that Vinnie didn’t even deserve to be in the NHL. It was his first bloody year. Now look at him. He’ll make mistakes but he’s built for playoff hockey
the next Chara
kane, moving up to second line, he really wanted to and when he did get there he worked dang hard and made a difference! way to go!
Desharnais was SO good in game 4
He and Kulak are better than the mediocre Darnell Nurse.
@@jdsu2000 Darnell is a good skater but the amount of times I look to see who was on the ice when an opposing team scores and I see Darnell is wild😂
@@samuelpopovich5488almost like nurse is always out against the other teams superstars…
@@samuelpopovich5488keep in mind, Nurse is paired with Ceci, which is really tough to play with… Ceci has caused his fair share of turnovers this year and this playoffs alone
@@samuelpopovich5488yeah he plays against the top lines usually..higher offensive pressure too
I feel like nugent hopkins never gets enough love in videos he’s always solid.
He’s been almost invisible in his playoff career
@@hockeyethan1545 points in 54 career playoff games is not invisible as well as he plays a solid 200 foot game
@@Reaganmacleod12 came to say the same thing, too many people only look at 'goals' as visible. Nuge is so important in the play-offs.
He's reliable consistent and competent, you need players like that in the line-up, they can't all be game breakers and superstars. Nuge doesn't make many mistakes, he pitches in offensively and executes the fundamentals well, especially on the PP. Solid player and long time dedicated Oiler. He's a big part of the team!
He’s a key in both the PP, and the PK. Regardless of what people may notice, if those are doing well, Nug is doing well.
I'm gonna give Nurse props, not for being especially good - but for tightening up his shit and playing defense like a defenseman for once. There was that one moment last night where he pinched all the way down the wall and gave up a 2 on 1 and usually that type of play happens all the time.
Gotta give some credit to Paul Coffey for this
Oh yeah i saw that and said what a pinch nurse ha ha agreed. They often get overly passive and let the puck come to them. Even along the wall one small step to the puck is worth waiting a second for puck to come to you.. proud if the D core..i stipped clling ceci nono too. Hes done some goood!!❤❤❤
His time management has better than all previous years, he's not putting in 25 mins a game anymore, makes big difference. Not sure if that's all on Coffey, seems like Knoblauch likes to use the whole team, not just a few players like so many coaches before him.
Our defense played phenomenal smart, physical and consistent to me that was the biggest difference maker. LA couldn't get momentum back becuase they weren't being gifted chances like previous yrs. Our pp was out of this 🌍. 😊
McLeod is putting in serious work! The amount of times he's in the right place at the right time or he's up the ice putting pressure on the puck is downright impressive.
I appreciate his huge help in finding turnovers and reducing score chances.
I heard someone describe McLeod as a third line, Mcdavid and that's honestly pretty accurate, I'm really liking his play
exactly this
Agreed, Clouder has been impressive, good to see him take a few steps forward.
Holloway has more goals than Mathew's
matthews has a tummy ache
😂
Nice spelling, dunce
@Siksdev I heard food poisoning
Heard Matthews is allergic to playoff hockey…….
Hyman 🔥
happy you mentioned Desharnais! he made so many mistakes that cost goals last year. this year he is so poised and just hard to play against. its like he always makes the right decision now. testament to him and the new coaches.
Last year McDavid played injured, the year before it was Draisatil with a fractured ankle
This year healthy + adds like Hyman and Perry, a grown up Bouchard and Skinner + deepers like Foegele and Desharnais
It's playoffs, anything can happen but this looks promising to me too
Evan Bouchard has been on fire, he's playing absolutely amazing!
hope we can afford to keep him.
Skinner stood on his head for a lot of this series. If he can continue playing this well, the Oilers have a really good shot.
Kulak played great as a third pairing D.
There were definitely some standout performances, but I think the best part for me is that I don't think there's a single player that I would look at and think they shouldn't get another shift on their run. There weren't any passengers on this team, and even though Carrick was switched for Ryan, I thought both were fine and would be happy to see either one in any games going forward.
Actually true, there aren’t any players on this team who look like they aren’t trying. Looks like the boys bought in.
Carrick might be nursing an injury - he did get rocked in one of the games. I'm guessing but Ryan was an absolute beast when he lost his stick last night near the end of the game.
As an Avs fan, not looking forward any further than the next round. However, if those two were to meet in a rematch of the 2022 WCF’s, I definitely foresee a much tighter series. Oilers have been on the progression that teams that typically win a cup go through first before breaking through. It’s why folks should NEVER use regular season results to support how they think a series will go. I think the Oilers are almost certain to make it to the WCF’s as I don’t see the Nucks or Preds beating them in a series. Avs will have a tougher matchup in round two with either Dallas or Vegas as both of those teams are also seasoned playoff perennials.
First avs fan I have seen that posted a modest comment lol, Most have already written off Dallas/Vegas as a win. Both teams play a defensive game, but I think the VGK's are a better match up for the win for you guys. Your explosive offence shouldn't be an issue to take out Vegas. Dallas is the one to worry about, they smother the ice and i personally hate watching their boring clog up center ice brand of hockey, although obviously an effective play style the regular season.
@@MrSeviper03 When they play to their potential, they can look all worldly and our fanbase quickly starts to think they’re unbeatable. After the Jets series and having looked way better than at any point in the season and similar to the cup team, those fans come out in droves. If they hit a rough patch, those same fans will tell you all the reasons they suck, LOL. In all fairness, I’ve piped off myself in the past but realized there’s no value to it other than setting yourself up to get roasted later when the comment is completely wrong 😂
If we get to the wcf we mcsweeping again.
@@Mkby88 Hows that egg on your face tasting? Your not making it out of round two. Fair weather fans are funny.
@@MrSeviper03 its not looking good but its still not over. getting our ass wooped by a true contender not like you two frauds
Evan Bouchard, always an offensive threat but sometimes prone to defensive lapses was solid throughout this series.
True... he's always been an offensive threat - especially on the PP - but his defensive game has certainly improved. And Ceci too... he's been very effective without being flashy or noticeable. They could GO - ALL - THE - WAY 😎
He's actually improved his defense very well ever since they acquired Ekholm. People just overlook at his defense because he's more of a liability on the offense
9pts. He's such a great asset to the team :)
@@Kurdem03 I love Bouchard but he's always doing dumb shit on defense, like the dying seconds of a game instead of actually trying to stop the other team from getting a shot off he'll just sort of float 4 feet in front of them and wave his stick back n forth waiting for them to shoot lol. He waits for em to just basically give up the puck so they can pick it up and go back on the attack but then the puck ends up in the back of the net
Hell yeah I’m here for the Desharnais respect, man has been so solid!
Zach Hyman is playing awesome,lots of hustle in his game and Adam Henrique has been a nice add also. #LetsgoOilers
Blackhawks fan but rooting for the Oilers! Would mean a ton to Edmonton. This team can do it
With a City pfp it isn't surprising ur looking for a bandwagon ;)
@@shmooveyea no bandwagon haha and been a city fan for a long time. Not an oilers fan but since I have no team in the post season I find myself wanting Edmonton to win.
Can't agree more .. I love run and gun hockey but the fact the Oilers are winning both with big offensive games and big defensive ones is quite different (and super-awesome) to see
It's McDavid - he sets up plays like he's a chess master. Just amazing. And more gears are available!
JH, props bro 4 keeping up the standard all season & now in the play-offs, respect from the UK. Thanks.
I 100% agree and had many of the exact same thoughts. The oilers have depth which differs from previous years. Mcdavid and draisaitl are consistently amazing but not only was there production from the 3rd and 4th lines, those lines also had great pressure through the series. I thought even the one loss to LA this series was Edmonton’s to lose and was an unlucky play. Mcdavid and Drai can’t win a Stanley cup themselves, that’s not how you get it done. This team is different though
Awesome series from the boys!!!! I was at game 1 and 5 and the crowd was absolutely amazing, I don't know if I will have a voice for a week after that haha. Bring on the nucks or preds!!!
BTW I ended up using that promo code you gave out yesterday for this game and saved some cash so thanks for that bro!
LETS GO OILERS!!!!
Hyman has the best smile 😍
Bouchards game has been solid.
Skinner..
Who would've guessed
People keep talking about the lack of depth... but, all but 3 skaters earned points in this 5 game series against the #3 defense and #3 net PK in the regular season.
I think the long winning streaks changed this team. They really seemed to learn how to adapt their play to end up on top. 8 wins in a row, followed by 16 in a row. Not many teams are capable of that kind of consistency. I think that is where they showed their potential to put out sustained intensity.
The Oilers quest for the cup will ultimately go through Colorado and whoever comes out of the Vegas / Dallas series. Whichever team comes out on top in the west is going to win the SCF, and Edmonton has a real shot. Definitely agree that this team just feels different than the past few seasons. You can see their maturity in the way they have changed defensively.
Ryan McCleod super underrated solid well rounded game first round
"Life moves fast in the playoffs... " So freaking true
Kane's turned into a beast this round, earning his way up to the 2nd line with Drai
The whole PK squad. 12 for 12 - Shut the Kings out.
I love Vinny
It’s awesome to see the team collaboration this year
That one loss was also in overtime.
Our coaching staff is pushing sll the right buttons. Theyre overlooked in all this.
Watching the game last night I said to my partner that it was the best defense I've seen from the Oilers by far. The third period was just shutting down everything the Kings tried to do. Mid game there was just this four minute chunk where no whistles were blown and the Kings kept moving the puck up only for the Oilers to throw it back down the ice. Just NOTHING was happening.
I'm still skeptical though. I'm waiting for the glass cannon to come out and shatter buuuuuut prove me wrong Oilers.
The eighties called
They want their oilers back
I’m a flames fan at heart but happy for Edmonton and the oilers. Hoping they can break the curse and being the cup back where it belongs 🇨🇦🍁
Holloway was phenomenal
I feel like the whole team, Beyond just MdC and Leo, have stepped up. We're getting good efforts from everyone and it is showing as well as being rewarded. Been an Oilers fan for decades & living in Edmonton I know the feeling of that disappointment when things fail and end but this season has felt different and I am here for it. Regardless of how they finish this year's team has a lot to be proud of and if they keep growing like they have it is just a matter of time until the Cup is theirs. IMO.
I thought Mattias Janmark was remarkably sharp on the penalty kill and handled the puck well on that fourth line. He even chipped in a few assists.
it definitely feels like the best we've been in recent years heading into round 2. I still have my doubts about whether we can compete with the likes of Vegas, Avs, or even Florida over a 7 game series. but having guys like Hyman, Holloway, Vinny etc. and especially Stu stepping up massively can only be a good thing. 💙🧡
Kraken fan here rooting for the Oilers for win it all baby! I just feel this is their year.
I love this team! I'm in Atlanta, everybody thinks we don't care. Hey we care.
Holloway is gonna be a star player in the future
Boucher , Kane, Hyman, and Corey all stood out to me besides McDavid and his dynamic partner Drysdale. Those Oiler fans are stellar:):)
GO OILERS GO !!!! GET STANLEY FOR US :):)
Where’s the love for Zack Hyman in the comments? Man’s been playing consistently this whole series.
Keep the oilers content coming!
Glad to see Hollywood get his flowers
Fernando Pisani!!! I haven't heard that name in a long time, the Oil with Pronger was an unreal playoff run.
Their 17 game heater looked a lot more like game 4 than the other games. Casuals just don't know and that's ok.
Kane impressed me the most. For about the last half of the season it seemed Kane wasn't playing, but he was. In the past couple of games he has made an impact with opening the scoring.
150% swing on special teams between the two clubs in the series. That has to be a record.
It's so good for the Oilers that the other side of the west was SOOOOOO stacked. Whoever makes the conference final from those 3 will be DRAINED
I am dreaming about final Toronto vs Edmonton, full Canadian final.... I am a dreamer...
I love the improvements Vinny made this year. He used to be a liability last year but now he’s using his size to his advantage and is more or less a very solid defensive defenceman. Of course he’s going to have plays where he’s will get cooked but that’s the playoffs and hes a good reliable defender. I am so happy for him and the leaps that he has taken in his game
I really hope we play against Vancouver!!! No way a 3rd goalie or even the backup can play as well as the la kings goalies did and the oilers lit them up
Edmonton put on a CLINIC yesterday in the 3rd period, defending that 4-2 lead. Until LA made it 4-3. the only thing they could do was dump the puck into Edmonton's zone or try to skate it in, which resulted in Edmonton engaging in a puck battle, winning said puck battle, and then sending it out of their zone. 15 minutes into the 3rd period, LA only had 3 shots on net. At one point, their players were blocking their own shots and not Edmonton.
Edmonton showed that defensive game they utilitzed during the 16-game win streak, and it's no surprise they came out of LA only allowing 1 goal against in 2 games. It was a well executed plan. Do I think they still win it? No. But they showed that if they play like that, they have a shot. And that's all they need to make magic happen
Nuge was a beast on the pk
Hyman gets top marks from me! More than just a guy who gets passes from Mcdavid to score goals he grinds and fights his way into the right spots, their is a reason he is the leading goal scorer on the Oilers this post-season.
Oilers fan here, I'm cautiously optimistic. The pp got them thru the series, it won't be that easy going forward. Last playoffs same issue, less teams taking penalties and this productively plummeted
Perfect PK was pretty important to the series win, their 5v5 scoring wasn't horrible either - don't be a doomer.
vinnys quickness is not an issue if the other team has to skate around the seaweed to get to the puck
vinny holding those two kings players is hilarious lmao
Yes. They've beaten the hapless Kings 3 years in a row. Can they make it to the conference final and beyond though, that is the question!
The one thing I’ll say about Edmonton is you better not take penalties against them. I can just imagine the LA coach bashing his head in the locker room after every word “Stop. Taking. Penalties.”
Die hard oiler fan here. Love what i saw from my boys this series... But I am still terrified of Van and Dal.. Im not sure we can keep up with either. Col would be a tough out as well.
If you're terrified of Vancouver you should go hide in the closet
We'll tell you when it's safe to come out
Kane deserves a break and got it! Finally! We have an mature Edmonton Oilers team...whoever they're playing, or beating next, is going to have their hands full!😉
Ur takes are so good
I love that my Oilers are looking like the future Cup Champions. The only thing I don't love is after the 2nd Round it looks like the Oilers are going to be the only Canadian left after having 4 different contenders at the start.
I’m a Holloway fan. That kid has great hands and speed, like a poor man’s McDavid. Thanks for giving props to him. Should be a great series against Van. There’ll be strong blood lust in Western Canada.
One difference I noticed this year from last year is that McDavid isn't killing himself to turn out a win. He's almost coasting and just making things happen effortlessly it seems. In the past two playoff runs, it seemed like he had more weight on his shoulders, more pressure, etc so he went balls to the walls and battled extra hard. This time he's more relaxed and just doing his thing, being efficient, staying calm and being the leader the Oilers need him to be. He will need to turn it up a notch next round though!
I've been following the Oilers since the Gretzky era; just an avid hockey fan keeping tabs. Ever since M. Ekholm donned an Oilers jersey, I've been impressed with his assimilation into Edmonton's scheme. To me, he's a blue-line stud. Final note: ultimately, the Oilers will only go as far as their goal tending takes them, and Skinner makes me nervous. Extremely.
Brett Kulak is the depth we need!
#55 is coming into his own I think.
Another scary thing, when asked who the best oilers has been, notice everyone in the comments saying different players
Great video thanks
Nuge's forecheck is one of the best in the league.
His back check too, 200' player all day, everyday.
Edmton is such a good team will go in a deep playoff run
Colorado vs Edmonton is gonna be one hell of a series
Nugent is always reliable. Hes always where he needs to be and skating hard.
