- Let's do this!
Leon Draisaitl and Ethan Bear came up big as the Edmonton Oilers beat the Flames 3-2, dealing Calgary's playoff hopes a crushing blow. Such a shame, eh. Bruce McCurdy and David Staples of the Cult of Hockey dig in. By the Faithful. And for the Faithful.
2:30am in Halifax. Stayed up for this one! Thanks fellas!
4:00 pm here in China!
I could hear Ethan Bear yell loud when Kahun scored. That's shit pumped me up.
Congrats on your game grades Bruce!
Turtle-chucks post game interviews are hilarious!!
Bear was good tonight Real good !
there was a stretch where I mistook him for a winger.
Seems like he bounced back from his injury.
Watching from Scotland!
Thanks guys as always. We all appreciate the great work
Go Ethan Bear!!!

Completely agree on the Alex Chiasson assessment .....simply just a good pro ....
All-round great passing on the Kahun goal, with a world-class, freeze-the-goalie, thread-the-needle assist by Yamo.
Love the commentary. Enjoyed it from Turks and Caicos. You guys should do a show down here... ;-)
Weow...Flames need to be torn down, pretty lacklustre for a must win! Sure am glad we didn't land Markstrom.
it's funny as fuck seeing Tkachuck wasting flames Powerplays with his stupid between the legs shot that he tries to do like 20 times per game
We need to find Stalock a start, see what kind of player we have before the deadline. I don’t think Holland can sit on his hands this year, he needs to find a Maroon like trade to make this team better.
We got games against Ottawa this week. That would be a perfect first game for Stalock to get his feet wet. Though I doubt Tippett will do it.
RNH will be the best 3C in the show once he gets his points this season as McDavid's 1LW so he can get paid. Kind of like how the Leafs throw Hyman around the lineup to improve depth. Hopefully Holloway or Benson can be the 1LW we need next season. I think it will more likely be Holloway if he's good enough since [Benson - McDavid - Yams] would be too small on the wings for Tippet. D prospects and F prospects coming in to improve our historically bad depth.... which leaves a big FA signing for a quality goaltender. We'll have our pick this summer. Oilers should be big time contenders next year if Holland plays his cards right!!
Goalies are such a gamble. Smith is almost 40 and playing all world. Murray is looking washed up in his mid 20s. It's crazy.
We all need to gofundme for the cult to set them up for live streams for the post games!
These should really be livestreamed. Edm journ and COH probably doesn't want them livestreamed though. Too many issues nowadays my guess.
Or they should get a decent pair of mics...
@@themorethemerrier281 better than the ones in the multi million dollar HOF room for a billion dollar organization.
@@marcosorbetti7639 honestly, not wanting to sound offensive, but It seems to me its more a lack of technical inability, sadly.
Remember when Staples suggested Jones was a better player then an injured Klefbom?
Me too.
Let's get him!
@@billbill3915 David’s analysis of talent is often reminiscent of one, Pete Chiarelli...
... and I like Caleb Jones.
Jones can become a strong player however he needs to find a way to straighten out his defence first
Bear is very good at processing the game. He'll have a Sekara type career if he stays healthy.
Loved the Barcelona references
If you want to see what Chiason brings to the oilers compare this game to the Montreal game.. his hockey iq is underrated
Hes a pesky forward to play against, plays the dirty areas, and yeah being able to find the puck in the blue paint while being roughed up is pretty high iq.
Thank goodness Bruce got to do the game grades. (Calgary is saving him there.) It wasn't a great game by Edmonton, but I did have the feeling throughout (as David did) that the Oilers would win. The Flames just aren't very good this season, and now their season is effectively done. Several good Oilers in this game, but my goodness Puljujarvi and Kassian were bad.
I was happy RNH and Kahun got goals tonight. Hopefully that's the start of both of them heating up a bit.
I really like Chiasson. He gets in around the net and gives the opposition goalie fits. I agree with your assessment on Barrie. I was yelling at the TV when he took that shot at the end of the power play. It was very poor strategic awareness.
This is the problem with Barrie and why I would consider all aspects of his performance this season rather than just his offensive side when it comes time for contract renewal. Elite offensive producing D man but in games like this playoff style game he does get exposed and this is why I think they'll be cautious with him in the offseason in a flat cap era
And for him being said Elite offensive defensemen to not be able to get his shots through to the net? Not good...
AHHH Brrrrruuuuuucccccccccccccccccccccccceeeee get to put the nail in the Flames coffin with todays game grades. Playoff Bound!!!!
Bear's play has vastly improved and his ability to make plays is very high. However, he still makes forays behind the opposing team's net that give him little chance of getting back into the play to interfere with an opposition rush (because of his foot speed). I hope this changes before the playoffs begin.
David, it’s Riley Odom (no S). I loved that Broncos team (pre-Elway.)
Would the mcdavid game winner be a grade A or grade B chance in your assessment?
Bear is not playing with Nurse because Barrie is awful defensively and has been carried by Nurse for quite some time now.. I mean who you going to have out there? Joney with Barrie or Russell with Barrie, those defensive pairing are already proven to stink
This game was so close...
Key game against Montreal in a couple nights if they win that one they could go on a real hot streak and even catch the leafs with 2 games vs Ottawa and then two against Vancouver afterwards.
Vancouver games will be cancelled. They have as many as 20 players with Covid now
Dave lack of recognition equals cheap contract renewal lol. Maybe 🤷
I would like that player for around 1 to 1.25 or so for 1 year at a time. Not sure that gets it done though because of all those things he does. The flat cap might get that done. Who knows
And who do you put with Barrie? Russell, Jones, and Lagesson would all make iffy combos with Barrie in my opinion. If Klefbom isn't back next season then maybe they do need to look at a guy like Ekholm. I don't wanna see another higher cost D man but they might not have a choice
Sit Barrie put in Bouchard for the eastern series!!!!
Barrie's lack of strategic intelligence is a cause for concern. He may have piled up a lot of points during the regular season, but playoffs are a completely different case. His attempted / blocked shot at the end of the power play was the cause of Tkachuk's breakaway goal, and it showed a lack of strategic thinking on Barrie's part.
Bear in top 4? First stretch the entire year playing well. Leave him the 5 or 6.
Larsson is a good second pairing shut down 20 min a night defender. Please don't conflate Larsson as a top 4 four or Holland will pay him 6 x 7.
I agree, Larsson is not a top pairing D-man on a good to elite team (not even currently on Oil)...what’s concerning is the falling in love with marginal players who wouldn’t crack elite team lineups. Larsson, Chiasson, Haas, Khaira, Nygard, Shore, Barrie, (previously Russell) are all useful players (Barrie offensively elite) nice guys and so on but those are the players whose contracts are expiring. If they are deemed so important then the team can’t improve because there will be not enough roster spots for anyone new, not to mention they’ll block the youth as we are seeing now with Bouchard. Playing against only North division teams seems to really be clouding their assessment in comparison to the elite teams in the league. If they seriously want to win a cup in the next few years, they’ll have to turn over these marginal players for younger, cheaper, faster in house players who are more suited to compete against the skilled elite teams.
I doubt Holland assesses his assets from media opinions.
@@billbill3915 I agree
99 thumbs up.... conspiracy!
JJ is JJJJ Joke
I dont think I'd consider a 3-2 game a vanquishing nice try tho. Go leafs go
Get lost. Leafs are a mirage.
@@cheechdubinsky6709 The Habs and Leafs own you. We have already figured you out
Go Troll somewhere else. Its always Leaf or Habs fans talking shit in Oilers videos. Get a life
