To expect anything resembling details in hockey analysis from these two is asking a lot. They are drama and story creators. There is a reason Bones is 100000x better on the panel than Elliotte. Actual hockey analysis.
@@OilersHD97 coach bowness was fantastic last night. so glad HNIC is using him. loved his positive attitude, joking around and provided fantastic analogies of important plays of the game. appreciated how classy he was towards both DAL and EDM.
To say the Oilers are not getting scoring from the bottom isn't quite true. Dallas 10th in scoring has 4 points - Edmonton's 10th has 3 pts. Where the real difference is, Edmonton's top level scorers have twice the points of Dallas's top guy's.
Your comment got me thinking, and I couldn't help myself but dive deeper. I think there is a clear difference between Stars forwards and Oilers. The 10th and 11th scorers for both teams are only 1 point apart, but there are 4 defensemen in the top 11 for Edmonton, only 1 for Dallas. Scoring % by defensemen: Edmonton: 27.34% Dallas: 20.75% Goals by top 3 forwards: Edmonton: 25 - 65.79% Dallas: 15 - 45.45% Difference: 7 - 20.33% Points by top 3 forwards: Edmonton: 65 - 64.36% Dallas: 34 - 40.96% Difference: 31 - 23.39% Forwards with a goal: Edmonton: 10 Dallas: 13 Forwards with 2 assists or more: Edmonton: 6 Dallas: 12 So a few thoughts: - Edmonton's defensemen get a lot of assists and more goals, I am guessing due to their exposure to the top end Edmonton talent but I haven't watched them closely enough to say - Edmonton's top 6 is pretty insane - Edmonton's bottom 6 is not as good as Dallas, but they are better defensively than given credit - Dallas has exceptional balance in their scoring lines - Dallas played a much better defensive team in the first round, which lead to 6 less goals scored in the first round compared to Edmonton with 2 more games played
Dallas was off... all game. Sloppy. Was a great game, fun, entertaining but damn. Dallas will play much better game 2 i would think as they seem to hate game 1s but i expect the oilers to play better as well. This series is going to be fun. 🍻
It is interesting that Dallas has now lost every single game one this playoffs. It's like they're purposely spotting the other team a one game lead each series.
Why do you say that? I mean he's been willing to spend, invest, what's he doing that's so bad. Canes are better off as an organization than they have been in a while?
He made Waddell offer sheet KK to get even with the clown Bergevin for accidentally helping extend Aho to a good contract by doing all the work involved. Problem was it backfired, even Bergevin was smart enough not to match even if he wasted the 1st pick on Dvorak. Extending Jesperi too long for too much he made the Carolina salary cap problem worse. Now the talent deserving of new deals will be thinned out, can't keep all their good young RFAs.
Not game 5 - Oilers were pretty much owned by the Canucks (I think more than just Ek and McD were sick). I called an Oilers series win after game 5 much to the chagrin of Canuck fans. Why? That was easily the best game of the playoffs, if not the entire season, played by the Canucks. Oilers played like crap - and Vcr needed a goal with 36 seconds left to beat them. That was pretty sad
The double minor penalty is a situation that has to be fixed. Too many times we see players getting 4 minutes for an accidental clip. Originally, the high sticking penalty was doled out in situations where a player genuinely had his stick too high. Now, it happens too often, usually because the game is faster. The NHL went from no head protection to helmets to visors. It's time to start the process of putting full face shields on players, phased in like helmets were phased in.. This will eliminate penalties for accidental clips. High sticking can still be called, but it will be a much clearer call. NFL players wear better head protection and the speed is less. Why are we living in the past? BTW. I think the hockey gods stepped in for McDavid ... karma.
Gotta be in control of your stick at all times. Accidental or not. McDavid would be in the box for that high stick regardless, even with a cage cause a high stick is a high stick
@@GFY_FS And, Duchene should have been in the box for holding McDavid's stick. Bad ref'ing last night and I usually don't criticize the refs because it's a very difficult job.
@@monicaarisman4293 Remember, the refs missed McDavid's high stick too. It was the linesman that actually called it once the play stopped. Rules allow linesmen to notify the refs about high sticking fouls but not holding the stick.
That high stick also knocked Duchene out of the game for 3 minutes of game time to get repairs to his face. NHL has a rule that if you're cut and bleeding you have to leave the ice for as long as it takes to stop the bleeding. If you hurt a player enough that they have to spend time not being able to play then shouldn't that be worth more than just a 2 minute penalty?
Where do people get this notion that rempe will change the rangers fortunes 😂😂 Florida is built to go toe for toe on physicality rempe wont have a big impact stop gassing this crap
Where do you come out on this - do you even watch 'mcdiver' play. You think he gets all his points by 'flopping"? You do realize we want him to dive more because he knows he can create a scoring chance with EVERY rush - but guess what? He can't if he's 'diving' and laying on the ice. You must be a canuck fan - a total of TWO penalties drawn by McD in the series, and JT MIller was allowed to bear hug him all the way down the ice - and who cried to the officials when his stick was grabbed at the end - immediately? Yep JT Miler. Give it a rest and watch a game for once to see what he goes through - then get back to me on all his dives.
Connor was at the end of a minute long shift when Lindell caught him. Figure it out gentleman. 🤦♂️

I think there is a clear difference between Stars forwards and Oilers.
The 10th and 11th scorers for both teams are only 1 point apart, but there are 4 defensemen in the top 11 for Edmonton, only 1 for Dallas.
Scoring % by defensemen:
Edmonton: 27.34%
Dallas: 20.75%
Goals by top 3 forwards:
Edmonton: 25 - 65.79%
Dallas: 15 - 45.45%
Difference: 7 - 20.33%
Points by top 3 forwards:
Edmonton: 65 - 64.36%
Dallas: 34 - 40.96%
Difference: 31 - 23.39%
Forwards with a goal:
Edmonton: 10
Dallas: 13
Forwards with 2 assists or more:
Edmonton: 6
Dallas: 12
So a few thoughts:
- Edmonton's defensemen get a lot of assists and more goals, I am guessing due to their exposure to the top end Edmonton talent but I haven't watched them closely enough to say
- Edmonton's top 6 is pretty insane
- Edmonton's bottom 6 is not as good as Dallas, but they are better defensively than given credit
- Dallas has exceptional balance in their scoring lines
- Dallas played a much better defensive team in the first round, which lead to 6 less goals scored in the first round compared to Edmonton with 2 more games played
It's really too bad Jack Michaels and Louie DeBrusk aren't calling these Oilers games..
I can't wait for McDavid to become a free agent. He will then sign with our beloved Leafs. He will look great in a Leafs uniform.
Oilers have to end this quick. Speed blitz.
WHY DOES WADDELL WANT TO LEAVE CAROLINA ?
If y'all walk to the game bring two bottles of water (you won't pee), wear a hat and stop in a shop if you need. Enjoy a cloud if you are so lucky.
Rangers need to get Rempe on the ice to fire up the crowd.
For sure, I thought the suit was for the Oilers, and a bit of journalistic bias. But hey, we are Canadians over here!
NJD Mercer and a pick for Ullmark. Mercer has played centre
try the ribs
Nice yellow watch Elliot

Let's go oilers
Waddell isn't the problem in Carolina, it's megalomaniac Dudon. Acting out of spite is fun and games until it blows up in your face.
Why do you say that? I mean he's been willing to spend, invest, what's he doing that's so bad. Canes are better off as an organization than they have been in a while?

@@spooley well explained. you def know your stuff. KK was a huge overpay because of dum-dum dundon's ego lol.
“the mcdavid stare that can melt skin off your body”what …😂cringe
the series is over - edmonton dominated vancouver. vancouver got LUCKY to win ANY of the games they won.

If not for skinner pooping the bed, there may not have been a game 5… :).
Another lame hire by kings. At least they are consistent

Horrible ending.. mcdiver scoring
Great ending!…lol
The penalties were 5-1 in Dallas favor. That's not enough?
Where do you come out on this - do you even watch 'mcdiver' play. You think he gets all his points by 'flopping"? You do realize we want him to dive more because he knows he can create a scoring chance with EVERY rush - but guess what? He can't if he's 'diving' and laying on the ice.

Yep JT Miler. Give it a rest and watch a game for once to see what he goes through - then get back to me on all his dives.
Wow. Give it a rest. I just don't like him...that is my nickname for him. I have been a hockey fan for over 30 years. I have a right to my opinion
@@deannawilliams6471 not when it’s a lie..you will be called out every time!
I only saw the highlights. It seemed that Ed,omton had the betterof the play.
