Funny how Gretzky of all people was angry about the defense and even said "wish I played in games like this."
I appreciated the comments about "be happy with a 3 goal lead"... and how a team like TB, up 3-0, is perfectly fine winning 3-0. And it's pretty clear the Avalanche defensemen have the full-ice green light all the time no matter what, so you end up with those Makar/MacKinnon pairings when the Oilers are on the rush because Toews is somewhere in offensive face off circle. Interested in the ECF... most times the better goaltending and defensive responsible team will win a long series, but these WC teams scoring 7 goals a game.... |

I'm just glad my bet that they'd make it this far is paying off! I tried this last year and ended up going to no games and just being sad. |

I would normally assume things would tighten up quite a bit tonight, but who knows if that means far fewer goals with the goalie situations... I really have to assume Smith starts getting a shorter leash eventually (granted, the 6 goals were on something like 28 shots in 30 minutes). Should be another fun game, and all that talent on the ice from both sides will be a blast to watch live! |

Frankie is in net tonight. Kuemper is out, so Annunen will be the backup.
Honestly, I'm kind of OK with it. Kuemper hasn't looked the same since he took the stick to the eye. Whether that's truly the issue right now, I have no idea, but I'm OK with giving Frankie a chance to see what he can do. |

The Oilers provide NO resistance through the neutral zone.... they're not even trying to slow down the Avalanche.

The intermission entertainment is some girl doing one of those upside down painting things. I am whelmed.

Oilers had a relatively decent 1st period (at least Smith did, and besides the penalties and all the SOG... but the bar is low)..... they look like complete shit in the 2nd.
WTF was up with icing the puck 8 times to start the period? Then the terrible passes in their own zone, losing a 2 on 1 puck battle before the 2nd goal... damn. |

Gotta admit it's a little strange sitting with Gretzky in my field of view all game.
