Draisaitl's winning goal an absolute thing of beauty

You're telling me. I was sitting watching thinking the Oilers/McDavid haven't done anything for like 10 minutes offensively and then that. I know it was on the power play, but the saucer pass from McDavid was incredible......

The fact the sport's not bigger over there baffles me TBH...

I'm only new to it but really enjoy it but wish there weren't as many stoppages for icing, and where goalie picks it up they stop again haha I'm sure I'll get used to it and it's rules the more I watch

There are a lot of of stoppages but then you also get long 5+ minute stretches of intense action with no pause. I have to watch standing up sometimes because it’s too intense for me.

There are also breaks specifically for ads in the middle of the period so if there hasn't been an icing that gets called as well.

These are tight games and it's the very end of a long season so they're probably gasping.

Yeah I understand they'll be knackered but I'm like ahhh I was just getting into that haha, should be a rule that goalie has to release puck or can only hold it so many times per period so the game flows better

Yeah I love it when there's a good few minutes without a break and it's end to end with loads of strong tackles and shots etc

Well, I guess creating locker room tension only works if you win. Thanks Pete, see you around.

You called it

I thought he'd get more time actually, but I can see why Nill decided to let him go now. Now on to the next one, no idea who that should be.

Do you think Robertson stays now?

I don't know anything about Robertson rumors, or at least I've actively avoided all rumors since the WCFs ended

But I do like Robertson and hope he stays, even if he has chicken legs

They need the cap space and some better roster balance. There’s enough scoring but their defense after Miro, Harley, and Lindell is very weak. Edmonton really feasted on those lower pairs.

Seeing Marchand bagging twice all alone made me hate him even more. Who does he think he is, does he actually know how to play the game? Koff Brad!

Always rated him. Brilliant player having on you side.

And then something completely different:

I just wanna bring back Goalies going into the corners and get rid of their quadrant aka “safe space” .. was well better watching them go for the puck, get crunched and panic skate back to the net.
