Not quite the game 2 I had imagined.
Oilers need to find some kind of spark for game 3. Maybe not take so many stupid penalties?

Yep, I didn't see that one coming either. Certainly couldn't have guessed the backup would pitch a shutout. Wild stuff.
But that's the great thing about playoff hockey--anything can happen.

Really surprised with Rangers grittiness and will. To be up 2-0 is a surprise. Igor is a monster for sure.
Avs/oilers seems a little lopsided after game 2. Oilers needed to show and they got heeled. Game 3 will say this is a rollover or maybe the Oil can climb back in

Well let's see how Game 3 goes.
Oilers need to tighten up defensively, not take stupid penalties, and for no goaltending gaffes.
All Colorado needs to do is keep their speed up and dictate the pace of the game.

Oh there is no way you can win 4 straight against the Avalanche.
That flubby 5 hole goal on Smith though...
Avs are a beast team. They just keep coming with shots.. But no Kadri will be tough. Kane is a POS.
Kane hurts the Oilers right off the bat by drawing a 5 minute penalty. I thought that was terrible on his part. But the Oilers gave it their all and had the Avs on the ropes, just couldn't knock them out. Goaltending almost always wins Cups. Overall, Oilers weren't desperate enough, a huge loss for them and their fans.
But never say never on a Oiler comeback. I'm still all in for an Av/Ranger Stanley Cup match up and bringing the Cup here to Colorado. Let's see how desperate TB can play tomorrow night. Go Rangers ! Go Avs !

Haha agree, but Kadri is not exactly winning any Man of the Year awards himself ?
Indeed. Neither will ever have a Lady Byng trophy on their mantle. ?
Kane reminds me a little bit of an Oiler several years ago, Raffi Torres, but with a slightly toned-down act. League has cracked down considerably on that kind of stuff since Torres hung up the skates.

Rangers seemed to quit playing in the 3rd. Congrats to TB for the comeback. But I must admit I want TB out of it, two Cups for them is enough. Go Rangers !
Kane should be tossed from the playoffs for cross checking Kadri purposely into the boards, two shots in the back. I always look at goon plays and access if there is "intent to injure." There clearly was. And he's clearly injured. As far as goons go? There's no comparison to Kane versus Kadri.
