alfredoh2009 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 good luck to all past Habs, including Kulak Meet Brett Kulak: the unsung hero of the #LetsGoOilers run to Game 7. Kulak could’ve been a cap casualty at the deadline. Instead, the local kid has elevated his game - and steadied two struggling partners to solidify #Oilers’ defense pairs.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Nice. I always liked Kulak and would enjoy seeing him raise Lord Stanley’s Mug. I’d guess the odds to be about 60-40 in FLA’s favour, but really, it’s anyone’s guess. Edmonton has this habit of getting stronger and stronger as series progress. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 Pretty wild stats about McDavid’s performance when Barkov is on and off the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I feel badly for McDavid. He must be inconsolable. Maybe Price will give him a call to commiserate about what it’s like to be a franchise player who watches the other guys skate around with the Cup. FLA only needed to bring their premium defensive game once, and they waited to the end, but brought it. They’re full value, as almost every Cup winner is - that trophy is one brutally hard mofo to win. (Watching this, it seems unimaginable that the Habs will ever win it again, but of course things change very quickly in sports). For my money, the really disappointing thing from Edmonton was Dreiseitl. Great in the dot, I guess, solid two-way game, but he generated next to nothing offensively. In Game 7, McDavid set him up twice by the side of the net, right where he likes it, and both times were flubs. He must have been injured, because otherwise that performance is pretty disastrous…probably the single most important variable explaining the Oiler defeat. If you are built around two league-leading superstars, you need both of them to step up in the clutch, not just one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so good in the three rounds before the final though and has always been good in the playoffs so I wonder if he was hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Kudos to Florida, it's a hard grind to get to the final and to do that 2 years in a row is an accomplishment to be proud of. Deserving champions. Kudos to the Oilers, they never quit, just came up a little short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 I couldn’t believe Maurice said that he hopes Winnipeg wins the next cup. He doesn’t want Florida to repeat? Sorry that Edmonton lost but happy for Maurice. He is a genuine good guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I did not watch the playoffs closely () but what little I saw of the Finals it didn't look to me like Draisaitl was moving well.

And the year he didn't lose in the Final... he lost to the Leafs, which as we all know, no other team has done in the post-04/05 lockout era. Bigger OUCH! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
