I think the Oilers really could’ve had the upper hand if AP gets a suspension. It’s unfortunate that this retaliation evens the score. If you’re concerned about winning the series then this was probably the worst way to do it.
Maybe Nurse was considered the response, but there would be a complete fan meltdown, including predictions of another ten-year drought and the need to wipe the slate clean.
please don’t take offense to this, but I will probably need to go through this topic and hide the non-playoff related posts. There’s no reason to have ongoing Sabres discussion in this topic.
The most underappreciated aspect of hockey is how much randomness affects the game. Reinhart doesn’t score that overtime goal if the goalie didn’t happen to look the wrong way during the wraparound. No one can predict that. No one can predict goals that bounce off of two players and hit the back of the net.
I am surprised at how passive we were given how fast this team is now. The better teams really seem to take away our time and space on the PP. It didn’t feel like we did the same to them.
