Sorry about being late with the post game comments. I got a Covid booster yesterday that wiped me out. Anyway, enjoy the rest of the Game 1 WTS:
Post Game
I’ve got blue balls
At least we now know that Mike Smith is not a Highlander.
I guess until they win in the playoffs they can't, so there's that
This team never f***ing learns. 7 consecutive playoff losses.
Bad, but could have been worse. Oilers never held a lead. At least Smith threw the game away in regulation instead of doing that in OT where it would have been even more gut wrenching.
Smith has lost his last 10 playoff games.
I guess the complaint of not getting powerplays won't work this time.
Reading this thread I was sure we had already lost the series. But that’s HFOil. There are euphoric highs and catastrophic lows, no middle ground.
Where was the April Smith?
–Back in April. We get May Smith now.
Sorry boys, this was all my buddy's fault.We were sitting at our seats with 7 minutes to play and he mentioned how the game is going to OT and how little sleep hes going to have since he'll have to work in a few hours.
I hope that sleep is worth it, Jeff.
–God dammit Geoff!
When did the Oilers become so hated? We're not at Vegas levels, but wow.
There's currently five (5) different threads on the front page of r/hockey solely dedicated to ****ting on the Oilers, and I'm willing to bet the comment sections of the other Oilers related threads share a similar sentiment.
–And every one of those threads paints Draisaitl as the dirtiest prick who’s ever played. I know other fan bases don’t watch our games often but he’s easily top five in the league and gets zero respect.
And Matthews is the second coming apparently…
–Draisaitl is dirty if we’re being honest.
–It’s been like that for years. **** r/hockey and let’s win the cup.
–We're the only team that didn't get blown out last night and every 2nd post on r/hockey is about how ****ty we are.
–Don’t go on r/hockey until the playoffs is over, problem solved. I won’t be
–To be honest, I've had less and less desire to go on there in general for quite an extended period. Probably for the best, it's such a toxic circlejerk of a sub.
–It’s no different than here.
–Tampa players be like "We lost 5-0, but did you see Smith's ****up!? LOLZ!!! Glad we arent the Oilers, amirightz!?"
–r/hockey might be the most unintelligent, circle jerking, dog **** hockey forum on the internet tbh.
The GDT was toxic cesspool.
Just a bunch of man-babies dumping an endless stream of negativity into the thread, including a bunch of people I’ve never seen before.
It’s playoff hockey. Things will go wrong. Being upset is fine, throwing a whiny tantrum isn’t.
Show some maturity.
–to be entirely fair to the man-babies, we've all dealt with a lot of disappointment over the years so any small regression can feel like reverting back to the norm
