The Habs are gone, so that means the Bitter Bandwaggoner Habs fan has returned. That means I’ll be writing TSMs for whichever games I happen to watch. Get ready for a lot of Anaheim and Pittsburgh/Washington.
Anaheim vs Edmonton
First Period
- McDavid vs Kesler, that’s 90% of what we’ve heard going into this series, and early on, we sure have seen a lot of that match-up.
- Kassian and Desharnais on the same team…this is very weird for me as a Habs fan…
- It’s going to make me pretty unpopular, probably, but I’m rooting for the Ducks, mostly because of the whole Ducks-are-the-Utah-Grizzlies-NHL-Affiliate thing, but at the same time, rooting against McJesus, Draisaitl, Nurse, and some of these other guys is definitely tough.
- Oh Drai, that’s not the sort of penalty you want to take…
- “Scrum dog millionaires” haha amazing.
- Possibly unpopular opinion, I love the Ducks’ jerseys.
- I don’t love the Oilers going on the power play quite so much…/
Second Period
- Oh boy that was a gorgeous goal from Getzlaf.
- GIBBY.
- Oh no, a 5-on-3 situation
- Oh great. Getzlaf breaks his stick, and it’s basically 5-on-2.
- Aaaaand Edmonton goal.
- Please do not run over Gibby…
- Haven’t seen Bieksa in a while.
- I dunno if it’s because I got distracted by other things, but the second period has been much more boring than the first since the goals were scored.
- That was a bit of a scary situation for Nurse, sans helmet!/
Third Period
- No Bieksa on the bench.
- This game has been pretty even overall, but the Ducks sure did come out hot to start the third!
- Carlyle shuffling lines a little, it looks like.
- Not Kesler vs. McDavid though. That’s still very, very much a thing.
- Uh oh. I have a bad feeling about this penalty kill.
- Yeeeahhhh. That’s about what I meant. Letes2.
- Well. Um. Ducks not looking so hot anymore. What a disaster from the Ducks, and a nice shot from Larsson.
- MAJOR EAVES. The Ducks’ goal horn is awesome.
- Kay. Now get another one.
- Uh oh… be ok Getzlaf…be ok…
- REDEMPTION FOR SILFVERBERG, AND WE’RE ALL TIED UP.
- Ah bah. Edmonton challenges.
- GOOD GOAL. The comeback kings strike again!
- That was good. Now get another, Anaheim.
- Oh my. Drai has points on every Edmonton goal!
- Well that was…horribly unlucky. Come on Anaheim. You know what you gotta do.
- No more McDavid vs Kesler.
- Boy this series is FUN.
- Draisaitl scores into the empty net! What a game he’s had. That’s his fourth point of the night.
- Kesler and Kassian end their nights in the box after a scrum gathers with 3.7 left in the game!
- This series really, really is going to be a lot of fun.
- Oilers win 5-3!/
