Edmonton Oilers And Calgary Flames Exchange Handshakes Following Their Five-Game Series

Watch as the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames exchange handshakes after the Oilers advanced to the Western Conference Final in five games, and Connor McDavid joins Scott Oake to talk about his game-winning goal.

[@pdubcentral]

As someone who has watched every game he’s played in the nhl, that was as off a night as he’s had. But seeing the score at 4-4 I spent the whole time just waiting for him to make his mark. Elite players have a way of doing that, even when they’re not at their best they still come through. His performance in games six and seven were something else. Today he knew he wasn’t feeling it but still managed to come up in the biggest moment. I’m so happy for him. The joy on his face is everything

[@Squishysforbreakfast]

They didn't go easily. They fought in every game they had. Only blowout was a 4-1 win by the Oilers, each game was a back and forth tilt.

[@TMJ32]

Have to give credit to Woodcroft. This team was a tire fire at 5 on 5 under Tippett. They weren't even going to make the playoffs. They improved dramatically on the defensive side of the puck under Woodcroft.

[@ryans413]

Edmonton’s PK been excellent this playoffs I’m amazed

[@pdubcentral]

Do you have to coach a certain amount of games to win the Jack adams? Because the depression we oiler fans were in before Woody was brought in, was daarrrrk. But he brought a whole new attitude to the team. Gave the rest of the team a job so each player could contribute. And I know you don’t seem them on the scoresheet but the rest of the team IS contributing. Especially in this series with draisiatl being hurt, the lines we played all year had to be totally altered. Woody deserves so much of the credit. As you said we didn’t even think we’d make playoffs in January. Can’t believe we’re here now. He and the Manson as well, changed their game a lot to defend in a way different way than they had been. The powerplay hasn’t even been good at all in the playoffs and they’re still moving on. That never would have happened before.

[@otaviofrn_adv]

@@pdubcentral I don't think there is a number of games by rule, but the three winners that replaced another coach during the regular season (Bill Barber in 2001, Bruce Boudreau in 2008, Ken Hitchcock in 2012) had more games than Woodcroft had. They all were signed a month into the season, so they had around 65-70 regular season games. Woody had 38 regular season games

I think it was a blown call, the goal should have counted.. however the Flames had also blown so many leads in the last 3 games and shouldn't have kept it this close. It is amazing that they gave up 5 goals on average this series.. I am not denying the brilliance of McDavid but dont see either the Avs or Blues giving up 5 goals on average every game in the WCF I believe the hockey gods even things out

Sometimes I wonder if Markstrom misses his goalie coach (Ian Clark) that turned him from a mediocre backup goalie into the starter he became. (Markstrom himself credits Clark for molding him, and helping him build his goalie toolbox as he calls it "he would help me focus on any weakness that I developed during prolonged stretches of play")

Well, call it an excuse or not, the oilers had to overcome huge adversity in the regular season and the flames season was as clean as it could be with covid shutting them down completely and not having single covid cases 1 by 1 while having to keep playing and many more things. That, i think, helped the oilers building their character.

Calgary couldn't do anything to contain Edmonton's superior pace and skill. While they slowed games down to their speed at times, this was inevitable barring a Mike Smith special...
