NHL Game 2 Highlights | Oilers vs. Avalanche - Jun 02, 2022

Pavel Francouz made 24 saves, and Nazem Kadri had three assists as the Colorado Avalanche blanked the Edmonton Oilers 4-0, and take a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Final.

[@isaacklostermann3936]

Francouz said in the post game the other night "When I'm on the bench I stay in the game by opening the door for the guys in the ice". Then gets a so against the strongest offense in the playoffs. Love that he is humble and totally deserves this...well done!!

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

If the AVs can keep up this kind of Defense and not let teams come back on them then the skies the limit.

[@DXAdamJensen]

Joe Sakic knew how valuable Pavel Francouz was to the organization. He wasted no time signing him to a contract extension. Frankie has always stepped up when his number is called. He has been absolute clutch this season and continues to prove doubters wrong. After tonight’s game, I am starting to believe that I was being nice when I said Avs in 5. Josh Manson came back with an excellent performance on both ends of the ice. He was very aggressive offensively as he led the Avs D-corps in shots with 4. I am sure he will humble brag to his dad in their next family meeting. It was pretty funny to see the camera pointing at Dave Manson when he scored. Kadri continues to keep rolling as he registered 3 assists. Mackiinnon put the nail in the coffin with his patented one timer PP shot. Bednar knew exactly what he had to do to neutralize Oilers’ offense. He forced his team to push the Oilers away to the side when they entered the offensive zone. The puck never reached the open center of the ice. All opportunities from the Oilers were from the side. In game 1, 5 out of their 6 goals were from the center of the offensive zone. Oilers were really dirty tonight. Yamamoto, Kane, Keith, Kulak and Draisaitl were all trying to injure Mackinnon, Toews, Makar and Kadri. It was truly disgusting. Keith is such a coward to trip Mackinnon after the whistle. Draisaitl is a closet dirty player who loves to high stick. Intimidation doesn’t work on the Avs anymore. It worked last year in the playoffs, but they came back stronger and tougher this year. Unlike the last game, it blows my mind that more penalties were not called against the Oilers. That penalty against Byram was BS. Intentionally ripping off his helmet to get him out of the play is so bush league. I guess Oilers have to cheat in order to win since they lack the skill and will. The Avs fanbase may have gripes over Sam Girard for his inconsistent play (myself included). I’ll say this though. I will take him 10 out of 10 times if I had to choose between him and Darnell Nurse. Nurse is an overpaid sorry excuse of a defenseman who lacks discipline. He singlehandedly gift wrap the Avs the victory with 3 awful plays. I can see why people like to rip him after watching tonight’s game. He is a selfish punk. Same goes with Kane, but we already knew that. The amount of bias from the media is astounding. During the whole night, the TNT crew were talking more about the Oilers than the Avalanche. Throughout the game, they kept talking on what the Oilers should do to win. With the exception of pre-game and post-game interviews of the legendary Adam Foote and Frankie, they barely said a word about the Avs during the intermissions. Last time I checked, TNT was an American station. If I wanted to see a media that is homering for the Oilers, I would have turned on Sportsnet. It is baffling how the media from both countries are cheering for the Oilers. Yes, Gretzky is a former Oiler but he needs to be professional. He barely complemented the Avs tonight. I don’t appreciate how the media is portraying the Avs as public enemy #1 when they didn’t do anything wrong. They are not the ones who is playing the game dirty because they have their eyes on the prize at all times. I’ll close with this little statistic. Nathan Mackinnon shot more than McDavid, Draisaitl and Kane combined. Let that sink in, Oilers fans.

[@youman62]

I wonder how much of the Oilers bias is cause they have Gretzky sitting right there? He might be influencing his mates in the booth

[@soulknife20]

Avs have their own goons in Helm and Manson. Heck Landeskog is kind of a good too. If the Avs really wanted to put the hurt on someone, they call Big MacDermitt to lay the smackdown on some people.

[@DXAdamJensen]

@@soulknife20 You can call them goons, but they are far more disciplined than the Oilers whole roster. If this wasn't the playoffs, I would definitely call up MacDermid so he can go at it with Kane, Keith, Draisaitl , Kassian and Yamamoto

[@nalgene247]

I agree with a lot of that, but I disagree that they were headhunting. Sure the Oil played chippy and dirty, but it was a far cry from trying to injure anyone. A late trip on MacKinnon? Penalty yes, attempt to injure, nah. Those high sticks by Drai were stupid but relatively weak. The only really egregious hit was when Kane rode Manson into the boards, and obviously when whoever it was grabbed Byram by the helmet. Even the announcers were like "What else is Byram supposed to do?". And yes, Darnell Nurse is an overpaid goon. Cross-checking ChooChoo with 1 minute left in a 0-4 game is exactly what I expect from that loser. Too bad for him the Avs had too much composure to stoop to his level.

[@andysmith719]

The way Wayne was talking about how the oilers are going to win the next 2 after the game was the tipping point for me. Last series we had to listen to the BLUES CREW the entire series and now again with the greatest oiler of all time offering commentary. No wonder I'm always a nervous wreck before each game all I hear about is how great the opponent is non stop. Maybe they should let McNabb call a game lmfao

[@petrpumpkineater]

EJ has said in the past: its a bigger advantage at the start of the season. As the teams travel back and forth across the country, the advantage lessens.

SMITH is costing the Team. YES! He makes BG SAVES and Plays. BUT. he also lets in BAD Goals and Softies. At least 2 of the 4, I would say 3, imo, were GOALS that Smith should have STOPPED. It's time to put in Koskinen and Roll the Dice. Can't be any worse than Smith in the First Two Games, and you can always put Smith back in, which might just be the Mental Push Boost that is needed to help get your Goalie to the Next Level for Playoffs, while at the same time, Koskinen might just be the ticket, back ups have been known to take over and shine for teams helping them push through.
