Smooth tasting and a good bang for your buck.

It’s real good and cheap. Problem is you may have a hard time finding it for that reason.

To be fair we haven’t really challenged him all that much but he has let in some pretty bad goals this series.

If they could have put any sustained pressure on him at all this series would be over. IMHO he looked eminently beatable.

I agree. Between the Canes defense, which is incredible, and our offensive ineptitude he didn’t see too much rubber. Wouldn’t have taken much for this series to have tilted towards us.
BINGO!

Yeah he's been alright but not great. Andersen's been bad all year so not sure he's much of a better option.

We seemed to have issues with Andersen over the years if I’m remembering correctly. I assume that and Raanta letting in a couple of questionable goals may make Brind’Amour decide to start him. Kind of a ballsy move just because he has been sitting for a while imo.

Yeah I’d be fine with the known that is Raanta. What I know is he’s not that great.

Sipping on some Heaven Hill Kentucky Straight and having a nice cigar as I type. Delicious. It’s 60 and sunny up here.

I think he once told us he lived several hundred miles north of Edmonton, which is why he doesn't get to too many Oilers games. I swear I once saw him on TV when the Isles were in town. I had the Oiler feed. He was wearing an Isles jersey......#27 of course.

Holy smokes. You really do live in an igloo 😂😂
Edit: how the hell did you, and why would you, become an Isles fan!? You’re too young, I believe, to have enjoyed the glory days, and there was so much misery after those years.

I started out an Oilers fan because, well… everyone else up here is an Oilers fan.

I started to follow the Isles seriously when the Hamonic for Hall rumours started. I was already a huge fan of Lee, and my favourite Oiler was Eberle. So things just kinda… happened. Eventually said (frank) it, donated $20 to the “Snow Must Go” billboard and swapped allegiance. Figured that’d be my entry fee to the Islander fan club. 😂

Also doesn’t hurt that my Dad LOATHES the Rangers.
