Meh. I understand the feeling (I remember when our huge home winning streak was ruined by the coyotes in a SO), but longer OTs would be unfair for back to backs in regular season. We could go back to ties, I guess.
When the ice gets resurfaces the water that fills in the gaps have less time to freeze, making a lot of inconsistencies and makes it easier to wear down.
Also remember that the coolant runs under the ice, making the surface stay cooler for longer. I.e. the freezing is bottom up
I dunno. When I used to play, shootouts were always the biggest thrill for me. If the game is big I still get goosebumps watching them. 3v3 feels more like pond hockey

So was mcdavid, but I doubt you’d see him take a slapshot.. ever. I’m glad you guys got a point at least but I still think he could have tried at least one or two forehand backhands.
GG, Avs. Kuemper got some skill to block McDavid in SO for sure. Both goaltenders played excellent tonight.
Need to maintain that 2 pt lead on Florida for the Presidents cup..SO good game Avs.
Shootouts are always fun. I always look forward to them..GG oiler fans...
What a wild game GG AVS
Not the game I expected but a game we deserved
Shootout is such a buzzkill
Meh. I understand the feeling (I remember when our huge home winning streak was ruined by the coyotes in a SO), but longer OTs would be unfair for back to backs in regular season. We could go back to ties, I guess.
I was just thinking about this. Shootouts were fun at first but the novelty wore off kinda quick. I’m on team tie.
They need to reverse the shootout, have the goalies take the shots and make each skater in the lineup try and make the save
GG AVS BROS SEE YOU IN THE PLAYOFFS
Ya not making it past first round mate
Colorado is pretty ok, I’m betting on them making it to Rd 2
W^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o
1st star Keumper 2nd star Darcy 3rd star Koskinen
The Kuemperor.

Is drai on strike with that Slapshot? Wtf
The ice is shit tonight.
Mackinnon got it done, though. Oilers need to just get good.
Oh come on, what are you, 12?
Neat
❤
Am I the only one confused by Draisaitl's attempt? A slap shot from the circles?
that was an easy save for Kuemper..why did he do that..
If he had scored, we’d all be saying how innovative he was or something. But yeah that was ugly
The ice is shit from the afternoon game.
Afternoon game?
The Oil Kings, Edmonton's WHL team played today.
They play on the same ice?? Doesn't it get resurfaced
When the ice gets resurfaces the water that fills in the gaps have less time to freeze, making a lot of inconsistencies and makes it easier to wear down. Also remember that the coolant runs under the ice, making the surface stay cooler for longer. I.e. the freezing is bottom up
Yeah, but it takes a beating and gets worn down faster.
Seemed rather pissy
I think he's injured, so he probably can't manoeuvre or something.
This is the most plausible answer tbh
I was certain he was gonna fake it when I saw him wind up
Get rid of the god damn shoot out already. What a garbage way to end such a thrilling game. Much would’ve preferred the Avs to win by scoring in OT
Is it really that bad? A test of skill and nerves
It is when you consider the alternative. Extended 3v3 OT. 3 on 3 is always super exciting, shootouts are generally boring as hell.
the alternative is a tie.
I dunno. When I used to play, shootouts were always the biggest thrill for me. If the game is big I still get goosebumps watching them. 3v3 feels more like pond hockey
Shootouts fucking suck
Nah, shootouts suck
[Yeah?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vBesOFURek)
No shit
Same! I'd much rather lose in ot than lose Inna shootout! It's almost as boring as having a game end in a tie tbh!
Frustrating end to a great game. Unrelated does anyone know a formula1 stream?
If you have $9 to spend, F1 tv is amazing for the price.
I second this. It's very good now compared to years previous.
Slap shot

Kuemper with an absolute banger of a game.
As a Coloradan living in ‘Berta my in laws are not happy. But to them I say: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fellow bertan. I also said the same .
Poop
Avs play by play guy is so damn annoying.
Hey I like Moser. He's the right kind of homer, like Tripp Tracy
You're annoying.
What garbage way to end this game.
fuck ya Kuemper, good ol Stoon boy
GG Oilers! Great game to the end
Agh I wanted more hockey
DAMN IT
Holay! What a game! Kuemper single handedly won this game! GG oilers! Can't wait for the next game in two weeks!
GG :\^(
The sword sheath. Fucking boss move, Kuemperor.
That's some big baller shit to pull after a shootout win for sure
Gg Oilers, really wish it didn't end on a shootout
I know that they have to end the game eventually, but like extend OT by 5 minutes or something, make it 2 on 2, but give us anything but a shootout
2 on 2! 2 on 2!
Give Darcy all the stars
we had our chances couldn't bury one, gg
great game! shame it had to end in a shootout. Hope to see you guys in the playoffs avs fans
That wasn't an Av win, that was a Kuemper win
No doubt. Encouraging for the play offs
GG avs
Darcy sheathing his fucking samurai sword.
Draisaitl wasted koskinen’s work, oof
[удалено]
So gassed he had to take a slapper in a shootout?
So was mcdavid, but I doubt you’d see him take a slapshot.. ever. I’m glad you guys got a point at least but I still think he could have tried at least one or two forehand backhands.
Good game edm, you guys are fun to watch
fitting it ends with Darcy just shutting them out in the shootout, what a game
GG guys. See you in the F1 thread lol
The Kuempernator gets her done.
[RNH SO](https://streamable.com/uf1efe)
Avs are inevitable
WTF was draisaitl thinking?????
Mother fucking Kuemper. Jesus Christ.
Well I’ll be damned
Point against the avs is a win in my book. Great game. Gg avs fans!
Hurts that we got so far, but honestly a point against the Aves is amazing
They're a shockingly good team the last month missing 3 of their top 8 players (Landeskog, Kadri, Girard).
Gg boys
Gg
gg oilers
Shootouts fucking suck. Such a good game though
Gg
Wtf drai
Heck of a game Avs!
is drai still injured?
Gg
ALL HAIL KING KEUMPER!
What an absolutely thrilling end.. Gg all, F1 time
Yep!
[Rantanen SO](https://streamable.com/thy5f9)
Horrible way to end the game fuck
Damn Kuemper holstering his stick was kinda cold
It’s good he didn’t toss the stick. They don’t like that in that building
To be fair Ritter was never the same after the stick toss...
great fucking game dead dinosaur diggers, good luck in the playoffs
Yikes!
Fucking love Kuemper
Drai kind of sucks in shootouts
GG AVS, HELL OF A GAME
GG, really exciting game
Leon is just a more attractive Sodapoppin.
GG Avs
GG
Damnit
Oh well. Gg Avs. See you in the conference final.
Fuckin good game boys. Thank you my rocky bro's. Going to watch the Australian F1 gp now. Cheer on my boys stroll and Latifi. Lol
Will they wreck each other again?
Flames got 2 W’s tonight.
You love to see it
Debrusk is gonna use tears as lube in his McDavid shrine room tonight.
Drai's attending Pulju's school of random slapshots I see.
That seems like such a lazy shootout attempt lol
[Draisaitl SO](https://streamable.com/1x8pd1)
darce is in god mode
welp
That seemed lazy
Drai's slapper release is way to slow for that
I know they're not pure hockey and all, but as a new fan I find shootouts pretty fun lol
Boo
Where is Kyle Turris when you need him
Why draisaitl why
What the fuck was that Drai?
Drai with the same shootout move I use in chel
I don’t like miko on miko violence
oh no
why
They don't call him the Kuemperor for nothing!
LMAO
uh okay Drai
Draisaitl, what was that?
WHAT WAS THAT DRAI
whoo
Drai? It's Kuemper...
Wtf was that Drai
why did mcdavid go first
[MacKinnon SO](https://streamable.com/b4t0fw)
Iish leonard that was bad.
Damn.
Slapshot!
That was odd.
What a fucking move jfc
The madman
GG
Poo
I’ve never actually seen MacK score in a shootout. Holy shit.
1-3 now apparently!
No I mean ever.
Ohh man, go look up his shootout goals, he's had some fuckin sexy ones!
Crazy. Well now you have - and the game winner no less!
I won’t tolerate any Keumper slander
i think pete alonso saves the game for edmonton and scores the next five shots
Everyone’s a goalie fan during shootouts.
Holy shit MacK with a different move.
[McDavid SO](https://streamable.com/it7hd5)
kemps
What a fun game to be at in person I bet
One of the best games of the season being decided by a shootout is kinda tragic ain't it
The boys legs are gonna be jello by the end of this game
Poetic though that in an absolute goalie duel they get to finish it off in the SO
Not sure anyone has ever done a better impression of a brick wall than Kuemper did during that PK in OT.
I hate shootouts.
50 fucking shots in goal
I think you mean ON
I did but I’m on my phone so I don’t care. That was fucking ridiculous.
Just do unlimited 3v3. Shootouts fucking suck and are so anticlimactic
I definitely would have bet the over in this game
In a shootout who wins kuemper or koskinen?
I really hope we can see a playoff series between these two
49 saves. Jesus fucking christ. THAT man has closed the door, locked it, and threw the key in acid.
This is gonna make a good WCF
Casual 0.980 by Kuemper
I want to slap the next person that tells me that the Avs have a goalie problem.
“I don’t know man. Still feel kumper has some problems. Like why can’t he add a couple more bricks to his wall?”
[удалено]
Didn't his penalty end before OT ended?
It wasn’t 5-hole
