Bobcat’s Post Game Notes, Game 48
Jackets win, 3-2 in overtime over the Edmonton Oilers.
-I’m scared. Perhaps it’s a good thing I’m not able to watch (the game’s on TNT and I don’t have cable).
-Out goes Bemmer, in comes Foudy. I’ve been calling for them to send Bemstrom back down (or rather, back up, if we’re talking geographically) to Cleveland to bust *ss again. Perhaps that’s what they’re doing.
-Blanks is playing left side tonight alongside Boqvist on the third pairing. Interesting…
-AYE AYE, CAPTAIN! Boone Jenner scores from The Spot(tm) to put us up 1-0! I would have thought we’d give up one before they did. It’s one of those surprises that you love to see.
-It appears that was the only thing of note that happened during the first period. No penalties, no injury timeouts, just 20 SOGs and a goal.
-Our first penalty, about 2 minutes in: Darnell Nurse hooks Marchy. Let’s see if we do something with this.
-…We do not. 2 shots on goal, but no score. Oof.
-After this, I went to bed. Being in the central time zone, and also in school, I can’t stay up to watch all of the west-coast games. The rest of this will be a recap of the highlights.
-10 minutes into the second, "THE DOCTAH" Derek Ryan catches Andy and Gavi overcommitting to the wings and blows a wrister right by Korpi in the slot. Tie game. That's not good.
-Not long after that, Johnny Gaudreau cross-checks Connor McDavid, and McDavid turns around and sets up a Zach Hyman PPG. 2-1 Oilers. This is the result i was expecting.
-Into the third: Patrik Laine gets a turnover, but dinks the post. I think he legit put a dent in the metal. That was one hell of a shot.
-Kirill Marchenko scores his 11th goal without an assist. The record is 16 (said record has stood since the 1926-27 season). I believe he's on pace to break it.
-Korpi absolutely ROBBED Ryan Nugent-Hopkins with a minute left on the clock, and that seemed to be the last good chance they got. We're off to overtime.
-Kent Johnson capitalizes on a great screen from... (checks notes) ...Darnell Nurse, and blows the puck by Stuart Skinner to send us home!
-...We won. I really should be happy about this, but all i can ask is "How?" The Edmonton Oilers are bonafide Cup contenders, how did we beat them?
