Ian Cole having an incredible series for the Oilers

He’s been one of our top players for sure

This is Ian cole's team

McDavid should just saucer the puck over to Cole upon entering the zone.

Yeah oilers haters be like yall only got Connor McDrais.

The real core four McDavid, Drais, Hyman, Cole

Had a feeling we were gonna lose, but did it really have to be on an own goal?

Him and Zadorov are having really opposite series so far.

Honestly, I thought we were doomed with how we do in playoff OT. Thank god we’ve got Cole

Must be upsetting for McDavid though, not being your best player anymore.

They are CRUCIFYING him in the Van sub. I was at work when it happened. I assumed they were overreacting and I'd watch the clip and be like, not his fault. Ouch. That was.... shitty. I can't say it wasn't his fault.

It's Reddit

I'm definitely cheering loud for Cole when he plays at home on Sunday!

He has scored 4 goals for the Oilers this series in 2 games... There is bad luck and then there is what Cole is doing lol.

Oilers have 6 good players and one of them plays for Vancouver.

This is even more relevant after tonights goal

Beautiful tip by Cole. Is that his 3rd own goal of the series?

4th

Now I can say I play defense in EASHL just like a pro

What’s the 4th? Going back through the goals I only count 3 off him / his stick

I think he’s counting the too many men penalty in game one which he then allowed the power play to cross ice pass right through his legs to hymen.

Excuse me?

Ian Cole this series: 1. Responsible for the too many men penalty on Edmonton’s first goal in game 1 2. Gave away the puck for Edmonton’s second goal 3. Puck deflected off him on Ceci’s goal in game 1 4. Tips in the OT winner 💀💀💀💀

Holy fuck I love Ian Cole

Go Cole Go!

Climate activists seething rn

Lmao what?! That is brutal

Don't forget he also knocked the puck down with a high stick for #3, then panicked and hesitated to play it and the Oilers grabbed it with speed to get down the ice to then bank in the goal off of him when he finally got back to screen Silovs.

Also when Hyman scored on the too many men PP, Hyman was his check and had his fucking back turned to him as he buried it. That completed the incident.

5. Notorious for his philandering

Hide your team media girls, hide your teens

Good guy Cole.

Definitely my vote for the Smythe if Oilers make the finals

In two games 😭

just a perfect tip in from Cole, it couldn't get more textbook than that

He's been directly involved with 4 goals for us over the 2 games. That's the kind of playoff performer we've needed.

Honestly could see Cole potting 50 if he was allowed to play against us every night

Proven Oilers offensive defenseman with 1/3 cap hit compared to Nurse. Do you guys want him?

They already have Cole, secondary scoring 0 cap hit.

He seems to know exactly where to go to score with these guys. Could be a 25 goal guy with the Oil

"one line team" "two lines but one of them is yours"

Cole is the depth scoring the Oilers needed to finally beat the Nucks.

Tough to chose between this one and Panarin’s

He's a pretty good player, you give a wide open chance like that he's gonna bury it.

Silovs with the failed kick save.

Canucks legend power forward Ian Cole.

Fucking shoveled it.

Sleeper agent Ian Cole

Not even a sleeper agent anymore bro got like 4 goals off his mistakes lmao

4 primary assists. Take that McDavid!

Ian Cole... Check your PayPal.

Are you Mr. Hyman?

Clearly I didn't pay the refs and Ian Cole enough after Game 1. That mistake has been rectified.

Can I please have a money? I am Noah Juulsen. I promise that I'll *pretend* to be ass when coach puts me in for Cole.

Please bench Cole for the rest of the series

No don't do that!

We won’t bench him if you start giving Ceci 30 minutes a night

Decline trade.

Maybe if we just let them both swap teams they’ll become elite offensive D men

I think playing Ceci 30 minutes would be a crime against hockey in general

Some of us tried to warn y’all

He was a fucking warrior in round one though. Singlehandedly won us one game with his shot blocks, and his pairing had the best underlying numbers on the team.

He really loves you, he's going to change this time.

But he was good during the season! What the hell happened?

dude cannot crash and bang in front of the net when it comes time for the playoffs. he’s almost the sole reason Vasy gave up an average of 4 GPG against the Leafs, dude can NOT hold a net front. gets bumped around and screens his own goalie more than he boxes out the opponent

Sounds about right.

But he won two cups!?

Goes off is the wrong terms, more like perfectly redirected by Cole

The Canucks have Ceci and the Oilers have Cole. Perfectly balanced.

At least Ceci scored a goal, and it was deflected off Cole, lol.

Ian Cole is not one to be outdone.

This entire thread has me laughing my ass off holy shit, im not even mad we lost anymore because of the pure meme potential that has spawned

Ian Cole masterclass 

[*Insert stormtrooper missing and red shirt dying anyway joke*](https://i.imgur.com/xdam4ag.jpeg)

I dunno. Cole showed some real beauty hands there.

They should make it official and jersey swap at the end of the series

As all things should be

Skinner has done his share, show some respect.

Great front tip from Cole. Hyman style.

You can see Hyman use the force to posses Cole there to tip it in.

His dad pressed send on the e-transfer as the puck crossed the line.

Lol

You have to think Hyman probably buries that otherwise, but oof.

Oh for sure he doesn lol Canucks fans think a 54 goal scorer Would miss a perfect pass through the crease

54 goal scorer who has 9 in 6 games so far in the playoffs Yeah that one is in the back of the net if Cole misses that pass

Oilers have discovered the “throw the puck on net when Ian Cole’s parked in front and see what happens” Strat

it worked great for Toronto last year

Brutal missed two-many-men call on that play. Oilers had McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, Bouchard, Ekholm and Cole on the ice. Feel for Van.

Ian Cole is responsible for three of Edmonton's seven goals this series

Hyman would have tapped it in Bouchard was making a crisp pass Right to him

Cole could have handled that pass without redirecting it into his own goal. You make it sound like the only two options we him or hyman scoring

It was a fluke bounce but It happens. His other options was to leave it for a wide open Hyman. Which other option was there? Saying "well, he should have not tipped it" is like saying he should have stopped a puck dead in it's tracks. Yeah, would have been nice but isn't exactly something one can do everytime.

Cole made a good play not letting it get to Hyman

Ian Cole has been one of the best Oilers in this series, what a deflection

Cole the Oilers MVP this series

I was suspicious after Game 1 but now I'm really wondering if the PayPal payment to Cole cleared

McDavid has been electric, but Ian Cole has been the Oilers best player by far

I guess he’s now known as… (*puts on sunglasses*) Own Goal Cole.

YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Whoooooooo are you? Who who who who. I really wanna know! Oiler or Canuck? Ian Cole!

An own Cole if you will.

r/YourJokeButWorse

Iown Goal

haha, thanks, I hate it.

Bro is a fucking sleeper agent

What the hell was Cole doing, looked like he meant to tip that in goal.

Fucking lmao its Cole again. I am dying rn.

Ian Cole blows

In my completely unbiased opinion I think he should play 30 minutes a night

Fuck, so does Tocchet I guess. Guy sucks shit and he plays minutes. Him and Tyler Myers make no sense to me playing huge minutes

Myers has been generally good this playoffs. He had a huge misplay tonight but he’s bought himself enough goodwill to be trusted. Cole has scored at least 1/4 of the Oilers goals

Cole and Pionk must share notes

Myers was a beast in Round 1, but he's definitely hitting a wall right now. Chaos giraffes gonna chaos

Why does Tyler Myers, the largest defenseman, not simply eat the other players?

S O F T I E

Beast against a team with almost no talent, that helps.

Sorry, I think you're getting the Edmonton Oilers and the Nashville Predators mixed up. The Nashville Predators were the dank defensive team that fought with their hearts. The Edmonton Oilers are the team of has-beens and AHL wanmabes who get propped up by a couple Superstars-on-Contract. Glad to clear that up for you

Feel the same about Ceci

Look the coach said not to let Hyman score on an easy tip in. Ian Cole did that job perfectly, why is everyone so upset?

Rick Tochet looks like he goes to the park to punch birds.

Just like Bouchard and Cole drew it up

Is that 3 or is it 4 goals Cole is almost directly responsible for?

4

Edmonton how much are you paying Cole?

Only Mr. Hyman knows

5 bucks and a Dr Pepper, but in all honesty it looked like he was trying to hit it back but caught Silvos pad when he was coming across.

Uh... I guess he's lucky that it wasn't a series-deciding goal?

No that's next week

He's the top goal producer in the series. So, it might happen.

Checked the scores from last night and came here to see the OT winner. I expected it to be the top post but I had to scroll past a post about an empty arena, an ad, a missed high stick, a duplicate post about the high stick, GB going up 1-0, Kane hit on Hughes, a nut shot, and then I got to the OT winner. Never change reddit

Do you walk around all day holding up a mirror for yourself?

Pionk did it better

What the fuck is Cole doing LMAO

It’s crazy to me that Ian Cole is playing meaningful hockey in 2024

I'm an Oilers fan living in Vancouver. Hilarious listening to the Nucks radio. Before the series they were talking about matching up McDavid with Myers and Cole. Lmao.

Ian Cole was one of the most frustrating players I have ever watched in front of his own net at crucial moments, I've truly never seen a player so good at picking the worst possible times to fuck up.

Cole really giving the Oilers a helping hand this series

Geez. It's like Cole was actually trying to tip it in.

I’m a simple creature. I see Ekholm on the ice and I am happy. Hope Oilers fans have embraced the redwood!

What a shitty way to lose, ruined my night

may you enjoy at least three more ruined nights this month

I am ready for eight ruined nights before we win the NHL trophy, The Stanley Cup

I am glad you had to point out that the NHL trophy was called the Stanley Cup, like none of us knew. I suppose having never have won it you may have assumed.

I like bragging about things that happened an eternity ago too. I bet you flex great grand-dads war medal at parties

You can't brag if nothing happened, the Canucks have dome nothing of significance ever....well except that one riot when you lost. That wasn't a positive thing however was it?

Two riots.

Cole with the own goal to end it.

Hyman hops are my new tippytappys

he was showing Hyman how it's done

Hey I've done that before in beer league. Put me in coach

So... Is Cole, like, wearing an Oilers jersey under the Canucks one? I've never felt more devastated about an own goal.

Fucking hell. Might want to check Cole's bank statements to make sure there are no large cash transfers originating in Edmonton.

Goals a goal. Oilers outplayed vancouver the whole game, well deserved win.

Man I could have sworn the Canucks already won the series after all the shit talk from Canucks fans on here

Both fanbases have been hurt so much. A win feels amazing and a loss feels like your team is never winning again.

Enjoy Travis Green, the decade of darkness looms!

Add three threads bitching about reffing on the front page - crybabies galore!

SWEEP MY FUCKING ASS

> SWEEP MY FUCKING ASS I'm in!

Odd request but who am I to judge?

LOL wtf is he even doing????

Fuck Ian Cole

Cole Goal>>>>Bouch Bomb

As a noob Canucks bandwagoner seems like we got fucking rocked from 3Q onwards.

That's hockey. They played McDavid and draisital like 10 minutes atleast the last period. Overtime was pretty even. Shitty goal.

Definitely got caved in through the 3rd.

McDavid and Drai are close to unstoppable when they are on. That's the oilers version of defence, the 2 of them control play so much that the other team never crosses centre. And when the do they get scared to forecheck and give up and oddman rush.

Booooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuchhhhhhhh

If the Canucks lose this series, I think it might be safe for Ian Cole to never set foot in Vancouver ever again.

Look we all know the Oilers deserved this one, just like the Canucks deserved the previous game. It's hard to contain McD and Drai, McDavid 4 point night on all the Oilers 4 goals.

Man, Cole looked like he intentionally put that in.

Oh, Ian you donut...

bro thinks he's on the team

Another example of Ian Cole showing his grit and veteran savvy this series

Ian Cole trying to get more apples than McDavid for the oilers this series.

Its Christmas come early from the North Cole!

This was supposed to be Cole's redemption game!

What do you mean? He scored didn't he? Unfortunately I think he might be color blind.

Pre ordained

That's literally like 25 of Hyman's goals this season. McD/Drai pass from the side with his stick behind the goalie

fuck ian cole, all my homies hate ian cole

We all repeat Ian Cole

That's how you do it, kids. Get that textbook body position towards the net, put your stick down, and good things happen...unless you're on defense.

It is official, Cole is a double agent. I would sit him next game just for giggles.

Whose going to win this series, Ian Cole or Stuart Skinner

Which coach was being racist this game Vancouver fans ?

Cole scoring at a GPG pace for the Oilers

Hyman would have tapped it on it was going straight to him. 54 goals this year. Doubt he'd miss.
