The Oilers managed to hold off and survive a two period onslaught of shots from the big boots from Texas and are now through to the Stanley Cup Finals to face the Panthers. That and more in today’s NHL hockey video!
1983 Islanders taught Oilers what was needed to win a cup. Semenko scored more goals than Gretzky that series. Billy Smith was prime and won the Conn Smyth trophy for it. As much as I am rooting for Edmonton, this feels like Panthers' year.
the leafs sure could use a playoff goal scorer like hymen. i see florida riding the referees all the way to a florida cup… let me see – 10-1 that florida will be on the power play within the first 3 minutes of the first game …. and every game after. refs have pushed florida in wins over the canes boston and now new york… soon to be the oil. can the oil unretire kassian just to rag doll turtlechuck like it needs and deserves. i also predict skinner ran over 3 times in the series with not one call
I feel like I'm the only one who knew that the oilers would somewhow reach the playoffs even when they were doing horrible in the early season. I've been watching the oilers for nearly two decades, and there were so many times where they start off strong in the early season and then end up near the bottom in the late season. But since in this season the oilers had a horrible start, I somehow kept thinking that they might actually have a strong finish, and now here they are in finals.
As a Flyers fan… as much as I wanted Stars and Rangers in the final… I must admit, this is gonna be a special final. Either McDavid finally gets his cup, or Bobrovsky gets his… Impossible to pick a side. McDavid deserves it fully, but Bobrovsky has also had an amazing career and amazing playoff year this year, as well as having his time on the Flyers… really hard to pick for this one. I'm hoping for a game 7 overtime!
As much as I want Edmonton to win, based on how I've seen the NHL "work" shit out in the past, I don't see the cup crossing the border this year. In the NHLs mind, it's almost a certainty that they believe, beyond any doubt, that the US is STILL the "best" market for them to be in. While my opinion is a "bit" one-sided being a Canadian, I feel like Betman will never see Canada as a "worthy" market to peddle his league in any more. Almost anticipating ANOTHER southern US expansion franchise to "pop up" during the off season.

The Oilers need to play much better than they did in game 6 or they will be swept. They need to get the players back that played game 5 for them.

I was in the Moss Pit right in the Ice District last night. I lost my mind cheering and screaming and almost passed out lol
As a Flames I will now be cheering for the Oilers because Oilers are the only Canadian team left and I hate Tkachuk
Let's get a cup for a Canadian team PLEASE!!!

It's so funny how both Finals teams refused to touch their conference trophies. Sports superstitions crack me up.
Kings? Dethroned.
Canucks? Beached.
Stars? Fallen.
SCF Ticket? Punched.
La Bamba? Fuckin play it baby.
Can’t believe this garbage team with 3 players beat the stars
I'd rather Dallas win the nba finals, Mavs in 6. Go Oilers too
u thought knob was a mistake?😭 i thought that was a W since he knew how McDavid operates
I think Edmonton's going to take this series, but its going to be physical and hard-fought all game every game.

Shaq Hyman with the snipe, what a gem

So far😊
I thought Dallas played way better. But that first goal was just unbelievable. Let’s hope they take cup home.
Rangers not in the finals while “McGoon” is in the finals is just poetic.
Panthers are gonna smoke Oilers, even 4-0 would not suprise me.
I wanted rangers vs stars, so this final is meh. Fully supporting the Oilers to take it. Fuck upchuck and f the panthers. Dirty ass group.
Average Laffy goal
Flames fans rn: “What, the actual fuck.”
It's not only between two teams… It's also between two countries… C'mon America!! Let's free the shit out of Canada!!
The biggest goal of McDavid’s life so far
I think the Oilers are going to win but this cup may go to 7 games!
