PREDICTION TIME: OILERS VS. PANTHERS STANLEY CUP FINAL EDITION



Will the Oilers win the Stanley Cup Final to end Canada’s drought that dates back to 1993? Could this year’s final go seven games? Can Connor McDavid break Wayne Gretzky’s record for most points in a single Stanley Cup Final? TSN’s Hockey analyst Cheryl Pounder discusses.

  1. The Oilers glazing is insane. All respect to them for making it but we are talking about a very well put together team in Florida with a lot of depth, great goal tending and stellar defense. I know the oilers have a great power play and have gotten better defensively. But Florida is great on the penalty kill and there forechecking is top notch. Not to mention Skinner is nowhere near the level of bobrovsky so if the oilers let the panthers get 30+ shots on goal a game they take this series easily in 5 or 6

  2. Love to see my Oilers do it but I just can't put the money on them this year. I feel like they're the '83 Oilers who have to learn how to win first before they get to be the '84 Oilers next year.

    The good news is that after that gawd awful start, I've been betting against them all year and lost every time so it's pretty much a win-win for me at this point. Either I win or the Oilers win.

    Nevertheless, I'm saying Panthers in 5.

  3. Oilers in 6. They gave Vegas the hardest challenge last season, and Panthers havent played the Oilers since they really came in to form with the new Coach's structure (that lead to the 16 game win streak etc).

  4. Wouldnā€™t bet against mcdavid and Drai. They said Dallas would kill the oil. Toronto sports Network havenā€™t seen the west play

  5. Barkov canā€™t stop 97 & 29 at the same time. 2 lines plus powerplay? Thatā€™s 45 minutes a game. Good luck.

  6. What a series this is gonna beā€¦. Florida granted have been great this playoffs but they havenā€™t faced a team like Edmonton spearheaded by McDavid and Drais. Not to mention the rest of the Edmonton crew. Oilers in 6!

  7. Why does it feel like people actually think Barkov is better than McDavid… It's ridiculous, McDavid is the best player in the world, he will find a way past Barkov

  8. Mcdavid has had to deal with Kopitar the last 3 years in the playoffs, Barkov is good but come on the media needs to stop gassing him up, it's Mcdavid, he walks through the best D in the league on a daily basis, and if Barkov does manage to slow Mcdavid down that just leaves more room for Draisitl who will terminate them. Oilers in 6

  9. I can't wait to see the comments from edmonton fans when they realize the panthers are a wagon. I bet none of you had seen 1panther game

  10. Fanfy b I t ch learn to talk first…. Panthers haven't played a team like the Oilers in the playoffs yet. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Yet tsn gets dumb b I t ch e s to come and predict the cup final ahaha.

  11. /McDavey and Crysaitle will never win a cup for that organization. Skinner is a halfer compared to Bobrovsky. Goaltending, defense, a strong forcheck and especially EXPERIENCE! The Panthers win the cup….

  12. Who is this barkov guy? Holy. Everyone is talking about how Mcdavid deal with barkov? Jee there is no Mcdavid in the east conference for crying out loud. Kopitar, miller, Benn, tanev to names a few. One barkov Jee relax..

  13. Canadaā€™s cup drought is such a joke. A Canadian team hasnā€™t won the cup, but every team that win the cup has 75% is Canadian players.
