WHERE HAS IT ALL GONE WRONG FOR THE OILERS AND CAN THEY FIX IT?
TSN Hockey analyst Cheryl Pounder weighs in on the Edmonton Oilers’ performance in this Stanley Cup Final again the Florida Panthers, what has worked and what hasn’t.
Nothing has gone "horribly wrong", they're just up against a far better team. I'm an Oilers fan and I thought the Vancouver series would be a toss-up at best and I figured Dallas to beat them for sure. The fact they're even in the final is gravy.
No all the wrong here is Maurice is out coaching knobby. Plus Fla Ds play almost perfect every game. No mistakes whatsoever or turns over. Not to mention goalie out play Oilers goalie. They figured out how Oilers play in all areas.
I wish media outlets would stop talking about "OMG what went wrong with the Oilers?" and instead acknowledge that the Panthers are the much better team in this series. They have shown more depth and i will go back to a comment that Gretzky said on TNT back in the second round " to win a Stanley Cup you have to have depth. You cannot just win with a super star. Every detail and play matters" That is what we have all been watching through 3 games. Oilers are slow to the puck. They do not fight for it. If you watch the Panthers there is always people coming to fight for the puck. It is elementary my Dear Dr Watson" The Oilers are simple beat by a better team"
Panthers learned from losing the cup four straight last year, build a team that plays without offence, just play dirty, clutch and grab, let the other team make turnovers and giveaways, then capitalize on them, hence why the offensive oilers are doomed.
Good God guys, it's not about McDavid n draistal being injured, it's not about the refs (😂) it's about oilers simply not good enough, offence, defence and especially goaltending. This is coming from an oilers fan..
Edmonton has lied to itself. Florida isn't just a physical well coached team. Florida has speed, they have skill. It's just not as pronounced because they don't have to just play one style.
Florida is a really good team. Edmonton might have been a really good team, but at the allstar break they decided they were more interested in trying to win McDavid the Art Ross than they were in continuing to build their team defensive structure, threw it all away, and went to playing offence first outscore your mistakes hockey again. Team defence isn't something you can turn on and off. You have to commit to it all the time, like Florida have, or you end up a loser.
You guys in the east talk shitye and think Edmonton is better than they are. All 4 teams in the Atlantic are better than Edmonton(including Toronto) Carolina and NYR are better. Dallas, Colorado, LV, and Vancouver (with Demko in the net)are better. stop Leon and Mc cry baby and you win. oh yea Floridas goalie is stealing games unlike Skinner
Just wondering where this “lethal “ power play is?? All the commentators couldn’t stop going on and on about that… hilarious that Florida has shut them down
Holland IS THE PROBLEM ! $9.25 for an DEADHEAD ( Darnell Nurse ) and 2 Goalies who can't stop a Beach Ball !!!! WAKE UP Holland .IT IS TIME TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH THE FAMILY !!!!! McDavid must be THINKING ……….. !

Are the Oilers done for, or will they win Game 4 against the Panthers? 🤔
Florida is the best team!
Oilers are in their own heads. You can sense it.
Oiler fans found out what Leaf fans knew already.
Barkov is outsmarting McDavid. Barkov's hockey IQ is in top gear, he doesn't make any mistakes.
I like her. She’s spitting facts
hey lady what do you know? i
blah blah blah how 'bout they just suck
U know there’s a whole ass other team right?
Oilers will be in good shape if about 20 panthers get blood clot problems
Honestly Oilers were counted out back in the regular season and bounced back. They are used to this.
Oilers have Panthers right where they want them.
Edmonton in 7
It's because they're the Oilers. They won too many Cups already.
Too many players need to be benched and there aren't enough replacements or room on the bench. Its done done done.

You gotta scratch Nurse. He’s a liability. He has no business in the playoffs.
You can't win without an all star goalie.
Like u , I have listened and watched for decades….and my mindset is fixed…
…this " just win one game mentally is the problem…it's why it's never worked…
You must have a rigid champions mentality….you must look, see, and mindset far into future….like a true champion…
At 0 and 3 you look in the camera and confidently declare, we are going to win it all…
You will strike fear into your opponent….then go play like champions…no, is NOT AN OPTION…!!!

Let’s go Oilers! In 7
somone hire her as the assistant coach for the oilers for 2025
Please? Stop talking to Cheryl Pounder. She said Oilers were going to win the Stanley Cup.
Their goalie is much better.
I love her "Mommy" necklace..

It hasn’t gone wrong, there is one player who dominates and defines the play of Panthers and it’s Barkov and Bobrowsky who shuts the goal.
1. All gone wrong
2. Stanley Cup Final
pick one
Cheryl knows her stuff…great insight
Holland IS THE PROBLEM ! $9.25 for an DEADHEAD ( Darnell Nurse ) and 2 Goalies who can't stop a Beach Ball !!!! WAKE UP
Holland .IT IS TIME TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH THE FAMILY !!!!! McDavid must be THINKING ……….. !
