We can be mad and frustrated all we want but deep down we’re still all Panthers fans and want to see the boys wheel Stanley home. We’re still on a great position and was great to see a fire lit under us. Just have some faith and believe. Go Panthers!

I feel like everyone is forgetting we only need to win 1 of the next 2! Edmonton literally can’t slip up. Again, this team is definitely talented enough to win it, sure they didn’t win it tonight, but we still have to believe in these guys!
Just have to wonder what’s going in inside their heads. This is very strong drop off. I hope they can wake up and play like they did in 3rd period
Living up to their name. The Cardiac Cats
Losing at home like this was really depressing, Panthers will take this loss harder than any other game they’ve played this season. I believe in the boys.
We are a victim of our own success.
The hyperventilating is mostly because we got up 3-0 on them. They are not as bad as the 0-3 start suggested.
We all know this and yet we hyperventilate when they win 2 games. I blame the pathetic announcers for this effect.
We are the better team and I do believe over a 7 game series that will bear out.
Vamos Gatos Bitches
I think it’s a combo of things.
The Oilers are a good team.
The cats went up 3-0 and everyone was saying the oilers were done. They probably let themselves believe it was already a done deal and were already thinking it was in the bag. Maybe some nerves too, especially for Bob, with all the talk of how he’s playing at an unreal level.
But they played great today for the most part. If they bring that back for the whole game, and stop taking shit penalties and giving up shorties, and don’t take their foot off the gas, they will win. Theres more pressure on them now but I don’t think that really affects them badly. They have a hard time closing. But now they can’t keep fn around.
Friday is gonna be an ass clencher of a game and I just hope they go out and play the best game of their lives.
We’ll be the first team since the 40’s to be reverse swept. It only makes perfect sense for this dumpster fire that is south Florida sports.
If they can play a whole game like the last half of game 5, they’ve got this.
We got this not worried. Didn’t feel like the right time for me any way
They could afford to lose game 4 but they couldn’t afford to lose it like that. I bet sports in Las Vegas for 24 years. In that environment you become extremely familiar with psychological tendencies, which are far more relevant than matchups or personnel. After the 8-1 game I thought it almost guaranteed an Edmonton carryover and victory in game 5.
Now it’s a dogfight. The Panthers should be able to regroup and play well in game 6. The key is not to blow a game you deserve to win. If that happens then game 7 likely won’t go well.
Advantage Panthers but I still can’t believe they were stupid enough to allow an 8-1 tidal shift.
2% for Edmonton to win.. Not happening.. Even we lose game 6.. There is a game 7..1 win from the 2.. No problem!
We’re in the same position the rangers were in vs the canes earlier in the playoffs and we saw how that played out. Edmonton’s a great team with talented players but the odds of them winning 4 in a row is pretty unlikely. We’re in an advantageous position just need everyone to show up for one more game and we can have the cup. It’s easy to worry now but I got faith in the team. Go Cats
Listen guys, i am sorry but i feel like i had been a bad omen for the Panthers. The Oilers started winning the moment i was on vacation in Canada.
But here is the good News, gonna leave Canada today, so Game 6 win for the Panthers should be good to go!
Not saying I don’t still believe. But God damn I have such trauma from the past years of had not to panic
An odd coincidence is we did win 6 games in the 2nd round and in the ECF
All the momentum is on Edmonton now. These cats don’t want to win anymore. They got too comfortable when up 3-0. They need to get back to reality
