Oilers are going to complete the reverse sweep!
Panthers in 7. It was always a death sentence for the oilers in 7. YALL ARE DONE FOR
People leave early for 2 reasons; First, if you wait, you wont get your car out for 1-2 hours lol. Second, party outside is ELECTRIC !
As a Devils fan, this has been one hell of a series. On one hand, I would like to see Florida Panthers win their first cup…but on the other hand, I would like to see history, and former NJ Devil, Adam Henrique win a cup. Crazy series, and may the best team win.
Drag that cup back to Alberta Oilers!
I need Florida to win. Oiler fans are about to be insufferable. (Even if it is justified lmao)
Great series as a neutral fan though
A win in game six without McDavid and Draisitil scoring. Look out Florida.
Florida please win the cup
For Florida to win. A miracle needs to happen. Lost most of the board battles. Vaerhaghe playd his worst game probably ever. Everytime he touched the puck he coughed it up. Lots of players were so slow tonight and only one who made shit happen was Barkov. If the Panthers win game 7 its because of him.
Mcdavid is going to literally magic hands dangle and score a game winning goal on monday and lift his well earned Stanley cup. š proud to be born in Edmonton. Those that arent true Canadians wont understand how much hockey means to us its way more than just a game.
I have come to realize that every profession league of all major sports leagues must have one team to be…"The lovable Losers!" MLB had the Cubs and Red Sox, the NFL have the Browns and Chargers and so on. Perhaps the NHL will have the Florida Panthers? If the Panthers lose game 7 at home, they'll definitely be just that, "Chokers that can't win when it matters!"
Florida is absolutely winning game 7ā¦.they will lift the cup! I picked Edmonton simply as soon as I saw the time off between games āfor travelā Edmonton needs legs and the schedule provides just that!
One of your strengths is the way you ad lib your analyses. But holy cow, all that text on the white board is scary!
I would like to see the Panthers win in seven but since Tkachuk is such a Jerk, I hope the Oilers win.
Hyman reminds of that good C reciever who has a great QB and the ball is there everytime. Easy to catch because without McDavid and Drai where are those easy layups going to come from? he will struggle on his next team
We are witnessing something historical here
Nice breakdown!!
It was Ceci and Kulak that turned the puck over and both lay down for Barkov. What do u have against nurse ? Constant policing of nurse everywhere
Been a Florida fan since they came into the league. This has been a true spiral a real letdown. Hoping against hope.but can't against the hot team
Something is Oily I mean fishy. There is a reason it hasnāt happened since 1942. These have not been close games for the most part. Oiler coach knew it was offside? Maurice wouldnāt have challenged it? Why not? Panthers fans need to be all over the refs like never before. Maybe Panthers are Dallas and the Oilers have figured them out. Would be an epic comeback from the coaching change of the Oilers or an epic collapse of the Panthers that will take a decade or more to come back from it. If they lose, Maurice goes and you rebuild. Two years is forever in the NHL nowadays.
Favorite moment was Skinnerās final save, followed by an assist for Nurseās empty netter. My whole family was squealing with delight over here in a tv room in Vancouver!!! ā¤ā¤ā¤
It doesn't taste very good. I thought it might be like chicken. Crow definitely goes NOT taste anything like chicken. I'm having to eat a lot of it after I was beyond certain Florida would win in 5 if not sweep. The Oilers deserve tons and tons of credit. Florida looked flat, and Bob will have to stand on his head in game 7 if Florida is to win the cup.
I'm not gunna lie, I havent watched hockey in AGES. Not really a big fan, but 4 days ago I got a notification from espn after game 5, saying OILERS DRAG PANTHERS BACK TO EDMONTON, and I told myself wow, they're doing it, so I watched game 6, I was hoping the Mavericks would do this in the nba, I saw a stat when the mavs blew out boston that the oilers blew the Panthers out and was curious, but didnt watch, but I watched all of game 6 and wow, what a crowd, what a sport. It's rough out there on the ice
It just shows how in sports playing with confidence can make all the difference. Edmonton is playing loose and with confidence and Florida is playing nervous. Florida needs to remember the teams they beat to make it there. I still believe Florida is the better team. I also think the extra day off is not helping Florida between games. I wish the games were every other day. I also laugh at one of the folks who commented after Florida won the first 2 games saying that the Western conference had no business letting Edmonton into the finals. As I said at the time, this Edmonton team is not the team from a few years back–they have much more depth, then back then.
Here is how I think it is going to go down. Either Oilers win in regulation, or Florida pulls the goalie in the third, ties it causing overtime, Oilers win in overtime, as long as Darnel Nurse doesn't cough up the puck allowing Florida to score in overtime.
After game 3 I just didnāt think Skinner would be able to hold it together for 3 games. However, the fact that Edmonton only lost 4 – 3 in game 3 and that they were slowly getting better each game seemed to be a sign that they were gaining confidence. I do wish that Edmonton would try to get it together and finish strong in the 3rd with more offensive zone time. I would love to see Edmonton win, but anything can happen in a game 7.
I was disappointed when they went down by 3.. now that it's knotted… Go Oilers (don't like the Panthers…)… do they have one more…
Tkachuk's dad looking real disappointed right now
Man the Panthers are really going to have their own version of 28-3, mabye moving will be back on the table at some point cause this might legit break the franchise
It is time to relocate the Panthers. This franchise is cursed and if they cannot win it with this team they are never going to win. Looking forward to the day I can trash my Panthers jerseys for Atlanta Hockey Club Jerseys. Please free me and give this team the Utah treatment.
I see Panthers winning gm 7. They need to score the 1st goal, get the building rocking and that should wake them up. It will be a war.
Florida has a chance to win their first Stanley cup, Edmonton has a chance to win it in the best way possible.
Whoever prevails deserves it big time!
As a panthers fan this team just looks completely lost and i donāt see them winning this series. I will be in the arena cheering because i love this team. Game 7ās are a coin flip and some lucky bounces and puck luck can go the cats way but the oilers just look like the better team now. Go cats
At this point, even if the Panthers do win the Cup – the big story of this series will still be the Oilers. They've already made history and what they've accomplished this year will be what people are talking about for decades to come. GO OILERS!! We love ya no matter what!!!
As an Oilers fan. I don't get the hate… do you think people outside of Calgary actually hate the Oilers? Or do they hate the fact that the Oilers have McDavid?
I really hope Edmonton Oilers win the Stanley Cup on Monday. They deserve to win. I'm praying for Edmonton to win the cup on Monday. I want a Canadian team to win.
Tbh next game is basically a must win for both teams
Once the dust settles – Where does this rank amongst the all time finals choke jobs?
– Panthers 3-0 2024
– Falcons 28-3 SBLI
– Warriors 3-1 2016 (73 win team)
I would include 2004 Yankees but that was in the ALCS.
Panthers definitely gonna rebuild this summer.
What is the difference between a choke, and one team figuring out the other teams defensive weakness. A choke would be like not out shooting the other team, not even coming close to the same number of shots on net, or shot attempts, not dominating the play at any point in the game. spending more time in your own zone, than in the other teams zone, rarely if ever threatening to score. Choke – no, failure to adjust, failure to up their game – yes. Bob is the main reason they are where they are, and is weakness has been found. Maybe he needs his tires pumped, but unlike the Canucks Luongo, Bob's weakness is not his ego, lol! The Team is still playing good offensively, just not good enough to beat an improved oilers defense. I have not watched Florida in other series, but from what I saw in the first 3 games, the majority of their defense relies a lot on Bob. Florida should throw a new look at Edmonton and change goalies, provided they have anyone near as good as Bob. Right now Florida has been out coached since late in game 3, in my humble opinion. Oilers have made good changes while Florida either none, or none that have made an effective difference. Skinner hasn't looked bad since he got pulled against the Canucks, mind you I still get scared sometimes when he strays from his net to play the puck. Bob still hasn't recovered since he got pulled in the 8-1 loss. Guess Florida doesn't have an Arters sitting in the wings. Too bad we didn't get to see Demko after game 1 for the Canucks, and Boeser for Game 7 vs Oilers. Arguably 2 of their top 5 players. Would be like Edmonton losing Skinner and Hyman to say the least. Knock on wood! Anyway hope you enjoy my 2 bits worth. lol!
Crazy a week ago this was a horrible final. And nowā¦ā¦ā¦
That pass by Draisaitl was sick.
usually momentum will transfer back and forth between teams, but the Panthers seem to have just gave up the ghost. One more chance to swing it back before its to late. Cats in 7
Can a Canadian team win a cup? Nahhh they always lose in game 7š
Cats fan but it's 90 % Oilers in 7 at this point. They've earned where they are now, and I'm sincerely happy for Skinner. Ofc I still hope Florida will take game 7 but it just doesn't seem likely. Their only chance is to harness the urgency they got used to playing with last year.
It's not about confidence to finish it off after obtaining a 3-0 series lead, it's about how the reason that it became 3-0 is because the winning team is better. In this series, that wasn't the case. The Oilers were overall the better team in 2 of those first 3 games, but through a series of missed shots, crazy saves by Bobrovsky, and weird bounces, they lost anyhow. Since then, they've got a few of those bounces go their way, like a puck deflecting off a leg toward the net instead of deflecting away from it and straight to a Florida player's stick, and what the stats say should have happened is now happening
Is this the most impressive comeback or the worst choke in playoff finals historyš¤
The real miracle if the Oilers win the cup is that they did it with Nurse on the team.
