I like our chances if we can score first tonight. Hope the boys lay it all on the line and come up with the W.

See if they can come out with a lead. But, also important that if they do fall behind, the type of goal it is and what led to it. Take a bad penalty and get scored on the PP, giveaway, weak goal by Bob, would be a killer.
If it’s a good goal by Edm, where they executed better than Fla defended, you can accept that and continue on.

Whatever happens, we’ll make history.
How comforting.

Well guys...best of luck.
Take it from a fan of another team who was on the verge of an epic collapse (2011 R1) and put up the game of their lives to avoid complete and utter humiliation.
I would say your boys step up and get the job done. If they can't get fired up for this, they aren't true professionals.

If we are to lose this, I prefer it to be a blow out so I could say « whatever, they were too good and there was no way we were going to win this ».
If we lose a close game, it will be more heartbreaking.

Sounds good. Heartbreaking 6OT loss coming right up.
I remember having a field trip to the panthers practice rink and I ended up having the whole team sign the jersey my mom got me the day before. My mom saw all the autographs and assumed some kids did it and washed them all off the next day. Thats my earliest memory I have of the team lol.

One of my other memories, for some reason was Ville Peltonen’s penalty shot goal against Tampa. I think it was this game. I was sitting straight back behind the net in the 300s.
Bolts get blown out by Panthers
SUNRISE -- Nathan Horton and Stephen Weiss each scored two goals and Ville Peltonen scored on a penalty shot to lead the Florida Panthers to a season-high fourth straight victory, a 6-2 win over the …

Every single goal we gave up in game 6 was off a stupid play by us. Goal 1 Verhaeghe with a flubbed pass right into the skate of Barkov, who then turned it over. Goal 2 Forsling shot it directly into a skate, Ekblad was out of position and fell down for no apparent reason. Goal 3 a bad line change and Kulikov failed to defend the pass on the ensuing 2 on 1. All three off the rush and all three the result of horrible puck management.
The only explanation I have is the guys wilted under pressure. Maurice downplaying the situation we are in is a desperate attempt to keep the team cool and calm, but it's not working. They're so petrified they can't even make basic passes in the neutral zone.
If they couldn't take the heat in game 6, I am afraid of what happens tonight. Somehow, they need to figure out how to settle down mentally. Scoring first will be absolutely HUGE in that regard.

Since we are still down memory lane, never will forget Eddie doing the dive motion to the refs.
May need Eddie to repeat it if we get the lead and Leon is on the ice.

Okposo in for Cousins is crazy.
Fourth looked good last game, and Cousins can slide up to push someone like #23 down if needed.
Okposo make-a-wish tour continues, I guess

Well at least we avoid the false hope syndrome. Nobody here thinks we will win and for that matter everywhere’s else.
The whole Bob thing worries me. Seems the speed of the game has him spinning around in circles.

Whoever wins in OT is an OT shutout, basically a blowout, so I see where you’re going
To be completely honest, we have only Barkov who’s playing like he’s gonna make a difference and do everything not to lose.
Everywhere else the oilers have the edge. Should be a guaranteed oiler victory skate.
Therefore the Panthers win. (This argument is so illogical that it makes perfect sense.)

I'd love to see an actual poll on this thread for the win/loss expectations...
If games 4 through 6 were closer and we played better, I'd pick us tonight. Since we've allowed 18 goals in 3 games I'm going into this with zero confidence.
Period 1 ends with a 1-0 score for Edmonton. They score on the PP in the second to make it 2-0. We make it 2-1 to provide hope, then give up another two in the third to make it 4-1. We score a hope goal with around 8 minutes left to make it 4-2, then an ENG for a 5-2 final. That's my prediction.

I'm one of those 6 FLA fans.
Those go for $250-$300 on eBay easy nowadays. I was not around back then but i would love to own one someday, crazy that they are as expensive as a damn jersey.
I have a LAUS Enforcement hat that i love from back then, that one doesnt go for that much but its an awesome hat.

How about a 6OT win with a GWG by this #7 lookalike model:

we're all in this together. as others have said, i'd feel bad for the team - it's their job, their legacy. i hope this team has a long window but some guys won't get another chance.
crazy as it sounds as an expat of 30 years, i want this, more than anything, for the community and the future of hockey down there. zito and the owners are doing so much right. a championship or two would cement their place in the community for decades. that would make me happy.
as for us? we'll survive either way. the outcome shouldn't affect us materially. we'll either experience the collective thrill of seeing what seemed like a pipe dream come true or we'll console one another for the next fews days/weeks/months. the community gets deeper either way. bills fans didn't disappear after they lost their 2nd, 3rd or 4th super bowls and while some players may see their fortunes rise or fall, the organization itself is strong and well-positioned to compete for years.
all that said, yeah, i didn't sleep well last night

Bill Zito is literally going to kill a MF'er in the locker room tonight if they lose. How's that for motivation?

whats even funnier is that weve lost every playoff game OEL has scored in
