I agree. Drai needs to put everything he has into game 6 and possibly game 7

Absolutely agree but at the same time I don't trust his judgement to pick his spots using the middle.
He's a coaching nightmare.

I mean I don't mind it, the league might get grumpy grabbing a guy 3 months after the deadline and sticking them in your line up lol
They’re not all beauties in the sunshine state are they!
We’d probably forfeit the game for having an ineligible player.
Calgary would get a 3rd round pick too.

Bissonette is strange because he clearly has knowledge of the game in the sense of breaking down systems, play on ice, etc.
His analysis of which teams are better than other teams is usually completely out to lunch in every way. Still laugh thinking about how he crowned the Kings as having "the best centre depth in the league" after getting Dubois lol.
Knowledgeable about on ice stuff, equivalent knowledge of causal water cooler fan at everything else.

As stated above, 29 doesn't need to be the huge difference maker, with Holloway, Brown, are Janmark carrying play in up the ice and in the O zone.
Excellent user name lad!!!!!!
He had a +/- of 0 and had more games with a (-) in this playoff than a (+) even before this series.
Media group think and narrative building is frustrating at the best of times, but this was almost to a new level. Especially "he held Panarin without a point!!" when he wasn't even matched up against Panarin for the most part 5v5.
The narrative about Barkov for year is "soooooooo underrated!" so I think what happens is fans and media go out of their way to shower praise on him to show that they know what they're talking about by not "underrating" him. However, as a result he is now grossly overrated. Great player, don't get me wrong, but the suggestion that he's the best defensive forward since Trottier or was going to casually shut McDavid down is laughable. Didn't even notice him playing last night.

McDavid would reach legendary status if he could pull this off.
Just need to get Draisaitl going.
Just need to get Draisaitl going.
In both Game 2 and 5 I was actually happy we were going on the PK. In Game 2 we couldn't do anything, and in 5 we had a run of bad shifts before going down a man. Game 2 didn't go our way, but we took the game over after the goal in Game 5. Even in Game 4, we weren't getting walked on, but again an early PK allowed us to be in a position to set the tone.
Our PK is so lethal, and the Panthers PP is much more docile in pace than their 5v5 attack. Give us a chance to get our feet under us, get some space to get comfortable, and get back in the game. I HATE to potentially jinx it, but our PK is an asset in many ways at the moment. I'd rather defend on the PK than 5v5.
I was told that Florida wanted to lose Game 4 on purpose to win Game 5 at home?

Hell of a game from everyone really, keep playing like this and the Cup is coming home to Edmonton.
Also, holy shit, the ice seemed awful yesterday. I suppose it was an issue for both teams, though, but wow.

Leave to the flames to not listen to Bettman request and make a trade lol
NHL needs to start preparing now for ways to address this ahead of a potential Game 7.
It is not acceptable for the ice to be this bad in a Championship series in the best league in the world. I don't care if the game is being played in the Mojave Desert, find a way to make it better and figure it the f*** out. If their fans have to be a little chilly in the stands then so be it.

Heard yesterday from TO media that he's dealing with possibly back and hand issues.
Before the game, also heard that the Oil avoided the gentleman's sweep (losing in 5).. Never heard of that BS.
