Oilers lucked out there on that rebound. It could have been 3-0 Panthers.

Bob is playing unreal, if he sustains it Florida wins it but the oilers are showing they can pick apart Florida’s coverage and forecheck.
The Panthers will adjust for game 2, no way the Oilers will outplay them this bad. Edmonton is playing about as well as they can except for putting the puck in the net.

paging Evander Kane. Thought I'd hear his and Perry's names a lot more tonight.
Kane is human excrement.
As much as I dislike Bennett and Tkachuk, there's no comparison to Kane.
If he wasn't playing for the Oilers, I'd be rooting for them.

Bob is insane tonight. Shoot high on him, damn it…..
Too bad Edmonton is probably on Linus’ no go list. They’d be a force with him. Skinner has been good in playoffs but he’s not going to steal things like Bobrovsky is.

Give BOB credit. He's been damn good.

I don't know why but I want FLA to win.
They've definitely earned it. Hurts to say. But yeah

Pasta remains the only star to score 5v5 on Bob so far these playoffs I think.

Let’s Go Bruins👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Agreed. This is why I think Florida wins in 5. Bob won’t be outplayed by Skinner. Florida looks like NJ in the 90’s. If you don’t get a 2 or 3 goal lead on them, you won’t win. They need 2 goals to win. Edmonton will have to show they can match Florida’s grit. I don’t think they can. Florida will be better in game 2 as you said. Hope I’m wrong but Florida wins it this year.

Tkachuk was terrible tonight, he had a handful of turnovers and I think Maurice picked up on it early and limited his ice time. He was 7th among Panthers forwards in time on ice. Bob played great as did Barkov, that guy is simply the best two-way player in the game today imo.
Because he grew up with McDavid, he didn't rabbit punch him in the temple.

Game One reminded me of the ECF, in which one team carried the play most of the night, but otherworldly goaltending kept it close. Only this time it was Florida with the goalie stealing the game.
The psychology on both sides is interesting. Edmonton could hang their heads, knowing they could've/should've won; or they can build on the loss, feeling those who said they'd be no match for Florida were thus far, wrong.
As for Florida, they can take solace that they didn't have their A-Game and still won; or realize Edmonton will give them a good battle, and know they will need to be better going forward.
I don't blame either goal on Skinner; but I do think Bobrovsky likely stops both, and that was the difference.

They clearly weren't better than Bob.
I expect Lomberg next game, not enough dirty play last night.
That wasn't the best road game for Edmonton but its one of their best ones against
a legit contender.
The guy has won two Vezina's and has been nominated for a 3rd this year.
Certainly capable of being a difference maker 3 more times, though Florida is going to need to be better than tonight.
Florida needed 4 periods against Boston to get going after a long layoff. So it will be interesting to see how they start G2.
Don't see McDavid and Draisaital both being shutdown 5\5 this series.
