NHL 2023-2024 Out of Town: THE SUNRISE KITTENS HAVE WON THE STANLEY CUP

[Ladyfan]

It's all over but the crying for the panthers

..all the pressure is on the cats, and all the momentum is with the Oilers

Even though I haven't watched more than 10 minutes of this series, Edmonton has figured out how to beat them

...and will finish them off on Monday

I hope you are right

Rangers give Kakko a 1 year Show Me deal.

Bruins were not winning Cup last year with Bergeron trying to play with a herniated disc
and whatever was wrong with McAvoy.

The B's were playing great without Bergy in the lineup against Florida last year

Monty screwed up by bringing him back with all the momentum for the Bruins up 3 games to 1
..and leaving an injured Ullmark in net for games 5 and 6 was another bad decision

Sometimes it's the things you don't do that bring success.......or disaster

Since I have very little interest in this series, I don't think I'm allowed to jinx anybody

I just have a very strong feeling the cats have been declawed and are drowning in oil

It's not just that the Oilers have come back from three-zip in the Final, it's that they went from looking completely overmatched to completely dominating. It's legit one of the craziest things I've ever seen, as though the two teams switched uniforms after game 3.

Florida really seems to have no answer to Edmonton's game 4 adjustments.

Maurice is probably inside his own head right now.

 

[lextune]

If Florida completes this epic collapse that'll take the '78 and '79 Bruins off the books as the last team to lose in the Finals in back-to-back seasons.

So that's nice.

Paul Maurice not only never winning a Cup, with 1800+ games coached, but also losing B2B finals and blowing a 3-0 lead in the latter would be the best thing.

I cannot stand that smug douche of a coach.

when is he resigning from Florida..... didn't he quit on both Carolina and Winnipeg

I love this but as tempting as it is I will not watch game 7, as I have not watched one game of this final. I don't want to jinx the Oilers.

That's horse hockey

 

[SPLBRUIN]

If I was Florida I would go to a hard trap like the Leafs employed against Boston late in our series. It would greatly cut down on scoring chances for both teams, but I would trust Bob over Skinner in a game 7.

If the Oilers score first in G7, that Panthers' bench might fall apart.

Odd what some posters find significant.

That was '77 and '78, by the way.

It's not like 1977 and 1978 didn't happen now.

It would feel like when Patrice scored first in G7 against Vancouver. There was such a long way to go but Luongo's expression, you just knew it was done.

Ahh, it was, thanks for the correction, it all seems not so long ago to me, and blends together.

And it's not all that significant, just fun trivia, anything to soften the blow of having to see the Oilers win another Cup, lol.

If true then…….wow! True fans? Me thinks not!!!

McDavid is the best player in the world, I want to see him win a Cup. I remember his face when Edmonton won the lottery. He deserves to raise the Cup, sooner rather than later. To do it while breaking some of Gretzky's records along the way, with the historic collapse by the Panthers as a bonus......please Hockey Gods, make it happen.

I don't give a s**t that Kane is on the team BTW. There are a lot of a**holes with rings.

I wish I had the kind of money just laying around to drop 3k on a seat for a playoff game. Maybe some day...

Many played for the Oilers.

McDavid is a truly incredible player. The most dominant performer since Mario. Breaking 99's assists record for a single playoff year is absolutely ridiculous.

There are lots of ways to describe his greatness, but for this long time hockey fan the defining quality of his play is his ability to do everything at top speed.

He's also on a short list of the greatest skaters I've ever seen. His combination of speed, quickness, and agility is staggering.

It's as if he's a blend of Orr, Coffey, and Fedorov.

Even if Florida somehow manages to win game 7, I don't see how the Conn Smythe could go to anyone else.

This is why it’s hilarious to me when people say things like “never been a McDavid guy” - well then, sparky, you’re not a hockey guy lol
