NHL 2023-2024 Out of Town

[EverettMike]

This is Paul Maurice's life's work, his masterpiece

I've spent many, many years thinking he's a terrible coach and was greatly troubled by what seemed like an inevitability a week ago.

Now I think I feel bad...

And the panthers suddenly turn into a pumpkin

Kinda happened with vegas too but that team had a lot of injuries which doesn’t seem to be the excuse this time, plus they were up 3-0- vegas was always in control

It’s like the panthers finally switched back over to the team they used to be, where were these guys last year? Bruins are parading with silver last summer if we got this mentally soft mistake prone team were seeing vs Edmonton


I hope Edmonton wins if nothing else but for teams to build around skill again instead of doing the dirty crap. I’d like to see Florida not get rewarded for the way they conduct themselves, Tkuchuk punching pasta down on the ice was my line

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

 

[Grimey]

Hopefully cats demolish them. Never was a McDavid guy.

He’s no Derrick Brassard, that’s for sure

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

70 years since game 7 OT in the SCF’s. That’s my wish for Monday.

 

[FrankerC]

I have only watched highlights of this series, I'm salty when it comes to the Bruins losing in the POs. But whats better than Game 7 SC, guess I'll be taking a nap to prep for any OTs.

it's going 6 OT's

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

it's going 6 OT's

Now that would be terrible.

A goal in the first half of the first OT session would be perfect.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

I hope the Oilers win this. Hopefully, there will be no more threads on who is better between McDavid and Matthews. This also makes all choke jobs lesser; this will be number one.

If a Canadian-based team wins, I am happy as long as it is not the habs, canucks or leafs. Especially since they have so many Canadians on them, it reminds me of the 2011 Bruins.

 

[McGarnagle]

I just realized the best part of this is that if Edmonton wins, the 2010 Bruins are off the hook and Florida in the finals will always be the first association with a 3-0 collapse. The 2014 Sharks didn't stick in people's memories because it was the first round, this is the finals so it'll be a thing

There are such things?

 

[DominicT]

There are such things?

Unfortunately, yes

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Unfortunately, yes

Glad I don't know where they are.

 

[DominicT]

Glad I don't know where they are.

Surely you remember the days when Borje Salming was as good as Bobby Orr?

Game 6 was the first I watched from start to finish. Saying that, it feels like the Panthers who have tried to assert their physicality and aggressive forecheck to intimidate or force opponents into mistakes leading to chances faced a team in the Oilers who have found a way to counter that with quick puck movement and a fantastic PK and the Panthers look a bit lost

What has worked for them without a ton of pushback from their playoff opponents is suddenly being severely tested and they looked like a team last night with no answers

All pressure on the Cats Monday IMO

 

[khanomcat]

Was working out last night and put my tv steam on and came across two guys talking about what this means to Canada. They said they felt bad for the two Florida fans if they blow it.

Pretty arrogant if you ask me but this collapse if it happens is mind blowing. Im no Mcbaby fan either or that scum bag Kane.

Florida has its scum bags as well but I want the east to win regardless.

Goaltending Goaltending Goaltending, ever who gets it in game 7 brings home the cup

Not big on Kane either, but have always cut him some slack when he KO’d Matt Cooke shortly after the hit on Savard.

It feels like the Oilers have figured out the Panthers.

I would LOVE to see Edmonton win the cup.

I remember the days, but not the discussion.

I was in my 20's and didn't know where Toronto was. And if you told me it was an hour and a half north of Buffalo that wouldn't have helped.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

I'M GOING TO GAME SEVEN!!!

It's been a lifetime dream of mine to be in the rink when the Stanley Cup was awarded. It's finally gonna happen Monday night.

I bought tickets on StubHub for my daughter and I when the Oil went up 2-0. Once they got the first ENG, I booked the flights and hotel. I can't wait.

Rooting for EDM to win, but at the end of the day I'll be there in person to see the cup presentation. The only way it can go awry is if the game goes to 5 OTs, as we have 6 am flights home on Tuesday.

That is awesome!!!! Enjoy and share some pics too!

me too. An acquaintance of mine was just in Edmonton on business, 3 days of workshops and yet, felt like nobody was concentrating, instead any and all focus on the Oilers

 

[khanomcat]

I loved the never-ending chants. It felt like the fans were never quiet. The broadcasters spoke about it being at 110 decibels, the level of an ambulance siren. Imagine hearing that constantly for three hours! I guess it was probably less during intermissions, at least. Watched a newscast about two hours after the game, when there was still a very large crowd celebrating just outside the arena.

 

[Ludwig Fell Down]

Gotta wear a Bruins jersey. It’s a requirement

Oddly enough, the only Bruins jersey I've ever owned is a Pete Peeters. My daughter took custody of that about a dozen years ago. I'm guessing she'll be wearing it.

Down 3-0 I predicted an Oilers victory and I am sticking to it.

Amazing stuff as always, Dom.

Saw this somewhere

Interesting, I feel like 2010 doesn't get brought up all that often anymore, IMO sweeping the Flyers en route to the Cup a year later took that team firmly off the hook.

If Florida chokes this I think this gets the heat off the 2023 Bruins for "Worst Chokejob". If Florida actually loses Monday I can't see them ever living it down.

not yet....

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
