I’ve never been a big Maurice fan but I know he’s the media darling for his Dad jokes that would crack up a Priest convention, this quotes is Paul Maurice in a nutshell and why his team will collapse.

Winning takes courage and Florida’s coach doesn’t show it, Edmontons coach does. As Bev Priestman said “you ask your players to show courage, you have to do the same as a coach:

"There was no way I thought you could conclusively say that was offside," Maurice said.

"I just know that when I would have had to have challenged that based on what I saw, I would not have challenged.

"I'm not saying it's not offside. We'll get still frames. We bring in the CIA, we'll figure it out. But in the 30 seconds that I would have made that call I would not have challenged."

Florida looked unstoppable, relentless, the “wagon” that would be rolling up the Stanley Cup. What Edmonton has done the past three games has been remarkable, they have made them look look like they don’t even belong in the STF alongside them. This after Edmonton going down 3-0 early.

It’s been incredible to watch. And Edmonton of all teams looking like a defensive masterclass.

I put money on Florida to win it all after round 1, and our conditional pick improves if they win, so cool if they do.

On the other hand, seeing my childhood team win the cup in Cinderella fashion will be cool too.

I just hate all of the delays in actually playing these games!

Pretty incredible that they do it with their PK too
EDM = PP usually
But their PK has been miraculous

Given what's at stake, I'm surprised a Paul Maurice led team hasn't had a 4th line player just come out and clobber McDavid.

I don't like the Oilers, but I'd really like to see this guy win this and leave no excuses for entering legendary status.

I have my doubts. Although Edmonton has momentum, Florida has home ice and there's curse hanging over Edmonton that isn't over the state of Florida. I think the game 7 plays out the same way Oilers vs Canes did in 2006.

Impressed with Oilers coaching for adapting to the situation. Anyone who isn't a believer in how coaching can change the tide in a game/series is getting first hand examples, clear as day.

agreed. It's like the toe in the crease reviews from 1998/1999. It was dumb then and its dumb now.

The hat move at the blue line that ended up causing the offside absolutely had an impact on the play, it opened up options

Apologies if that’s not what you meant

My point is if you need to break out the csi microscope and coordinate multiple angles to determine if it was offside or not, it didn't impact the play. If there was a leg in the way that made it so they couldnt definitively say one way or the other and the goal stood, no one outside Edmonton fans would even raise a stink because you wouldnt even know

This is the most exciting SCF i've ever seen. Most important game in Florida's history because a loss is the biggest chokejob in NHL history, but a win can salvage their choking + give them their first ever cup which would silence the choking memes.

McDavid deserves the Conn Smythe even if EDM loses. A sweep would've sucked, but a loss now after McDavid has carried a couple of games, but also after EDM's depth has shown up, would be a heart breaker.

I love the crow i've had to eat for thinking the sweep would happen. C'mon Florida, don't choke tonight

LOL. You have unique “insight" into the way people think.

Not long until we find out whether we're getting another 4th rounder this year or a 3rd in 2026. Exciting.
