I never figured it would be this annoying.

I never figured it would be this annoying.

I like to read the playoffs board, so I knew what we were in for. I told people it would be worse than Toronto.

The three breakaways are the only thing that worry me. Those were all preventable, our guys simply got beat. They can have all the shots they want.

"The main boards are just a cesspool of toxicity disingenuity from the same trolls though. Always funny to see the same guys rush back after disappearing in each round."

"Most of these trolls couldn't walk from the couch to the fridge without passing out."

"I don't go to the mains too much lately because all that toxicity is literally affecting my mental well-being."

So winning good, losing bad color me shocked

Winning is only good if you don’t need a goalie’s help. Otherwise it’s basically a loss. Gary, fix this please.

Everyone’s raving about Bob’s performance and that’s still underselling it.

Bob just pitched a perfect game in the World Series against the 1927 Yankees.

Truly one of the greatest goalie performances of all time.

 

[Mogo]

I find it hilarous on all these takes. If Oilers play like they did the first half of the game they'll take the series.

Do any of these idiots get that would mean Panthers would have play the same way too. Way under there potential

 

[pantherbot]

I agree. if you take away the breakaway breakdowns, we were ok. not great but passable. there were a few plays in front of the net where they were alone but generally, they didn't get a lot of clean looks off east-west plays. and yes, our pressure forced them to play faster than they wanted to. but they can potentially execute better.

don't kid yourself, though - the oilers will certainly make adjustments. they should feel ok about what they generated but they're not going to pat themselves on the back and spend the next day and half on the beach. they know they need to score and will tweak things to try and do so.

I don't know that we can withstand the type of pressure we saw last night but I was pessimistic that we'd be able to get through game one like that so...?

I think it starts with our D - we weren't quick enough with our first passes vs their forecheck and that starts everything. if we can't cleanly get up the ice as a 5-man unit, we can't get OUR forecheck going. even simple puck management was below average last night - how many times did our D "out-kick" our coverage on high flips (always a plan B for our D when under pressure), resulting in a quick counter and more time defending?

Yeah I'm not saying we were defensive stalwarts or played amazing, but I think given how well the Oilers had their offensive game going, we did well limiting their ability to finish and set up plays.

The Oilers players all keep saying how well they played and they basically deserved better. Maybe we'll see some adjustments, but honestly I don't think it'll be that different.

 

[pantherbot]

Didn't know we were the ones trying to run their goalie multiple times. Felt like they could body slam Bob and it would be fine.

Is Tkachuk injured again? He only played just over 13 minutes

 

[CanePanther]

Would like to to see Lomby come in a bit to counter act some of the Edmonton speed.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Is Tkachuk injured again? He only played just over 13 minutes

I think he's definitely not at 100%. I don't think he was ever really at 100% this season, tbh.

 

[batting1k]

Is Tkachuk injured again? He only played just over 13 minutes

He had 26 shifts which was 2nd most. He’s prob fine

 

[Cats711]

Thought the refs actually favored the Oilers last night. Some people just cannot take losing

All last week I read how Edmonton's 10 shot 2-1 win v Dallas was a defensive masterclass, winning is the only thing that matters. Today Florida's 18 shot 3-0 win is an injustice to hockey. Got lucky to win, wont win anymore games as heavily outclassed.

Just can't make this sh*t up.

He had 26 shifts which was 2nd most. He’s prob fine

I think a few of our players just weren't at it. Kept the shifts short as seemed a bit leggy. So many falling over too.

Really? Is that ice time then wrong? Only Tarasenko and 4th line had less ice time among forwards

I doubt Maurice will change anything after a W.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Big congrats to the Everblades, by the way.

 

[batting1k]

Yeah, NHL app says he had 26 shifts, Tarasenko had 20, and then Lorentz/Okposo/Stenlund.

 

[Jakey53]

The Oilers were clearly the better team in this one. The Panthers had McDrai snoozing, and the refs and lucky charms on their side. Oilers in 5.

Did you see that non call on that OEL hit from behind?
