I don't think the Oilers are necessarily frauds, just that they ran into a better team that's been dominate most of the playoffs. They've looked like the better team in every series they've played so far and I don't think Dallas or anyone else would look much better against this Panthers team this season.

True but you also need to look at how Panthers are dominating the Oilers. TWO goals in 8 periods.

This is also two postseasons now that the OIlers have had their two superstars playing like 2009 Crosby/Malkin and they still haven't got it done. Very, very squandered opportunities by the OIlers organization.

If Holland were competent the Oilers would likely have a Cup by now.

That Pens team had Hal Gill. Only a Gill caliber defenseman can help Edmonton.

Florida is such a well balanced team.
They can play any game you want, have tons of depth and now a goalie who's extremely locked in.
Lucky for us they need to give Reinhart bigtime raise and also Montour, so that should impact their overall depth.
When people say they want to have a tough team, this is what many people envision.

It’s also an indication that you need a balance team to win the Cup instead of having a few top players. Bc McD and Drai are as good as they come in terms of being the most talented player in the league and yet they are not doing anything for 8 periods.

Yeah after watching this ass kicking I’m not as down on the Leafs as I was before lol. There is no way the Leafs or any other team is beating Florida. Way too deep, their forecheck is nuts, their D is suffocating, they’re tough. They’re the Champs.

The Atlantic Division is nuts. TB back to back Cups, Florida about to win 1

I am convinced we can't have a team of overpaid players and hope to win teh cup.

Also, I think I am also convinced that we really shouldn't go after McDavid in UFA if he hits the market. He will demand too much money and it will gut our overall team strength.

FLA has a couple high paid players, but their mid to underpaid players are really preforming for them, Zito has done tidy business there.. I don't think you can find a team has had players playing at an elite level like these guys while being this underpaid.

Verhaeghe @ 4.1m
Reinhart @ 6.5m
Bennett @ 4.425m
Montour @ 3.5m
Forsling @ 2.6m

Those 5 players have been a steal.

When in the entire history of the nhl has anyone ever considered combining reg season and playoffs?

What an odd thing to say

Pretty funny listening to some clueless fans wanting Florida over Boston. Leafs were beating nobody as usual. I think Tre is smart enough to realize it. Dumbas may still not get it.

Thats because their defense outside of Ekholm and Bouchard is crap, and Bouchard himself is primarily an offensive weapon.

They were carried all year by McDrai and Ekholm. They have run into the best team in hockey and this is what happens when you aren't deep.

That's what happens sometimes. Seems like the Panthers learned from last year when they got completely dominated by the Knights where they lost in 5 and 3 of those games they allowed 5 or more goals. This year Bob has been great and their team is playing great in front of him. If the Oilers end up losing this series in a similar fashion, who knows maybe they can learn as well and come back better next year.
