If the Oilers win on Friday. Game 7 isn't until Monday the 24th. And the draft is on the 27th and 28th and obviously unrestricted free agency starts July 1st. So my question is. How the hell is the winner of this series going to be able to do a parade? I honestly don't think that they're going to have time to do it? And if they do one. There is a very real possibility that one of the players on the team could be under contract with somebody else by the time they do one. LOL

Oilers have been the better team in 4/5 this series. If not for great performances from Bobrovsky in game 1 and 3 this could already be over.
Still, they have to do the improbable act of completing the reverse sweep, but it does seem there's actually a decent chance at it.

If Florida chokes this one away, I never want to hear about 4-1 again.
I said if Florida loses game 5 after that Tkachuk guarantee there was no coming back from it. Edmonton is winning game 6 big time and will roll in game 7 it’s over for the Panthers
Edmonton has just flat out been the better team. Bobrovsky was super human in game 1. Edmonton though has figured out how to play Florida has the series has gone on

I know the season seems to be dragging on but I don't really mind that the Final may finish right before the draft, followed closely by Free Agency.
Less time the league is down the better, IMO.

I agree.
I thought Edm was the better team in Games 1 and 3.
Florida was great in game 2, but the only reason they are in this still is Bob.
Odds are they still win but now I want to see an epic collapse

Florida needed that third period to know they can play with them, but it may not be enough. They weren’t great in the first three games yet all the analyst were talking about how the series was over.
Maybe that third will shift the momentum back in their favour, but I’ll be more surprised if Florida wins the Cup than if Edmonton does.
Barring injuries 60-40 Edmonton wins. Game 7 will be 90-10.

Connor Brown's knees look 100% and he is playing like a beast. Good to see.

He’s one of those heart and soulers that once they’re on a good team you know they’re going to contribute at some point.
Had he been on Tampa or Boston instead of the Leafs he would have been in greater demand as free agent.
How many playoff runs would it take Matthews to get to 40 points? 
But did you see that the Oilers are finding "how good the Atlantic is"?!?!How many playoff runs would it take Matthews to get to 40 points?

I'm inclined to say that odds will at some point prevail and Florida will win, but this McDavid character is a different beast.

Seems the modern day philosopher coach, Paul Maurice, has stopped philosophizing. I don't want the Oilers to win, but if the Panthers blow a 3-0 lead that would be absolutely hilarious. The only reason why the Panthers are in the finals (this year and last) is because they have a blank check from Bettman to do whatever they want. Leaf players have been suspended for much less than Florida has been allowed to get away with.

5 on 5, Panthers have been the better team in 3/5 games. Not sure how people are saying Oilers were better in game 3 when the Panthers had better quality chances.
Special teams have played a big factor, though. Panthers just need to not give up a damn SH goal next game and they'll have a good chance. For the Oilers, McDavid needs to continue his magic on the PP because Draisaitl hasn't really been effective this series

If Florida somehow loses this, it'll be a collapse for the ages. I'm torn. Part of me wants to see them suffer, and the other part doesn't want to see Edmonton lift the cup.

8 points in 2 games
We can't get 8 points from our star in a 7 game series
Somehow our star makes more than him
