We win the cup with a healthy Demko. sucks that he keeps getting injured

Split his starts give more responsibility to Silovs, why overplay Demko?

 

[Tact]

I never understood Dallas's gameplay in this series. Why they had Tanev trying to shutdown McDavid instead of a forward ala JT Miller.

This is what will be interesting in the next round what will the matchups be against McDrai.

Barkov and Forsling 100%

barkov against mcdavid.? lundell against draistial if they split up

Panthers press is gonna give the Oilers nightmares. Too many defensive zone lapses and poor habits at getting pucks out will be there undoing if they dont do a lot better than most of what i've seen

Physically they havent had anything like Florida yet

Barkov vs Draisaitl and Bennett Lundell tag teaming Mcdavid is gonna be by far the toughest C ice battle the Oil have had.

Bob is better than Stu.

This should be a interesting Final.

I think Tkachuk will feast against the Oilers. I wonder what his career stats against them when he was a Flame.

 

[Grumbler]

f***ing oilers stole our PDO for this win.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

It's up to Florida to save me from an Oiler tattoo!

They are going to hate Tkachuk

It's up to Florida to save me from an Oiler tattoo!

Man the bets you make

 

[sting101]

Wondering how many times i will call Ekblad Ekholm vice versa

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I will buy an OEL Panthers jersey if they stop this cursed timeline from happening.

 

[Bubbles]

Skinner and his .890 S% is giving them just enough goaltending to get through.

Shades of Kuemper/Niemi.

I've known this day was coming since they won that goddamn lottery.

 

[Hansen]

We have to wait a week for the scf to start? Most anticlimactic shit ever

 

[DarrenX]

Florida in 5.

 

[deadinthewater992]

Oh boy. Hopefully this is all over soon.

I think Tkachuk goes head to head with them.

I was amazed at how non-physical Dallas played the Oilers. Didn’t make their F or D pay much of a price at all.

Something Florida does a nice job of is making life miserable all over the ice with their physical play.

I love how CBC was all over the Canucks’ ass when they won games while getting outshot, and tonight Simpsons says “Glen Sather said it best, stats are for losers”.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

If Edmonton actually wins the Cup, I am not coming out of my house for the rest of the summer.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

The last Canadian team I cheered for was the Senators 16-17. It would have been fun to see them win that year. I loved watching Erik Karlsson, the things he was pulling off was crazy. The beat the Penguins in that game 7 that went to double overtime they win it all that year.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Dallas was shit.

Straight into logo everytime.

Oilers pick two corners and game over.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

God, were we this obnoxious in 2011?

Probably.

 

[Bleach Clean]

The Oilers are a tank commander's dream. And while that is a historically proven strategy, the degree to which EDM 'executed' that strategy, to me, is repulsive. I know it doesn't matter what a Canucks fan thinks in this case. They beat VAN. They were better. Oiler fans should rejoice. But damn, sometimes I hate how the NHL rewards epic failure.

 

[Svencouver]

i guess all the experts were right. the oilers were cup favorites all along. credit to holland for building the best team in the league

 

[canuckking1]

Florida plays a similar style to Vancouver. They just have way better personnel and it’s a style Mcdavid struggles with. I think the panthers are about overwhelm them in the finals

Rewarding failure is how teams win cups.

Instead, FAQ was chasing mediocrity between 2015-2022.
