Around the League Thread | Conference Final Edition | We Are All Kevin Bieksa

Too many old guys as well.

I was thinking today that all the conference finals teams bar Florida are in their likely best two year window right now. Oilers have Drai’s free agency hanging over them and a Bouchard raise in 25. NYR cap crunch in 12 months. Dallas old guys getting older.

 

[canucksfan]

I don’t think anyone is beating them. They look like the hungriest team. Canucks couldn’t even beat the Oilers and I doubt they beat the Stars either. They didn’t stand a chance against that Florida team.

Not worth losing sleep over.

My only concern for the Panthers is Bobrovsky.

 

[Peen]

I think the Panthers will beat the Oilers.

Florida Dallas was my pick with Florida beating Dallas pre playoffs.

But with the way the Oilers specials teams are going, I don’t think I’d pick Florida anymore.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

As much as I don’t want to see EDM advance

They are the best team from the west this post season

Florida Dallas was my pick with Florida beating Dallas pre playoffs.

I don’t think Florida is gonna get called much

Gregory Campbell is an executive for the Panthers

My only concern for the Panthers is Bobrovsky.

Not much of a concern when their SCF opponent doesn’t have a Shesterkin, Swayman or Vasilevskiy

 

[Peen]

McDavid is peak McDavid in this game

Demko saves both of these goals btw

 

[PG Canuck]

Well a Canadian fanbase is about to experience a SCF since us. Bubble doesn’t count.

Cats year

Over.. Tanevs costing himself some $$$

 

[Bonham]

Special teams the difference once again.

Their powerplay is deadly and their aggressive penalty kill has given the Stars fits.

Oilers looking primed for the finals.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

2-0

Florida’s executive Gregory Campbell should start calling his dad

Not when teams know what he’s playing through.

Media’s telegraphed the Ottawa 6x3 offer for months now. A few bad games in R3 won’t change thag

Friedman said Dallas is going to try everything possible to bring him back too

I get he's injured but he looked a total step behind in this series pre-injury as well. I badly wanted him back but probably not at the rate and term he will get based on reputation.

 

[Joe Rogan]

Ian Cole and Tocchet's dogshit powerplay for 50 straight games cost us a SCF appearance. Nice

That was a terrible giveaway had all the time to clear the puck.

I’ve been calling Pete DeBoer a fraud before it was cool.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

God f***ing help me if they win the Cup. I live in Calgary. I work with a bunch of Oilers fans. It has been miserable the last few weeks.

Panthers, you are our only hope. Thankfully, they are a f***ing phenomenal team that won't roll over and die.

4 of the 5 last post season he has made it to at least the conference final

I don’t think he’s the problem

 

[LordBacon]

honestly if the Canucks did manage to fix the pp they might actually had made the finals…

Special teams are a big reason with EDMs success this post season, their new coach really gave them new life

 

[calnuck]

God dammit Dallas…..

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

honestly if the Canucks did manage to fix the pp they might actually had made the finals…

This was a massive wasted opportunity.

 

[DimitriL07]

Whatever it’s more satisfying if they lose in the finals instead.

 

[PG Canuck]

I’ve been calling Pete DeBoer a fraud before it was cool.

Hoping Tocchet can be a fraud and lead us to half as many WCF’s.

 

[Tact]

Atleast we took Oilers to 7 games and had two opportunities to eliminate them.

Second part of your sentence just made it far more depressing.
