Around the League Thread | The one where Florida blows it…?

[Grumbler]

If it was the canucks we'd lose the coaches challenge.

 

[moiderer]

Offside call sucks but it's probably right and 3 shots is indefensible.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

It’s actually insane how teams make Skinner’s job so incredibly easy

Trying to cover McDrai is incredibly taxing. They can play 27+ min and you need incredible depth to smother them all series long. 2022 Colorado and 2023 Vegas had that depth. Florida has OEL being launched into key minutes for some reason.

 

[Canucks LB]

If the Oilers win after being down 0-3 in the scf, i hate to f***ing say this because I hate the oilers, but holy f*** do they ever deserve it.

They can talk as much shit as they want for life basically

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Yup.

Bobrovsky the only guy who’s really shown up so far for them.

 

[StickShift]

That’s kinda where I’m at now. Florida doesn’t deserve the Cup and that’s just a simple fact.

I want to see the Florida roster blowup and shenanigans

Yeah, I’m kinda on the same page. The Panthers have not been a convincing team to cheer for.

Don’t love that Edmonton might win, but Florida feels a bit undeserving as a market.

Any team that can come back from 0-3 in a series deserves my respect. Let alone the Stanley Cup Final.

 

[valkynax]

3 SOG almost half way in, that's pitiful.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

LOL @ the loser team who is going to pay for Reinhart.

Mitch Marner-like.

 

[Diamonddog01]

Maurice does seem brutal when a team needs killer instinct.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

LOL @ the loser team who is going to pay for Reinhart.

Mitch Marner-like.

He’s a good player, but he’s not a perennial 50 goal guy. Anyone who pays him expecting that is going to be really disappointed.

Panthers didn’t even deserve the 3-0 series lead so this is things balancing out but the way it’s happening is too demoralizing for a team to overcome.

Feels like they know what the outcome is going to be at this point.

 

[nucks88]

So this Barkov being underrated thing….

 

[CanucksSayEh]

LOL @ the loser team who is going to pay for Reinhart.

Mitch Marner-like.

Luckily we already have one and can't afford another.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

3 points in his last 7.5 playoff games.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I think if you’re looking at a guy on the Panthers that needs to do more, it’s Tkachuk.

 

[moiderer]

Guys like Rodrigues and Janmark outplaying Reinhart is tough.

Matt Tkachuk was a monster last game but they wasted it. They might not turn it up until too late tonight as well.

 

[bandwagonesque]

The Panthers have "But we were up 3-0!" written all over them. They thought they'd won.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Waiting for that 3rd dagger goal to turn it off.

The Panthers have "But we were up 3-0!" written all over them. They thought they'd won.

8-1 loss was a turning point.

 

[JT Milker]

He is almost for sure playing through a concussion.

Which is despicable.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Offense wins championships.

This is a scorers league. It doesn't matter that McDavid gives up goals, that Skinner sux or Nurse is Nurse.

If an offense is clicking, they don't even have to score to be successful. Completing passes, taking shots, it all keeps the opposing team away from your own net.

In game 7, Oilers had 2 goals in a period the Canucks had 2 shots. The Canucks had 2 goals in the 3rd, when the Oilers had 2 shots....

'2 way' has become the new label for 1 way players, and it's the wrong side of the ice to be playing on.

 

[Bonham]

How did that miss?

 

[moiderer]

No shots from forwards half way through the game.

Garland for Forsling; you know he'd at least give you an off angle slider.

 

[ForecheckBackcheck]

The Panthers have "But we were up 3-0!" written all over them. They thought they'd won.

Flying all their family and friends on charters to Edmonton for Game 4 was a bad look. Talk about looking past your opponent and thinking about celebrations before the finish line. Weak mentality tbh.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Which is despicable.

The NHL takes concussions and dangerous plays very seriously in October or November.

May/June? Nah.

To be fair - every team in history with a chance to clinch does that, no?
