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

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Oilers have won games by limiting shots against to protect Skinner. They've done it all playoffs long. And then they don't need much to bury their own chances.

 

[bbud]

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.

Hate coilers cats I don't like too bad both cantt lose

 

[nucks88]

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

I agree that they are both are MIA….

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Matt Cooked.

 

[Nucker101]

Yeah the panthers are toast

What an epic choke job, not sure how you ever recover from this

 

[StickShift]

I am looking forward to an all-time presser from Paul Maurice after this game.

 

[mossey3535]

The key to both these PKs is to abandon the high point passes unless the dman can move downhill which makes the pressure guy collapse. Oilers just waiting on the high play because right near the blueline there's not much space or angle.

This is the type of meltdown that sends a franchise into a rebuild

Knob is taking him to school

I don’t think they’ll tear it down yet, but Maurice will certainly be canned.

This is their second straight SCF and they don't have a Cup. I just can't even fathom it.

Vancouver did. Barley. Albeit in the first round.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

It's bewildering just watching Florida and seeing how disinterested they are. You can really say that some of these players have checked out which is astonishing.

Oil were down 0 3 here too

What surprises me is lack of productivity from reinhart and tchachuk

 

[mossey3535]

Similar to last season, Florida basically has no legs to maintain their forecheck. It just took longer this SCF. Without that chaos theyre just not as effective.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Panthers about to lose all of their newly gained fans after this final

Bobby Lou’s team choked once again

 

[PG Canuck]

I am looking forward to an all-time presser from Paul Maurice after this game.

If he really wanted this team to win he’d retire before game 7 and let someone else coach

 

[Bonham]

Barkov hesitated there.

Best look all game too.

Edit - maybe not. Good save by Skinner.

 

[TruKnyte]

This is why I just shook my head at all of the Canucks fans trying to dunk on the Oilers when they were down 3-0.

 

[supercanuck]

Can't remember what it was like in R1 2011 anymore, but after losing 7-2, 5-0, and then 4-3 in OT, did many people outside of Van give them a chance to win Gm 7?

 

[PG Canuck]

This is why I just shook my head at all of the Canucks fans trying to dunk on the Oilers when they were down 3-0.

What about the ones that legitimately think we’d be doing this if we beat the Oilers

That makes me laugh more

 

[moiderer]

Wonder if the Finals taking 3 weeks blew off Florida's momentum. Oilers having McDavid as a difference maker and more time to recover are both advantages for them out of it too.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

This is why I just shook my head at all of the Canucks fans trying to dunk on the Oilers when they were down 3-0.

Our fans have been downplaying their success all year. They had 2 massive winning streaks including a 15 game winning streak and dug themselves out of a massive hole to finish 2nd in the Pacific.

It's not just McDrai. Their bottom 6 have been lights out at both ends of the ice.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

This is why I just shook my head at all of the Canucks fans trying to dunk on the Oilers when they were down 3-0.

In all fairness, this had a microscopic chance of happening.

 

[Bonham]

That's game.

Horrible. They better come out to play in game seven.

Oilers with complete momentum.
