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

Skinner looks derpy and shaky, they need to get more shots on him. Just flailing everywhere but the shots aren't on goal.

Skinner seems like he’s flailing and not really following the puck. Panthers need to hit the damn net.

Edit…Mossey beat me to it

This could be a copy paste from the entire Canucks series.

 

[Bourdon]

Big for Edmonton to respond so quickly.

If only we had that sort of response in 2011 G7.

We weren’t good enough or mentally resilient enough to win with that group. And I think we all need to be okay with that, looking back.

Oilers get f***ing Janmark scoring on breakaways. That's the difference.

Man the 2011 Canucks would steamroll both of these teams. The cup finals ain’t what they used to be

*when healthy

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Yep. They’ve relied on hemming teams in on the forecheck and aggression from the blueline in. But they’ve constantly left themselves open to the odd man rush counter. Somehow guys like Janmark and Brown have suddenly channeled Bure.

I'm assuming that style of gameplay isn't physically sustainable, for the Brown and Janmark points. But they are absolutely thriving as well, to their credit.

Nobody got to Skinner like we did - which made our inability to get the puck to the net in Games 6 and 7 even more infuriating.

If I'm coach I go in during intermission and mandate once to get in the O-zone and are settled, shoot everything.

Mikheyev could never.

Skinner looks the exact same every time we watch him. Horrible tracking and reaction to shots, but Oilers do a good job of collapsing and blocking so much that his job is easy

Misinterpretation of what happened.

And the Panthers blueline does a horrible job of changing up angles to get the shot through.

To be fair when edmonton is turtling well all postseason everything has been just center of mass and its made him a lot more calm and loose.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Mikheyev could never.

Literally had a partial break in Game 7, had the move, beat the goalie, and jammed it into post/side of the net instead. Ass.

I have literally never seen a player play so well everywhere but once they hit the O-zone became a massive liability.

 

[JT Milker]

Sam Bennett seems to spend the entire game trying to take charging penalties.

[Bonham]

Hit the f***ing net.

Here's hoping he's gone this summer, absolutely terrible

Thing is, they can't shoot everything. They have to work the angles if the Oilers are cutting off the middle. Make them work, make skinner work. Turtle defence also produces more traffic, it's harder to fight through the screens.

Everyone says shoot all the time but look at us vs nashville, record number of shot attempts but basically no offence generated because it plays into the shot blocking.

Having said that you need at least 24 shots a game. You just have to make sure most of those are quality shots.

 

[Peen]

Montour prove to me that I am right about how good you are man. Put the team on your back. Win the game.

 

[SillyRabbit]

I'm so pissed they gave up that breakaway. That's what the Oilers have been doing to them for 3 straight games and they still have no game plan to stop it.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Feel like Florida should have taken a run at Guentzel and Tanev. Florida's blueline is so mid.
