Around the NHL: Panthers win. Onto the business season!

2 whole shots on goal? Talk about not showing up…

Have we ever seen a choke like this in any sport in our lifetimes?

With so many former Sabres on the roster.....seems inevitable that the Panthers would inherit our inability to complete even the simplest of passes

I was thinking today, the Panthers took so many Sabres. Surely with those players we could have also had the same success as Florida.

But now you see it was just a slow poison we gave them Like a joke that takes 30 minutes to have a punchline

Okposo going to say he could feel something just wasn't the same this series going back to game 2

 

[Beerz]

Barkov gotta bury that

 

[oldgoalie]

Barkov gotta bury that

Corners were open and he went 5 hole.

Gotta love ESPN graphics. "Oilers This Postseason: 5-time Stanley Cup Champions"

Sabres can't even get one and the Oilers get 5 in one postseason.

And that's game. Bob can't bail them out.

 

[oldgoalie]

Unreal. Florida is so broken…

 

[Dingo44]

I've never seen a team just give up being a game away from the Stanley Cup.

 

[DapperCam]

Panthers need a lucky bounce or something. Nothing is going right for them.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

turned into a pretty fun series

Seriously! Choking like no team I’ve seen before.

 

[jd1970]

Draisaitl deserves the Conn Smythe.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Games 1-3: Bob plays outstanding, gives the Panthers a chance to get into the game and get the lead.

Games 4-6: Bob is mortal, Panthers go down and it's over.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Ekblad really busted his ass getting back on that Hyman goal, might not have made a difference but skate your ass off instead of loafing

'eff 'em. I wanted to see Sam win one, but honestly at this point, let Canada get a Cup for a change.

 

[oldgoalie]

Draisaitl deserves the Conn Smythe.

Huh?

 

[jd1970]

On the other hand, why is there still hockey in late June?
They may have hit the wall.

 

[old kummelweck]

I seem to remember bobrovsky puttering out for last year's finals as well.

 

[jd1970]

Huh?

Oilers have dominated since the elbow.

 

[oldgoalie]

Oilers have dominated since the elbow.

Ah. I see what you did there.

 

[kirby11]

I didn’t have a chance to see game 4 at all, but based on the score, did Florida go into that one assuming Edmonton would roll over and give up?

I’d also seriously consider a goalie switch in the third just to try and wake them up

 

[jd1970]

Ah. I see what you did there.

70s hockey!

 

[Old Navy Goat]

If Gus shows up early I won't mind turning this game off for the bars' Macro run, need toiletries

 

[DapperCam]

Draisaitl deserves the Conn Smythe.

Elbowing the other teams best player in the head seems to be a legitimate strategy. Not sure why the Panthers haven't tried this. Maybe they can't catch McDavid because he's too fast.
