Around the NHL - Part XLII - (Playoffs Edition)

I'm sure the Panthers will get the same treatment because their goalie is playing well.

We really didn't move our legs enough in our series to get these calls

Can't love this post enough.

In the playoffs you need to earn pps, you don't just get them

We were the team with 9 shots at this point, looks like I’m watching a replay with the Panthers being the Rangers.

Sorry Buttman, but no matter how many penalties you tell the refs to give the McDavids they still have to score on them to win.

 

[CasusBelli]

The floodgates will burst sooner or later.

Oilers are struggling with the pressure. The conditioning of the Panthers is something that is not talked about enough. They are in elite condition to keep the pace and pursuit as high as they do.

Helps your conditioning when you're never defending, too. Strength feeding into strength.

Edmonton against our 1-3-1 would’ve meant 5 breakaways against per period

We barely used that in the playoffs tho

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Bob is rightfully paid.

The speed right there was nuts. Feels like the ice is even smaller.

EDM speed almost gives me vertigo. Panthers no slouches neither.

Nurse - Ceci makes Gus - Trouba look like Pronger - MacInnis.

 

[gabevh3]

Edmonton is gonna have more pp's this game then we did the entire series lol

Well we had at least 1 pp in the series so that's pretty amazing.

It's not a mistake that they are never defending though. Cats are a very likeable team in the way that they play hockey. And if Sam Bennet was on the rangers he would be the second most popular player behind Igor (maybe laffy).

Oh, HELL NO!

 

[17futurecap]

Would be sick as an Oilers fan right now.

 

[Cmox]

Bob should sew his stick to his glove

 

[CasusBelli]

Oh, HELL NO!

I guess I used to like OEL back in the day -- when he was considered the next Karlsson. The rest of them can go fornicate themselves. Especially Matty and Sammy.

Maybe nurse must nurse an injury lol

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I'm going to assume that Bobrovsky is going to give up a backbreaking softy in the third because "he's only human" under such a large barrage of shots. There's no other way I'm told.

Oilers have played well, better than I thought they would. Florida will still wear them down as the series moves along.

 

[will1066]

I'll be very McDisappointed if Edmonton does not score a goal.

 

[CasusBelli]

A concussion, based on his defensive judgment.

Why won't Florida be worn down by the Oilers' speed. Being big and hitting is NOT the only way to win in the playoffs. It's hilarious the Florida PTSD this year. Last year when we lost to the Devils it was all about speed and transition.

 

[NYR94]

Having the Stanley Cup out on the ice for the anthem before Game 1 is new, right? I can't recall ever seeing that. Maybe I wasn't paying attention.

Because Florida is good at basically everything. They are relentless and their size and forecheck take a toll.

Through the use of therapy and medication, I have blocked out most of the pandemic years.

They look good at basically nothing in this game outside of goaltending.
