Not to mention Ekblad and Montour suck, and Forsling absolutely fell off a cliff after game 4. Us trying to make OEL the savior on the blue line is a total recipe for disaster.

Bennett is for sure a step slower and listless out there. One goal given up due to this. Barkov is willing it. I hope Benny can find a way. If they lose this is what will sting the most for me-those two pure GOON knee and elbow hits completely waved off by the refs/league.
Lots of psychiatrists unless you know the team doctor it’s just silly speculation.
The fact is we are not built to come back from behind it’s happens but it’s not our MO.
We are getting caught with too many defenseman in our zone and the speed of the Oilers are built to get on breakaways.
Our offensive is out of sync and Po Mo has to work on this quickly or it’s just going to be rinse and repeat.

This was the turning point. They should’ve killed Draisaitl for that. Instead they let him skate around for fear of getting a penalty. That’s on Maurice.

Barkov has been our best player this series. He’s doing his job
There’s 16 passengers right now and Barkov and Rodrigues (facepalm) can’t do it all

Forsling can’t cover for Ekblad. It’s too much. I know people want to say Ekblad has been fine but he is god awful.

I don't know. I think OEL has a calming effect. Forsling is feeling the pressure more than anyone on the team it seems, but can you blame him? Maybe Bob can save them.
Ekblad can't skate anymore. Forsling is overwhelmed. Bob watches the shitshow coming towards him.

I think we goofed up a chance at starting stolarz last game. Hes good enough to win a playoff game and it could've also jolted the team with some energy. It would also have the added benefit of shaking bob awake should we lose game 6, and add a whole new dynamic to game 7. Feels awful going out this way. Feels even worse the coaching did nothing to try to avoid it

We agree that Ekblad blows. But Forsling uncharacteristically has been failing at his assignments. If that’s because he is trying to cover for Ekblad then he needs to just control what he can and try to let Bob sort out the one guy Ekblad missed instead of missing both his and Ekblads assignment.

The 4th line should see almost no time in game 7. And Maurice seriously needs to quit sending them out there after TV timeouts. That shit infuriates me to no end. Send one of your top 3 lines out there after a TV timeout. No reason for the 4th line to get that shift.
I think a huge issue for Forsling is the Oilers are coming with so much speed. They’re just as fast as him and trying to cover Ekblad falling at center ice for no reason f***s up everything.

Imagine going from playing to win a Stanley Cup to playing to not be known as the biggest choke job in 80 years

Is that place still there? Stopped by many years ago with some friends on our way back from visiting a friend at FIU. I'm not much of a strip club guy, but college age and alcohol can change things. I do recall the women being beautiful, so good for the Panthers lol.
Otherwise wasn't here trolling, was reading the comments to get a read on what fans are seeing/thinking. I'm actually rooting hard for the Panthers. I will always hate the Oilers for stopping the Isles from winning 5 in a row. I also find it funny to stop the Cup from "going home" and a Canadian team winning, even better it's a team in Florida.
Won't be clogging up your guys thread being an outsider, but really want you guys to win Monday and hoping the team from the first 3 games shows up again. I like seeing guys like Barkov and Ekblad, who've been with a team they started with so long, being rewarded for that. I also enjoy seeing fans in markets that people up north hate succeed.
Good luck and go Panthers!

As much as ppl want to conjecture about the next lineup combination that'll finally unlock this team and get them back on track, the bottom line is that there's no magically line combo that'll make these guys playing like their lives are at stake. imo they've collectively allowed this to happen because it's not just one or two dudes that are failing to deliver but it's the entire team.
It's funny that the upcoming, one game will decide whether this group of players, coaching staff, maybe even Zito will be remembered as a bunch of losers or winners.

Absolutely true that we should have made Craisaitl pay. In fact, game plan for game 6 should have been to take out their top guy(s).
But Barkov has been dominant. It’s the supporting cast who’s not, with very few exceptions.
Anyone getting any hesitation to sign Reinhart? I like the guy but he is slow as f*** and has been getting bullied on the boards.

They were dominant in the 3rd period of Game 5. Still dumbfounded how they came out so flat yet again last night and didn't carry over their game from the 3rd period of Game 5. Last night was an embarrassment.

Honestly with the way this team has played the last 3 games. Let everyone walk.

Idk, man.
The oilers are scoring the same goal on repeat. They're not beating Bob on cheap goals. They're getting odd man rushes and scoring on empty nets. We could have prime Hasek and still lose.
The team needs to adjust.
I mean, the Oilers are getting leads and sitting on them. It's easy to look good when the other team has enough goals.
I agree. I’d literally keep Forsling, Barkov, Tkachuk, Bennett, Rodrigues (sadly), and Carter (to a lesser extent Becuase he has stunk). Everyone else can f*** off.
I totally agree. They had a game plus to take care of business. Now it's game 7, it's too late.

It’ll remind Ekblad of the time he almost choked in the hot dog eating contest.
