NHL: Around the League 52

[Backyard Hockey]

Terrible play by Elbad. Bob had to have that one

 

[BobbyJet]

3-1 ... but no lead is safe with Oilers leaky defensive play.

Tarasenko with a goal of all people

Um... he scored last game as well.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I’m predicting FL ties it in the 3rd and wins in OT

 

[Backyard Hockey]

looking a lot like the nba finals right now

looking a lot like the nba finals right now

Don't even watch the NBA and this looks like the same script.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Edm can’t overcome a 3 game deficit. But notably that Bob has give up 7 goals in the last 2 periods and 5 minutes

 

[Hattrick Kane]

f***ing great. Now I’m going to have to sit through 3 days of the Canadian media claiming how the oilers are coming back and how the Panthers don’t deserve to be here.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Sad to see tonight's result

I was hoping this would end and NHL offseason could begin

 

[ndgt10]

Oilers are right back in this series

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Oilers are right back in this series

Lol no.

 

[Wally1112pac]

Oilers are right back in this series

...if they win 2 more games.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Panthers just following up on the Celtics’ example for an eventual gentleman’s sweep at home.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Whopping

 

[ytsejam]

My forecast says comeback unlikely.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

This might be crazy trivia finals. Florida could win the cup 4 games to 1 but both teams score the same number of goals for the series

Panthers just following up on the Celtics’ example for an eventual gentleman’s sweep at home.

I’m sure there was a secret lunch meeting yesterday with Gary Bettman and Adam Silver

Most entertaining part of tonight was following the Conn Smythe betting odds. Bob goes from a massive favorite to a slight dog to Barkov.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

When someone is betting on who they think a group of hockey writers think was the best, they might have a gambling problem.

The Panthers did not want to win the cup in Edmonton, they want to win it all at home. I believe they just threw this game away. The Panthers will be a far different team at home in the 5th game.

[ChiHawks10]

To be fair, I wouldn't want to win it there, either.

To win the Cup up there... and to celebrate you have to get on a plane and fly like 10 hours overnight and get home at noon the next day to celebrate with your fans in your city?

Obviously I don't think they purposely threw the game. I just understand the joke of why they would want to throw the game.

Yes, Bob had the Conn Smythe seemingly locked up until last night. I figure he will still win it if he has a bounce back game and a Panther win on Tuesday (which I expect though I will be rooting for Oilers).

I'm gonna have to go ahead and...disagree with you there.

 

[Pez68]

I'm gonna have to go ahead and...disagree with you there.

First step is admitting you have a problem.

 

[hawksrule]

People bet on MVP, Cy Young, rookie of the year, etc. Voting on individual awards isn’t uncommon. Conn Smythe is debated from the moment playoffs begin.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Right, and it's about understanding the market. Bob was extremely overvalued after game 1.

First step is admitting you have a problem.

First step is minding your own f***ing business about things you don't understand.
