Oilers or Panthers?

[bax]

Remember Conner Brown……that player that wasn’t good enough for the Leafs…….he just scored a shorty in the Stanley cup final

That was years ago lol this is just throwing shit at the wall at this point

 

[notbias]

Fair enough.

I would also argue that there are a few players on our team that should have been a healthy scratch or two just to get their attention

Ya, not sure our fanbase was happy with Brodie or Samsanov, that was $8.5 million wasted.

Although Brown's overage is for next year ($3.5 in dead cap on the books), so they have good value this year.

But if people want to see what a cap problem is, they should check out Edmonton next year. Although, I am not sure the fanbase cares because they are doing so well, but they are not in a good spot, with $10 million for 6 roster spots (5 wingers, 1 D) and Skinner/Campbell as your goaltending combo.

Edmonton is luckily in one of the easiest divisions so they should be fine, but it will be interesting to see how they handle their offseason.

 

[bax]

We have Marner,Tavares, and Matthews with a combined 3 goals in this years playoffs making approx 32 million.
Is that money well spent


That’s even worse

Brown was on an epic goal scoring drought just this season that would have had fans screaming from the rooftops lol

Ya the fans won’t care about the cap if the Oilers come back and actually win the cup

Yet here he is in the finals making a difference

Hyman just scored on a deflection off his inside knee

Now him I miss!

 

[notbias]

Hyman just scored on a deflection off his inside knee

I swear he could just be a pylon with a stick tapped to it and he would have still put up 30-40 goals this season.

It still takes skill to stand in front of the net like he does, but I've never seen someone benefit so much from the players around him.

 

[bax]

Ex Leaf fan McDavid just scored.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Interesting to see which players show up (character) and which ones don't. The beauty of hockey, somethings the nerds will never get. That's why you always have Some People downgrading these players accomplishments.

It also takes guts when that monster on the blue line his hammering shots on net

Hyman had 0 points in the first 3 games, no character for those games?

 

[Racer88]

Ex Leaf fan McDavid just scored.

Ya 3-0 oilers…….

Like I said, I agree, it takes skill to stand there, I like Hyman.

His highlight reel this year is just pucks bouncing off him/his stick.

Still takes some skill, just he has been propped up a lot by his teammates this year.

shouldn't you be celebrating the Leafs 5th consecutive stanley cup?

 

[notbias]

shouldn't you be celebrating the Leafs 5th consecutive stanley cup?

I did that after the first round, amateur.

 

[bax]

Did Tkachuk just give Skinnera high five lol

 

[notbias]

Not Skinner's fault, but no lead is safe with him in net.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Reminds me of Malgin's snipe in the preseason

 

[Racer88]

Edmonton’s big gun came to play.
Another 4 point night

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Zach Hyman (he's actually bad I swearrrrr!!!) Didn't get a point on that goal. For the martial chartists that means he didn't play a role in that goal. Never mind his work to defend the lead. Too busy celebrating the 5th consecutive expected Cup during the Dumbass Dynasty.

 

[Buds17]

Now is when things start to become heartbreaking for one of the teams (which is still likely to be Edmonton). As a fan, I'd still take any of it over being swept or eliminated in five though.

 

[Trapper]

Edmonton’s only had 5 games to figure out the Atlantic, we’ve been trying for 8 years.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I mean McDavid decided to put the team on his back at an insane level these last two games. That's an all-time great doing something incredible before our eyes.

He could turn certain defeat into a Cup if he keeps playing like this. I doubt it happens but I wouldn't bet against him as of today.

 

[Anthrax442]

Watching these games becomes so clear that Leafs are not even remotely a contender.
