I'm still not sure the Panthers lose game 7, should they still lose tonight. And I did pick the Oilers to win in 7 before the series started.
I just never thought this was how they were getting to 7.

I mean to be fair it doesn’t really feel like they are choking as much as the oilers just seem like they are burying them.

Blissfully Mediocre
There aren't adjectives strong enough to describe how bad the Panthers' passing has been the last couple of games.

As weird as it is to say, I think if you're Maurice you can rally your team way better for a SCF G7 than say a round 1, round 2, or even ECF game 7. The hockey season is over after Monday (most likely), just go all out and play your game

I dunno this feels like the Yankees-Red Sox in 2004 where the Yankees just short-circuited in Game 7 (at home too) because they were already shell-shocked.

Florida’s looked shook since the start of game 5. I think the drubbing they took in game 4 instilled doubt and it’s been downhill since then.

I mean we were saying that about the Canes/Rags series too before Andersen imploded in game 6, lol. Hockey is a very weird sport with momentum

I wasn't lol...I never thought those f***faces would choke away four straight cause their goalie was too good for it and the Canes' goalies were too shitty to keep that up for four straight.

Just so many unforced errors by Florida. It's just bad play. They are a mess upstairs right now.
*edit*
right after I post that, a braindead icing by Florida

It is possible for a team to step up in front of its goalie...exhibit A the Oilers.

lol that is an insane stat. McDavid has more 3+ point playoff games than he does 0 point ones.

Whoever made the Panthers (post) GDT must really think it's over. I haven't read the thread but I keep seeing it on the latest posts sidebar cause I guess it's being bumped every second.
The title of the thread is
Lmao worst collapse in NHL history
And I first noticed that after the 2nd period.

Bouchard having the most assists by a d-man in playoff history is wild shit
It helps when you’re playing with this generation’s version of Gretzky and Kurri.
Maybe Paul Coffey wouldn’t have been as good elsewhere.

That's why I'm stunned it wasn't Coffey, especially with him being a HOF offensive defenseman too!
Edmonton started finishing the chances that Bobrovsky was saving in game 1. And concomitantly the Panthers can’t buy a bounce. They shoot the puck into a screen and it hits Skinner or bounces wide.
I think the whole thing could shift if they got the first goal in a game. They need to play with the lead again.

That's why I said, people can't underestimate an Oilers cup win, no matter how mediocre the majority of their roster is. I said after they were eliminated last year that I think they're winning one of the next 3 cups, unless those guys leave before 3 years for whatever reason. I can't see that happening at all now, win or lose this round.
Of course I definitely had them dead after game 3. I didn't think it would be a sweep, but it looked like the Panthers were probably gonna win in 5.
Even if the Panthers win, I still maintain the Oilers win one of the next 2 cups. They might still win one of the next 2 cups, even if they win this year.
And they'll probably have a better GM after this year than Ken Holland, so that should help. I'm not too psyched about Holland getting yet another ring as GM.

Sing us a song, you're the Schiano man
I am so enjoying this meltdown, and the fact that their fans are suffering over this.
f*** the Panthers

Speaking of the Panther fans, I'd love to see what happens if it's a 3-2 Oilers lead with a minute or so remaining, do they head for the exits a la Heat fans when the Spurs had them down in Game 6 2011 or whatever year that was?

I'll root for McJesus to win every cup that we don't win regardless of who is the GM in Edmonton. One, it makes Edmonton East and his SN look horrible (lol) and two, it gives the greatest player of a generation cups that he deserves. We can't have McJesus being the Mike Trout of hockey.
