OOT Scoreboard 2023-24 playoffs

If EDM can somehow break Bobrovsky, they might have a chance to pull this off.

Curious if LA wants this series to go as long as possible

 

[Bleedred]

This gives me vibes to our game 5 v LAK in 2012 tbh

Well that one was 0-0 for the longest time. I think well into the 3rd period. Then Patty scored, which was almost immediately followed by a horrible bullshit call on Clarkson (and typical Dustin Brown embellishment) and a lost faceoff led to a quick PP goal to tie it.

Then Henrique scored a late regulation winner.

 

[Davegarri]

This is a throwaway game for Florida. I'd just start hitting the Oilers a ton and wear them out physically for game 5

 

[Bleedred]

Yeah, this game is over.

Get Bob out of there. It would be pretty weird if they came back and won this game and clinched the cup without him on the ice though.

But I don't think that's something that they're gonna be coming across tonight.

 

[Alex NJD]

Enough about McDavid and Draisaitl. I'm no expert here, but I'm gonna say that if Tobias Rieder had 10-12 goals this series then the Oilers probably would not be down 3-0.

Disappointed no one else got this one. Still gotta be one of the most ridiculous things a GM has said the last few years

Whelp no sweep dang

Whelp no sweep dang

Guessing Bob just choked mentally being one win away from the big prize.

I don’t think the oilers are in the same tier as Florida.

Oops - when I originally responded back to this I thought you had typed game 4 and not game 5.

Although game 5 wasn't much different, but it wasn't a 0-0 game for nearly as long.

I think the scoring started in the 1st period in that one, but I think it was the same 1-0 Devils, 1-1, 2-1 Devils game that game 4 was.

We had to hold the 2-1 lead a lot longer than we did in game 4. I think all the scoring was done by the 2nd period of that game. We may have added an empty netter late and won 3-1.

I don't think it was really on Bob tonight. I didn't really like that Nurse goal, but the game was already probably long over before that. They pulled him after that one.

It's been 26 years since a sweep in the cup finals after a stretch of 4 finals sweeps in a row from 95-98.

Maybe we're due for one, but I don't think Edmonton is bad enough to get swept. That Montreal team in 2021 was significantly worse than this Oilers team and even they lasted 5 games. Their best players were a couple of mid 30s guys that were playing their last games of pro hockey, and they finished at the bottom of the league a year later.

Of course Edmonton aren't good without their two best players, but McDavid/Draisaitl >>>>>> well into their 30s Price and Weber.

I think it's probably over in game 5.

How significantly do you think tonight impacts Bob's conn smythe chances? After tonight believe he's at .911 for the final and a .909 overall for the playoffs. Could definitely see a mediocre showing in game 5 despite a win mean it goes to Barkov.

Good question.

Maybe slightly.

I said I think it was probably going to him unless he gets blown out a bunch in games 4-6 or something.

Overall, he hasn't had a Tim Thomas or Jonathan Quick type of Conn Smythe run or even a 2003 Brodeur run, but he's been about on par with the 2012 Marty these last two playoffs (who didn't win the cup), who probably would have gotten the Conn Smythe that year if we had won.

Sometimes they lean towards the legacy player/lifetime achievement factor with the Conn Smythe. I think we saw that Niedermayer in 2007. Probably Crosby in 2016. Some say Ovechkin in 2018, but I can't imagine Kuznetsov having gotten it over him that year.

And Bob is the most legendary player on the Panthers. Barkov is close, but he's still under 30.

It's well past time to put Ferraro out to pasture...

 

[MadDevil]

If Edmonton comes back to win this they should thank me for cursing the last two teams they've played.

 

[Bleedred]

I'm starting to think there's no chance Stolarz starts over Bob in game 5!

 

[njdevils1982]

f*** yes

 

[Ripshot 43]

Alright, who had 8-1 on their bingo card?

 

[Camille the Eel]

This game is/was very similar to the Celtics trying to sweep at Dallas last night.

Got to get one more win boys.

 

[Davegarri]

Well, at least I have something to watch on my 10 hour flight Tuesday lol

 

[Forge]

The goal differential now being 0 is kind of funny

 

[Bleedred]

Alright, who had 8-1 on their bingo card?

I had a feeling at 2-0 Oilers it was gonna be a blowout. Didn't have much of a final score in mind, just a blowout win.

That could have been 5-1.

I figured even before the game that Edmonton probably stays alive one more night.
