OT: Out of town scoreboard

[RogerRoger]

Again though, no physicality. Panthers would have at least bumped McD and not allowed him to skate untouched.

That'll be a 5 min major + misconduct and a 9 games suspension.

 

[PSLguy]

Panthers need to be ready for the Oil. Follow the play book. Forecheck them, hit the body, wear them down. Oil are a 1 line team. Barkov and Reinhart can shut down McD, Drai, and the traitor Hyman. After that they really don't have much depth.

 

[RogerRoger]

ESPN was unwatchable and now Sportsnet will also be atrocious with the Edmonton PPs' making it.

I'll get ahead of it and whine now, the refs will call this ballet-hockey and we'll spend all game in the sin-bin once again.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Edmonton getting the calls. Kane with the hit but has his stick up in the face of the Stars player.

Petro finally doing us a solid

Drai has been seperated from McD, RNH is with McD I think

 

[Boothinator]

Doesnt matter imo. We are a 4 line Team and our Centers can shut down any line

As as it doesnt work they will put Draisaitl and McDavid together.

I think the boys need to focus on hitting RNH, Drai, and Bouchard, every chance they get.

McD is going to get his points, but if we make him beat us goalscoring wise we are better off, rather give up 10 goals than 20 assists, lol

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Shots are 10-1 Dallas even strength lol

 

[batting1k]

Shots are 10-1 Dallas even strength lol

Shots that turn into goals are 2-0 Edmonton lol

 

[Chaos2k7]

Shots that turn into goals are 2-0 Edmonton lol

But are they legit?

 

[Vilam]

Surprised to see Dallas just folding.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Edmonton is nothing but powerplay merchants.

But f*** are they ever amazing at it. Definitely concerns me for the finals. If they score 3 PPGs a game we might be in trouble.

 

[FrolikFan67]

If it’s the oilers, obviously you try to play Barkov and forsling against that RNH-McDavid-Hyman line. Good to have that Forsling speed to help counter mcdavid’s a bit but also concerned about Ekblad’s speed when mcdavid’s out there.

Absolutely. Finish their checks. I see Dallas not doing that tonight.

Panthers can shut down McD better than most teams. They shut down Tampa's powerplay, Pasternak, & Panarin/Mika/Kreider.

Bob need to be sharp. Edmonton shoots from all angles and accurately. Only 6 shots on goal halfway thru the game and it's 2-0.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

30 minutes left in this game, but it looks to me like we've got Edmonton.

Dallas is losing every board battle and has no legs. They can't sustain any pressure.

 

[FinlandPanther]

I haven’t seen Dallas throw one hit. Like this is the softest hockey I’ve ever seen.

This is my main concern as well. Ekblad is going to get embarassed by him.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Teams that win game 1 of the finals win 78% of the time, huge task asking the Panthers to win game 1 at home.

The only guy I see consistently hitting is Marchment but the rest of the team has passed up numerous chances to finish a check.

 

[PSLguy]

Is Dallas afraid that if they play physical the refs will call every little thing? If so, they deserve to lose.

It's one thing to be concerned about the Oil's powerplay, but to be so worried you change your game?

Oilers beat us in 5v5 goals

 

[FinlandPanther]

Oilers beat us in 5v5 goals

If we can keep their first line about equal with ours we have the better lines 2-4.

 

[PBPantherfan]

It feels like Benny might kill somebody against either of these teams. Most of them seem to be expecting stick checks and it feels like Bennett will kill somebody coming around the net with their head down like Slavin last year.

Yup. Did you see Draisaitl cut through the middle with his head down and no one hit him? Lmao. There was 3 stars on him.

 

[batting1k]

Idk, I’m not worried if it’s Edmonton. They’ve yet to play anyone that has our style so they’ve been able to get by. We’ve been disciplined lately and our PK has been good against known good PPs. They also have a goalie who’s historically been a tomato can

 

[Idiot Stick]

Prob barkov line vs mcdavid line
Lundell line vs drai line
If those two can at least somewhat slow them down plus hopefully bobby saving his best series for last i got hope.

I dont think the 4th can do much even protected but as long as they dont fold

Then its down to the 2nd line to produce the meat and potatoes

Luckily were a more disciplined team so hopefully were not on the pk all the time, cause we know last year the officiating turned 180*

Oilers pk is pretty solid so i dont see us scoring there.

Skinner is being protected hard but hopefully we have the system to break through and put some shots on net. Despite him playing better hes no vasi, swayman, nor igor
