Verhaghe had an excellent defensive shift just having his stick in proper position on that last shift.

 

[Justin11]

Bouchard has been terrible.

Bobrovsky has been unbelievably good.

Yeah but he isn't getting paid in the post season so it could be worse.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

true story, I'm watching at a bar and a guy sits down next to me and says he has parlay bet going:

- Chiefs win Super Bowl
- UConn wins NCAA Men's
- Oilers win Cup
- Celtics win NBA championship

says he made that bet in January, says he bet $50 and if it hits it pays $8000

They will use 20 of those 50 bucks to show us more betting adds.

IDK, he's got a decent shot it'll pay out!

Tkachuk 13 min ice time is pretty low for a star player no?

Oilers kill off their 30th consecutive pk.

They are getting pretty close to the Habs' 32 in 2021. Lasted almost 14 full games (Since Stamkos scored a PP goal with less than 2 minutes to go in Game 1).

I want to say the result was predictable but I never expected it to be this bad. Oilers got a weak goalie and a weak defense and they are getting exposed. There's just so much that a elite offense can do. They are trying to pull a 2016-2017 Pittsburgh Penguins but at least Matt Murray was great during their runs.

It's really unfortunate because they should be much better if they had competent management.

Huge game by Bobrovsky, he was phenomenal tonight and the real difference maker. Panthers are such a well coached team.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

ENG. 3-0 Panthers win.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Bouchard was sleeping in those final 2 minutes

Stand still for 2 seconds then try the most telegraphed wrist shot that gets blocked and sent back your way for the ENG

Elite PP QB!!!

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Bob stole that one

Might of been Edmontons big chance.

Need waaaay more from Drai if they want a long series

no one's calling Bouchard an elite PP QB

As Gord Miller said yesterday, he’s McDavid’s BFF, and Edm was going to keep McDavid happy

Well, usually it's Florida outshooting their opponents 2-1, but Edmonton outshoots them 33-18 with some really good scoring chances, but Bobrovsky shut them down.

Florida was much better in the 3rd period. They controlled the puck/play a lot.

Florida's first SCF winning game. They were swept by both Colorado and Vegas previous finals.

Florida played much better in the 3rd and now a lot of pressure on the Oilers not go down to 2-0.

Florida won game 3 last year against Vegas

 

[Redux91]

34 save shutout to take the outright Conn Smythe lead damn

 

[red devil]

Bobrovsky with the 1st shutout in game 1 in the final since Luongo

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

Game 1 is always a wildcard, we’ll see where things stand a bit better at the end of game 2. Oilers have adjusted well the last 2 rounds too. With that being said, I’m more than fine with tonight’s outcome.

I wouldn’t blame the game on Skinner, but the rate he gives up a goal on the first shot of the game is something I’ve never seen before. Not even when goalies wore 50 pound Cooper pads on each leg.

 

[Gravity]

Florida will not be beat. To come to the final last year and lose; their hunger must be enormous.

Not here lol. Main boards is a whole other beast tho

Exactly. Not only are they the better team, but they're also hungrier so I don't see any way they lose it unless they beat themselves.

4 of 17 this post season

Amazing Edmonton is in the finals when goalie has you chasing early

 

[HuGort]

Who's the projected 10th overall pick in this draft?

Other than maybe Marner I don't see anything else of value on the Leafs, that they would be willing to trade, to get the 10th pick in this draft.

I also can't see the Devils trading for Marner and then likely having to pay him upwards of 12m longterm. That would throw their salary structure completely out of whack going forward. Maybe if they could unload Meier and the remaining 7 years and 8.8m caphit in the deal along with the 10th pick it could work for them but I can't see the Leafs wanting to take that Meier contract on and I don't blame them.

Probably first pairing D. Draft is stacked on #1 Defensemen. Leafs system is thin.

Leafs probably use caproom to sign defense and goalie
