They are? Maybe a few are. All sports teams have crazy ass fans.

At least we know you won't be cheering for them.

Brief playoff history between Anaheim/Vegas and Edmonton. Not quite rivals but I'd rather see the Panthers win. As much as I'll admit the Oil are being well coached and elevating their defensive systems when it matters I'd rather see a team that has never won over a team that needed to luck out and get the best player in hockey to get where they are.

I'd have cheered for the Panthers over Dallas as it is.

Man if the Canucks had Demko they could be in this spot going to the final right now.... Not that EDM didn't play well against us but.. ugh.

Anyways congrats to EDM they earned this series. Even tonight Dallas had the puck but EDM defended so well. Its the big difference in their team this year.

Will be an interesting final. Florida will be favoured but the Oilers special teams could be the advantage they need to pull it off. So far only 1 of 3 teams they've faced have actually scored a PP goal which is incredible.

 

[Satan'sIsland81]

Congrats to the Oil. They were better. They had a lot to do with Dallas looking tired.

They looked tired? They outshot them 35-10. The Oilers couldnt even get the puck out of their own zone for 85% of the game.

 

[Oilslick941611]

NOt sure I'd be confident if I were an Oiler's fan, but they're getting it done and that's all that counts. Weird series

LOL

ok

 

[Winston Wolf]

Heiskanen is great and all, but after the lack of urgency on the final two rushes of the game, can we please never mention his name with Makar ever again?

 

[Lshap]

How dothe other Canadian fanbases feel?

As a Habs fan, I have no issues with the Western Canadian teams. I'll be cheering for Edmonton. Plus, I get to cheer with my oldest friend, who's coming from Edmonton to Montreal next week!

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

oilers get bailed out for the first time by goaltending in existence and everyone’s really gonna talk shit

Oilers have had some great goaltenders in the past lol

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I'm ashamed for you. Act like you've won it before.

Panthers lucked out when they got Tkachuk.

If yesterday was tomorrow today would be yesterday

That was honestly one of the most embarrassing performances by a team winning to go to the cup finals I have ever seen. Edmonton is the essence of mediocrity. They have three or four great players and the rest is nothing special. Outshot 35-10. Florida honestly should win in 5. Is it guaranteed? No, but I would be shocked if Florida does not win this in 5 or at most 6.

The amount of salty tears coming out in this thread is hilarious! Edmonton beat Dallas handily and the haters are only picking out this last game as some sort of justification to shit on the team because they are upset they were wrong about this series.

Edmonton is not going to get 10 shots in every game against Florida, jesus christ! They are going to roll on all cylinders.

 

[robertocarlos]

Hanging out with Biebs would be cool.

 

[ozzie]

Edmonton was a very different team the last 2 games, looked more like the Islanders of the 80's than the high flying offensive Oilers. Impressive, 2 curses to break the Perry curse and the Canadian winnewr curse.

Yea Heiskannen doesn't take control like Makar does and push the defense back.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

If yesterday was tomorrow today would be yesterday

I'm allowed to be a fan of my team. Was the next paragraph of complements not enough for you?

 

[Cup or Bust]

The Oilers didn't play a great game but they kept most of the Dallas shots from the outside and not many second chances. Dallas gave everything they had, but the Oilers overall were the better team. 4 wins left.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Heiskanen I have yet to ever look at as anywhere near the level of Makar. The guys had 1 great season. I don't even think he's phenomenal defensively. I really don't see what others see in him.

 

[Kcb12345]

Heiskanen is great and all, but after the lack of urgency on the final two rushes of the game, can we please never mention his name with Makar ever again?

Didn't think this even needed to be said but he clearly had nothing left in the tank. Over 30 minutes played this game, and that was probably what a 3 minute shift? He did what he could and the play never stopped so he never got that timeout break he needed.

 

[D Wakaluk]

The guy played over 30mins. Give it a rest

Florida is a much better, more consistent, more complete team than Dallas. I honestly think Florida is going to physically manhandle the Oilers.

Was just slimming down the crying

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

*in my existence

 

[Ghost of Murph]

It's great to have a Canadian team in the finals again (in a non-COVID year). This will be a fun series with a ton of hype given that McDavid is in it. Both teams fully deserve to be there and are playing excellent hockey.

 

[Bizzare]

Lmao this guy crying in the crowd… what the hell.

 

[logan5]

Ok that guy crying needs to get a life. They didn't win the cup.
