Pre-Game Talk: Return of the Rat - Stanley Cup Finals '24: Edmonton vs. Florida

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

2500??
It's less than 200 on Flair to get to Toronto and back and it's less than $200CAD from Toronto to Orlando return

Fly with Flair
and hope you get there!

A bazillion trillion dollars per seat per game. That is what the secondary market will be.

Yeah there are tickets on StubHub already for $35000.

The thing is a lot of hockey fans said the same thing about the Oilers last series how will Edmonton's defense handle the Stars deep lineup, I was the first one thinking that Dallas was too much for the Oilers but wow did they prove me wrong, now I will not make the same mistake again, the Oilers can handle anything the opposition throw at them, and they do have the best three hockey players in the world right now (McDavid, Drai and Bouchard) so yes Edmonton have as much chance to win as the Panthers do, too me I think it goes 7.

 

[Paralyzer]

Hope Kane makes full use of the extra days rest at those cryo chambers or something. Need him to set the tone early against the rat.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Perry will do in the Florida series exactly what he brought him on to do. Be the worm and get under the Florida players skin. He doesn’t need to score goals or set up plays to do that. Just remind Turtle boy and Bennet who they are ****ing with every now and again.

We've said that he would do this for the last three series, though, and he's been a complete passenger. I hope you're right, but it doesn't feel like he will.

Big time congrats to de Oil. As a former Bolts STH, my wish is that the boys dispatch the "stinkin panthers" in 6 games. Skinner is standing tall and the talent is peaking. Go Oil!

 

[NotASheep]

I hope Gagner plays in one game

That depends if you still have your kidneys.

Be prepared to sell your first born

Guess it's gonna be a case of more money to spend in a bar then.

Oilers in 6 is the safe pick, but I'm feeling good about choosing Oilers in 5

I hear about Florida prices being up there and it’s not surprising. Fun time and there’s a lot of money down there.

The difference between a Canadian team fan base and a team like Florida isn’t in the ticket prices. It’s every family in and around the city sitting down to watch the game and cheer together. It’s the roads with 4 total cars on it when the puck drops. It’s the flags on every 2nd house.

When their team was bad they had 300 fans in the stands. Oiler fans stuck through bad for a decade. The cup needs to come back to Canada .

Typical nucks fan. All I keep hearing from their pathetic fanbase is how Edmonton is such a dump, etc etc. For an opposing fan that lives in a province aka BC that is beautiful, you'd think their fanbase would have more to do rather than go an opponents HF poll to vote against them. Real f***ing clown energy.

 

[snag]

I hope Gagner plays in one game

Yes, I think he deserves that.

 

[CornKicker]

if im the oilers i come out in game 1 and be complete rats, engage in all the physical nonsense, punch everyone in the face. thats floridas game and they will willingly engage. then right when they think this is the MO switch up dont retaliate and let them take penalties and ride our elite PP into a stanley cup parade

 

[NotASheep]

Yes, I think he deserves that.

I want his name on the cup. My math maybe wrong, but he is well short of games played in regular season

They are making us sad in our affordable houses.

Ah sorry, thanks for the clarification!

 

[CaptainCaveman]

I know Kane has been dealing with injury and all, but I would really like him to put his stamp the Florida series. He has been quietly good, but I'm really hoping we can see some greatness after this week off.

He can put his stamp right on Tkachuk's face

You might need to place 2 on the Marketplace.

The Oilers can also petition to have his name on the cup. Marc Savard got his name on the cup in 2011 despite playing less games than Gagner did for us this year.

Regardless, if the Oilers win Gagner will get to lift the cup and get a ring from the team.
