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

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Just gross. Leave the guy alone.

Bruuttttaaaaal.

Just gross. Leave the guy alone.

That's embarassing to watch, how do people lack such basic human decency?

We're gonna need him against Florida for sure. I just dont know who comes out unless Kane is injured.

Perry looked verrry slow the last two games of the series. I'd wager that's who you swap him with.

 

[Hollywood55]

Everybody is picking the Panthers....got them right where we want them.

Coming into enemy territory here but just wanted to say; listening to Jack Micheals on Vancouver Radio today, he might be the best analyst of the Edmonton media (that I've heard) which is saying something given he's a play-by-play guy.

All his analysis was great but in particular he made a point about the Oilers PK being the biggest story for EDM in the playoffs, and being something that sucked the life out of Vancouver (I agree), and they carried it on against Dallas. Its the key to me for Edmonton in this final. If they shutout Florida like they did Dallas/LA (just about VAN too), they are walking away with the cup.

I know Oilers fans have been pumping his tires for awhile, you guys are right, respect.

I just have to say, the Rangers may be the biggest group of p***yes to ever lace em up for a conference finals.

He is a great analyst, can hear more of his analyst work on Oilers Now YouTube channel if you’re interested. He’s always pretty bang on. As a PBP guy he’s really accurate too and can provide good insights into the game (when he’s not talking about some reference).

In regards to the Oilers PK. I don’t think they’ll have an issue with this Cats PP. it’s 100% beatable.

@Took a pill in Sbisa k I think Fansfirst is a porn site.

Oh wait. Its a Canadian version of Ticketmaster without the insane fees - I think.

Sounds like either way someone's getting f*cked

UPDATE to my road to Edmonton:

Ticketmaster's ticket drop tomorrow says 11am pre-sale and 12pm for general public.

Does anyone know what is required for pre-sale access?

From what I've gathered there's been passwords for these short pre sales, if I can find one I'll drop you a DM

5mins 4ftg has clarified they're unique codes 1 per ST so pretty much zero chance any will be around

Planning to call in sick next week for a cheeky flight up to the motherland. I work a 4-on-4-off rotation at my brewery. So effectively a 12-day window that i can fit in games 3&4. If i can get a ticket to at least one of the games I'm booking my flights!

Might have to fork the $950 from re-sale site but I realllly don't want to have to haha

 

[TheNumber4]

Hard forechecks are cool and all. But I’d rather have generational talent.

Bruuttttaaaaal.

Wow. This actually really bothers me

 

[foshizzle]

Time to invest in some security guards Connor.

I’m hoping this is not the norm.

 

[foshizzle]

Frank owns these clowns and they spew as much copium as CP (they probably post there too)

Though they do admit (through gritted teeth), that the Oilers deserve to be in the Finals.

Pinder is an idiot.

 

[The Panther]

I honestly have no opinion about The Panthers.... I'm vaguely aware that they exist.

At this point, I fully trust Kris Knoblauch. He has shown some basketball-sized clackers already with the line-up / line changes he has made, and he always seems to get it right. Obviously, the up-and-down PK has landed in elite territory (for now).

I worry less about the Oilers beating themselves now. I feel pretty confident that we're going to get their best, and that the club won't be outcoached. If they lose, they lose... But I hope they win.

40 years since 1984!

By the way, does anyone know why there are now 78 days between the Conference Final and the Final? Obviously, the NHL is using the massive gap to make money, but how...? (Gambling, presumably?)

Just gross. Leave the guy alone.

Ignorant losers.

Incredible, welcome back.

P

Nothing to laugh at really. He is that good. Odds are very high that whatever line he plays the most won't be really productive. That is why having McDrai on seperate lines helps

I'm sure he will be on for maybe a couple, but he'll be extreme effective in the series. He's a beast

No it is…. No one shuts down 97 for long hrs too 3 player ever. He’s that good

Florida is being monumentally overrated.

Just like Dallas

 

[elmeroil]

They have a hard time seeing the beauty from their $3,000/month 500 square foot basement suite. So bitter it is!

Jokes on them too because Doug and Carrie pay your rent!

Well that's disgusting
