SCF: Florida Panthers vs Edmonton Oilers, 8pm ET, ABC, ESPN+

[CantHaveTkachev]

Oilers fans claiming Bouchard is on the same level as Makar/Hughes/Josi is and always has been hilarious. Ekholm is the reason he isn't just another Tyson Barrie.

huh? Ekholm feed him all his points?

 

[Mobiandi]

Can't wait for the Ron MacLean, dear god please stay with us/root for the country, pep talk before game 3.

Quotes an esoteric poem written by a guy in Fort McMurray in 1952 about not giving up

I didn't say it mattered, but the Panther sure as hell ain't sweeping us with Demko in net.

You heavily implied it mattered. The Panthers have not swept the Oilers yet.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Only 6 people chanting....it’s actually a hell of an achievement to make it sound so loud.

Enhance…….. Enhance………. Enhance!!!!!!

Hey a little delay and reverb goes a long way!

 

[Reality Check]

just like they were done in November right?

A bunch of scrubs aren't walking through that door this time.

Take solace that your season is still ending in June anyhow.

 

[22Brad Park]

Florida won game 1 with 18

Yep and it was pure luck.Edm had at least 6 grade A looks and Bob stoned them.

 

[Sorry]

Messier is a clown - “no, not worried at all, didn’t expect EDM to win tonight.”

I think that's the first time I've ever appreciated Subbans commentating.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Not even close.

The Oilers will win both games in Edmonton.

Mark my words.

No they won’t.
And even if they do, it won’t matter.
They still haven’t solved Bobrovsky and their top 6 is so battered, McDavid looks average and Draisaitl looks like shit. We have so many guys who shouldn’t be in the lineup and no one to replace them with.
2 teams in 50 years have overcome this and the Oilers aren’t that team.

What the heck?

 

[tbcwpg]

you understand being invisible is only good thing for defender

He was visible in a bad way for the first 10 minutes or so but recovered well.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Messier is a clown - “no, not worried at all, didn’t expect EDM to win tonight.”

We have a leadership award named after this guy?

 

[Three On Zero]

I rather be down 2-0 in the Finals then eliminated after being up 3-2 in the 2nd round...

Still clinging onto the 2nd round? Is this what happens when you haven’t won a game in the finals?

 

[josra33]

Did Bob luck his way to a Vezina nomination too?

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

huh? Ekholm feed him all his points?

He plays with McDavid and Draisaitl. Put a garbage can on the ice and spray paint it blue, it would collect points on that powerplay unit.

Matter of fact, that resembles his play tonight!

 

[Dust]

No they won’t.
And even if they do, it won’t matter.

If they do take both games, it means they've solved Bobrovsky. I fully expect them to play much better at home in game 3 in a very loud and rocking building.

Is he trying to win the "Jacob Trouba Leadership In Broadcasting" Award?

oh really? so Barrie was an 80 point defenseman? when?

 

[North Cole]

Oilers got a 5 minute and game kneeing penalty and should have got 5 and a game for a head shot. But Florida is the dirty team.

Yeah it's weird that they got the two penalties backwards.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Don’t know if it’s possible to overextend McDavid but I’m not sure playing Mcdrai-Hyman-Bouchard 25-30 minutes a night is a great strategy long term for the series.

Yeah that's not great coaching by Knoblauch. They're all gonna be done by game 5.

 

[josra33]

Oilers and their strawman responses. Never change

That’s what happens when you’re down at the end.

 

[Matty Sundin]

That’s the series.

Id say until they lose at home, I’d start giving the early series victory. Not ideal to start 0-2 though and their coaching staff obviously has some work to do on the extra day break as the cats forecheck is really been a problem.

I can’t say series over until they down 3-0 or 3-1 but it’s getting close to that I’ll admit.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I expect them to play better and still lose.

so you can't answer a question

Only twice has this been overcome in 50 years.

Series Talk: - SCF: Florida Panthers vs Edmonton Oilers (FLA Leads 2-0)

That was one of the worst officiated games I've seen in my life. Garys game managers titling in the favour of Florida was embarrassing to watch.
