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

[Filthy Dangles]

Lol.

That was more of an embellishment/flat out dive on Tkachuk than a rough.

Once again, don't tell me how hard it is to play inf the playoffs.

Oil have a legit gripe with the officiating thus far.

 

[BMOK33]

Are people seriously suggesting that Luostarinen dove when he got freaking kneed?

I can see that Tkachuk one, but come on

Definitely didn’t but mighta embellished a bit initially as he sort of looked back sneakily to either see who it was or if something had been called

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Pretty sure a mule kicked him in square between the eyes.

I'm going with a Bouch Bomb that went Douche Bomb on a deflection.

 

[cruisecity]

Bouchard's elbow did not touch Tkachuk. I'm sure the refs will see that during intermission and give Edmonton a make up call.

Game ejection for the knee by Foegele was a bad call.

 

[MOGlLNY]

NBA style music before the game. Bring in former NBA player for intermission analysis. ESPN sure knows the NHL audience.

Everybody loves Charles Barkley. Couldn't be more off base on this.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Charles Barkley is going to join us...because he knows so much about hockey? Lol

He loves hockey. He's expressed multiple times his favourite player is Connor McDonalds.

 

[Dessert Nights]

PK looks so tiny next to Barkley.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Panthers seemingly spent half the period on the PP but we're up by 1

I'll take it!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Huh

Oh, you think that bouchard elbow/butt end actually hit him?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Bouchard's mere f***ing existence annoys me and I don't know why. I hate everything about him. Looks like a goofy f***ing asshole.

I bet he would hate you too if he saw your face.

 

[dhfa]

Panthers lack a quarterback on the pp. Nobody plays the point all that well.

yeah their pp is pretty bad. They need to keep it 5 on 5. They were doing much better that period despite the score.

 

[ViD]

I hope Chuck will analyze the performance by Serjay Bobobka so far

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Panthers lack a quarterback on the pp. Nobody plays the point all that well.

I was told that Montour would take over for Rielly on PP1 though.

 

[eviohh26]

Charles Barkley is going to join us...because he knows so much about hockey? Lol

He is a big hockey fan. He prefers Hockey Playoffs to NBA playoffs. I don't mind him at all.

 

[Zalos]

Definitely a dumb move by Bouchard. Please realize you are in the Stanley Cup finals right now and you might never get this close to winning it all again.

 

[Benneguin]

NBA style music before the game. Bring in former NBA player for intermission analysis. ESPN sure knows the NHL audience.

Didn't they have the Dolphins RB in game one? Only thing missing is a baseball representative...

 

[Walking The Cow]

If Charles Barkley can improve his golf swing, you can too!

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Bouchard's elbow did not touch Tkachuk. I'm sure the refs will see that during intermission and give Edmonton a make up call.

Game ejection for the knee by Foegele was a bad call.

That was more intentional than any of Cooke's knees.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

That knee was career ending, comes back on the ice by 7 mijs left hahaha. It was bad hit but it was not even close career ending.

The Panthers have studied Kucherov for the past five years and now they're finally reaping the reward of this academic research.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Really good period for Florida for the most part.

EDM did muster up some good rush chances & build a bit of momentum from the long PK, plus the goal helps.

 

[PromisedLand]

50min for 1 period lmao

To be fair the puck didn't drop till about 8:30ish

 

[Matty Sundin]

Awful performance start by Oilers but the gods seem to be on their side. Now they get a period to adjust and maybe find their legs for the 2nd.

 

[oilers4life5]

?? It was a 5+20

Then Panthers should have gotten the same call. Shocking on a 2 minor when they knee us. This leagues reffing is a farce.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

I'm not an Oilers fan but what the hell are you talking about. lol

It was incidental intentional contact!!!

 

[MOGlLNY]

"NHL does nothing to market the game. Gary Bettman is useless"

*invite Charles Barkley who is the star of the most famous sports show on the planet*

"Noooo I don't want to see someone who doesn't know anything during intermission"

Yeah because hearing PK trying to be a Biz and Cherry hybrid horrible and Messier's dry as dirt analysis is so much better.
