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

[NotASheep]

I have only one problem with the knee on knee. That quick look he gave when he was not sure of the refs were going to call it. It was not as bad as the player let on--Stupid by the oiler player but panther player sold it hard

I'd rather hang with Shaq than that weasel Bettman myself

But as a weasel lawyer he's only ruined the NHL. So nothing important.

Shaq is probably more fun but Bettman does have a big brian.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

These playoff GDTs never disappoint.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Is that not what Luostarinen did?

Bennett led with the shoulder & Bouchard tripped over his leg.

Foegele led with the knee & Loustarainen couldn't avoid it.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

I like jokes and bantz, but,

What the f*** does this even mean.

My guess is he's joking about the crime rate in Edmonton.

 

[suddeninterest]

Surprised to see Luostarinen back so soon after suffering that GSW. I guess they have really experienced trauma teams in Miami though.

 

[Kranix]

I would hope that if someone attempted a filthy, scum-eating play like Foegle did, that Luostereinin would feign injury if he wasn't actually hurt. This is the finals, try to get the penalty call.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

All of the NHL greats are terrible pundits, except for Hank obviously

Yeah, Hank, unlike most,shuts up when he doesn't have anything to say and tells us about goaltending plays, which I appreciate more than Biz's hot takes about NHL goaltending. If Biz were honest, he'd let Hank tell him how to pass.

For sure he did, problem is he moved his leg pretty bad, it was bad on both players fault. At the end of the day you have to call it, but bennet should of been called the same. Only problem is he sold the injury enough.

 

[SavoieSeason]

Luostadiver came back awful quick

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

What does any of this even mean?

Be kind, per the last thread, homie apparently just started watching hockey at age 40.

He was referring to the knee on knee by Florida right after the five minute call.

Not hard to figure out.

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

No, but i'm sure you are, being a florida fan and all.

Look at homie's reg date.

If anyone is allowed to talk trash, it's someone who's been a Florida fan for 20+ years, lmao.

 

[Kingsfan1]

This game may end with both teams only having 4 healthy D on the bench each... 3 D injuries in period 1 alone. They all came back but I'm not sure how healthy they are.

Who are the 3 D that got injured . I saw Ekblad only

Bennett led with the shoulder & Bouchard tripped over his leg.

Foegele led with the knee & Loustarainen couldn't avoid it.

They’re almost identical hits

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Kyle Bukaskis looks 13 and also 30

Shaq is probably more fun but Bettman does have a big brian.

Who's Brian?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Luostadiver came back awful quick

Doesn’t mean it wasn’t a penalty.

And he was lucky.

 

[ZDH]

Can we just all agree that both teams are mid?

 

[Scema12]

Nurse

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Slenderman lol

Old lady bod. Can't believe he used to be considered a physical player.

 

[NotASheep]

For sure he did, problem is he moved his leg pretty bad, it was bad on both players fault. At the end of the day you have to call it, but bennet should of been called the same. Only problem is he sold the injury enough.

%1000 agree--the panther player did hot have to sell it as much as he did

 

[Ducks DVM]

Id prefer replacing Mess. The guy is a cardboard cutout

 

[Tryamw]

Basketball is their top sport. They're going to use all the other sports to market it.

But Barkley isn't paid by ESPN.

 

[SharksCyclops]

I don't know who you are directing this question at, I never said it had to be. I was merely responding to the "seriously injured" comment. Seriously injured would be not returning to the game.

Didn't Tkachuk play with a broken sternum during last years Final? Seriously injured doesn't necessarily mean you don't play. Joe Pavelski had a ruptured appendage when he made the Final with the Sharks. Draisaitl was obviously seriously injured playing last years playoffs by the time they got knocked out.

Most of us are overweight, out of shape, know-it-all's who assume if they are on the ice that there isn't any possibility they could be playing hurt, or even injured.

Not really trying to argue any other point you are making, cause I wasn't following, but I had to interject because so many people undermine the actual shit these athletes go through, even when they are actually on the ice.

Kyle Bukaskis looks 13 and also 30

He looks like a young boy melting.
