Your comment doesn't really contradict mine, so I'm not sure where the "Oh please" is coming from.

That the Oilers have dived more in this series than the Panthers? Lol

 

[Iggys Dome]

Interesting to note that the Celtics also got absolutely blown out in Game 4 with a chance to clinch against Dallas. They were down by 48 at one point.

For the Oilers/Panthers series, game 5 is going to be a helluva game. The 3 day break is annoying af.

Did you actually laugh out loud there? Is this a pseudobulbar affect type of thing?

 

[robertocarlos]

Shania is good luck. I'd kidnap her and take her to Florida.

Number of oilers that have laid on the ice writhing trying to draw majors and suspensions and turning out to be completely fine within minutes: 0

 

[Bounces R Way]

didn't catch the game but 8-1??!

 

[RockTheRedDC]

I called:

Panthers over Tampa Bay in 5.
Panthers over bruins in 6.
I said panthers over Rangers in 4. ( It was 6, but very easily could have been a sweep.)

Before the series I said panthers in 5.

Tell this to the rags fans... they believe rags is the best team Cats played so far...

 

[BB79]

Yup, oilers "one" a game.

No, Oilers "ate" game 4..see what I did there?

I'll show myself out.

Broberg and Foegele both popped up immediately after the respective head shot and boarding.

 

[KevinRedkey]

IDK how anyone can blame Bob for that loss. The Panthers looked like an AHL team on most of the goals. Their defensive-zone coverage and overall effort was about as bad as I've ever seen in a playoff game.

I expect a significantly better Panthers team in game 5, and don't havemuch hope for the Oilers pushing it past 6 if it even comes to that.

 

[Mike C]

It was a great gesture by Maurice to allow Bob's backup to experience playing in an NHL finals game. Paul Maurice always has his players in mind.

I said the Oilers would be exhausted by game 4, and they are. They shot their load and now they need a nap. They will be a no-show in game 5.


A Stanley Cup-winning sieve.

Also not a bad idea to give Bob a bit of a physical and mental breather

How dare they feel their team is stronger than the other opponents of the panthers.

You made my day. Calling a 1:8 "unlucky" (because of 2 posts).

It was the confluence of the 2 posts, Nurse penalty being 5 not 2, Skinner's save on Verhaeghe and Oilers getting 3rd goal after Fla cut it to 1 and was buzzing. It's only 1 game

Neutral fan here, Panthers were flopping like f***ing crazy last game

Some of the worst I’ve seen from a team in a single game

For as good as they are they really lean into this when the games are not going as they hoped, Maurice has been coaching a long time, I’m sure he knows how to work the officials from time to time……

It sucks because they don’t need to play that way to win at all

One of the most hilarious posts I have seen in ages.....

So if I understand right, it was a confluence of posts, not getting more PP's (in a game where they would had been beeter declining the PP) and the Oilers playing good

If you understand right, it's the combination of things I mentioned that swayed the momentum and turned the game. If the 1st period would have ended tied or a 1 goal deficit, the rest of the game might have turned out differently. Maybe not. At this point, who knows and what's more who cares
Oilers kicked ass and are down 3-1 with 2 games on enemy ice.

Getting pulled mid-game is not good for any goalies psyche.

You have to remember, though, that one of Skinner's mustache hairs fell to the ice, and when McDavid skated over it after killing off the Nurse penalty, he lost the edge on his left skate resulting in him being noticeably slower throughout the game. You can just as easily say that the Panthers were lucky that it wasn't 15-1.

We can say anything we want. None of it matters. The Oilers won and down the road we go.

Craig Simpson wants the Oilers to win. You could tell from the tone of his voice that he was smiling while he was talking all through Game 4. He was feeling very pleased and satisfied at the way that game was going.

 

[kingsfanman]

Subconsciously, the Panthers wanted to lift the cup at home. This was the only safe opportunity to make that happen.

You seem very interested in the media and their happiness with the Oilers winning. Do you have a bone to pick with Sportsnet?

You have pretty much named everyone and their glee with an Oilers win..
