Doesnt answer my question.

She posted that video specifically to get more attention.

If so, why wouldn’t she have just whipped the puppies out again?

 

[BB79]

Because although this image is super realistic, it is actually AI, and Connor McDavid is not, in fact, a goalie.

That's some creepy looking stuff...or perhaps a preview of NHL 25?

 

[LordBacon]

Really interested to see how this goes next game.

Panthers "should've" learned their lesson from last year,
while oilers literally have their backs against the wall.

Not expecting another blowout, it should be a really tight game.
Just like your mom.

The NBA finals have spoken. Sorry oilers.

 

[PaulD]

Taking a week off so the NBA finals are happening at the same time was so dumb. Luckily the games haven't been on the same day but there is no god damned reason for a week long break between conference and cup finals.

I'm watching every minute of the final no doubt........... Its not the most exciting final .....to say the least.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Is this really that outrageous? There's a chance they can win it all.

No, that's crazy. Not a chance. Plus I get to fall asleep on my couch watching at home.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

I'm watching every minute of the final no doubt........... Its not the most exciting final .....to say the least.

I've watched about 80% of the playoffs so far. The long break made me feel less interested in the finals but I've watched as much as I could of the finals. Tho I've missed or do not remember parts of each game.

 

[Dieseloil]

How hard is this ? How long has Mcdavid been an Oiler and why haven’t you done better in the years you have had him. Simple question

Team game something or other. When the team shows up game 4 happens. Tons of great players couldn’t win it by themselves. Name 1 that did.

 

[bdub24]

K, so why with the tax advantages, geographic and lifestyle advantages that Florida is always touted as offering over a place such as Edmonton, did it take you guys 25 years to win another round round in the playoffs after your first 3, which all incidentally happened in year 3 of your existence in that SFC appearance. I mean, how many NMCs and NTCs do you guys appear on? Why didn't you do better?

Not that I actually expect you to answer because you had nothing to do with it....because it is DUMB to have someone on the boards answer to or be accountable for something they have nothing to do with.

We are fans. Nothing more.

I mean the answer to your question is in the question. NHL has to compete with a TON of other things in the land of forever summer. Whereas in Edmonton……

If Edmonton wins game 5, they’ll go on to win the series. Furthermore, if they get to Bob early and get a couple past him quick, he’ll crumble again and they’ll win game 5. FLA better come out flying and play the best hockey of their lives because this series is going to go south for them real quick otherwise.

Realistically I'm expecting to congratulate Panther fans tomorrow and I've made peace with a loss.

But God damn it I wanna believe

Pretty much the same regarding the series. 4 in a row is a massive hill. Any extra games I get to watch is a bonus. If they happen to win game 5 things get a little more serious. Expecting a good game from Florida

I know it's cup/bust but the season has been a blast regardless of the outcome

I'm super curious to hear if McDavid has been plagued by injuries most of the year

 

[Mike C]

And you can't spell the word "won."

I thought it was a clever play on the fact that the Oilers have "one" win

Is this really that outrageous? There's a chance they can win it all.

That's a LOT of sushi!

I doubt it. But maybe they're going "two" win another tomorrow.

 

[Mike C]

I doubt it. But maybe they're going "two" win another tomorrow.

Nice one!!

 

[Yablo21]

Unlucky game, if Florida scores on one of those 2 posts the game plays out completely different

I guess Florida fans get to watch them win the cup at home

Oilers hit 3 posts when it was 1-1 in game 2 , shit happens.

 

[Yablo21]

Maybe watch the games... if you had you'd know Bo rovsky did not in fact give up 8 goals last night.

8 goals in his last 3 periods still, 2 in 3rd of game 3.

 

[Yablo21]

I didn't know Game 5 counted for 3 wins, is that a new rule?

It's just a prediction, you aren't nervous are you?
FTR you shouldn't be.... yet.

 

[winnipegger]

They had a 16 game winning streak in reg season I don't know why everyone was sleeping on this team.

 

[HighLifeManIsHigh]

Whoever wins game 5, wins the series

Obviously if FLA wins game 5, they win. But if they let Edmonton back into this series going back to Edmonton…. Jeez

 

[byrath]

These are evenly matched teams and each game is pretty much a coin flip, so the Panthers still have roughly a 75% chance to win even if they lose game 5
Home ice advantage and game-to-game momentum are mostly nonsense

Exactly. A long break in June. Then they try crank it up again?
Of all the play off series in 24 , would you put the final in the top 10? I wouldn't.
