The fourth win is always the hardest to get.

 

[mattihp]

He has awoken.. Maybe the best game of the series. We got ourselves a treat!

And another thing:

Thanks to Edmonton, I hope to never read that crap about a team "Losing on purpose to win at home". Astounding that some people actually believed being up 3-0 gave a team licence to treat the SCF as their own private party. Hopefully, that fairy tale has been put to bed and those conspiracy-lovers have figured out how hockey works.

Only a person who does not understand hockey is the greatest sport there is would say such a thing. The amount of skill on the worst teams in the NHL is astonishing. And these two teams are the opposite of that.

 

[Lshap]

Do people really say this seriously? I've only ever seen people joking about it.

I also thought they were joking. Then I found out a few were serious... including my former brother-in-law. Yes, that's why I divorced my wife. Okay, maybe not... but it does bug me.

So these 2 teams have no skill then?

No, they are the opposite of the worst teams

 

[Voight]

I like Florida's chances now that Tkachuk has woken up.

here's one

NBA finals are over, can we go to a normal every other day schedule please?

The schedule isn't too off base given the travel distance. People forget there's travel days involved, especially when the teams are almost at opposite ends of the continent.

 

[PaulD]

Panther powerplay Montour bone headed give away for Oiler breakaway. 1-0.

Bouchard gets it at point , winds up Reinhardt flamingos and moves out of way instead of blocking shot. 2-0.

Game over

 

[janesy12]

So Dumb that game 7 will be on a Monday. I'm good with this Friday game, but game 7 should have been Sunday. Or......make game 6 Thursday and 7 Saturday. Monday is lame for game 7.

Best sport, worst league.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

No, they are the opposite of the worst teams

And you said the worst teams have astonishing skill. So the opposite of the worst teams must have no skill at all.

It's a hot take, but you know what, I agree. I've been a McDavid hater from day one. The guy is a 4th liner. Does he have a little bit of speed? Sure. So did Rico Fata. And don't even get me started on Barfov. Unreal this guy is even playing in the league. He's just a tall freak who looks like hes skating with rentals.

 

[Czechboy]

On Saturday I was thrilled I got to see my Oil one last time. Now I get them on Friday too!

I thought it'd be over by now so we are on found money at this point.

McD should get Smythe. 8 points in last 2 games is obscene.

You should be feeling pretty good right now. Momentum is in the Oilers favor and get it to game 7 anything can happen.

How selfish of you Come on Oilers we got shit to do

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Bob2024 = markstrom2022?

 

[Theodore450]

Mcdavid has always been head and shoulders above the 2nd best player in the league.
There was a point last year where lunatic analysis had Austin over Conner .

 

[Prominence Problem]

We enter game 6, where 377 people think the Panthers will win.

 

[AvroArrow]

McDavid is on a mission right now, originally voted Panthers but I think Oilers in 7. Bob looks rattled and McDavid is literally godlike right now.

 

[Zerotonine]

Sure be nice of Draisaitl would wake the fk up. Not sure what's going on with him but man he has looked bad.

Hell he looked better on one leg the previous playoffs then he does now ffs

 

[winnipegger]

Really don't like the extra day between games. Should be one night off and back at it.

 

[OilWagon]

Sure be nice of Draisaitl would wake the fk up. Not sure what's going on with him but man he has looked bad.

Word is he's playing through multiple injuries. Elliot Friedman speculated one of the injuries is quite serious.

I don't watch a ton of Oilers games. But, I have watched more than a few this playoff season. Drai looks slow physically and mentally. Like he can't even process the game at a high rate.

He must be injured based on what everyone says he is like.

But, if Drai is not much more than this....someone is going to massively overpay this guy.

He’s playing with finger splints and while unconfirmed I’ve heard rumour of broken ribs

 

[PaulD]

Reinhart looks so out of place

He's been trash.
Flamingo on the Bouchard shot for Oils second goal. Could have easily blocked it and got out of rhe way while raising one leg. Nobody wins a cup with that type of player on their first line.
Maurice getting out coached by the rookie

Explains why he looks incredibly slow. Tough to breath with broken ribs.

 

[PaulD]

I don't doubt any if thst. He's been playing injured since early in the Stars series

His whole playoff run has been obscene. Unless Bob puts on a 50 save shutout to clinch it next game, there is no possible justification for any Panther to win it.
