ROFL I hear ya. Just saw that list and was like....

It’s also one of the reasons the Rangers are playing golf. lol. Need your big guys to show up. McDavid is doing that.

 

[BMOK33]

Oilers are the first team in NHL history to win Game 5 on the road after being down 0-3 in the Cup final

Rangers were a shot away from doing it in 2014, I was surprised somewhat to see that its never been done before

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I think most people pictured this series going at least six games even if it wasn't in this fashion. Florida played much better when they woke up but you can't fall asleep for lengthy periods of time. Believe me, I've seen it up close with the Oilers.

Tkachuk waking up is a good thing for Florida. I really hope Draisatl can muster something up because that line is getting eaten alive.

 

[OilerTitanFan]

C'mon. They lost game 5 and plan to lose game 6 so that they can win it in 7 on home ice. It's all part of the Master Plan.

Nothing like a game 7 for all the marbles and the Panthers are hip to that.

What would happen if the panthers lose game 7?

 

[Fishy McScales]

Because a team coming back from 3-0 even to make it 3-2 almost never happens

Reverse sweep has happened literally once ever

If that’s not blowing it then there’s no such thing as blowing it

Not sure why this has become the established truth. Someone said it's only happened once before in the cup final and that has morphed into it's only happened once period. But it's happened 4 times in total.

LA Kings did it to the Sharks ten years ago on their way to the cup for example.

Barkov just can’t contain Connor…… brown

Martinez !

 

[VainGretzky]

They would say they would rather win it 2025

Well said. But still, on that shorty Brown required Montour to make a "stupid is as stupid does" pass.
He had Tkachuk wide open on wall directly in front of him.
Oilers have been great.
Montour and Mikkola pairing have been terrible.

I think that the only reason Brown had enough time to deke was because Barkov stopped skating. I didn't understand why he gave up on the play, even if Brown misses he gets the rebound....

 

[BMOK33]

What would happen if the panthers lose game 7?

I'd hate to be the next road team in a game 7. They've won the last 3 dating back to 2009, one would assume order is restored at some point as prior to that they had lost the previous 6. I think too the style of a game 7 favors FLA more. Very few penalties were called in any dating back to 2006 and outside of 2011 they've all been very tight grind fests. I just think if it gets there its going to be a game that favors the Panthers unless Bob gives up 1-2 bad goals.

Request a best of 9 series????

 

[OilerTitanFan]

Barkov is supposed to win the Conn Smythe apparently. What he did there was beer league stuff

Request a best of 9 series????

At this point, Florida might want to negotiate for that just in case.

Like Ceci and Nurse earlier!


The style the Panthers play is tough on D-man. For every Forsling there are 5 that can't handle it.

Isn't Montour more of a Bouchard, offensive minded D-man?

That is not obvious since a lot of people now seem to genuinely believe that it's only "happened literally once ever" as you put it.

Well his job is to stop McDavid, not Brown

Yeah, every penalty becomes the season. I love Game 7s/elimination games in any sport. Game 7 even makes baseball fun, counting down the outs...

I’m sure it will be ok

 

[OilerTitanFan]

He didn't do much stopping when McDavid has 10 points in 3 games.

 

[Captain Controversy]

I had Florida in 7. And I've never been wrong before in my life.

Never ever?

 

[KCC]

Kudos to edm for at least making this series interesting. It has been fantastic hockey. I would love a game 7. The entire hockey world would unless you are Florida of course.

 

[Fishy McScales]

I’m sure it will be ok

I'm trying to point out a lot of people are getting misinformed on this point and you reply by being an ass?

Thanks for reminding me why I spend less time on the cesspool mains lately.

I’m sorry that you feel this way

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

I voted Cats in 6 but I'm so annoyed this is dragging out. They have no killer instinct. They're really making this as hard on themselves as possible.
