Nah, he’s more than used to it.

yeah but im asking about mcdavid here, Kulikovs been here 97 times in a row

 

[Bizz]

If there's anyone that can end Canada's Cup drought, it's McDavid. Oilers in 7.

 

[Kerberos]

Maybe on hfboards. Curious what the betting sites have it at.

Seems like the Panthers are slight favs at the moment.

 

[VanOriginal]

Is the Cup going back to Southern Florida or up North. I know the Cup likes the sunshine and humidity in SoFlo it's been there a lot the past several years. Will be a good series, can't wait to drive down from my summer home in Sarasota to see the cup during the parade

Edmonton is going to have to up their physicality vs. Flordia. Hopefully the NHL calls the games cleanly and lets skill take precedence over dirty stuff.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Edmonton wins but 1 game when Florida takes too many penalties.

True, that way Florida can outshoot the Oilers every game.

 

[Ol' Jase]

Florida will win but it will be harder for them than many of you think. Florida will likely be better even strength but the Oilers PK and PP are both much better than any team Florida has faced.

This is the right take, IMO.

I feel Barkov is going to play McDavid extremely tough. It could make all the difference in the series.

 

[Kennedys]

Panthers never faced McDrai in these playoffs

I’m way more concerned about Barkov than Kulikov.

 

[Chaos2k7]

They beat the 1, 7 and 14th place teams in the reg season.
Oilers beat the 2, 6, 12th place teams.

Pretty even Steven.

TB is being vastly underrated, if we had lost I think they would have been here instead. IMO

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

It’s funny how you guys keep trying to will the underdog thing. You have two of the best players in the world, including a top 10 player of all time.

You don’t get to be an underdog with the pieces you have. Win the cup or shamefur dispray.

Seriously. Anyone comparing this to 2006 is out of their mind. This core should not have taken 9 seasons to make the SCF. Interested to see if they can get it done.

For real? Damn. I thought they lived and breathed by Kuch. And Vasi was not his old self anymore.

Well you have seen our GMs right? Lmao

 

[WEMCHUD]

I'm pulling for oilers in 6 again but I think the panthers will be the boyz toughest opponent these playoffs.

In theory but Florida had to beat two really good goalies and Tampa doesn’t have the forward depth or close to the d depth of Florida.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Panthers never faced McDrai in these playoffs

Only Kucherov, Pastrnak and Panarin

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Vegas rolled Florida in 5 last year, Oilers will probably do the same. Oilers in 5 or 6.

 

[pb1300]

Hope the Panthers underestimate the Oilers just like HF's braintrust who claimed Dallas would stomp Edmonton in 4 or 5 did.

This team will happily embrace the underdog role. Anybody that thinks this series is going to be easily decided doesn't know hockey. Or sports.

These comments are so stupid.

Yes, because on the off days, Panthers players log in to HFBoards to get their daily dose of hockey.

"Oh look at the polls numbers. Lots of people think we are going to win. Lets take the Oilers lightly!"

The Panthers WERE the underdog last playoffs. They know the feeling with their backs against the wall, and what its like being the underdog.

They kept that feeling all offseason, and brought it with them into this season. It has been all business for this team since day 1 of training camp. If you think they are underestimating anyone at this point of the season, then you dont know hockey. Or sports.

Both TB and Boston will be at the top of the league again next season, I laugh when people tell me this changing of the guard is coming.

 

[Hoek]

Please just get McDavid his cup so we can stop hearing that tired argument and we can discuss him in proper context already.

 

[pb1300]

Vegas rolled Florida in 5 last year, Oilers will probably do the same. Oilers in 5 or 6.

Yes, because the teams are obviously the same, and just as injured

 

[Chaos2k7]

Without 5 forward regulars, and half our D seriously injured.

We are healthy and 5 lines deep, we will have fresh legs.

Still a toss up though

That will only increase the talk

 

[Hank Plank]

Don’t know how you can recover from back to back finals losses after 2 terrific years, would be absolutely devastating, more pressure on Florida.

97 is the chosen one he has to win it all to cement his legacy as one of the all time greats. Can't think of a more pressure scenario.

Vasy, Swayman, and Shesterkin

Bob still gets no respect.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Panthers are -134 for series right now. So bet 134 to win 100

I'm seeing -125 or 55.6 % for Panthers.

Not really underdogs super close.
