You are seriously trying to suggest the Panthers fanbase is as hardcore as Canadian ones? Come on man

Panthers and Lightning fans are rabid.

Leaf fans are pretty quiet in comparison and I lived + went school in Toronto for almost a decade.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Florida will probably dismantle the Oilers with that defense and goaltending. But I hope not and hope the oilers win in six.

tell me u didnt watch Oilers in last few rounds. PK was 100% and Skinner was lights out. He was much better then Dallas goalie

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Not too sure fans in the other six Canadian markets want the Oilers to win. Would Flames fan hope the Oilers win?

I find it's more sports journos that want McDavid to get a trophy because of his point totals and point accumulation. I'm not seeing a lot of Oilers pennants or flags on cars right now. The last time there was a massive "I'm in!" movement across Canada was when the Habs faced Bolts a few years ago.
Habs flags all over, it was distressing to be certain.

Go Cats. Go Barkov. Go Selke.

 

[5Hollywood5]

I mean, since you're bringing up stats from a year ago. which team beat the 135 point Bruins?

The team that got embarrassed 9-3 in game 5 of round 4, I think?

 

[thefutures]

Hopefully Bennet gives them a proper reason to dive. Aim for the head buddy

 

[Laus723]

I've been trying to get them to understand this stuff but they just laugh emoji my comment and never address the points. It's all good I get it, I would be excited if I was in their place as well.

Pasta got shut down by the Leafs too, and the Ranger's trio shut themselves down lmao.

And Kucherov? Stamkos? Trocheck wasn't as much of a factor either.

Carry on as much as you want about those teams and their current rosters, especially Tampa, but Kuch marched alongside McDavid in points all season and is a VERY well known post-season monster.

so...laugh emoji. I guess.

 

[CanePanther]

Welcome Edmonton to our world you now are in the big show. Our Cats had a taste and the hunger is real now. Bring your best game cause I know to every Panthers player this is all business.

That has as much context as Edmonton not making the Finals, why do you think that is a flex?

All I said was that neither Tampa or Boston had been considered cup contenders since the start of the season, which is true. You can go on for another ten pages, nothing changes.

Edmonton almost got to the Conference finals in 17, they've been waiting for this for a long time now. Florida came out of nowhere last year, it's not the same.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

I guess I prefer to see the Oilers (McDavid and Perry) specifically, lift the cup but I just can’t pick against Florida right now. Panthers in 6 seems like the ceiling to me for this series but I hope I’m wrong and it goes 7.

 

[The Moose]

Florida seems like the stronger team. Of course, I hope Oilers win the cup.

Whatever it will be, it was such a fun ride so far!! If it goes beyond 5 games I will have to wake up in the middle of the night to watch the games. Frankly, I didn't expect we'll get that far when I made my summer plans.

 

[Chaos2k7]

for the love of God. They just eliminated 3 teams. One was in 1st place in Pacific, one eliminated last 2 Stanley Cup champs. U dont deserve to be here talking like that. I understand u hate the Oilers but cmon man, use your head

Both teams deserve to be here, and both teams could win it.

Ohh so the President Trophy season just vanished huh? 2 years in the final? ECF and the finals are a step apart, one being further then the other, so that 17 flex is weird.

Both are in the finals, it's a new season, clean slate. Whats in the past is not relevant as of game 1, all you can do is move forward and hope that the team you root for wins it.

This is just the first of several Edmonton Oilers cups.
You cannot stop the Oiler's 6-headed dragon.
If you think Florida is going to magically stop taking penalties and not feed Edmonton's powerplay, you're going to be in for a huge surprise.

What is the point you're trying to make? Lmao. You're all over the place. Are there not elite players on those teams? Did not every team we've faced so far have the best goaltending? Was LA a "Cup Contender?" Did anyone actually think Vancouver really stood a chance to go far?

 

[Ratsreign]

Maybe reed it again....

 

[Oilers in NS]

exactly
that rant was from a Leafs fan so u do the math

 

[voxel]

Edmonton could lose yet to another cup winner...

Perry could lose again in the SCF for the 4th time.

Regardless.. going to enjoy the games without expectations. Reaching the finals seems like fantasy at the moment.

WHAT ABOUT RICOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Just Rude]

This whole "cheer for Canada" thing is so overblown. No one in Canada would cheer for Toronto (unless it's the Raptors or Jays, then it's the whole "Canada's team" thing). Most of Canada cheered against Vancouver in 2011, and I know most Leaf and Sens fans wanted Tampa to wreck Montreal a few years back. Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver would never cheer for each other. Winnipeg? Probably the same.

The Boston Pizza marketing team should be fired into the f***ing sun. What a cringe campaign.

 

[Coffey]

Hello common sense Panthers fan, I'm common sense Oilers fan.

Man, I hope your right. Be much easier to resign McDavid, Drai and Bouchard if we r winning

My points have all been extremely straightforward, I'm actually surprised you're not following along.

I'm all over the place? Look at your bolded.

Came out of nowhere....after winning the President trophy the previous season
