This one week break before the finals is waaaay too short. Next year Bettman should consider having the cup final in August, may as well give both teams 6 weeks off to relax and heal up.

Predicting a Sam Bennett "eye job" on Bouchard tomorrow so he can finally see straight.

Why does it bother you so much? Does it interfere with your personal schedule? I'd recommend a pvr

But your post seemed to imply that Oilers fans, by and large, think it will be a route of the Panthers. That's just not the case.

Bolded was the part you added. No need to make inferences. It's been the same 5 posters shitting on every FLA fan who makes the mistake of remarking here. Maybe 15 percent of the posts are thoughtful discourse. Anyone visiting this thread regularly knows it.

Hockey soon. Moving on.

These teams have so many differences and yet it just all comes down to who makes the least mistakes less penalties and no doubt both teams will be rusty. This first game Iis just downright scary.

Your summary was one-sided and inaccurate.

That thoughtful discourse, though...

It's tough to say the Oilers will definitely continue their PK streak, but it's also tough to say that whoever takes fewer penalties will have a significant advantage. You have to score on the powerplay for that to be really meaningful. The Stars PP was running at 29% before getting blanked by the Oilers. The Panthers are at 23.3%. It may be a better fit to crack the Oilers PK, but it might not be.

I'm personally nervous that Florida just has the right mix of style and players to break down the Oilers defense (assuming Bobrovsky stays on his game).

But it's two great teams, and it'll be a fun series.

Now, if only the NHL wouldn't keep squandering opportunities like this.

It’s not me, it’s the players who hate it. It takes them out of their rhythm when they’re so used to playing every 2nd night for the last 6 weeks. They just want to get this thing started. Also, many people will lose interest if things just pause all of a sudden.

I've heard a bunch of player's say they think it's good. Heals some guys up and makes everybody fresh.

Sometimes anticipation helps with audiences. We can't help if Americans don't give a shit

Canadians will be all in.

lol Vezina candidate Bob is the last person on the ice to be worried about. It’s the guy at the other end you should be really worried about, who had to be saved by Pickard in Round 2 or else his team wouldnt even be here.

Lmao

I trust Boston and NYR fans assessment of hockey. They are correct here. It's not even controversial to say, the dirtier team in the playoffs always gets the officiating advantage cause of Game Management. The refs can't and won't call EVERYTHING, so anything they let go, that's a playoff favor to the Cats.

The word is grit, not dirty.

 

[Two4Fighting]

their third line has scored seven goals altogether

If you know hockey, Low scoring can also means great defense or great goalie onbthe other side, all 6 games against the Rangers, were separated by1 goal.

Florida's "meanness" is severely overrated due to playing Eastern teams, the only guy who drops the mitts is <200lb Bennett

 

[eviohh26]

I mean, you already replied to that post yesterday.. I'm not sure why you feel the need to reply again.

I don't quite understand your point. What does me being an Oiler fan have to do with anything? If you're suggesting I'm being a huge homer or something in this thread, please, find me a few examples.

I don't think your the voice of reason you may believe you are.

You're not a huge homer? Really?

 

[Bank Shot]

Oilers can cup check with the best of them.

It’s often a fine line between those two words. Considering the dirtbags that Florida employs, I’m leaning towards dirty until shown otherwise.

Bennett is the most likely candidate to get it into scrums,
People here have not been watching the Panthers, they were grittier last year, not this year, this year is all Bussiness, even Katchuckbis a very disciplined player this year.

You will be disappointed, expecting physical battles, you will see some in the first game, but from there on.

That's some Vezina calibre reading you did there.
