OT but I never got the hype that band. Outside of the drummer it was a whole lot of meh.

Their first two albums were relly, really good, imo. Their drummer is great.

I think this song might be about this thread
Shits adds up from the bottom....

If the regular season was any indicator, it’s gonna be a 4-0 sweep.

That's what the Canucks fans thought

 

[Thomas Tatar]

Records actually show that often the winner of regular season matchups also wins the playoff series. Just can't seem to find it right now, maybe someone else has a clue about this too?

Edit: picture

Did you read the second part?

The team that wins the regular season has a 6-12 losing record when meeting the other team in the Stanley Cup Finals. Fascinating.

nah only ones that agree with mine

Or as I say to my wife and kid out of the Arnie Auerbach school of philosophy

"There are 2 sets of rules. One for me, and one for the rest of ya's

Just on the used to flying point. Look where Sunrise is located. The Panthers are used to a lot of time spent on an airplane, too. Maybe not as much as Edmonton, but it’s not like they are a Metro team within a bus ride range of many of their opponents. Bob during the regular season would routinely not play the first game of a road trip, but would play the next games after traveling and play just fine.

That could be a problem if Edmonton splits the first two games, then could be as many as 4 trans continental 6+ hour flights with little time for recovery.
I just noticed the league has done something brand new, 2 days off between games. That will make a difference. Still one day for travel. That might work even better for the Oilers.
I just think all that flying will have repercussions with Bob and/or injuries.

Look for Oilers legs to be fresher as this series to goes on, I have Oilers in 7 for this very reason.

The longer the series goes the more it favors the Panthers. They grind teams down.

No matter who wins, this is going to be an epic series.

No matter who wins, this is going to be an epic series.

No matter who wins there was waaaaaay too long of a break between the conference finals and game 1 of the cup final.

Game 7 is scheduled for the 24th. Today is the 8th. It's a complete joke.

When is game five? That’s the day the Panthers will celebrate with the Cup.

Probably sometime in July.

 

[floridada]

let's go Oilers


he never will that's the point

Okposo was an Islander the majority of his sub-par career and I hope he never wins a cup.

I see that you still wont admit that you were wrong about Forsling.

My favorite Tool tune. Maynard is an acquired taste, but you had to live the times.



Edit: There's also "A Perfect Circle"

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Their drummer is great one of the best drummers to ever walk this earth.

ftfy
And insanely humble about his talent as well…. Look at this guy at damn near 60 years old!

what's with all this focus on the third best dman in the series lol

 

[FinlandPanther]

what's with all this focus on the third best dman in the series lol

We didn’t want to focus on Nurse who is the worst yet paid the highest by a large margin.

can't believe the Kittens are going to struggle so much against a team employing this Nurse guy

 

[Gentle Man]

Penalty talk is overblown imo.

Scrub game 2 against Boston and we are right there along with all the rest of the playoff teams

 

[MacMacandBarbie]

The longer the series goes the more it favors the Panthers. They grind teams down.

They really don't. They should have gentleman's sweeped the Rangers but look flat out worn down during many moments of that series. They should have finished Boston off at home but decided to get on another plane to do it in game 6. Even in the series versus the Nikita Kucherov's they played with their food in game 4.

Also pay attention ya Total Homer. All the series the Oilers were in favored them as the series went on. Oilers were down in both of their last series.

 

[Two4Fighting]

You guys aren't very good at this..

I pointed out that they were the 2nd most penalized team in the regular season, and tied for most in the playoff. Neither of those being incorrect, my apologies for not taking a deep dive into when those penalties were taken in each game.

Oiler fans have heard basically all this same stuff before the series against Dallas. Is that not true?

I believe the Stars were a deeper team than the Panthers, yes. That doesn't mean that the Stars are a better team than the Panthers. Also, that's called an opinion that actually favour my side, when you look at statistics.

Sensitive bunch, yikes. "Self-Awareness" though eh, that's ironic.

We heard all of this with Boston and Rangers, and we kept saying, "just wait" I understand that you are rooting for your team as I, bit ignoring and skipping facts, it always corrects at the end, so, I say to you, "just wait".

None of those teams were grinders though. We are a bunch of grinders Mac, you haven't seen the likes of us yet.

Well you tried Oilers. You actually had to face elite goaltending for once this post season. Lucky path so far.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Imagine McDavid saying "We played a full 60, but Barky was really good!"

 

[Straight Fire]

Florida never dominated nor looked good in this game. 18 shots on home ice is pretty pathetic.

It’s as simple as a game won by a goalie.

Oilers can get 18 shots on one power play.

Florida looked like the better team for about the first half of the first period. IMO.

Also, the Oilers couldn't raise the puck.
