Right. We never expected to win getting outshot and outchanched, that's not our game. But here we are.

Cats will get outshot/out chanced this series, Bob will even the playing field. Edmonton is a better skating team, Florida has been playing teams running 2Cs in their top six for the last two months

 

[Hank Plank]

I didn’t really see floridas physicality or forecheck as a factor at all tonight

Interesting. Both on the same play created the winning goal.

 

[Osakahaus]

Florida played the Oilers right but I don't feel like they'll sweep. I anticipate a series thats going 6. Edmonton gotta steal game 2. I believe in them but Bobrovsky has just been red hot as of late.

 

[Double Dion]

I still think we see the great Calvin Pickard in this series when Knoblauch becomes desperate to change the momentum.

Desharnais in for Nurse in the first elimination game is my prediction.

Is Point a 2C?

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

In the last 40 mins Edmonton only had 2 more shots at even strength.

Oilers looked dangerous throughout the game but Florida got better & ended up keeping the Oilers to the outside more in the second half.

Particularly in the 3rd EDM didn't get much while Florida actually got some good scoring chances.

I guess the positive for EDM is they looked dangerous & are capable of generating quick chances off mistakes (as we know), but I think that 3rd period will be more of what you see from Florida.

The Oilers are the biggest diving team in the NHL.

Meh cats played undisciplined which was thought to be a problem this series but they got away with it. Oilers had 3 PP and Florida 2 PP. it’s not like the refs were overwhelming calling everything in Oilers favor.

 

[Three On Zero]

Mods should ban these 21 voters IMO

Decline

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Desharnais in for Nurse in the first elimination game is my prediction.

They’ll never bench Nurse. A $9.25 million cap hit sitting out is too embarrassing to the GM.

Oilers nation would be offended if their 9.25M dollar Superstar dman gets healthy scratched.

 

[Sticksandsun]

I thought McDavid was going to destroy Barkov? How's that going through game 1 Oilers fans?

Umm not sure if you've seen how the fans talk about him lol

They have a 5M+ goalie sitting in the minors. Nurse and Campbell costing them this luck fuelled era would really be something.

 

[PromisedLand]

Gary’s game managers got what they wanted. Kozari is pumped. Can’t beat a good team and the refs.

yea.... this ref especially I tell ya man....

Interesting. Both on the same play created the winning goal.

They barely had the puck all game. Those were defensive mistakes by the oilers. Having too many men deep also gave the oilers 3 breakaways in the first half of the game. Also took some dumb penalties as a result.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Desharnais in for Nurse in the first elimination game is my prediction.

Only coach with balls like this would be torts. They never will and really don’t have to. Just stop putting Nurse with bad pairings.

 

[Nicko999]

according to moneypuck the high danger chances went 18-6 in favor of oilers but I'm sure your methodology is better

My methodology are my eyes and at no point did I feel Edmonton was going to score.

I thought the refs were fine, most egregious thing they did was the non-call on the board on OEL in the 1st, if a Panther did that to McDavid they'd be executed at center ice

Agreed. It looked like Florida was rusty. Too many breakaways early on. The Oilers came out hungrier but as the game went on it looked more like how we expected the series to be.
I thought Floridas heavy forecheck caused the Oilers some problems. You could see it especially on the second goal.

He doesn’t care. He’s done after this season. Holland is just happy to be here while we suffer with Darnell’s anchor moving forward.

it's one game lol
remember, Oilers season was over in November because they were in last place

Cause Ceci is a soft bitch.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Tkachuk didn’t have a great game, Im thinking he’s carrying some kind of injury at this point. Bennett is a boss on the ice, every team would love to have him on their team.

 

[hirawl]

Oilers played good and Panthers did what was needed against that.

Throw some respect onto Ceci’s name!
