All I learned from this game is that without Bobrosvski the Panthers are looking like a lottery team (not that they are one).

On the other side if you can't score on so many chances you are maybe also not good.

Only one game, let's see what's next

 

[Hank Plank]

Just facts. Florida is a great team, possibly elite, but they haven't proven it yet given that their first game against a legitimate cup contender this postseason looked the way it did tonight.

If winning game 1 of the Cup final isn't proving anything then what is losing game 1?

 

[heynowbababooey]

First goal could've been avoided if McJesus had properly back checked, but you don't get pts from that so he didn't turn on the jets. He only tries when the puck is on his stick or when he's in the offensive zone.

 

[22Brad Park]

It's hilarious, Florida's beat everyone there is to beat in the east. Tampa, New York, Carolina, Toronto, Boston. Meanwhile Edmonton's lone impressive series win in 4 years is vs Dallas

I think beating Vancouver was a nice series win for Edm.They had lost all 4 reg season meetings vs them prior to that

Bobrovsky

 

[IB]

Oilers outplayed Florida. They have outplayed every opponent.

Frustrating lol.

Bob is great but needs more help. Only one game.

Chuckle shake your Oilers curse, you have always been a big game player, except when playing edm.

GPG!!

Bobrovsky

which team is bobrovsky playing for?

 

[Mike C]

Bobrovsky was pretty good, but the Oilers missed so many opportunities. That's the kind of game that they should have won.

All they can do now is not take their foot off the gas. Keep swarming these Panthers! Bob will crack eventually!

Pretty good?

 

[jetsforever]

Just watched the game - very fast paced and fun, Edmonton had chances but Bobrovsky was a wall

 

[rea]

Pretty good?

He was no Dan Cloutier, but he made the stops when necessary

 

[Mike C]

He was no Dan Cloutier, but he made the stops when necessary

I'd say he was better than pretty good. Saved several breakaways and for the most part had great rebound control

 

[mattihp]

Just the first game, but it did not look like Skinner, a very good NHL goalie was in the same League as Bobrovsky

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

It's so crucial for the Oilers' game that they score first. Whenever they start to trail they put McDrai together and neuter the rest of the team.

Sorry I was being sarcastic, Mb it didn't translate well for you. Without knowing, it sounds like the jist was he was dominant.

It had nothing to do with him back checking, he just got caught too deep when Florida got control of the puck which caused the breakdown

It's a bit easier to swallow this one when you don't score. You tip your cap to the the other goalie who was the difference, and do it all over again for game 2.

Do they not have any options better than pairing up nurse and ceci? They can very well be the difference in a one goal game down the road in this series, and if game 1 was any indication, the margins are going to be tight.

McDavid needs to be on the ice with the team's top 2 Dmen every shift, which limits their other options

 

[Mike C]

tsam as we all know, the better team doesn't always win. clearly the case tonight

Clearly the team that wins is all that matters. Watching Fla play shutdown D in the 3rd and keeping McDavid and Dri in check went a long way in equalizing who the better team was

Bill Parcells "you are what your record says you are"

No worries. Hard to tell sometimes. Plus it's late!

Bobrovsky is in the top echelon of NHL goaltenders. earning every bit of that contract

Bobrovsky stole the game, Oilers were better. Anyone with an opinion that makes money agrees

All the rhetoric is meaningless. Series is 1-0 Florida

 

[DearDiary]

I wonder if we see a hearing announced tomorrow for Henriques hit from behind on Larsson.

There's a reason for that my brother!

Still waiting for the Panthers to impress.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

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

You can’t be serious. The only reason the Oilers looked good in the first two periods was because they got away with absolute murder. Refs were on the Oilers side and they still couldn’t score.

Still waiting for the Panthers to impress.

63 hits. 60 percent face off wins, 21 blocks, 3 penalty kills, 7 more takeaways, 4 less giveaways, a 3-0 shutout where they scored 2 on 17 shots is enough to impress me but what the hell do I know eh?

Completely disagree. I counted 8 missed calls on Florida. Many slashes to the hands and interference. 3 missed calls on Oilers.

too bad we didn't have a neutral party such as yourself calling the game
