No joy in oilerville tonight. Oilers will need 20 power plays a game to win.

Apparently having a hot goalie is cheating and doesn't count.

can't blame everyone for being underwhelmed with Forsling with how much Cats fans were hyping him up

I've been doing that and Tampa is actually playing in the finals with this method.

The cat will be back
You know you are f***ed when your opponent plays a poor game at home and still beats you 3-0
Florida has made the decision to not only sign a two-time Vezina winner for $10m but to also pay $4.5m for their young backup / goalie of the future.
The Oilers are riding $2.3m Skinner with $750k Pickard as backup. Their man Campbell has his $5m buried in the minors.
That money Florida is spending on goalies is away from somewhere else and there was a time they were ridiculed for that contract. The goaltender is an integral part of the team and it was probably the first game these playoffs they really had to ride Bob hard to get the win. Not that he hasn't played well for them and there's been games he had to make some big saves to prevent them from getting goalied by Swayman or Shesty, but this is probably the first game these playoffs you could say they needed him to steal.

The No1 C in the game Connor McDavid:
0p 25.19min -2 and a superb 33.3% FO
"I only play for points. Back-checking is for others"

Love how some oiler fans are blaming the refs for not calling everything against Florida,, two way street there. That means oilers get called for all the stuff they got away with

The refs didn't call any of the panther players dives and that's why this series is unjustly 0-1 for the Panthers. This situation is a bad look for the game when clearly the better team lost due to refs and panthers shenanigans.

If oiler fans are already complaining about calls you should all prepare yourselves because I can assure you it will only get worse.
I know that. I just have a big problem with him beeing the best player in the game and the fastest, but only offensively. He could also be fast back-checking, but doesnt seem to care too much. He just want points and expect others to do the dirty work. Crosby atleast played 2-ways.
I can’t believe we’re in 2024, where McDavid has brought the oilers to the SCF, and this “McDavid only cares about offense” nonsense actually still exists.
There’s absolutely no way you watched last nights game if you think he didn’t play great both ends of the ice. He was by far the most dangerous player on the ice, and made multiple great defensive plays as well

You can just tell us you didn't watch the game, it's quicker.

McDavid clearly isn't all about offense because he couldn't bury a single goal past Bobrovsky who's an overpaid washed up bum. Even though the Oilers were the better team, McDrai has to step up big time.
Bobrovsky is literally a Vezina finalist this season lol.
Panthers will watch film and figure out what they need and how to adjust. Game 2 is almost a must win for the Oilers who gave it their best shot. We easily could be looking at a 0-2 Oiler team.
Excellent road game for the Oilers, and well prepared. Their fate should have been different, but that happens sometimes when you go against one of the best goaltenders in the world.
Panthers capitalized on their chances, but were definitely rusty with the layoff. Very similar to Game 1 against the Bruins. They will only get better from tomorrow on.

Maybe JLD needs to use the sarcasm emoji next time.
Even though the Panthers played their first off game of the playoffs which is understandable due to the break, they still win 3-0. Sweep incoming.
