I'm sticking to my Oilers in 5 prediction, with McDavid scoring double digit points.

Game 1 was always going to be a write-off regardless of who won, after such a ridiculously long break. I think game 2 is going to set the tone for the rest of the series. And I say Edmonton breaks through

The deserve o meter should be 100% Bobrovsky.

 

[MCR74]

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

Which superstar D man is that?

Sam Bennett was an absolute beast again. What a player.

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

First goal was on McDavid. He went too deep and was completely off position which led to 3-on-2 counter and a goal.

But he’s afraid to drop the mitts lol.

The panthers apparently don't play well after having too many days off. The third period was a very different story from the first 2, and I expect to see more of that from the panthers moving forward. Hoping the Oilers win it but I dont think they will after watching that third period. Oilers needed to score and they barely got anything going in the third. Seems like its just the cats year after watching that game.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

I see many have already said but I'll add my voice as well: Edmonton was the better team last night by a lot but got goalied. Not sure how you counter that without pulling a Kreider. Also, they need to stop trying the five hole on Bob, it's sealed up like there's a chastity belt on it.

 

[BB88]

Saw lot of comments on how Edmonton dominated, not once did I see Florida in panic mode.

But! The 4th line gave up too many chances & Edmonton will target them at home

It all depends on Bobrovsky, if he stays on his game it's lights out, if he faulters the Oilers have a chance.

McBaby's knee looks like it is injured......

 

[HockeyWooot]

McGOAT off to a great start, particularly outstanding coverage on the first goal

 

[Devonator]

It is only one game but you do get the feeling that Game 2 is a must win for the Oilers....I don't think you want to go down 2-0 to this very formidable Florida team....I simply could not see the Oilers going down 2 games and then winning 4 of the next 5.....ergo....Edmonton must win game 2.

 

[BB88]

They also played against 2 of the best goaltending performances in these POs so far, and Vasi was really good as well.

Wild that we're acting like the presidents trophy winner and the 2nd best team in the Atlantic are chumps.

It’s fun to see Edmonton fans try to explain how they’ve been tested more

Please, those La& Vancouver teams weren’t build to win

their system is to get outshot badly and rely on Bobrovsky to steal one?

They dominated their run through the East..

They are built to play any type of hockey

When the lightning were good they had that about them too. Built to win and the advanced stats didn't matter. This panthers team can win in many ways and not look good doing it.

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.

lol. Panthers will get carried by Bob if not. Same old

 

[Three On Zero]

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.

Because the guy only cares about one end of the ice, he couldn’t give a shit about being defensively sound

Aka they had a stud goalie to carry them when they’re playing like shit

Because the fact is it’s 2024 and McDavid still only plays like he cares about offense, just ghosts and cheats in the defensive zone

 

[BB88]

If anyone is surprised by this game, you don't have a clue. Florida got the job done and shut right down


The big difference between Florida 2023 and 2024 is health

2nd is not having Marc Staal in the top4, he got abused

Health included this is a much better team

sure, the goalie is a member of the team. The beauty of a great team is some players have bad nights, and other players pick up the slack and win the games for the team.

lol really highlights how easy the Eastern Conference was that Bob didn't have to do anything until the first test in the Stanley Cup Finals

but when he was asked to do something he got a shutout. zero goals. That's not too bad. Most of those weak east teams scored on him.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

That was not a good game by the Panthers. And the Oilers played a very good game. But the Ptnehrs got the win.
We're really just getting into the series. No one has the edge yet I don't think. We'll see how the next game goes.
