[Three On Zero]

Florida definitely won this game

Fixed for you since Bob didn’t score 3 goals

 

[SavoieSeason]

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.

yea Bobrovsky is S-tier

 

[BB88]

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.

Yeah

Panthers really learned from that Lighting series couple of years back

You can’t intimidate them physically, they can get into a scoring race and are comfortable in 1 goal games. No team has more 1 goal wins during the last 2 playoffs than the Panthers

yea Bobrovsky is S-tier

you mean Bob didn't steal the game?

Florida did to you what you did to Dallas in game 6

Watch hockey outsidd of Edmonton

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Oilers had the Deserve to win O Metre off the charts last night

If people remember the WW2 veteran that was introduced before the anthems....
During tv timeout in the second period the Panthers do a tribute to the special guest veteran. The USA chant usually follows.
If wyshitski actually paid attention, or had been to FL he would know. But, mr brilliant reporter guy just goes to snarky comment without even wondering “why do they do that”. A “reporter” might first ask some questions.

What? I said that Bob stole the game. Agree/disagree?

Back reading the game thread is like



pages in a row all at the same minute.

We are witnessing one of the greatest runs by a goalie since Patrick Roy in Montreal, last year the Panthers were down 3-1 to Boston when they put in Bob and rode him to the Cup, unfortunately he sat to long before the final having swept the Canes and got rusty, this year he's ready and it shows "if" he can keep it up like Roy in 93 he is capable of stealing the whole thing, gonna be fun to watch.

To be fair I don't know if there's a single sporting event where Americans wouldn't chant USA.

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.

Agreed. In the most dominant position in professional sports. Their run hasn’t been what it was last year where he did what he did last night for multiple rounds, but he’s capable of stealing a series or 3, 100%

…. He’s only a .915 lol

Oilers have struggled with goalies at the start of a playoff series frequently over the last few years, tbh. They usually solve them by like game 3. Going to need to get at least a split on Monday though or it'll be too late.

 

[PaulD]

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.

And Dallas was by far the better team in game 6 conference finals but got goalied.
It happens every play offs at times.
Your goalies has to steal you a game a series or you ain't going no where.

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

It wasn’t solely on McDavid, although he was part of it correct.

He also made many great defensive plays in the game as well.

Every player makes mistakes, this is no way shape or form means he “doesn’t care about defense”.

I’ve watch Datsyuk be the cause of goals against, I suppose that means he was terrible defensively?

 

[Fatass]

What? I said that Bob stole the game. Agree/disagree?

Yup. Bob stole this one. His club didn’t seem to have their A game. Yet they still won. Great teams are complete. They have all their players commit to playing winning hockey. Last night the Oilers had too many guys not committed to winning.

 

[PaulD]

Team with the best goalie has won a lot of Finals over the years.

 

[nbwingsfan]

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

As someone else said, it’s quicker for you to just say you didn’t watch the games rather than outting yourself like this

They really only had two, Nurse/Ceci.

Unfortunately when those two are together, they’re a one tandem game ruining pairing.

I have no idea why EDM coach would go back to them, there’s never a single positive that comes out of it

Really? Then how many guys besides Bob did the Panthers have committed to winning?

Imo the Oiler top guys need to score when they have the PP. They are just average at evens. They are dash players 5 on 5.

All of them. They won. No one remembers to losers.

Panthers have started series slowly a couple times in Game 1s and have adjusted as the series goes on.

We took Game 1, we have a long way to go.

I personally thought that we didn’t have Skinner moving side to side enough, but we also didn’t have a ton of zone time.

 

[SavoieSeason]

All of them. They won. No one remembers to losers.

And how do you figure? Did they commit to winning by getting caved in for the majority of the game?

 

[Neil Racki]

In an intensity and entertainment scale .. that game was a 6/7 out of 10.

Hopefully the teams can elevate and give us something epic

 

[Fatass]

When the buzzer went off the Oilers lost. That’s all that matters. If the Oiler top guys don’t score on the PP they have no chance. They are only average at 5 on 5.

I agree, getting caved in for 80% of the game definitely doesn’t seem like committing to winning.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

McDavid is an ATG, I think he knows whats required of him to win this series, I fully expect a signature performance in game 2 and the rest of the series, guy is simply too good, you think he knows his legacy isn't in the balance? Bob was awesome in Game 1, this is going 6 or 7.

 

[Fatass]

Imo the Oilers didn’t get “caved in” as you suggest. Their top guys just expect they will score on the PP so play a bit soft at evens. They didn’t get “caved in” though. Their goalie just missed on a couple.
