FLA loses that game 9.9 out of 10 times. Bob went god mode - otherwise FLA got outplayed in every aspect.

Had Oilers scored or had the lead. You would've seen a different Panthers team respond then. They played 3rd period closer what they usually do.

 

[Foppberg]

Edmonton in 6. Bob can only gift the Panthers so many games.

 

[Ratsreign]

Or how they get diminished, devalued, discredited, etc

Not you personally,
but holy shit is the pot calling kettle 101.

 

[IceManCat]

Did anyone else catch McDavid glaring at Barkov right after he scored LOL. It was quite the stare down, love his competitiveness

 

[King Woodballs]

How come the oilers didn’t score? They had all week to prepare.
Are they stupid or something?

 

[jonlin]

Exactly. McD>>Barkov, Drai>>Tkachuk, Bouch>>Forsling, Skinner=Bob. The Oilers have the better players in every position compared to the Panthers ainec. The Panthers were unbelievably lucky. Oilers in 5.

McD 0p -2 33.3% FO >> Barkov 2p +2 50% FO

I agree Barkov was shittier than normally on the dot and McDavid clearly outplayed him on every level. McJesus was the GOAT

 

[Chinaski89]

McDave definitely caught sleeping on the first goal against. Barkov his guy, he got caught below him and a pass beat him. easy 3 on 2 up the ice.

Surprised coudln't catch him on the backcheck.

Hyman also gliding for the cross-crease pass. Both of them played it like chumps.

 

[Ratsreign]

Maybe JLD needs to use the sarcasm emoji next time.

It’s more fun when he doesn’t.

You know not of what he speaks, my friend.

You see the problem is that the refs tried to gift power plays to Edmonton and it didn't work, what can this charitable League give to the Oilers to help them actually score goals?

 

[jonlin]

This thread is actually kinda funny. Seems like 99% of this board never actually played a game of hockey or soccer? Panthers went 1-0 at 3.59 in the 1st. In SCF:s if you are up, you dont usually go all out attack then, but try to keep the lead. Bob did the rest.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

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

I hope you haven’t been watching all the gambling ads and putting money on your bold calls!

 

[Laus723]

The aim for tonight wasn’t to win the game.

The aim was to compete, to minimize the damage on the PK ( the refs will call a ridiculous amount of penalties against the Oilers) and to hammer Barkoff every chance they get.

Losing the game just means it's a best of 6, great place to be for the underdog.

Winning would have been gravy.

Lmao..:what??

 

[dhfa]

Lmao..:what??

it's reaching deep to say after a loss, we weren't trying to win it we were just feeling you out lol

 

[Mobiandi]

My main takeaway from this is that Tkachuk still really struggles against Western teams in the playoffs. He was completely taken out of the game by the speed and grit on display, which the East just doesn’t really have

Post of the thread!

 

[MCR74]

He's our Gretzky, me and you will never see this again. Lots of talk in this thread, every Florida fan is and should be horrified of what McDavid can do when hes at his best and you better believe he will be the rest of the series.

They didn't seem too horified last night. The Oilers don't win shit if McDavid doesn't score.

The way the Panthers played in the 3rd period is a good sign of them settling in. Edmonton lost with the Panther playing poorly for 2 periods.

 

[Ratsreign]

This site needs a dislike button. Honestly, how are shot blocking, winning faceoffs, and all the defensive effort the Panthers displayed last night not a commitment to winning?

Some People must only watch McDavid shifts, and then post here the rest of the time They seem to miss some things here and there, lol.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Oilers 'caved them in' for roughly 50% of the game. Certainly the first period, and they had some chances in the 2nd too, but Florida started to find their game in the 2nd period & then gave EDM nothing in the 3rd.

Bobrovsky held the Panthers in early but they also locked that game down & killed off all the PPs. It wasn't their best game to start but I think Florida ultimately earned that one in the end.

His post was a “filthy dangle” lol

The thing is he won’t have to do it again.

 

[nbwingsfan]

I suggest a namechange. nbwingsfan - McJesusDoNoWrong

Pointing out to the ridiculous takes of McDavid being nothing but average at ES does not mean he can “do no wrong”

How about Jonlin - IDontActuallyWatchOrKnowAnythingAboutHockey

That may be over the character limits though so maybe let’s just stick to “BestToIgnore”

You do not start turtling with 46mins remaining on a 1goal lead

If Bobrovsky didn’t play out of his mind this would have been a hilarious result if that was truly the game plan

 

[Catscountry40]

Florida lost to Boston 5-1 after a long break and the D was sloppy allowing similar breakaways as they did last night. Florida gets better as series go on. The physicality will wear the Oilers down.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

They didn't seem too horified last night. The Oilers don't win shit if McDavid doesn't score.

What are they gonna do when he walks in 2 years? I mean, besides getting more consecutive 1st overall picks.
