I don’t think Edmonton is going to be able to keep up. I wanted the Oilers to win but Florida probably dog walks them in 5.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

yah an interfence when they puck was no where…. McDavid got right up.

Kane did the exact same thing to Bennett and folded him later in the game.

I didn’t see that. I guess I was more concerned with winning.

That was just a collision as both turned into each other, though.

Still got rekt

 

[Ratsreign]

Is it a coincidence that Panthers played their worst two periods of the entire playoffs vs Oilers? Or are Oilers just better than any other team they've played against thus far?

Definitely the best team they’ve faced. It’s not even close. (Judging from only one game).
Perhaps a factor in the odd mans against, FL very worried about Edmonton’s counter, and not wanting to get caught, seemed to make them maybe hesitant to go full on pressure in the O zone. And then the Edmonton speed, like Forsling going for a poke check and ends up putting stick right between 97 skates instead. Dude is flying with the puck. Edmonton really busted through with some glorious chances. Panthers have a lot to clean up.
They’ve seen it first hand now. Adjustments will be made. See if they help.

All while falling down on the ice constantly and making some very big mistakes.. breakaways...

If you cant see the impressive aspects of your opponent then your just drinking Kool aid.

We see the skill the creativity of Edmonton.. we know...

Florida has been the overlooked franchise for 30 years.

The only way our 6 fans will ever get any recognition is if we win the whole damn thing.

Fine let them earn it. And yes the goalie is part of the team.

I'm rooting for you guys. I like the vibe that's going on there.

So, thus far pretty much domination by the Oilers, however Bobrovsky came up huge and stole the win in combination with some sloppy moments by Edmonton. When it comes to scoring changes, control of the ice, Edmonton pretty much dominated.

So for the series it is looking great for Edmonton, if Game 1 is representative at all the Oilers should take it 4-2.

i have the cats in 5, i think edmonton will steal a game at home

 

[Ekblast]

I do think the Oilers are the best team the Panthers have faced. And that that is why it took Florida two periods to get their suffocating team defense going.

Wrong. The Panthers are the best team THEY have faced. We had to go through Vasi, Swayman, and Igor.

 

[PaulD]

The last superior goalie to win the Cup was Vasilevsky.

no kidding But tests not what I said. the team withbthe best goalie IN THE FINALS In the final series these goalies played better than their opponent.
Hill was better than Bobrovsky
Vassy was better than Price
Vassy was better than Ottinger
Binnington was better than Rask.
Holtby was better than Murray
and so on....

 

[Dieseloil]

Meh, not that impressed with Florida, just the shots that ricocheted and barely missed by the Oilers would have won that game handily. Never mind all the shots that were on the net or the breakaways. It’s hard to argue with winning, but Edmonton was extremely snakebit. It wasn’t all Bobrovsky.

Funny, I wasn’t impressed with the Oilers either. When your MO is high powered offense and you lay a goose egg….its not a good look.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Sam Bennett is gonna get a hatty this series. I can feel it.

He's going to concuss three players in the same game?

Bobrovsky was unreal and he's not going anywhere - he will be a problem for Edmonton all series.

Adjustments will be made. This isn't what every game is going to look like moving forward so when people talk about how unimpressed they were with the other team it's just a pathetic flex to say 'we lost but you were lucky'. No one respects these opinions.

We need a name for this.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Bobrovski and the panthers lead killed the oilers last night. The fact both worked well for the panthers early on in the game was beneficial for them after a long break imo. It's still only game 1 tho and a lot could happen and unfold from there. See what or doesn't stay consistent from game 1 because it doesn't always stay the same.

 

[Ratsreign]

Wrong. The Panthers are the best team THEY have faced. We had to go through Vasi, Swayman, and Igor.

Each can be true. This is gonna be great moving forward.
can’t wait to see Game 2

 

[Leonardo87]

Folks, once again enough about the fans and members here. Thank you.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Anyone expecting a similar game to game 2 as compared to game 1 is fooling themselves.

Panthers played some of the worst hockey of their playoffs last night and that's more their fault than Edmonton's. Skinner was barely tested. I imagine he faces a lot more in game 2.

Florida got it done though. Barkov is so good. I think it was him and Bob that really helped get them the W, even with the team not playing very well overall.

 

[CanePanther]

Maybe I’m missing something but the word dominating may not apply to the team that loses unless there is some emotional gratification and in that case I’m sorry but it means absolutely nothing in terms of tommorow.
I can say that Bob was dominating it’s all relative.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Forsling didn't impress anyone tonight. There's a reason why there will be zero mention of him anywhere between now and Game 2

Ok, we don't care. We won.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Yep. The only stat that matters is Florida up 1-0 in games.
On to the next one!

 

[sinDer]

I think that getting the win in game 1 was more important for Edmonton than it was for Florida. Because the Panthers always gets better as series goes on. It’s been the case since last year playoffs.

Edmonton might feel confident after the game since they dominated. But they’re about to face a different beast in game 2.

On the other hand, can the Oilers be better than they were in game 1?

Not gonna lie though, Edmonton impressed me. Panthers never got so badly dominated in a playoffs game since playing Tampa in 2022

All this talk about Bobrovsky while there’s been zero highlights of his saves circulating. He got a shutout, but he was good not great. Made the saves he needed to make
