"This isn't the Oprah Winfrey show - my feelings don't matter"

What a line from Paul Maurice

 

[Devonator]

Granted it doesn't look great for the Oilers right now but I am surprised so many people think this series is over.....all Edmonton has to do is win Game 3 and then we have a series.....its not like these first 2 games were blowouts.....

Series isn't over yet but I think the Panthers have shown when they are at their best they are the superior team. Tonight was complete domination start to finish.

It’s over.

Sad but true.

 

[Telos]

Florida got exactly what they needed, but if the the Oilers needed anything to grab onto and build on, they got their shot in there before the buzzer. It fundamentally changes the dynamic of the series and will cause Florida to retaliate. Edmonton is hoping for it. Hopefully, Florida is smart to close out the rest of the series than give the NHL an excuse to hand the Oilers powerplay minutes at will.

 

[CashMash]

I hope both players are on the ice for game 3. No excuses. But if Barkov is injured to the point of not playing, Draisaitl should be out too... otherwise, it would feel like the NHL is indirectly rewarding dirty plays. That was as intentional as intentional gets.

 

[TheFurryPickle]

can see a sweep coming up, Florida are too good and ready, edm are like montreal when they played TB in the cup a few years back...

correy perry for 4 losing cup teams.. wow.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Unlike Game 1, Florida was the better team last night and Bob is still playing like Bob. Pretty much worst case scenario for Edmonton if Florida plays like this moving forward.

 

[David71]

with nurse out. barely played. maybe 2-3 shifts. guess ceci draws back in. overplaying bouchard/ekholm to exhaustion will be bad. the top guys need to wake up.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

How did Edmonton even make it to the finals? Serious question.

 

[Kuz]

How did Edmonton even make it to the finals? Serious question.

When McDavid+Drai is at their best they can carry the team.

 

[JP Mick]

Going to be bloody in game 3 if the league doesn't step in.

oh no!

Big mistake getting Perry

 

[winnipegger]

1 goal in two games ain't gonna cut it Edmonton. Even though I hate players getting injured I like that there's some legit bad blood. I could use a 90s style red wings avalanche brawling.

Panthers always start new series out slow, especially with a long lay off. It was evident in game 1, in the 3rd period, that they were starting to play their game, as they played better defensively, and held the Oilers to 7 shots.

We expected them to be more themselves in Game 2, which they were, as the game was dictated by their play. This is how the Panthers played all playoffs long, and will play for the rest of the series. Get used to it, Edmonton.

But hey, I know I know, you've heard this all before in the Dallas series

 

[mattihp]

McDavid 2gp 0g 1 assist.

If he had emotions he would hate Barkov

 

[Devonator]

It’s over.

I don't think you can say that about a team that has the best player on the planet.....though I myself picked Florida in 6, I am not ready to bury the Oilers yet....granted if they lose game 3, then yes....it is over....

 

[Stelio Kontos]

If Barkov is out for the series the Panthers need to also take out either McDavid or Drai to have any chance of winning the Cup. It will be interesting

Well the Panthers sure have the players to do it

 

[King 88]

To the Oilers fans in this thread defending Draisaitl, if Tkachuk made that same play on McDavid and he went to the room and missed the rest of the game, how would you feel?

I already know the answer, but I’m just putting that out there.

You guys would be absolutely SCREAMING for a suspension

We dont like reality here.

 

[NotCommitted]

Said I was disappointed by Panthers game 1. Game 2, they looked much better, however.

Oilers need to be much better in game 3, although if Barkov is out then that might make things more complicated than they seem.

If Barkov is out the Panthers will be hell bent on winning game 3 for him.

If they are failing in that, things might get really ugly, even more so if Drai is not suspended.

 

[Three On Zero]

Big mistake getting Perry

And Carrick and Henrique and Kane.

I mean they still have a chance to win the series but Holland collected too many bottom 6 players instead of another defenceman or top 6 winger

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Drai needs to be suspended. This league is a joke.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

There is no comparison between the two plays, unless Barkov would’ve stuck his fist into the onrushing draisaitl. Just stop with this bullshit whatabout whatabout whatabout.

Lol, all is fair in love and war though, right?

What comes around goes around pal, just ask Marchand.

So McDavid is fair game going forward, because of what happened between Bennett and Marchand in round 2? Next up, running goalies. Whoever wins, it'll be a 4th liner hoisting the cup because everyone else is injured?
