I have a hard time believing the Oil can comeback down two. The Cats play too structured, are too good defensively, and know how to get things done. That said, still hoping it goes to 7.

If they win at home then it becomes a best of three. Who knows how they respond being desperate for a win? If they go down 3-0 then they're cooked.

If they go down 3-1, they're cooked as well. They have to win both games to have a realistic shot.

Part of what you are perceiving as a lack of respect for the Panthers is the fact that Oilers fans have an especially intense love hate relationship with their team -

And the other part is from the disrespectful things actually said. Shitting on Forsling, dissing FL’s third line because of “points”, doubting)dismissing whether Barkov could have any effect at slowing down the production of McDavid. Pissing on the idea that FL was a deep team, because “heard that about Dallas....”. Saying Bennett was nothing because of three + years ago in Calgary. The list goes on....

The wasn't just an arm around the neck holding the guy back. He was strangling him. He was tapping out for Christ's sake!! f***, just look at his eyes!! THAT does not happen all the time. Take off your Oilers hate goggles and be a normal human about it.

That play was so funny. Even Oilers fans were laughing

"Adin Hill was 11-4-0 in 16 games with a goals against average of 2.17 and a save percentage of . 932 in the 2023 playoffs. He won his first Stanley Cup."

"Darcy Kuemper was 10-4-0 in 16 games with a goals against average of 2.57 and a save percentage of .902 in the 2022 playoffs"

This is Monday morning quarterbacking. OBVIOUSLY they ended up winning the Stanley Cup. But very few people believed they had it in them and that you can win the Cup with such unproven netminders.

Forsling would look great in Edmonton now, wouldn't he?

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Forsling would look great in Edmonton now, wouldn't he?

He’d be their best defenseman.

 

[OilerTitanFan]

Dear Florida, i just want to again reassure you that Edmonton does not have the support of Canada. Do not rope the rest of us in with them.

I want to reassure you that oilers fans don't care about what you think.

Forsling would look great in Edmonton now, wouldn't he?

So would Makar.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Forsling would look great in Edmonton now, wouldn't he?

And he was acquired on waivers by Florida. So he could have been picked up for free.
Drafted by Benning and then traded for nothing.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Most panthers fans I saw at that point were like "yeah he should probably get something for that."

I didn't see too many arguing it was OK.

and the NHL thought it was ok
thats my point

 

[Three On Zero]

I want to reassure you that oilers fans don't care about what you think.

Your reply would say otherwise

 

[chaser17]

Excited to see the energy Oil Country brings for games 3 & 4. Gonna be a major X factor and the fellas need the energy badly. Still holding out hope I can keep my kidney to get in the building for a game.

 

[OilerTitanFan]

Your reply would say otherwise

You replied so it sounds like you care to some extent. If you didn't care, you wouldn't be here.

BTW. Since Forsling joined the Panthers, his +/- is highest of all players in the NHL (2020 - 2024) reg+po.
His magic number is +162 (330 games)

+162


That's just 38 out of +200
That is crazy high +/-

 

[OilerTitanFan]

This thread goes worse and worse every day, the number negative post is overwhelming,
i have never read such a toxic waste land thread before, yuck!.

I know its not news worthy here in hfboards, the most toxic place in internet sports message boards
but this is just too much... sorry for you both Panthers and Oilers fans who actually are or try to be civil.

Did you expect something different? It is hockey fans.

It wasn't a "play"....but whatever.

Interestingly enough, he and Ekholm have almost identical statlines over the past 2 seasons, #1 & #2 in +/-.

 

[HugginThePost]

Now think of their reaction if the Oilers are eliminated at home.

All I want to see is Chucky skating the Cup around their ice.

That would be epic..........

 

[NotCommitted]

the fact people thought Draisaitl was gonna get disciplined for his hit when Bennett received nothing for his hit to Marchand is something else
I'm betting Barkov plays Thursday...Marchand missed a few games

Wanting something to happen and thinking it actually will are two different things

 

[CashMash]

Yup. I mean, the penalty is an indication that it was an illegal hit. For all the lip service the NHL gives to the idea of "head shots shouldn't be in the game" they sure do nothing about it.

"B-b-but Bennett!"

Come up with whatever excuse you want. It's still a dirty hit.

But according to them Barkov dove and Panthers just kept him off the game to make a show..

The best defensive forward in the game when Edmonton still had a chance to get back

It needs a dose of "Hooray for Everything", stat!

 

[Straight Fire]

I'm.nervous to watch game 3.

Now post Nurse's number out of 330 games.
