The last time McDavid played Tkachuk in the playoffs he chased him to Florida. When he beats him again this year does Tkachuk run to the KHL?

Well, he’s not bringing the Flames with him this time...

 

[T REX]

Oilers are going to decimate the Panthers.

McDavid will score double digit points.

Oilers in 5

If only they force posters to declare the team they cheer for... can't speak for all but willing to bet that 98% of Oilers fans know finals will be very tough for Oilers.. the ones boasting here making silly claims are fans of other teams... you will just have to check their post history before assuming they are Oilers fans

the above guy is yours? yes or no?

"Oiler fans, stop talking about the Canucks!!!"

I’ve given you goofs enough compliments. Now is karma time for cheering against Canada’s Team in 2011.

 

[Bizzare]

I am Canadian, so Celsius is no problem for me either, however you want to calculate it, is fine for me

Well, it was more around ~20 vs ~70.

Or responding to it, either way works

[Killer Orcas]

Looking forward to a great series 2 teams that can both push the play. Should make for an entertaining final great for everyone to watch.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Will be interesting with nearly a weeks rest to heal some owies and rest some aches.

I personally don't like the long wait, the delay causes some of the playoff excitement to fade IMHO...

Took you a few minutes to look that up, no shame in it

Boston was Canada's team.

This is quite a match up. Oilers have the top end stars and closed out a tough Dallas team, but the cats have the experience of losing last year, and they have more depth. Tough one to call. Should be very interesting watching how it plays out in the end. My guess is cats in 6 but I will be cheering for the Oilers to pull it off.

 

[Ol' Jase]

There are some good story lines to this series, for sure.

While there is no natural rivalry between these two teams, there is a ton of history between the Oilers and Tkachuk.

The special teams battle is obvious. Florida being so physical will be something to watch.

Barkov vs. McDavid. Best defensive forward vs. best offensive player.

And travel will be a factor. Edmonton will have much more of an advantage adapting to the travel schedule.

Agreed.

The wait creates this reset that negates so many factors behind winning the most difficult trophy in sport.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Im looking forward to the painful heartbreak for the Oilers that’s about to come. They are in for a rude awakening.

I’m certain you said this exact thing about Dallas, Flames fan now on your fourth bandwagon.

Florida’s gonna be tough. Very good team, lots of depth, much more tough and physical than Dallas.

Oil in 6

Yikes.

 

[Chaos2k7]

We have 6 days to get these threads on the actual Cup Finalists, I believe we can do it!

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

You guys have 3 Cups, how bad could it be, lol?

The little brother mentality is strong with the Florida crowd. They are quite obnoxious now lmao.

 

[T-Funk]

the above guy is yours? yes or no?

Never seen him.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Agreed.

Exactly, injuries, momentum, rhythm, etc is all disrupted...the finals are like a separate tournament within a tournament now.

 

[MMANumminen]

I will root for The Panthers becasue there are many Finns. If Oilers win I am happy that Canada finally gets a Stanley Cup.

I think McDavid and the Turtles will not last against Florida Panthers so Florida 4-2.

One thing that is sure is that this will be epic entertainment

 

[snipes]

FYI Florida went 2-0 and outscored Edmonton 10-4 in the two matchups this year

Means nothing.

Nah, was considering if I wanted to get into a conversation that would put me back in English class. Then I realized I’m on a hockey forum.

Converting between metric and imperial has never been an issue for me.

 

[Banjo Cat]

Wish we didn't have to wait so long.

This is what sucks about the conference finals and the cup finals, there is just so much less hockey to watch. During first two rounds you have your choice of games to watch every night.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

I’m certain you said this exact thing about Dallas, Flames fan now on your fourth bandwagon.

Florida’s gonna be tough. Very good team, lots of depth, much more tough and physical than Dallas.

Oil in 6

I'll give the Oilers props, they have exceeded all my expectations...the finals is a total toss up IMHO.

 

[snipes]

The Oilers are only here because of Hyman’s dad.
