I get that hating on the Oilers is a thing, but I think they deserve a little more credit. They are a damn good hockey team. Best team in the NHL from Nov. on after a horrible start, and their PK and PP were elite in the playoffs before this series.
I know they beat the Canucks without Demko, but they clearly outplayed Van for most of that series, then they had to deal with Dallas. They can only play who is put in front of them. Their goaltending and D are just not good enough.
They are getting taken to the woodshed in this series, but honestly, this is Florida's time. They've been once of the best teams in the league the last three years, and I'm not sure anyone in the West would have given them a serious run for their money. They are dialled in after last year, and Barkov is just all-world.

While I agree, it'll come down to who the voters think the difference maker is between he and Barkov. Based on how McDavid and Draisaitl 's offence has dried up, I think Barkov has a pretty good chance.
Nill should be ashamed of himself.
Imagine building a team that got beat by these Oilers.

Didn’t even need to stoop to their level. Just a pure beatdown last night.
Glad I picked a sweep.

We tried talking stats and having a real hockey discussion with your fanbase before the series started, we were shot down, ridiculed, told there would be no chance of any of the things that are happening right now in the series of ever happening. Destiny, the East is Least etc, etc.
Not you specifically as you are one of the few good ones, but all the fans running their mouths have up and left you to face it alone. And you still want the right to chirp us?
People always trying to play up our supposed attendance issues, but looks like from that list provided, the most empty seats on average belong to the Oilers and their faithful.

My wife came back
Easily the worst Stanley cup final in recent memory. Congrats Florida. Happy for you to finally get a win a cup
If there was ever an example of why the playoff seeding needs to be changed it’s this Cup Final. Mismatches like this aren’t good for the game.

Only one team has come back from being down 0-3 in the cup final in the last 82 years. As confident as the Oilers are in pulling off 4 straight wins against a team that they have yet to beat once this year, that streak isn't going to be ending this year.
All 7 games he was blessed with goaltending clinics to boot
First helleybuch and now Bobrovsky

The thing is, I think Drai will sign for less than market value. Why not? He's playing with the best player in the world. I don't think putting up these numbers anywhere else.
Then again, I'm not 100% convinced McDavid will stay in Edmonton. Nothing to do with the city or anything. He's just going to get a blank cheque is will get to choose where he wants to play.
Just my personal take.

If the Oilers lose, he'll be the first player in NHL history to lose in the finals with four different teams.
The worst from a competitive point of view but lots to like in terms of skill and effort and a total team effort from the Panthers. They had a tough road to the SCF and are still dominating. Bob and Barkov, in particular have been a treat to watch. Fans who haven’t seen a lot of Barkov are realizing just how elite this guy really is at shutting down the Oilers’ superstars.

Let's be fair to Treliving, most of hfboards thought Florida got fleeced in the trade.
(The following post is not copium by the way, I have receipts)
I'm just happy that we are losing to a team I don't hate.
Have always wanted the Panthers to win one, as I usually cheer for cupless teams (Except Canucks can still go f*** themselves).
Really hoped that the Panthers would have won last year (Knights can also go f*** themselves)
And I'm happy for many of the players. Even Tkachuk, I didn't even dislike him after he left Cowpietown. Great player and it will be nice for him to share championship trophies with his buddy Tatum.
Panthers are a juggernaut this year. Add another notch to the "Oilers lose to eventual cup champions" ticker.

Not forget Nurse was Worse and Ceci was Feces.
You are correct. All the teams in the west should have been the bottom seeds.

Seems almost inevitable now. As an Oilers fan, I have to praise the Panthers. They look like a team that won’t be denied. Playing a patient counterstrike game and capitalizing when they have a chance. Bob should be the Conn Smythe winner in my books but certainly Barkov should get mention. Total team buy-in and execution. I don’t believe any narrative that the Oilers have outplayed the Panthers in any three of the games. I see a total team buy-in and determination to win
This Oilers team man. Seems they need a good sweeping to learn to get over a hurdle.
Put Nurse on the Panthers and let’s see how well you do.

I'm not sure he signs for less. The Oilers already have him a on a good deal. My guess is Leon will be looking to get paid too.
McDavid gets league max wherever he goes, which will likely handcuff that team.
if we pull it off, we deserve it after watching vegas drop NINE goals on us to finish it

I’ll say it here as well but can we stop with the idea of that Edmonton would be leading the series if the goalies were changed?
Edmonton has nothing on Florida defensively, nothing
Florida has full buy in from their players
Florida’s lineup is full of 2way forwards
Floridas Dmen can clear the damm zone
