Florida had to lose last year in the Finals to be in the position they are in now.

Oilers will learn from this years Cup run

Last two teams to win a SC after losing in the finals the year before:

08/09: Pittsburgh
83/84: Edmonton

If Florida wins one more game in the next four you can add them to the list.

The likelihood Edmonton returns to the finals next year is low and things don't get any easier with Brown's carryover cap hit on the books. Not to mention Draisaitl and McDavid won't be any cheaper to keep around when they both likely re-sign.

imagine being a team that lost to these "frauds"...

Hey! Good to see you’re still ok bud. Missed you after the game. Stay well!

I was here and posted after last night's game! you must've missed it!

At the end of the day it is refreshing to see where the 2 finalists sit. I think the majority of us can agree on that....

I sure did. You disappeared mighty quick. Just honestly worried about you.
Good to see you’re ok!

Barkov is more complete, but Bure was more impactful. Defense isn't everything, for every amount of defense Barkov has on Bure, there is at least an equal amount of offense and scoring ability in Bure that offsets the disparity.

There’s absolutely no way you can say that

Bure is objectively less impactful if Barkov ends the weekend with a Cup and a Smythe lol

Bure was hella more exciting to watch though....

Reverse sweep incoming - Oilers in 7!

faaaawk.......what would the payout be on that?

True that. But a Bure on good knees was a sight to behold.

 

[Laus723]

Let’s be real, a handful of teams, at most, would survive if they had the shitty history the Panthers had. These people that want to talk shit about the past attendance, don’t know shit about anything. They just use the same corny ass joke, as if they think it hurts us or something.

The uneducated will be forever uneducated, they don’t care to actually be taught. See the Edmonton fan laughing at my post. Can’t say that I’m surprised, though.

Boys, I love Bure, but Barkov is an absolute animal this year and that is absolutely no knock against him

Barkov leads the team for points and on top of it is the best defensive player in the league and beast mode in these playoffs

Sorry but Bure wouldn’t top that

I would have said:

"We have to play better, every player from the top down. Every player, every shift, every board battle we have to fight like its our last.

Also, we gotta do a better job of getting our balls on the crest. Corey Perry does a great job of it. Super saggy balls, he barely has to squat down to get contact. Nice to have a vet leading the way for the younger guys. Some of them have been a bit too shy. Hell, McDavid still showers in a bathing suit so we got some work to do until Saturday night."

*a la Buffalo Bill*

"It puts the balls upon the crest
or else our team is 2nd best"

It was worth the trade off of seeing the Oilers beat the Stars only to lose in the final.

The deeper you go, the more it hurts when you lose. There will be lots of tears to be shed on the Oilers and hopefully it's tomorrow night on Edmonton soil, so all the fans have to bear witnessing it.

I'd expect a lot of trash to be tossed onto the ice from the fans.

It still sucks to think about 2013 and 2019 for me. I would really have wanted Rask to get one. 2013 stings less because it was prime Chicago.

Bure COULDN'T top that

Yeah. It's not like the depth and talent level of this Panthers team has any effect on Barkov winning the Cup and possibly the Smythe.

That's ridiculous. Bure's 94 run was significantly more impressive than Barkov's current run.

 

[Zerotonine]

faaaawk.......what would the payout be on that?

It's only 11-1 right now. That's fishy as fock for something that's happened 4 x In 100 years

 

[Zerotonine]

Just for those wondering Bob is having the best Stanley cup performance in history for a goalie.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

It's almost like all media employees (except Bieksa) are paid to gaslight everyone into believing that McDavid is the greatest.

I have to say Bieksa being the only realist in the media was a bit shocking.

The media is treating it like this series could be 3-0 Edmonton.

Hey mods - where's the "change my vote" option on the poll?

Asking for a friend.

Ah yes, Bure’s famous 94 run with the Florida Panthers

Maybe try reading what you’re replying to?

Barkov has been awesome, though I think Bob probably wins the Conn Smythe. And Bure's run in 94 with the Canucks was epic. Just very different players, no shade on either of them.
