Over/under on how many times we will hear people complain about the scheduling, the long break before Game 6 on Friday, and how the season should be over already because it is Summer?

The three day gaps are killing me. I wanna see what happens next! 
Next Monday, we are going to get to see Corey Perry skating around hoisting the Stanley Cup.

It is still so unlikely that the Oilers will win this, and I have fully accepted it as much as possible.
But tonight, Florida did “deserve” to win. They played well enough that they win that game 90+% of the time.
The only difference I see between the first game in Florida compared to tonight was Bob. The Oilers looked pretty much identical for the first 30 minutes against Florida as they did tonight, but Bob got in their head. That won’t happen again.

"Deserve's got nothin' to do with it."
You win games or you don't. That was the case for the Oilers and that is the case now.

What's Bob's sv % in the last 7 quarters?
It's bad. Real bad. Is he broken? He may be

Oilers look like the better team, likely have figured the Panthers out, toss up now who wins this 3-2 series, the Oilers are coming strong

Eh, I dunno. That game was 3-0 before the Panthers showed a pulse. They finished the game with a few more HDCF than Edmonton. I thought it was a similar to the Oilers in game 3.
Bobrovsky is broken.
The Oilers solved him when they finally took Ron MacLean's advice and started shooting the puck off the ice.
Ron MacLean has won the Stanley Cup for Canada.

Meh. That’s hockey. If “should be” was how hockey was determined the series would look a lot different.

Panthers have no answers for anything the Oilers are throwing at them.
Maurice is who I’ve always said he was, a snake oil salesman that can’t get the job done when it matters most.
And just like his Dad, Matthew Tkachuk won’t ever win a damn thing in the playoffs.
Prediction for game 6 is
Oilers 3
Panthers 0

It's exactly as unlikely as winning two in a row vs Florida.
Edit: history gives us about a 20% chance

But I reckon our chances are a bit better.

The Panthers "deserved to win..." maybe after the 30 minute mark at best. You don't go down 3-0 after getting spanked up and down the ice a game ago and deserve anything. They've basically shown up for 30 minutes out of 90 so far and let the Oilers back into a series they looked dead in.
Same, brother.
Like I said a couple posts ago... The three day waits are killing me.
I want Barkov to win because I am Finnish, but I won't even be mad if the Oilers win it after being down 0-3. There are no excuses for that if the Panthers let it slip through their fingers. Better team win and it's meant to be.
I wish Pulju had panned out. Was so happy the day the Oilers drafted him after his dominance in Junior tournaments. Even followed the Oilers for a while and stayed up to see McDavid score 100 for the first time.

I'm rooting for Fla but my philosophy is and always has been simple. If you don't score more goals you don't deserve anything

My take as well - very similar to game 3, but Stu was better than Bob tonight. Also McDavid played arguably his best game of the playoffs too.
Game 1 - advantage Oilers
Game 2 - advantage Panthers
Game 3 - coin flip
Game 4 - Oilers
Game 5 - coin flip
In all honesty, 3-2 is exactly where this series should be right now. Obviously hoping for an Oilers win in game 6, but don't kid yourselves - Panthers absolutely have the advantage in this series still. Chin up Cats fans - you got a great team over there. As much as dislike playing against Tkachuckles and Bennett, it wouldn't be so bad seeing your fanbase and team get their first cup ever either.
Yeah. Losing in the finals 2 years in a row would suck, though.

That game felt like Game 3 but in reverse. Home team down by 3 and fighting back to make it close. The Oilers carried that momentum into the next two games. Interested to see if the Panthers do the same. They looked lifeless for a game and a half.
