Panthers are going to be mentioned in EVERY Big 4 league playoff series that starts 3-0 from now until the end of time.

"The only teams to come back from 0-3 in the Big 4 sports leagues:"

1942 Toronto Maple Leafs over the Detroit Red Wings.
1975 New York Islanders over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
2004 Boston Red Sox over the New York Yankees.
2010 Philadelphia Flyers over the Boston Bruins.
2014 Los Angeles Kings over the San Jose Sharks.
2024 Edmonton Oilers over the Florida Panthers.

If we isolate it to hockey and look at how many teams have forced a game 7 after being down 3-0...there are now 5 examples in the last 14 years.

It's not common but it's becoming more frequent for sure.

Adam Henrique in a game 7 in Florida? It's already wraps

What does this mean?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

it was a 5-1 game

It wasn't decided on the offside call, and if you make that argument it was a) 100% offside and b) How mentally weak and unprepared are the Panthers?

Paul Maurice may never coach in the NHL again if Florida loses this lol. He doesn't have a great record when it comes to these things.

 

[MessierII]

Florida is rattled

 

[Czechboy]

I picked Florida in 7. GL Monday.

You too. I still think the odds favor you!

Cleveland (in AHL) just did this but lost in 7 (semi's I think of Calder Cup).

Winning 4 in a row is very hard and unheard of.

How many bottled waters did Zito whip against the suite wall tonight?

The NHL veteran coach wheel always finds a home for most of them.

 

[Tebowz]

really surprised by the lack of changes from Maurice in the last 3 games

 

[Tofveve]

Next game is going to be nuts.

 

[wpgallday1960]

I hate the Oilers with a passion but have to hand it to them with the resilience shown. Panthers choking away a 3-0 lead in a SC final will be remembered for a generation (provided they lose).

 

[RattsSSV]

Panthers winning game 6.
That’s the King Woodhalls guarantee

Take it to the bank

The bank called.

 

[DKH]

Sincere question: did he actually include the word "guarantee"?
I never hunted down the real quote.
Just curious.

I don’t think so - he talks trash about everything

The pressure is on EDM to win the cup. I don´t think McDavid or Hyman can replicate a run like this.

Every psychologist will tell that nothing that has happened matters when the game starts on Monday. It´s about winning one board battle, winning one period and in the end winning one game. I hope FLA wins but I will also be happy to see Leon with the cup in Cologne. May the better team win.

Florida hasn't played an elimation game yet. Edmonton has played 5...including the last 3 straight. I think they have will have the mental advantage....regardless of what you say about psychologists

 

[Svencouver]

As long as Skinner keeps doing what he's doing, EDM has a real solid chance. You would hate to see him collapse like Bob and they get blown out like 6-1 or something. I really hope McDavid comes out possessed. He got his team back in it, tonight the team played for him and now we see if McDavid and Co. can complete this insane comeback.

Skinner has always had the ability to play really well in spurts and he's got hot at the right time. Very very temperamental goalie (and a very young one, which people forget!), but he's really settled into the occasion. Credit to the Oilers for sticking with him and giving him the confidence he's needed to keep the net.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

The NHL veteran coach wheel always finds a home for most of them.

He's already on his ninth life man, losing the SCF after going up 3-0 could kill this cat for good.

Paul Maurice may never coach in the NHL again if Florida loses this lol. He doesn't have a great record when it comes to these things.

I'm wondering if he'd retire? IIRC, he was taking time off to be with his family after leaving Winnipeg

 

[CanadienShark]

I am still in shock and awe. This is what it's all about. May the best team win. And I hope that means the Oilers.

 

[MeinerEiner]

McDavid can't replicate dominating the playoffs like he does in the regular season on way to a possible cup? X to doubt there.

He may dominate but I doubt he can replicate the numbers he put up this playoffs.

Lots of people from around Canada live in Toronto. Not all that surprising lol. That'd prob happen if it was the Canucks, for exampel.

 

[Felidae]

100%. I said this in the GDT but there's guaranteed to be one very sad fanbase on Monday. As a neutral fan it's fun.

Panthers fans will be much more devastated at a loss. Serious question, did anyone expect Oilers as a cup contender this year?

Oilers have a lot to be proud of regardless of outcome, but this was THE year for the Panthers, they'll never get a better chance than this.

 

[Andre Palot]

The Florida Panthers went from the overwhelming, white meat baby faces to full fledged heels if they win game seven.

Shades of Bret Hart V. Steve Austin in 1997

Seems like hockey is more of a team sport which allows for more variance in comparison to the other leagues.
