The better goalie has won every game this series. Only chance Florida has in game 7 is if Bob gets his head out of his ass.

inb4 Oilers win 3-2 in OT after outshooting Panthers 51-14.

Florida has to bring in a sports psychologist or some meditation guru before game 7 at this point I think.

Funnily enough the Oilers brought in one of the best sports psychologists over the summer.

Man I wonder what hfboards would have been like after game 2 1993

 

[Oilslick941611]

It was way too close to declare an overturn. You don't call that BS in game 6 of the Final. Should have been 2-1 one minute into the 2nd with Florida getting some momentum.

The overhead view was pretty conclusive.

 

[Frank Drebin]

He basically said if you gave him 1,000 chances to challenge that if that was an Edmonton goal against Florida that 1,000 out of 1,000 he doesn’t challenge

You have a 5050 chance of the goal being allowed vs a 3% chance that Florida converts on the pp

Easy, easy decision

I wouldn’t be surprised if the rule gets amended in some way down the road where it’s gotta be offside by a certain margin or it won’t be called back

Just make the blue line wider then

 

[Oilslick941611]

I'm rooting for Edmonton but hopefully a call like tonight will help get offsides review out of the game.

I've said it a hundred times it's the worst rule in sports. A goal should not be called back for fractions of an inch on a bang bang play like that.

It just kills the momentum of a game, it's not what the rule was meant for. Hockey is too fast for offsides to be one hundred percent correct all the time and that's ok.

Keep it or remove offsides all together.

To say making the right call hampers the game is just idiotic.

Doesn’t change anything.

I guess if the oilers win we’ll get a *

 

[ManofSteel55]

Sort of like Maurice calling out Knoblauch for the idiocy of that challenge. That was really a dumb decision even if it was correct

Why was it dumb? He was right and the goal was called back. If he was wrong, the Oilers pk goes back in and kills another one.

Lots of whining here

Agree. People think if it doesn't "feel" like it was outside it shouldn't be offside. They would rather introduce randomness and unfairness into the game

It's either offside or not, it can not be offside by this or this...

And how are they gonna figure if that margin happend or was 2 mm short?

At the end of the day, I don't see the league saying that offside goals are OK if the offside is not too big.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Goddam I love this team

Unreal resilience

They were counted in November at 2-9-1
They were counted out in the Nucks series
They were counted out in the Dallas series
And counted out down 3-0 in this series

Yet, here they are still playing

 

[ManofSteel55]

Lots of whining here

It's the HF way.

 

[BMOK33]

My hunch for Monday is now that pressure is sort of on both sides the home ice advantage really shows and Florida wins 3-1 or something along those lines. It’ll probably be a close game the entire way though. Regardless I feel pretty bad for whoever loses now. Edmonton sort of had the easy out to just get swept or lose in 5. If I’m McDavid and never go on to win a cup my biggest regret in 25 years will probably be that my team came back to force a game 7 here. In hindsight you’d rather lose this in 4 than lose in 7

 

[Gil Gunderson]

This good be a veeery bad sign for Florida.

 

[MessierII]

He basically said if you gave him 1,000 chances to challenge that if that was an Edmonton goal against Florida that 1,000 out of 1,000 he doesn’t challenge

That’s not what he said at all though lol

They can do wonders, Marchand started seeing one around the same time he became a top player for a few seasons and iirc attributed a lot of his success to it

 

[Banjo Cat]

Sort of like Maurice calling out Knoblauch for the idiocy of that challenge. That was really a dumb decision even if it was correct

If Maurice thought an Edmonton goal was offside he would have challenged.

 

[Ol' Jase]

“You’re so dumb!! You’re totally right, but still so dumb!!”

 

[BMOK33]

“You’re so dumb!! You’re totally right, but still so dumb!!”

You can definitely make a correct decision that isn’t necessarily the right one

Well if nothing else I imagine the dude has been earning his paychecks this year. Oilers went from 31st in the league at Thanksgiving to game 7 of the SCF after being down 0-3.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

The Oilers F'd up the draft system for all the other teams on their way to getting Connor McDavid & winning the cup in historic fashion

Talk about a middle finger to the rest of the league lol

 

[Oilslick941611]

Seems like all Maurice is a fancy suit that spits out witty remarks to the press. Would rather get a pithy rejoinder in than accept the fact that his team is on the verge of a historic feat, the wrong side of that feat.

 

[BMOK33]

youve said some really atupid things in this thread, but im impressed how you top yourself with every post. Well done

I would rather lose in 4 than 7 any day of the week
