Yup figured out that point blank chances and odd man rushes go in.
I mean, that is how the majority of goals are scored in this league.....
for Florida to win, they're top have will have to score some goals and they need to score first. For Edmonton to win, they need to score first which they have the past three games and then make they're speed put florida on their heels. The team that imposes their will on the other will win game 7 and the Cup. Between the two, Florida has the tougher task but it can be done.
So it’s almost like they didn’t figure it out. And that they are just outplaying Florida!
Overtime when you're up 4 heading into the 3rd?
Honestly think if someone gets a real quick goal in the first few minutes it demoralizes the other team and down hill from there

I suspect this is going to be another blowout for Edmonton. Florida is finished. Hopefully, this loss knocks them back to irrelevance where they deserve.
Have to feel Kane will lobby to get in.. who would you take out? (I wouldn't make a change even though I don't have great faith in stonehands Foegle)
What will Florida do lineup wise?

Only one i can see coming out is perry, but knoblach hasn't changed lineups after Ws.....

Not a chance Foegele is out. He sat a bunch of games and has an energy advantage. Plus he's healthy. Plus he scored last game.
The 4th line is McLeod-Ryan-Perry. If Kane comes back it will be for one of them

Up by four goals heading in the third, yeah, I'd say roll the lines to keep it steady hopefully. But if the Oilers are behind you have to play the big guns a lot, of course.

Losing in the SB 4 years in a row isn't necessarily choking. Three of those losses were too far superior teams.

What kind of goals do you think Edmonton should be allowed to score?

My argument is kinda the same. Oilers were playing with nothing to lose last few games. but this time its so called "their cup" to lose with 3 wins on the trot. They might start nervous and give up early goals. Atleast thats my prediction. TBD of course
Yes, i agree.
Momentum can shift within a game even,.particularly if a team had a significant stretch of success in their favor. It could be any of a number of things: a series of huge saves, an unlucky goal or two against, a big hit on a key player that seems to put them on their heels over a significant portion of a period etc.
I remember my Flames in the 2022 playoffs where we won a brutal dog-fight against Dallas and a red-hot brick wall in Oettinger. We were riding high and took that into the 2nd round against the Oilers. Game 1 we beat them 9-6 and we looked like we were going to cut through them like hot butter having a high-flying offensive squad of our own. Then in the following game we ran into some penalty calls, Markstrom got rattled (made some bad behind the net decisions and then became a sieve), and Oilers were ignited. It looked like someone popped our balloon. Most of the guys looked suddenly cooked. And the Oilers the opposite.
My point with the above is Oilers are flying high. But the series is tied and going into a Florida for a 1 game winner take all. And the Panthers are not a joke team. Yeah if they don't show up firing on all cylinders and focused they're screwed. But if they put up a stand, don't take penalties and maybe get a little luck following a good gameplan they can surprise a lot of people and win at home.

I'm too old for this.
I like your style. I too am rooting for this now, and chaos. Chaos and mayhem.

I would bring back Kane in a heart beat if he got healthier. It would be big boost. Henrique was awful when we played him too early but was a great contributor when he improved. Sitting him made a lot of sense, and it still makes sense for Kane if hes still injured. But still, I'd bet next game Florida will rough it up. Kane helps there
I don't know how Kane is now. Knoblauch does.
ok. I'm cool with that . But the original post the two center captains form each club.
Ya want to change it To Connor vs Bob ....sure. I agree.
Team who scores First goal wins this game
I wouldn't want to change anything, but if a change were to be made, it would Sammy Snowpants in and Doc out.
I kinda agree esp if it's a quick goal
If edmonton pops one quick it's over and I think will kill Florida mentally. They haven't had a lead since game 3
If Florida score first and takes the lead out might give them confidence to keep going

No kidding. I wouldn't play Gagner even if we were up 3-0 in the series and going into game 4
Maybe it would work out. Chances are, it would. Knoblauch has his job on the line though. If he makes a choice like that and it costs us the cup, that one choice will get him fired. He doesn't get the luxury of armchair GMing
