Mind = blown!

Don’t let these round earthers fool you

 

[super6646]

“Rooting” for Edmonton for reasons already explained. I’ll say oilers in 7 to break the cup curse.

 

[Lannes]

They beat the Kings. Kings have two ex-Flames: Cam Talbot, David Rittich.

Then they beat the Canucks. Canucks have two ex-Flames: Lindholm and Zadorov.

Then they beat the Stars. Stars have one ex-Flame: Chris Tanev.

Florida has two ex-Flames: Tkachuk and Bennett. . .

 

[VanillaCoke]

Can't see healthy Cats team losing twice in a row

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

This could have been Oilers/Rangers, so at least there's that.

 

[Jee]

Any team in seven and I'll be happy. I'm fine with either team winning, although I have a preference for Edmonton, McDavid deserves to be a Stanley Cup champion.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

If Barkov's hand isn't healed up for this series, face-offs could be a huge problem for Florida. Were a problem in the NYR series.

 

[LordBacon]

Expecting one hell of a series.
That’s all I ask for as a hockey fan.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Cats in 5.

They beat Vasi. They beat Swayman. They beat Igor.

They should beat Skinner.

 

[Zalos]

Time for a new Oilers dynasty to begin.

 

[WaW]

I'm curious as to what the attendance split will be for the games in Florida lol.

 

[BMOK33]

I wonder if those Canadiens/Leafs fans in south Florida all pull for the Panthers in this series

 

[Coffey]

Edmonton also doesn't touch it.

Sooooo the Stanley cup finals end in a draw??

 

[jigglysquishy]

I think Edmonton pulls it off. It's McDavid's time.

 

[M88K]

Cats in 5 maybe 6.

 

[Green Blank Stare]

A lot of this probably comes down to which Skinner shows up. The guy who closed out the Stars series or the one from earlier in the playoffs.

I still think Bob has meltdown potential as well.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Same old story with a Canadian team vs. a sun belt team in the SCF

Panthers in 7

No kidding, really does feel like a mid-2000s time loop.

Alberta vs Florida round 2

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Have to wonder if FLA dials back some of its rough stuff in fear of putting EDM on the PP. Playing on the edge is a big part of their game. How the refs call the series could have a pretty big influence on things. A tightly called series will favor EDM for sure.

 

[KCC]

It'll be funny to see the Edmonton defense (especially Nurse) try to contain the Panthers relentless grind.

Panthers in 6.

It will be. Fla is scary. But edm also has a lights out pk and pp and special teams is huge in the playoffs so hopefully they make it interesting. Just for the sport.

 

[Kravtsov420]

As a Ranger fan whose team was just mugged in a back alley (zibanejad still missing please contact if seen), I’ve never seen a forecheck like the panthers in my life time. I don’t think Edmonton is ready to get into how deep the panthers go into the trenches with playing on the edge and the craziest amount of interference I’ve seen

But hey hope I’m wrong, once again please contact if zibanass is seen. Panarin has to shave his pubes at this point to get rid of the demons

 

[PuckG]

It'll be funny to see the Edmonton defense (especially Nurse) try to contain the Panthers relentless grind.

Panthers in 6.

We heard about the relentless grind of the Canucks and Stars too.

 

[David71]

mcdavid winning it would be awesome to cement his legacy in edmonton. panthers are good and deep up and down the lineup with the better goalie. but edmonton playing shutdown D and pk doing well should be fine.

 

[Despote]

Oilers in 7. Florida team is scary, their forecheck is the best in the league and Oilers defence has some weak links that will struggle with that. McDavid will never be shut down but the match up between him and the best two-way player in the game in Barkov is intriguing. The Oilers PP will be lethal every time they get a chance.

Objectively I see Panthers as slight favourites, but Edmonton is definitely capable of winning this one. Should be a great series.

 

[1specter]

Like lets be honest, does anyone on fla crack the top six on edmonton?

Oilers in 4. Go bold or go home.

This is bait right? There's no way you're gonna gaslight people into believing that McLeod, RNH and Perry are better options than Verhaeghe, Reinhart or Tkachuk.
