The value of experiencing the Cup last year is gigantic in that Vegas was perhaps the best team I’ve seen in years. It taught us a lot……
Does he know about the 1990s criminal case of the transgender ex-Dolphin kicker Ray FINKLE getting revenge on the team?
That team made both of us pay. Thank god they aren’t here again.

Not enough points, obviously he can’t be that good of a defenseman

I believe Kris Knoblauch said it best. Ask the Bills how much finals experience matters when it’s all said and done.
None of us in Florida have heard of this guy either. Don't get so worked up over this, Canada.
Lol I read that like you are saying ceci is one of our best players. He's actually been pretty good the last handful of games and I'm usually pretty hard on the guy

If EDM continues to play the way they are playing defensively (can get past the heavy forecheck), special teams (both) continue to ride hot and Skinner can hold the fort? This will be a long series. But if any of those fall off the map especially Skinner, this will be a very short series. Unless Pikard comes in and stands tall I suppose. He was good in his only few times these playoffs so who knows.

He doesnt even follow hockey really. He and LeBatard are more Heat fanboys than anything

Actually Fla only had 4. Bennett had 41. Dallas scored 30 more goals than Fla and Fla had 5 guys between 32-39 so I think that is relatively on par--pretending Fla would have scored the same amount of goals
I just think 1-20, Florida as a group has a bit better overall ability to roll 4 lines and 6 D and be more effective than Dallas over the course of a 7 game series
I'm not saying Fla is the '81 Islanders nor am I being disparaging towards Dallas. Maybe it comes down to coaching and the Panthers all being single minded to finishing the job from last year
I'm an Isles fan and don't have a dog in the fight. I actually picked Dallas over Edm.

For the record, I dont expect the Oilers PK to make that much of a difference here.
Because us fans want Kompon fired for our putrid PP and none of us expect any production from it.
What is it? 30 kills in a row? Chalk it up to 44 in a row lmao

Just FYI, Greg Cote is a braindead moron writing for a dead newspaper and his hockey knowledge basically amounts to "you call the black thingy a puck."
I wouldn't read anything into it.
The average HFBoards poster watches a lot of hockey. Cote probably thinks Radko Gudas is still on the team. Please don't insult your fellow posters that way.

When I think about a fat fossil who sucks at hockey related things I think of Greg Cote and Ekblad in the future
I really hope you are right and wish Edmonton wins the SC. But Florida top 6 is fast, tough and good both side of the rink. And more, guys like Bennett will do whatever it takes to win

Well excuse me. I will confess I haven't watched the oilers much this season but (even tho I'm rooting for Florida , I'm a Canes fan at the end of the day) that was my objective from watching cats/oilers in playoffs, my bet was based off of their respective playoff performances..
No disrespect to EDM. Intended.
Also the Panthers are -130v+116 currently . So I was off by a little so far, they are the current slight fav. To win series

Like I said my guesstimate was only half off , and I wasn't trying to diss oilers, my bet is based on Panthers scheme/puck control dominance in every zone. FLA looks unstoppable rn to me, they cleaned the Presidents trophy team clock. They're style is suffocating every team in these playoffs..
I confess I've watched more Florida this season but I have watched most of oilers playoff games, and I could be completelyboff and it goes the other way.

Yeah, no one is. They are definitely laughing at him. lol. He wants his 15 minutes of fame by trying to get clicks. But hey, not that McDavid needs any motivation but maybe this motivates him even more in some way. lol

It will also be a short series if Florida tries to dominate physically and get penalties. Oilers special teams will chew them up. Dallas could play clean that way because that was their identity. The Panthers play on the edge. The Oilers can absorb the punishment and dish it out, and will happily let this turn into a special teams battle. If the refs put the whistles away the Oilers can sink this series into the sewer quickly too

It's a bizarre situation where I don't think anyone on the team has basically ever interacted with Cote ever, since the Herald is a dead newspaper that doesn't cover hockey, but now all the players are gonna be stuck dealing with fallout from this.
I hope one of the guys goes off on this putz.
Our breakaways are someone at the end of the shift who can't breakaway or Ekblad at any point of his shift who can't breakaway
Lol. So same stuff with different jerseysOur breakaways are someone at the end of the shift who can't breakaway or Ekblad at any point of his shift who can't breakaway

Barkov worries me, Bob worries me, but Bennet just doesn’t worry me at all. Last time he faced the Oilers both him and Chucky were completely neutralized after game 1. There are things to be worried about on the Panthers but personally I don’t include Sam Bennet in that category.
