doubt they will tbh, Oilers are the first team they're playing who are actually more physically dominant than they are + have a powerplay to punish

weak. make a claim and stick to it

Have not made a prediction yet still doing homework……the storylines are endless.

 

[PuckG]

Reality is going to hit you right in the face and you know it Oilers fans have your fun now you are scared and it’s obvious and when we wear you down you will blame the refs call us dirty but you are going to lose. Sorry

Have not made a prediction yet still doing homework……

You sure?

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Washington, Blues and Colorado all won their first time with the current team

3/6

You're really looking at St. Louis and hoping the Oilers can do the same. Washington and Vegas got easier opponent who hadn't been in the finals before.

 

[CanePanther]

You sure?

I love my Panthers and find the team to have tremendous confidence which is what we want. But this looks to be an opponent that has everything going for it. Not to say we don’t. Pretty scary

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

So was Dallas.

Owners? like the billionaires that know nothing about hockey? Ok...… And show me evidence of ALL the head coaches across the league stating that the Panthers are the heavy favorites, I'll be expecting 32 individual links. I find it odd that Knoblauch would be calling the Panthers favorites as well, but you said all head coaches so.....lets see dem links

you realize Bennett played against the Oilers more than any other team for the vast majority of his career right? If you think he's some kind of secret weapon the Florida is going to "unleash" on the Oilers, you will be very disappointed.

Lmao yeah those guys who don’t know anything about hockey.

And the coaches? Do they too know nothing about hockey?

You’ll see. Bennett is gonna light someone up.

What I thought I saw last game was just the edmonton crowd singing in unison now that was impressive. By far the Canadian National Anthem is hands apart better than our in my opinion.

That is really cool, most Canadian crowds sing loudly, and the singer will let them take over. I like how Edmonton puts him somewhere up in the crowd. And maybe it comes from being a hockey nut from earliest days living in the Buffalo area, but, I agree that the Canadian anthem is great.

What comments specifically?

Most of what I'm seeing is acknowledgement that it'll be a tough series but hoping we'll win. I assume Panthers fans are the same.

Early in the thread some were saying that Dallas has heavier forecheck, that the Panthers take a lot of penalties after the whistle, Vancouver hits more,... There was an other comical one, but I can't remember it.

 

[Cup or Bust]

There is alot of hyperbole here. I think you're being too sensitive, Florida is the favorite and should be. Other than L.A both teams faced tough matchups to get to where they are at and both are deserving.

Hopefullly the Oilers D core can handle Floridas heavy forcheck. If they can it will be a series if not it could be over quick. I am cheering for the Oilers, I want Mcdavid to win I want a rabid fanbase to enjoy a Stanley Cup.

I am not sensitive at all. Just being sarcastic and making fun of some of the trolls on this site.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Right, Dallas was touted as the deepest and most complete team in the NHL until Edmonton eliminated them.

I'd love for someone to make an argument when it comes to how exactly Florida is deeper than Dallas.

Florida's goaltending is better than Dallas'.
Barkov's line is stronger than Dallas' top line, and Barkov has limited opponent offenses at a crazy rate.
Coaching is a bit of a wash, but Maurice gets an edge.
Overall though the Panthers are just so mean, like the cats they rep they will just rip you to shreds on every shift. Does that mean Edmonton should just pack it up? Of course not. But it does mean Edmonton media should probably slow down on the 3,000 word articles about their coach, because he hasn't won anything. If and when he does, that praise will be given.

they are there. Dismissive replies such as “that’s what we heard about Dallas!”.
Laughing at the idea that Forsling is actually very good. Dismissing the idea that Barkov might be able to slow down McDavid. “They’re gonna cheap shot their way to the Cup”....
There’s also a lot of what you describe, as well. Not trying to say that there aren’t some here being dismissive of the Oilers, too. This series is going to be great and highly contested. At least the Oilers are on their way to FL today. We’re getting closer to game 1!

I'm just telling you the facts man!

It was GMs, not owners, fwiw. There was an article about it posted in here yesterday, I believe.
Everybody has their own opinion

 

[soothsayer]

It’s not a matter of intimidation it’s a mater of grit that wears you down over time. Its very calculated to frustrate you and at the same time the Cats can pepper you with a deceptive offensive game that sneaks up on you. Good luck Edmonton your going to need it.

Lol oh brother. Some of these posts are going to be even more funny to read in a couple of weeks.

 

[CanePanther]

You sure?

Well you got me on that but I was speaking in retaliation. Thought 6 but looks now to possibly go 7.
Still going with the Panthers but with even more respect to the Oilers.

Cats in 7 it’s official.

well Dallas was considered the better team, and it is indeed true that we've heard almost the exact same things about Florida. not sure where the "Florida is deep" thing is coming from though given that their third line has scored seven goals through three rounds

Possibly even this one.

You don’t have to believe it.

well the oilers coach has never lost an nhl playoff series......maurice on the other hand has.... A LOT

 

[Three On Zero]

Found a parking job only @Summer Rose and @Zirakzigil would appreciate here in Iceland. Guy parked between spots and got blocked in , my abilities are rubbing off on these folks.

 

[Just Rude]

But that's fine, keep underestimating the Oilers bottom 6, goaltending and defense.. Oilers prefer it that way!

You know fans don't really have an outcome on the game, right? So if a fan "underestimates" the other team, it doesn't really impact the series?

 

[Just Rude]

Bob wasn’t great in the CF.

Did you only catch Game 3?

 

[Ratsreign]

He’s ok

He was barely tested by that soft Rags team. Only a 2 GSAX in that series as well.

This wait is unbearable
