Tampa fan here, cry me a river Panthers. You loved it when Maurice had 3 goals pulled down versus Tampa. Yeah, those didn't impact the series. Maybe Maurice should ask Cooper how he dealt with it. But since this was only one goal...

I'm not a Panthers fan. Point was this is a decisive moment in the game & despite saying it at the time (along with the missed calls b4 the 3-0 goal being as big) I was criticized, so I found it interesting that an American national writer who picked the Oilers to win the cup at the beginning of the season saw the same thing that I saw.

Both calls & non-calls can make a difference this time of year, Bruins fans saw it in game 5 2019 for example.

Congratz on the cup Oilers

I feel like Maurice is coming across as a coach who cannot adjust. And him saying stuff like "I'm not really coaching, it's all the guys out there" makes me feel like he's not going to adjust, either.

He's adjusted by inserting Lomberg and Cousins and putting them out there in baffling key situations, along with OEL.

 

[Grigowski]

Cup goes to Edmonton and this finals will make history: The Oilers for the reverse-sweep in a final, and Panthers for the biggest f***-up in Stanley-Cup History.

Panthers are done.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Wow, just wow.

Wow.

Did not expect this.

My goodness this is wild.

 

[eco's bones]

The offside rule videos have been going for a long time. It's there for everyone and pretty much always works the same. Any fan of any team around the league has seen any number of goals called back season in and season out. We're going to change now? in the middle of the Stanley Cup finals? How would that be fair? Changing it now would actually be blatantly unfair and FWIW I don't think the NHL should change these video recall of goals at all. It's one of the few constraints on on ice officials that force them kind of to get something right at least most of the time.

 

[The don godfather]

If they can't withstand that, my sympathies.

GO OILERS!

Hope panthers smash them at home. All this work for not is quite crippling too.

 

[LuGBuG]

If this franchise fans are gift wrapped 2 of the top 3 players of all time and then the greatest comeback of all time…. That’s just not fair

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

One of these teams and their fans are going to be crushed Monday night. Either we'll have an epic collapse or a team falling just short of an epic comeback. I pre-feel bad for the losing team.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Week or so ago someone tried to post a thread about Panthers choke job. Maybe he was right after all?

 

[The Management]

Went to bed just before the third. Woke up and asked Paul if he could tell me the score:

So many jokes instantly open up if he loses game 7.

 

[Panthaz89]

Who gives a shit what an opposing coach thinks?

Not even sure what people are riled up about....I thought it was offside long before the challenge came up.

 

[Firsov99]

It’s unclear how Florida can win game 7. Anything can happen in one game of course, but the Oil has been absolutely relentless in the last three games, and Florida has not had any answers. Not even close.

I can’t imagine how devastating this loss could be to the Panthers’ franchise. How do you even recover from something like this? This type of comebacks virtually never happen at this level.

To be fair, I think this « I’m not really coaching » thing is a cliché that every coaches would say.

And I think it’s also true anyways. Or it should be at least.

 

[Chet Manley]

It's pretty ridiculous to think either team has a clear advantage on Monday. Just really hope it's a good, fair game that everyone watching can appreciate.

"First of all I hate it, its another one of these couple of pixels type of calls that takes a good goal off the board, its the danger of having offside reviews... (blurb about the infamous Duchene goal)

"It cannot be stressed enough how much of a pivot point in this game this was, and both teams talked about it. This was a moment in which the Panthers responded 10 seconds after Adam Henriques goal, to cut the lead to 2-1, Maurice said "thats the spark we needed" and they didn't get it. They got it taken off the board, its a 2-0 game again, Hyman scores late in the period 3-0 and were going back to Sunrise at that point so..

Whether you agree with the call or disagree agree with the call...... it doesnt matter, it truly was the pivot point in the game in my opinion, because you could feel the Panthers could've pushed after that & found their game, and it sapped their energy I think after getting that call taken off the board"

- Greg Wyshynski, 'the drop post game'

Just wanted to post this for the Oilers fans that gave me crap in the GDT for saying - from an analysis POV - that this was the moment in which the Panthers lost the game (@Oilslick941611)

That was definitely the moment the game looked the closest. They had jump after 2-0, and seemed to be deflated after the goal was reversed.

Oilers go up 1-0, that Hyman goal, Panthers anemic PP, and it's goodnight. The game was barely competitive. Florida at least looked and played desperate, but not good nor organized in any way.

Meh, it's not that dramatic. It would be a brutal way to lose for the fans, no doubt, but losing in the finals, even like this, is still better for overall fan interest than not making it at all.

 

[The don godfather]

Cats are lucky to get a 4th shot here. Think they will seize it.

 

[Summer Rose]

I'd love to see overtime on Monday night, with the Panthers winning.

 

[Zerotonine]

anyone know what the Vegas odds were for Edmonton winning it all after game 3?

11-1

 

[JoVel]

My biggest question is how does the Oilers winning the Cup change the "Bettman hates Canadian teams" narrative.

A. Bettman has changed his mind and now loves Canada
B. Bettman let a Canadian team win one Cup to hide his hatred
C. Oilers won the Cup despite Bettman trying to prevent it from happening

Who are we talking about here?

 

[Zerotonine]

Even though I don't think it would have changed the outcome at the end of the game but this shit needs to get removed from reviews.
