SCF Game 1: Matthew Tkachuk Friendship Tour: Coming soon to an arena near you!

[Kryten]

It's a joke. He's a Finn with Russian blood. Hence the kov.

 

[robertocarlos]

Can Caitlin Clark skate ?

I think that's why she was cut.

 

[Old Boys Club]

I love hockey man, it’s such an awesome sport, I worship does grow parabolically one day like the WNBA, and more people really enjoy this game

Won't happen. Basketball is heavily saturated in American pop-media, no one gives a f*** about hockey. Just be happy we fans can share this incredible sport.

Botterill propping Bennett with footage and description well

 

[Ol' Jase]

Are oilers fans ok?

Sure. It’s been a really good game.

 

[ijuka]

Dunno, pretty disappointed in Panthers so far. Weren't they always the team that would dominate in chances and shot attempts? This first game might well be their win but if this is how it's going to be, Oilers will probably win by game 6.

 

[lextune]

Messier must be wondering why the Oilers don't just elbow Bob in the head.

 

[CaptainUgly]

It's been a strange game to watch. You'd think Edmonton is dominating, but the stats, except for shots on goal, heavily favor Florida.

 

[LTIR]

Next goal is going to be huge...
Either make the game real interesting..or turn it ugly.

 

[Satire]

Bob playing lights out being the difference so far.

 

[AirGut]

I think last time Oilers played a goalie in playoffs they had trouble solving on Bob’s level was 2021 against the Jets. People thought they were getting that with the Stars but Otto was slightly overrated imo. Trying to solve a goalie in a series is a test this team hasn’t had in quite some time.

Bob's play is cyclic

 

[LivingRentFree]

Watching the Oilers flop is awful. Seriously getting embarrassing.

 

[PromisedLand]

PSA:

Nurse on the ice ONCE AGAIN for the goal against. For a total of -2 this game thus far

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Definitely not a goal, can't shovel the goalie into the goal.

Like this one

What about scoring chances?

 

[oilers4life5]

100 percent a good goal. What a farce.

 

[ijuka]

Barkov is Finnish, no?

Barkov is Finnish yes, but he's certainly a Russian. Sort of like, is Eetu Selänne American, or is he Finnish?

 

[BB79]

You're missing out if you haven't discovered OTA yet. Clear HD signal for free.

OTA for the win....except when it's windy out then it sucks

 

[ijuka]

It's been a strange game to watch. You'd think Edmonton is dominating, but the stats, except for shots on goal, heavily favor Florida.

None of the stats heavily favor florida except goals.

 

[PBandJ]

Florida came as advertised.

Relentless on the forecheck and Bob is all world.

Oilers have a hell of a task ahead of they want to pull this off.

It’s a long series. Momentum will change throughout the series. A win is a win.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Canada's pride is at stake here. McDavid needs to step up big time.

 

[Winston Wolf]

I love how this crew is trying to act like that was debatable. Bobrovsky had that puck frozen completely.
