SCF: GAME 5 - YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR: TIME TO FINISH THE REDEMPTION ARC. TIME TO FINISH THE JOB, 8PM ET, ABC

[trilobyte]

I don't know how anybody can admire Tkachuk's cheap flopping style.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

The positive for Florida is in the last 40 mins they were the better team. They were coming, the momentum got derailed by penalty calls but they were able to get it going again.

At the beginning it looked like the 4th period of game 4, but I'd be surprised if we see them no-show again in game 6.

Going to be hard in that electric building, but its been a wild series.

97 for the Conn Smyth.

To put in perspective... just swap 97 and Barkov, and Oilers ain't there and Panthers would already have won.

just swap 97 to anyone in any team and its different story

 

[ElysiumAB]

I honestly called Florida bounce back win it on home ice for tonight after game 4, but Edmonton played a great road game. Incredible game for McDavid. I'll give Tkachuk credit, he made an unreal save on the goal line, unfortunately for him it went straight to McDavid.

Of all the gutless and cowardly moves the guy makes, you'd think he would've knocked the net off the moorings. He really slipped up.

 

[TheAngryHank]

McSmyth is amazing

 

[Turin]

Fun game. Floridas bottom end of the lineup looks like shit and Reinhart and Verhaeghe are MIA.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

I don't know how anybody can admire Tkachuk's cheap flopping style.

I'd say the same about Draisaitl. Atleast with Tkachuk its honest about what he is, everyone knows he's the villan.

 

[Matty Sundin]

We have a series. Game 5 was incredible hockey

 

[GKJ]

The Panthers had the ice tilted, but the Oilers did not allow many dangerous chances. Skinner just had to not give up a bad goal.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Laughs in canucks fan.

Neither is envious.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Tkachuks dad is gonna be pissed having to fly again twice.

 

[innitfam]

McDavid is doing a 2016 LeBron impersonation right now.

 

[ozzie]

Hockey fans deseve a game 7.

 

[Bradely]

props to Skinner

 

[MessierII]

I don't know how anybody can admire Tkachuk's cheap flopping style.

That play to stop the empty net was heroic gotta give him props for that.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Hopefully the officiating is better in game 6, that was brutal tonight

Agreed.

Letting the Panthers get away with murder.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Clear difference is special teams. Amazing we even got this far. Can’t wait for Fridays shit show

 

[TheNumber4]

Anyone who had anyone but Connor as the Smythe candidate doesn’t know hockey. Historic performances deserves Smythe trophies.

He’s the best these playoff has seen. He’s the best this League has seen since Mario.

 

[Cup or Bust]

Edmonton needs to forget about being down in the series and focus on the fact they can win the Stanley Cup with 2 more wins.

 

[Mobiandi]

Panthers need to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask themselves if they're a serious hockey team.
8-1 in game 4
4-1 partway thru game 5 on home ice

Truly embarrassing stuff

 

[rec28]

It’s gonna take a couple of days to unclench…

 

[CatscratchFever]

It's not clear at all. Edmonton is going home to what will be a ravenous crowd for Game 6. Feels exactly like 2006, there was zero chance Carolina was winning that game.

Did EDM win that series?

 

[flying squirrel]

Kudos Oilers, beat a Panthers team that wanted this series to end tonight. No more room for wanting to win at home now, it's on like Donkey Kong!!!! Impressive win, our house is happy for McDavid!!! With last two games: McD has step-up by helping team on biggest of stages. Boy, would be sweet seeing Oilers, with McD, make 0-3 comeback. OK, back to earth.... There's lots of hockey left and Panthers are no joke. Regardless, we got a series. Thank goodness!!!!

Enjoy ride Oilers & Panthers fans, great playoff series are priceless.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

I feel sick to my stomach how frustrating this is right now. Choking away chances for our first Stanley cup giving Edmonton more and more life. How the f*** do you start 2 games in the final with 2 shorties….backbreakers from the start. We just keep shooting ourselves on the foot.

I'm an Oilers fan so I've known the feeling. I've seen it happen a few times this year and in playoffs past. Sometimes really good teams are their own worst enemy. It'll be a really interesting game 6. The Panthers were crazy close tonight.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Tkachuks dad is gonna be pissed having to fly again twice.

Paying for 2 tickets each way for himself is gonna add up
