When I see that level of disrespect for the game (his f***ing dive he got called on), well it just crosses the line. It becomes way too much like soccer, minus the rolling and writhing in fake pain part, but disgusting in my eyes.
If Draisaitl does it or anyone else, same thing.
But, I was talking about this game, and that decision that Tkachuk made.

If the Panthers do choke, i wonder how mentally crushed they will be and will that have any affect on them next season.

I mean i already don't see them making the finals next year just becasue the odds arent in their favor since making the cup finals 3 years in a row is rare.

Where do the Panthers rank? Playoffs are a lot harder on the body. If anything I would think the older players like Bob,Okposo and Perry might be starting to feel a bit tired

If anyone can come back from 0-3 down, it would be the best player in the world leading the charge. The Conn Smythe is already McDavid's, he just needs to secure the cup now.

It should already be his after tonight, but the questions about his true greatness need to end. Right now he's being compared to Crosby and Jagr, when he should really be compared to Gretzky and Lemieux. A cup secures that conversation.

Did anybody notice (those of you watching the ABC feed) how much more passionate Sean McDonogh's calls have been in Games 4 and 5 compared to Game 3 when it sounded like he was calling a funeral? Either he was on something in Game 3 or he read the press clippings and realized how ridiculous he sounded and upped his game.
 
Florida hasn't gotten the memo that you cannot allow a goal against while on the man advantage and expect to win the game, they have done this way too much in this series and if they lose the Cup, it will because of this. They need to get their shit together and Maruice acting all nice like it is ok, it is all part of a series. He needs to check himself because it is not alright. Tolerate shit, you get shit upon.


 
I could see the Panthers surprising and taking it in 6 games. Everyone now expects the Oilers to win and force Game 7, they have a good amount of pressure on them to deliver.

If Bob is human again, it's going the distance. He's been the 2nd best goalie for the last few games here.

I'm willing to bet you don't have $500,000 to bet on hockey.

I don't think he even needs a Cup, what he's doing right now speaks for itself. 8 points in 2 elimination games in the SCF is just superhuman.

Maurice really needs to shuffle his lines to find a spark. Like I mean change all 4 lines like Knobblauch has this series. But I think it's his defense that has been costing them the last 2 games. How you let Perry walk right into the slot on the game winner is beyond me.

You let him walk right into the slot because you're shorthanded and you have to respect McDavid doing McDavid things.

That was just him watching the game lol. They cut to him before a faceoff or something.

Common or typical, maybe, practical and reasonable, no. They’re professional athletes, a slightly compressed schedule won’t kill em and in my view makes for
More continuity and better product.

I think the extra day off in the final between venue changes is typical of recent years..... it might make less sense in a Chicago/boston final, but Edmonton and fort Lauderdale area are worlds apart.
