This is the Game. Not just the series, not even the cup, the entire legacies are on the line. I envy neutral fans, they are so blessed to watch this.

This is one reason of. few i think panthers might take it tonight lol

Depends if Florida even shows up tonight. Do they really want to be embarrassed in front of their home crowd?

 

[RMF5630]

11 days ago he was making history. Today he has a .889 in the series. Unreal choke job

He has been pulled once and has a sub-.900 save percentage. Closer to the real playoff Bob. You don't get all of a sudden get great at 35...

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Champions or chokers? Which will be for Florida tonight?

Franchise altering night for them. They better come out full guns blazing right out of the gate.

 

[Mike C]

I can't believe Corey Perry is finally getting his cup after being on the losing team for 4 times.

He won Cup in '07. Probably takes the sting out

To be honest Oilers have gotten some puck luck

1. Human’s first goal Bouchard shot it wide but it hit human’s outer leg and went in

2. Another wide shot that hit Barkov and went in

3. That offside goal called off

4. Two shorties to start two consecutive games

5 etc….

Question now is whether Oilers puck luck continues or it stops and Panthers get a bit of puck luck

TBD ofcourse

My wife's still at work.....BP low for the moment!

 

[HockeyVirus]

Took too long to get to this game but also kinda weird this is it for hockey for another 100 days

 

[SupremeTeam16]

There is going to be a lot of Oilers fans in the house tonight. Commercial flights have been booked solid and the Villeneuve airport just outside of Edmonton is usually a secondary option for chartered flights out of Edmonton and it’s just packed with pj’s going back and forth since Saturday.

Hopefully the thousands in attendance are going to be loud for the Oilers.

Of course the Oilers have had puck luck this series. Same for Florida too.

But that offside call in game 6 was complete BS. When Barkov scored that, it silenced the entire arena. The Oilers avoided another game where Florida got life and had the chance to tie it.

Does HfBoards delete the Stanley Cup playoff subboard post-playoff? How soon after the cup is risen mid-ice if so?

Game 4 of a 7 game series is the hardest one to win. Edmonton will experince this tonight. For Florida to win there top 5 must put points on the score board. Edmonton needs to keep playing at their high level mistake free. Which team will bring it

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Cup handed out tonight and next week is free agent frenzy lol.

 

[Terry Yake]

isn't that ironic?

also, the last time alanis performed anthems at the SCF was game 4 in 07 and the road team (ducks) won

How can you omit the draft madness??

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Carter Verhaeghe has been absolutely atrocious the entire finals.

Not a good sign when one of your most clutch playoff guys completely disappears at the most pivotal juncture.

[King Woodballs]

That guys trophy looks like an Avco Cup

 

[K1900L]

The Oilers probably want to be ahead very early on and have a great start, the longer it takes the worse it'll be for them.

They were great when outscoring the Panthers in the first 1 1/2 - 2 periods. If Florida manages to stay close, hold a tie or even have a lead going into the third, Oilers will have a hard time.
Bobrovsky will have to shut the door early.

This being said, let's go Oilers!

Feels like 33 degrees Celsius (91 F) in Fort Lauderdale. I'm not there, but in just saying because bad ice favors the Oilers imo. Scoring off the rush will be easier than cycle plays

 

[PanthersPens62]

This is an absolute embarrassment as far as how many Oiler fans there are at the arena. Shame on every Panthers fan that sold a ticket to one of them. : And people wonder why South Florida is a laughingstock as far as sports fans go. This looks as bad as that Week 18 Bills at Dolphins game did last January.

I feel opposite would apply

Puck will be bouncing like crazy and hard to get odd man rushes/scoring rushes going

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Congrats Edmonton.

I’ll be at the Dolphins game on Sept 30th, so that’s +1 fan from the north, supporting the Fins.

No, an admin will move all the posts to the main hockey forum. Usually a couple of weeks after the SCF is over.
