The whole thing has become a bit unfair to the Panthers. If they win, the reaction will be, "What took you so long?". Rather than an epic victory, it'll be a sigh of relief.

Contrast that with Edmonton's storyline, which is the stuff of movies. "A comeback for the ages!" plays much better than "You almost blew it!".

IDK after game 3 the entire hockey world felt it was a formality to play game 4. This truly is an epic chokejob.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

I’m gonna make a big sacrifice, maybe the biggest in HFboards history. If the Oil win tonight. I promise to never make fun of the Leaf’s again.

I'm also going to make a big sacrifice tonight.

I'm going to actively cheer for the Oilers to bring that f***ing Stanley Cup back to it's home turf, and like it.

I actively cheer agains other Canadian based teams in the playoffs, because it's been 3 decades FFS. So, massive Leafs fan..............I want them to do it.

It also helps that everyone hates the Leafs and Leafs fans, why would I cheer for you?

Well tonight, Oilers are bringin' it home. f*** Florida they're in shambles and really mean nothing to me..

So last Timmy picks to get free coffee, I got Hyman, Brown, Ceci.

Former Leafs..

I might not watch the whole game, but I will tune into the end.

Go Oilers and I mean it. Let's see something different eh?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Lets see what this Panthers team is made of. Maurice has last change and the home crowd should be an asset to Florida.

If Florida loses, yeah, it's a choke for the ages and, at the same time, a victory for the ages for the Oilers.

But even if Florida wins, I'm concerned it'll feel more like an anticlimax than a huge triumph. How exciting will it be to watch them hoist a Cup they should've won a week ago?

 

[Neil Racki]

Funny .. Canadiens are uniting under one banner ... Americans are standing there, eating chicken looking at the North like

It does feel like everyone is waiting for the Oilers to do it and if they didn't, would be kind of lame.

Id say more exciting. Lifting the cup after 4 = meh. Lifting the Cup after starting 3 then losing 3? f***ing priceless

 

[Coffey]

Screenshoted. I keep receipts.

Do you have anything on me?

Come on. Learn to spell Canadians.

Canadiens are the Habs, dude.

It doesn't matter btw, I just keep seeing it and not sure if it's spell correct, or just slight ignorance.

Don't get me wrong – Panthers fans should absolutely go nuts if they win. They become the champs, which is no small thing!

However, Edmonton's comeback has made them into the 'good guys' who are one win away from a triumphant happy ending. The hype and the storyline is on Edmonton's side.

That would be very painful for Oilers fans. I won't even comment in here if that happens.

But then we can move on to the draft and July 1st because post SCF a lot is going to happen.

Not that I disagree, but the pain of losing a game 7 after this Oilers run would be absolutely devastating still.

So here is a question then. I think we have all been reading McDavid is potentially the GOAT and will win the Conn Smythe and all of this. If the Panthers do win and McDavid doesn't have an unreal game, does that narrative suddenly change?

Is McDavid now a choker who couldn't show up in the one big game? It's hard to believe, but it could be his one chance at a cup in his career look at Ovi. Would he be remembered as the guy who couldn't get it done?

I think there is a good narrative no matter who wins tonight

 

[zar]

The last time the Oilers won a Cup, I was 9 years old - I’m not so young anymore!

I was 20. Still got you by a few.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

The Panthers are talking about feeling positive in an NHL write up. Good lord. They're gonna get blown out of their own barn tonight.

The energy in the air is almost physical. People have been waiting for an Oilers win round here for a long time.

Those were the days… yes, I did that.

I think the entire city of Edmonton would be disappointed if he didn't show up today.
This is where you rev to 10K rpm, watch that VTEC work its magic and burn whatever gas is left in the tank.

Tonight, you put your lives at stake on that ice sheet.
