I don't usually say things like this, but mathematically I believe the odds of Edmonton winning 4 in a row against Florida are approximately zero.

 

[MCR74]

Good luck tonight, FLA. Make Canada proud.

Nothing warms my heart quite like Oilers fans complaining about officiating.

Your heart must be warm all season long.

 

[MikeK]

I'll be surprised if FLA doesn't close this out. Especially if they get the first one. They are the better team.

Knobby thinks otherwise.

Reaching the Finals is a big accomplishment, not the same as winning the Stanley Cup obviously but still very respectable. Can’t have the “he hasn’t made it past the 2nd round!” McDrai have put up historic numbers these playoffs, critics can no longer say they can’t produce in the playoffs, McDavid is behind only Lemieux & Gretzky in playoff points which is a remarkable achievement. However getting swept in the finals will be brought up and diminish their solid season, they need to win a game here or the McDavid crying with a broom memes are going to be back in full effect.

The one positive thing that will come out of this if the Oilers do get swept is that the McDavid vs Crosby threads will immediately cease.

Maybe the Oilers are next years Panthers, like how Panthers almost got swept last year.

l wouldn't bet on that.

 

[GoldenSeal]

l wouldn't bet on that.

Good point. Now they'll be started by Crosby fans instead lol.

Crosby? Pffft!
There’s already a thread saying he’ll end up as the second best player of all time passing Orr, Mario and Howe.

 

[ghostingtaro]

Make the oilers beg for mercy my Florida friends

 

[GoldenSeal]

He's not wrong on both counts.

Maurice actually says, "He may not even be an AHL level goalie..." LOL

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I'm kind of depressed to realize that people can't spot obvious deepfakes.

 

[GoldenSeal]

I'm kind of depressed to realize that people can't spot obvious deepfakes.

Oh it absolutely is, but it's so goddamn entertaining to watch.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

You're welcome.

Just think how much fun it'll be when I turn out to be right though.

I don't think they're worried about that based on your track record, pal.

 

[IceManCat]

The boomers have a nightmare with it

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

The boomers have a nightmare with it

Don't want to derail thread, but one incredibly interesting thing I've noticed is that my dad's generation (actual boomers) are somehow better with computers than young people under 30. We're in for a wild ride, let me tell you that. Great news for the job security of Gen X and millennials in anything involving a workstation, though.

I don't usually say things like this, but mathematically I believe the odds of Edmonton winning 4 in a row against Florida are approximately zero.

Odds of them coming back are about equal to
-John Tavares tucking in under an Habs bedspread
Or
-Cher or Leonardo Decaprio dating someone their age.

Plus McD with one assist, and Drai with one 2 min penalty for elbowing. This would add a bit of realism.

 

[heksagon]

The one positive thing that will come out of this if the Oilers do get swept is that the McDavid vs Crosby threads will immediately cease.

Yeah, but I think they'll eventually be back. McDavid is still in his prime and has many years left in him and more chances to win the Cup. Signed, a Panthers fan.

#becauseitsthecup

So Brown scores more points in one game than he has all season? Makes sense.

 

[Beerz]

He's dealing with a couple different injuries I believe. Notice how he hasn't been a shooting threat on the PP? I agree though if he isn't healthy enough to drive his own line he should be with mcdcvid or even Nuge.

I think he has a broken elbow.

 

[AvalancheRy]

Hope everyone is bringing their brooms to the party tonight. You’ll need them. Time to sweep this pathetic finals in the trash

We know there is going to be at least one Oiler fan brining her broom tonight. She's ready for that Oiler sweep.
