Game 4 prediction: Panthers lose on purpose to give themselves chance to celebrate at home.

As fan, who has been fortunate enough to witnessed favorite team skate "Cup' at home -vs- away. Skating at home is more memorable experience. The awesome vibes Lightning had when skating around home rink was priceless. Whole house was so happy for Lightning's players/coaches/home fans (Especially older ones). Enjoy these moments & memories Florida fans!!!! Even though our house wanted McDavid to get "Cup". I'm also finding it really cool watching instate brothers reach NHL mountain top. We're happy for deserving Panthers players (Like Bob and Barkov). But.... Not all Florida players are cool, every NHL team has this sprinkled within somewhere. So...... there's not to many great reasons to why every Panther should go down too. Panthers lose game 4 tonight, then win game 5 @ home.

Wish all sport fans could experience an insane season. Shoot, that might even be one of my Ginnie in-the-lamp wishes, to tell ya the truth. Sure it's just a game, but sports sure can make someone forget problems, pain, etc. Sports holds lots of power this way, so it's more than just a game for some folks. One quick example: An older neighbor, who was fan of Florida Gators, was very sick. This neighbor witnessed Florida Gators win Football and Basketball titles around 2006-2008, and from those experiences. Things changed! Before Gators went on title tear, neighbor was sick, in & out of hospital, losing hope daily. All of us barely saw our neighbor not completely miserable.. But once Gators started having success each week, looked to be legit, and then finally won a title. This very sick person changed 100-fold!! They died a few years after Gators title runs, but I believe witnessing Gators winning, helped as much as something could for situation. So, this is part of my reasoning to why I strongly wish everyone could experience favorite team winning championship......

Now if OIlers pull of impossible, their fans will get crazy memories and so will the rest of us!!!!!

I hate to say it but the brooms are coming out tonight. Florida is clearly the better team in all aspects.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Oilers could easily have scored 0 goals in this series. All 4 of their goals have been complete fluke goals.

Hope Bob shuts the door tonight. Hit them with another shutout.

Another shutout would be lovely.

I mean sure? They could have far more easily scored 8 goals, considering how good Bob has been. That's why they play the games.

Let's send this series back to Florida!

They brought the families to a road game for the first time in the playoffs. They're trying to win tonight.

 

[CatscratchFever]

Finish this.

No team would ever think like that. 1 game could give the opposing team confidence and potentially turn a quick series into a long one. I'm sure all the Panthers players want to just go home and get on with their off season.

Exactly, especially when a team has momentum.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Oilers tonight…

 

[BTO]

Games still on for tonight or have Edmonton conceded yet?

 

[PromisedLand]

Aight last meme/gif of the day until the game starts

Finish this.

Did someone say "Finnish"

 

[RMF5630]

Oilers just aren't good enough. I don't see how they can win at this point. Cats played their worst game of the playoffs and still beat the oilers 3-0.

You can't dislike Ted Lasso...

 

[57special]

If nothing else, Oilers have to come out and play hard. I'm pretty sure they will, as teams that give up easily usually don't make it to the cup finals. It must be disconcerting to give up goals due to preventable mistakes, but they've got to be strong mentally, and play together.

The original Gretzky Oilers were swept in their first Cup appearance. Messier had one point.

 

[chaser17]

Skinner could be the worst goalie in NHL history to ever make the cup final. He makes Michael Leighton look like a top 5 starter.

I mean, not even close. Stu has a career .908 Sv%. His playoff numbers aren't great but he's stolen a few games this run.

 

[Ratsreign]

Even the arena in Edmonton gets steamed if you talk too much about how well the Panthers are playing.

Clip was talking about Barkov and Bob....then they started testing the goal celebration props in the arena

ROFL!

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Edmonton has been in control throughout this series. Maybe the refs finally stop being so biased towards the Panthers and give the Oilers a decent chance.

Wow. Interesting perspective.

 

[TheSecondSeason]

Oilers will win this game. Things finally break a bit for them. I am confident this team will bring this back to an insane madhouse for game 6.

 

[Dust]

Wow. Interesting perspective.

It's a Panthers fan playing silly bugger in this thread

 

[Zerotonine]

I think the Oilers will win tonight. They will be desperate, but lets see if their defense can keep us off the scoresheet. Hoping to win the cup at home-ice in game 5 anyways.

LGP!

Do you really want to give a team life?

Or are people just preparing excuses early for why Panthers possibly loose tonight?

 

[Osprey]

I'm anticipating an Oilers win, but I've anticipated that every game so far and am 0-3, much like the Oilers.
