SCF | VI | "They Said 'I'll Bet They'll Never Make It', But Just Look At Us Holding On" | Oilers vs. Panthers | 5.21.24 | 6:00PM | SN

[SI90]

1st period all Oilers

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

My god Barkov is overated

 

[PromisedLand]

Get McDavid on the ice for the offensive zone faceoff in these last seconds COME ON

 

[Kryten]

Close call

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

May as well just give the cup to the Oilers tonight. Panthers have no interest in this game. And the chances of them showing up in game 7 will be zero.

 

[King Woodballs]

Not good for Edmonton they only got 1 in the first.

 

[MikeyMike01]

Thought Panthers were tough but they've been soft as shit. McDavid is just allowed to do anything he wants.

The referees have made it clear that defense is not allowed against McDavid

 

[kingsholygrail]

The Kings put up more of a fight

No they didn't.

 

[HabsCode]

Disappointed with McDavid's play so far. Hope he gets back to his form next period.

 

[biturbo19]

Perry playing 214th game in the playoffs, most among active players tied Bourque and Low at #14 all time. Great career.

Closing in on the "Average Career Games Played" for NHL players. But just in Playoff games alone.

The way he's got there has been a little fudged, but full credit to him as well, for reinventing his game to play a different, lesser role effectively. And also seeming to be pretty good at picking "winners" to sign on with. Including some real darkhorse candidates like all those Habs games he got in.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Panthers legit created nothing offensively this period.

 

[Panthaz89]

Yikes the series is quickly getting away from Florida.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

Not good for Edmonton they only got 1 in the first.

That’s quite the spin

 

[eviohh26]

My god Barkov is overated

Yes.. he is. But still a good player. Certainly no Kopitar , Datsyuk or Bergeron .

 

[HanSolo]

Florida needs to figure something out. They look dead.

 

[ViD]

Is there anyone on the Panthers who can spark the team ? They look cooked

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Yes.. he is. But still a good player. Certainly no Kopitar , Datsyuk or Bergeron .

exactly. Maybe the lite version

 

[BoHorvat 53]

2 shots on goal in a period in which they trailed for over half of it, think the series has officially flipped to being in favor of Edmonton.

 

[BelovedIsles]

The Oil are on a mission.

 

[HockeyVirus]

How does Maurice watch the last 3 games and this period and change nothing but swapping out a few depth players?

Change the lines? Make an adjustment to the system? Do literally anything? Anyone on this forum could chew gum and watch their team choke the series

 

[Czechboy]

2 shots on Stu?

Change up that strategy.

Loved the period.

Amazing start but 1-0 is not enough. If I'm a Panther fan, after that period, I'm happy and regroup for Period 2.

 

[Banjo Cat]

Florida had two shifts where they kept the puck in the Oilers' zone for some time and looked like they could threaten. This isn't over by a long way.

They almost made a comeback last game. When Florida pours it on they are scary.

 

[trilobyte]

Perry is a smart player. Always has been

 

[Firsov99]

Panthers legit did nothing this period.

But only one goal down though. Could have been worse. Bob has been sharp.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Panthers need a HUGE hit or something.
