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

[BusQuets]

Draisaitl is the MVP of the cup finals even though no one will in media will dare to say it out loud...

 

[LeHab]

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.

Meanwhile Jeff Skinner still looking to sniff his first playoff game.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

It’s cliche but it’s especially true now. The next goal is MASSIVE

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

You’d think being able to speak cogently would be necessary as a commentator, but Messier….

He's excited and shocked like everybody else rooting for the oilers.

I sounded the same way after the Red Sox broke the curse in 2004.

 

[Jacob]

The worst part of this collapse is there’s not even a fan base to heckle about it.

 

[Tebowz]

good road period for florida . they will dominate the second

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

The crazy thing is...Florida can still win the Cup tonight. Edmonton has to win tonight, and Monday.

And it feels like Edmonton could win the Cup tonight.

 

[Ryan120420]

The Panthers are aware they can win the Stanley Cup tonight with a win?

What an awful period.

 

[thefutures]

Don't worry. He knows how to quit.

He knows how to stick around too. Hopefully he can't talk his way out of this one

 

[ProjectPanthers]

The worst part of this collapse is there’s not even a fan base to heckle about it.

There's a few of us. Don't worry we're all on suicide watch already. Won't take much for me to jump.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Lol at Paul Maurice getting schooled by the rookie. He should be fired.

 

[crowi]

I'm hoping Maurice lets the players know that they'll be a laughing stock of all pro sports even after they're long dead if this is what their legacy is going to be.

 

[Hockeyholic]

This x100.

If Florida wins this game, Edmonton will look back at the missed chances to increase the lead.

Florida needs to start skating and enforce their will. They have the depth and better overall team.

Wake up!!

 

[Coffey]

When did the oilers learn to play D?

I mean. They didn’t get to the finals by luck.

 

[CupofOil]

When did the oilers learn to play D?

Ever since Knoblauch took over that certain people would know if they actually watched the games and stopped sticking to the silly narrative that lolz the Oilerz suck defensively

 

[JPeeper]

The worst part of this collapse is there’s not even a fan base to heckle about it.

It's past their fanbases bed time.

 

[NyQuil]

Take a drink anytime someone on the panel says McDavid.

 

[Mez]

Lol at Paul Maurice getting schooled by the rookie. He should be fired.

Shades of 2022 Flames. Still need 2 wins though!

 

[BoHorvat 53]

It's not even about Edmonton winning, the Panthers look lifeless in game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals in a series in which they're on the verge of getting reverse swept. They're f***ed if this goes 7.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

PK Subban and Mark Messier on one panel is just f***ing unbearable

 

[ProjectPanthers]

The crazy thing is...Florida can still win the Cup tonight. Edmonton has to win tonight, and Monday.

And it feels like Edmonton could win the Cup tonight.

Feels like they should just give it to Edmonton at this point. Game 7 is feeling very pointless.

 

[K1900L]

This series shifted when Draisatl injured Barkov.

Florida were already outplayed in game 1, Bob just saved them and hasn't been able to since.

No disrespect to Barkov, but he isn't exactly known to be an offense dynamo (if there was an injury at all).

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Lmao if panthers choke this series it will certainly be a way into the history books.

 

[crowi]

Take a drink anytime someone on the panel says McDavid.

I'm drinking heavily, but that might kill me

 

[Banjo Cat]

The good news for Florida is that Bob looks to be on his game.

Unfortunately his entire team have checked out for the year. I guess we would rather be golfong right now.

I think Florida's gritty forechecking game has got to be tiring for them. Who knows what injuries they are playing with. But a little luck and momentum shift might give them a spurt of energy.
