"nasty!"

"He found his first period anyway."

This ESPN panel is terrible.

 

[11Messier]

I think Tkachuk needs to KO Mcdavid

Classy...Sad dude

 

[biturbo19]

Why do i have to listen to David Amber talking again. Go away. There is absolutely no possible way that he is among the best crew that the monopolistic Rogers sports entity can put together for a Stanley Cup Finals broadcast.

"ThE pAnTheRs aRe OuT oF gAs"

How?

They have an insanely deep squad. They get offensive contributions from so many different players.

The Oilers were playing McDavid and Draisaitl 30 minutes a night in Round 2. They should be exhausted by now.

There's no excuse for Florida.

Panthers had a deep run the year before too but I agree definitely not an excuse with the minutes McDavid/Drai play

Nugent-Hopkins is the main reason they got past Vancouver. Dude stepped up massively in that series.

 

[HanSolo]

I'm fully expecting Florida to turn on the jets with under ten minutes to go. How many goals they let in before then? Who knows.

 

[Leonardo87]

Florida Panthers right now….

 

[BusQuets]

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).

Barkov completely dominated mcdavid in the 1st 3 games and then Draisaitl took him out. Now there is a ghost of Barkov playing with scrambled brain. Draisaitl won this series.

 

[Hockeyholic]

I'm sure many of them have injuries they're playing through. It's pretty common in the playoffs. Every team has them though, can't really pin the effort on that.

It's just crazy how dramatically things have turned. Ever since the 3rd period of game 3, it's like the two teams switched bodies or something.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

FLA waiting to win at home

That worked well in game 5

 

[robertocarlos]

Oilers should offer to make it a best of nine so they can win the SC on home ice in July.

 

[CanadienShark]

If i'm Jeff Skinner, i ask to be traded to like San Jose or something, so i can just keep running out that streak so that nobody else can ever touch the record.

Vancouver could assure him of never touching the cup.

Barkov hasn’t shutdown shit

 

[HanSolo]

I don't think it's an excuse. Just seems to be the objective reality. The legs don't seem to be there. This kind of play could get them by in the regular season but it's not remotely enough for the Finals.

 

[robertocarlos]

Nugent-Hopkins is the main reason they got past Vancouver. Dude stepped up massively in that series.

I'd still trade him.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Florida will come out hungry in the 2nd. Bet they pot one within 5 minutes. Maurice is probably laying into them as we speak. Question is will they respond?

 

[lightstorm]

Maurice is pulling a Woodcroft, all smug and nothing to back it up.

 

[dragonballgtz]

Yeah if anything it was Bob that saved the Cats with some damn good saves.

 

[BusQuets]

Barkov hasn’t shutdown shit

Tell me you didn't watch the 1st 3 games by not telling me you didn't watch them.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Tell me you didn't watch the 1st 3 games by not telling me you didn't watch them.

It was all Bob. People like you filled in the blanks with this Barkov narrative. Hasn’t dominated anything

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Just hand the cup tonight to Edmonton. Why bother playing in Florida again? Florida is cooked

 

[Video Nasty]

Perfect first period by the Oilers. Florida is playing shook. Almost feel bad for them.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Win or lose, I will give Edmonton credit. They could have given up. Threw in the towel. But they didn't.

I think their HC deserves alot of credit. They look much better under him than Woodcroft.

 

[RedRocking]

Don’t worry, Nurse will come through for the Cats

 

[Three On Zero]

I don't think it's an excuse. Just seems to be the objective reality. The legs don't seem to be there. This kind of play could get them by in the regular season but it's not remotely enough for the Finals.

The extra day off between games is far more beneficial to Edmonton, simply because they play a higher tempo speedy game
