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

Oilers have struggled since the turned over goal.

There's more coming from the Panthers. It would be rather weird to think they won't find a groove here and there in the remaining time

 

[Sadekuuro]

They blew a 3-0 series lead in the finals? No this would be the height of choking.

They did actually, but was it 80+ years ago in a war-depleted league. They then came back from 0-3 down only to lose in 7 a few years later.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

No kidding. I'll never understand this level of emotional investment in what is essentially a television show. You aren't on the team bro.

Yeah, and most of the players don't take it that hard.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Oilers have to have the worst D core by name in history to play this well. I seriously know none of the guys other than Ceci and Bouch

You don't know who top pairing Canadian Olympic team Darnell Nurse is?

 

[Mr Positive]

Edmonton has NOT won the series. Posters are getting ahead of themselves.

As an Oiler fan I endorse this message. This game isn't in the bag even. Not by a longshot

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

neutral fan that likes both teams. this game was exciting until the goal was overturned. that was the only chance the Panthers had at getting any momentum, they look like shit and this is boring. this game is over and Im going to watch something else. hope they play game 7 without any refs.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Perry is such a SMART player.

Savvy

Sports is instinctive stuff. Like if we were primate, it would be like cheering for our alpha to beat the enemy's alpha. You can't fight instinct.

 

[Czechboy]

C'mon Henrique.. your first goal was sublime, that shot was off by a mile.

 

[Sentinel]

Florida took over in the past ten minutes... with nothing to show for it.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Game has been boring since that reviewed goal

Good find. I had no clue about that.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

Thank God it's not my team about to blow a 3-0 lead. Yinzers would trade sid for some Turners tea.

A team led by Sid would finish the job.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Clear interference not called on Oilers there

Ekholm: "Am I nobody to you?". People need to stop trashing the Oilers' D. It has been good in the playoffs and in the regular season. It's not the top in the league, but some people continue reciting this shit for no reason.

 

[Vegas07]

In sports. Name one team outside of the Falcons that have choked ( if they do end up collapsing) like this in a championship game/ series?

Golden State Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead after winning 73 games? Not sure how I’d compare that with this, but Golden State was clearly the best team all year and was the defending champ. They were better than the Cavs and lost 2 of the 3 games at home when they blew the series.

Is Florida even better than Edmonton?

 

[Tryamw]

Hyman 3-0

 

[Sentinel]

Florida is toast

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Hymannnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Panthers are so shit.

 

[biturbo19]

Where Goalie Bob ended up after that goal is absolutely hilarious.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Over. Kitties in real trouble.

 

[Jussi]

That's game.

 

[PaulD]

I thought so too but what I am witnessing may be the worst collapse in pro sports history. Funny thing is all is forgiven if they win game 7, but I'm seeing Florida totally outplayed when they have every incentive to play with some heart.

Edmonton is a better team. Panthers did well in getting up 3-0.
But make no mistake. The Oilers are a better team.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

If they lose game 7, it is the biggest collapse in pro sports.

Blowing a 3-0 lead in the Final is not something that happens. It happens in WWII when there are 6 teams and a bunch of your players are off fighting in Europe. It doesn't happen in modern pro sports.

Maybe, Yankees in 04 might be only thing that tops it
