Think I'll be taking a sabbatical the next little bit, main boards are pure cancer. I feel decent about the Panthers chances, I don't get why Oilers fans are being so terrible "they said the same about Dallas beating us" bro Dallas was up 2-1 in the series and winning game 4 2-0, shit the bed and then lost game 6 outshooting them 35-10, far from a dominant series lol. Vegas was bearable because they have 3 HF members, this is pain.

Its more like dont give them the Space to skate, its near the same as against the Rangers.
Btw Dallas is well known for their offensive Game not for their great defensive Game. So for the Oilers is this the best they could get room to skate, everything is open Ice.
That will be different on us, they only one who gives me really goosebumps in this Part, is Number 5. When he has to face maybe best skating Ability.
Just reading the comments and I have to say, your English has improved dramatically over the years!

Sorry, just wanted to say that!

Everyone saw the NHL.com Expert voting.
Its quiet the Opposite from their Headline on the Main Page. On the Main Page you can read Panther must be BIG BIG Hunting to slowing the Oilers. Like Oilers are dominant.

Then you read the Thread with the Expert Voting and its like 60/40-70/30 for Panthers winning the Cup. Really interisting how the Main Page try to catch every Fan Possible Before the first Game is played.

It's wild. When that thread went up a couple days ago, I voted and started to read the comments. Went back to pick up where I left off and it was 12 pages. Then 24, then 36. Now it's like what? 2k? Comments. I CANT KEEP UP MAN.

There's no containing McDrai. Imo, if Barkov is able to stay even with them ( neither scoring or both scoring the same amount )
Then that's absolutely a win. Even being slightly outscored, I'll consider that a win.

The 2nd line probably cancels each other out too Imo, our depth has to be the difference here. I do think we have the better 3rd and 4th lines. But it has to be enough to compensate for the possibility of their top lines outscoring ours

Gonna need Bobrovsky here too. He's better than Skinner, But I'm kinda scared of all the breakaway chances we've given. Oilers are exactly the type of players to capitalize on that. Even moreso than the Rangers.

Should be a hard series. The games can't come soon enough..
Fkn fantastic take, couldn't agree more. Our depth and Bobrovsky absolutely need to be the factors here for us to win. Oilers are a good team, you don't get to the Finals on a hope and a prayer. You need to win. The 35-10 argument doesn't really matter much, it's one game and sometimes your goalie is your best player, that's how good teams work.

McD/Drai are going to get their points, but if the Panthers can't contain the rest of the team defensively it's going to be big trouble.

I still feel like even if this team gets absolutely rocked in the first game like 7-1, they have way too much determination to let this out of their grasp.

We'll see.

The Amerant is having a watch party for the away games.

10 dollar entrance. Not bad at all
Did that last year, it's a good time and they cut the price of food and drinks.

Also, I feel like the Oilers will be EXTREMELY nervous to start game 1. Cats should pounce early and often.

Cliche, but special teams will be huge this series.

Panthers have done a great job on the PK and respectable on the PP.
Oilers have done a better job on the PK and are playing on rookie mode on the PP.

Guess we'll see which team is "legit" when it comes to the penalty kill for the gauntlet known as the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Getting Barkov back to his old Faceoff self is crucial as well. 57.3% in the regular season. 53.4% in the playoffs but it seemed the last handful of Ranger games he was under 50, and near 40%.

Meh.. Cote and the Lebatard crew have always been blown hards imho. Outside of David Neal idc what anyone from the herald every says about hockey as most of them just ignored us till we started playing well..TSN just trying to create bulletin board material for the oilers.

For me it looks like panthers are on cruise control starting from all star break. Including playoffs. I mean, i cannot complain, we are in scf, we beat all the deamons on the way, and did it in a convincing way, and it looks like that was the plan from beginning to save energy, but i am afraid if they are able turn it on now, flip the switch. Because i really think it will be needed, otherwise we wont make this final step.
Last yaer i was pretty sure we Will beat Vegas. And we didnt. This year i am really afraid, so i hope it will go the other way around this time..

Is this a 1930 Ford Pick Up, no wonder where he got his first 10 Steps of Skating.
Mystery solved.

If this goes 7 games Zito will have 6 days to re-sign Reinhart/Montour before they hit UFA.

This schedule is whack

Didnt Montour already mention earlier that he wanna hit the Market to see his option or did i mix it up with a different Player.

According to Naturalstatrick, Barkov and McDavid have been together on the ice for 28 minutes 5v5 last three season. In that time, McDavid corsi 48%, shots for % 47%, xGF% 51%, HDCF 54%, GF/GA even at 1/1. I think we'll be fine.
