I am fairly confident the guy that said this is The Avs Coach.

The first time I saw a team say we were the best team in the league was right after we just played the Avs

It’s 100% Jared Bednar. Always gives thoughtful and “nice” answers like that and feel like I can hear it in his cadence as well. There’s a part at the end that I actually think makes its definitive.

“But I am rooting for Florida because they nailed the roster. Gustav Forsling off waivers, got Carter Verhaeghefor nothing. Bennett and Tkachuk trades. Along with the home-grown pieces. Built a wagon. Have to tip your hat.”

That’s exactly how the Avs operate and were built (less so on the waives but Gus is a unicorn).

News article said Panthers want to keep Rhienhart and Montour could have to dispose Bennett and Eckblad. Bennett is a tough one.

Get comfortable with em

 

[batting1k]

Carter right now

At 3:33 he called her out lmfao

“if you get a chance to sit down, and I think you probably do, to talk with Carter Verhaeghe, that’s an interesting conversation”

 

[16Skippy]

Weird dude, couldn’t keep his contract in his pants. Total fail.

Gives a whole new meaning to his nickname...The Worm...

Bill Zito lets Boony walk, I tear down his statue at some point in the future.

Lot of players going to ask for more money. We have to look at our youth and make sure we lock them in….Goudas was tough Boony would be much tougher and Zitz might be running out of cards to play.

Could @FlaPanthers11 give me his thoughts on this series?

Well I wanted Dallas to lose in the WCF last season because I was concerned about their special teams advantage. Didn’t really turn out well. I wanted them to lose again this year because I was concerned about them neutralizing our depth advantage. Let’s see what happens.

I do feel like if you really zoom out Edmonton is pretty similar to the other 3 teams we’ve gotten past in the sense that they’re really top heavy and PP dependent. Edmonton fans will go on and on about their depth now but anything you look at from points to advanced metrics and there’s only 5 guys doing anything out there for them.

I trust in Barkov and Forsling and, to a lesser extent, Bob to keep the puck out of the net. They’ve gotten it done all year. I’m not so sure we’re going to be able to score much with the loaded top line focusing on defense. Need a lot of offense from the Bennett/Lundell lines and the powerplay.

All in all, I’m cautiously optimistic because no one has been able to stop us from putting up 30-40 shots a game when we want to and Skinner will crack. And we haven’t had any issues keeping the puck out of the net all year. McDavid and Draisaitl will get theirs but if that’s 1-2 goals a game that’s liveable

My biggest micro level concerns are we don’t give up many but when we do the chances we’re allowing are really high danger and Edmonton will capitalize there. And we need to be perfect with our line matching and getting the right guys out there. Felt like too many icings last series for the 4th line (see Rangers 3rd period tying goal in game 4) and that feels like it will be almost an automatic goal this series

I can’t agree Edmonton is closer to the Rangers but have real snipers and more speed. They can get to their zones quicker. The larger question is how are they around the net. The Rangers were pretty tough there but were no shows in other places especially outright speed.

I think this is Oilers team is much closer to the 1983 one that lost to the Isles than the 1984 one that beat the Isles.

Them hits column not even close. Nurse barely comes close to our average.

Hey, LA Kings fan here, just moved to the east coast. Your GM is a stud, congratulations the Panthers are fun to watch, and I'll be pulling for you. The guy you have to stop on Edmonton is Hyman. He creates space for McDavid and is really good in front to the net- very strong dude who is difficult to move. Their D is sub-par after the first pairing and your forecheck will create lots of chances. The Panthers 3rd line is also much better than the Oilers. Go Panthers!

I think we are better at faceoffs than them which hopefully alleviates that mismatch

I hear that about Hyman…..

 

[KW]

Now Edmonton fans think the observation that Panthers have faced a much higher quality of goaltending than Oilers, is a false narrative. Because.

Skinner needs a sports psychologist to tell him that hes good. Bob just needs a water bottle to spritz his hair up.

its dumb... they faced one guy that is on par. but ok

were the ones back to back in the nhl stanley cup finals..

 

[Gentle Man]

I don't even think Oettinger has been all that since his series against Calgary

Haven't you heard, they are better than us in every respect, we will just have to show up and break some hearts as both the favorites and underdogs.

I never realized how incessant Oilers fans are. This is gonna be great.
