GDT: Stanley Cup Final Game 7: Edmonton Oilers at Florida Panthers 8pm ET (Puck Drop 8:20pm ET)

[HabSgt]

Connor McDavid no show for his Conn Smythe, not that I blame him.

HFBoards exploding in real time.

Also Corey Perry a jinx confirmed.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Bob, Barkov, Okposo, Ekman-Larsson, Ekblad, Maurice... so many vets finally get their cup

 

[sheed36]

Half the fans in the stadium wondering what that big silver thingy is. They were expecting the Stanley Cup to look like this.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Only the owners of the team should care about that.

And then they lose. And don't return the next year. He is like a cup tease. That doesn't sound good, but I am saying it anyway. Corey Perry is a cup teaser.

While I get it, habs young players got experience they had no business having. In some cases, great outcome for some teams. For others? It sucks.

Perry obviously isn't a curse. Its just a fluke.

 

[GrandmaCookie]

Can you imagine being Ekblad or Barkov and remembering being drafted at 18 by this garbage organization (at the time), going through all the pain and suffering only to finally raise the cup a decade later.

Must feel great to win the cup with your original team.

 

[McGees]

Players gonna take a pay cut to resign after all the good feels and try to win again.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

OEL gets bought out by Vancouver last summer. He'll celebrate a Stanley Cup Championship this summer.

 

[OnTheRun]

i preferred Bob pick tbh. McDavid got shut down in Games 6 and 7

It a figurative slap in the face for the Oilers brain trust. The trophy and the slap went to the most deserving imo.

 

[McGees]

Wow Brady Ketchup is losing it - I guess he knows this is as close as he will get to it.

 

[RabbleMasterBlaster]

No bday gift for me then. That ice though...that's really embarassing imo to see sludge the whole game like this. Oilers could barely execute any passing.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

A really tough loss for the Oilers, but they had a hell of a run.

Can they get back here next year?

Idk. I guess we'll see what happens in off-season.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

i will be honest, Florida was thought of as the perfectly built playoff team, its actually quite crazy that a team built with so many flaws like Edmonton nearly stole this

If Holland did more than Henrique at the deadline.....

Just another missed opportunity

Yes it is good for a young team to go as far as possble. Especially for the Habs since it will be years before they see the playoffs again. It doesn't do much for the Oilers. They are a veteran team and have gone a long ways in the playoffs before.

So naive. There isn't enough garlic and olive oil to set that man free.

I don't see them repeating this next year. Who knows though.

I didn't see them reaching finals this year and they did. Who knows. McDavid is such a powerhouse that anything is possible. He will eventually see a finals again.

Elliotte has the same hairstylist as Gally. Trying the impossible to hide that big bald spot.

Want to replicate it, start by getting a Barkov caliber C.

 

[Skip Bayless]

We are going to be the canadian team who brings the cup back home.

Losing game one the way they did due to nerves IMO cost them big time.

 

[sheed36]

Is this the first year a team as won the cup with a player on it with a 10 million dollar cap hit? Florida as 2 in Bob and Barkov.

 

[Schooner Guy]

I don't see them repeating this next year. Who knows though.

It will be tough. Short offseason. Dallas, Colorado and Vegas will be strong. Plus there's always a surprise team in the conference like Vancouver this year.

Eichal last year.

The margins were just so slim

FLA was all in, Holland dipped a toe in.

One move could have changed everything

 

[knuck]

I don't know why I bother watching hockey. The teams I root for never f***ing win. It's always the terrible markets with no fans that win it's f***ing killing me. f*** this

 

[Rapala]

It's too bad the game came down to Kulak giving Reinhart acres of uncontested space while Florida as a team gave Edmonton none.
Should Skinner have saved it maybe but the point is that shot should never have happened in the first place not like that.
