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

[Harry Kakalovich]

Too bad - I wanted Edmonton to win. But they dug themselves a big hole. Almost got out, but game 7s are so emotional - tough to know how they will swing.

The margins were just so slim

FLA was all in, Holland dipped a toe in.

One move could have changed everything

Err...in Holland's point-of-view, he did go all-in...

Oilers almost pulled it off with skinner in net.

Like I said, they play with right mentality, but I thought they had too many holes.... it turns out they were fine outside of middle pairing issues.

 

[JianYang]

I never bought into this cheer for the Oilers as they are a Canadian team bs. There is only one Canadian based team that deserves to win the big prize and that is the Montreal Canadiens hockey club. We were the last Canadian team to win it and will be the next to win it again.

I don't care much for the canadian narrative.... but I noted during this final that alot of casuals were talking about it and cheering for Edmonton in Vancouver.

I was cheering g for Edmonton mostly because I wanted to see a reverse sweep.

Good jobs Oilers

While the result is disappointing, what's most apparent is just how far this team is from being a legit contender. Hughes has a lot of work to do.

We beat the Panthers 5-3 in our last meeting. As far as I'm concerned that means the cup is as good as ours next year!

As great as a 3-0 comeback would had been, Florida put their big boy pants on and played their game tonight. Bob also had himself a good game.

I’m sure if’s obviously disappointing for Oils, but they ended up making a series out of this. Some if their depth really stepped up also. Shame Draisaitl came up dry and McDavid wasn’t as effective last two games but it is what it is.

I am really happy for him. Most NHL coached games behind Bowman.

 

[Frank Drebin]

It was 100% intentional and to think different is naive.

Oilers played themselves out of a top 2 draft pick that season with their play in the second half

Team was so incompetent they couldn’t even lose properly

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

The Panthers were the more balanced team, especially on defense, while the Oilers 3 star forwards (counting Hyman) ran out of gas. The defensive ineptitude on the winning goal demonstrated that disparity.

It redeemed a pretty boring playoffs.

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

HFBoards exploding in real time.

Also Corey Perry a jinx confirmed.

The trophy should be given at the NHL award with all the other trophies. The cup is enough for the last playoffs game.
