Series Talk: SCF: Florida Panthers vs Edmonton Oilers (FLA Leads 2-1)

[M Ace]

With McDavid leaving practice early, the Panthers must look at that news and start licking their chops.

They are going to pound McDavid every chance they get.

They need to catch him first without costing a PK…

I’m hoping for a fight fest on puck drop. Barkov bs McDavid too. I remember Iggy face punching with Lacavilier in the Final. Two top dawgs.

I don't think we'll see any fighting tbh. Scrums yes, but fights in the cup final are incredibly rare. That Iginla vs Lacavilier is a classic though no doubt.

 

[M Ace]

Billy Smith literally pitch forked Tiger Williams. He’d make Bennett pay a price that Bennett wouldn’t like.

A concussion would be Bennetts least problem….

 

[M Ace]

Can you please clarify this comment.

My take is Barkov is in the same range as those two was. Good offensive, great defensive and plays with an edge. Good at faceoffs and with leadership. Perfect hockeyplayers, so nothing negative. Those kinds of players rarely exist anymore!

Well, the guy in your avatar (Laraque) is predicting the Oilers win and he is wrong 95% of the time on his radio show. What happens in this unstoppable force meeting an immovable object scenario?

I do hope for once Laraque is right though but his prediction makes me dubious.

Meh, Steve Dangle predicted a Florida win, and he's never right ever.

One of these blind squirrels is going to find a nut.

Oilers in 6. Florida is an awesome team. It will be a heated series. The improved Oilers team play, and line after line attack will prevail.

This scheduling is worse than the prep for a colonoscopy

Last game both teams played, Barkov centered his own line for 9:25 and Bennett 8:16. McDavid centered his own line 9:36, Draisaitl 8:46.

You do realize that you can just look the stats up, right?

Sure, but it's quicker if someone else does it.

Never possessed the puck, they were going for the puck? They both had opportunity for the puck. Typical FLA, we can do whatever we want but you have to give us free passage to contested pucks. That was a horrible call, 2 minutes at best if you want to get him for playing the man. They went into the corner together. That hit was shoulder to chest/shoulder on a play going into the corner chasing the puck.

FLA's are distinct elbows to the head. Oh, or Nikkola's board a guy on all fours getting up.

It was a five minute interference penalty rightly called. Barkov didn’t have the puck, making whatever you’re rambling on about here completely irrelevant.
You know if a Panther made that hit you’d be screaming bloody murder about “cheap shot trying to kill somebody, omg!”. Just give it a rest.

I think this is Edmonton’s year.

 

[Fatass]

Islanders sweep both.

‘80-83 islanders for sure.

Isn't there a poll for this on the main thread?

Unless Chucky can pull off a sucker, that's probably not gonna go well. I guess in the fantasy world where a fan thinks Chucky will cleanly square up with Kane we'll see one of the Oilers star centers fight Bennet

Interesting series because the Oilers have a lot of offensive weaponry... 3 players with as many or more goals & points than Florida's best.

But if it gets to actual fighting Kane, Nurse, Perry, Frederic, and Podkolzin can properly chuck.

There won’t be any fights. That said, none of them can handle Gadjovich, Greer can square up with any of those guys, Perry? Pokolzin? Bob could handle those two.

Funny thing. Nobody mentions the toughest guy on both teams is actually RNH

only problem is you can't prove anyone is tough by showing them beat up a maple leaf player. Everyone does that.

 

[Laus723]

Totally left him out. Good tilt.

 

[McShogun99]

Yikes.....

Bad news for Edmonton. This guy is a jinx machine.

It's not a true jinx until Drake bets on you to win.

I'm excited to see Perry and Marchand play against each other in the finals. Should be a fun storyline from two of the most talented pests in the swan song of their amazing careers.

Just as curious to see what happens between old teammates Marchand and Frederic.

 

[snag]

for me, i have to take a step back, sure i want the cup, but it has been an over expectation
season, nobody believed in the Oilers to reach this far, they have already won in a sense
by reaching the final, they shouldnt be there, and almost the same for panthers, a little
more belived, but they were not at all favorites, im talking before the PO started,
not before the season started.

Hey! Speak for yourself! lol
I saw what happened in 2006.
My whole life I have been told the regular season means nothing, playoffs are a "new season"

Once they get in , anything is possible.

We saw what happened with the first two games......and then everything since then.

I believed.

Should I change my name to Nobody?

God this series needs to start lol. Way too Lilongwe between

Bob could handle Podkolzin? Tell that to Jeremy Lauzon...
