Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[Pierce Hawthorne]

He wasn’t the GM when we won the cup

Oh yes he was, even if he didn't have the title.

 

[Avs_19]

Wow. What a goal by McDavid.

You love to see it.

 

[dahrougem2]

Omg lol. That's not fair.

The Oilers have made Tanev and Lindell their bitches this series.

 

[the_fan]

One thing about Dallas losing(if they do get knocked out) they’ll be more hungrier next year if the Avs have to go through them again

 

[GeoRox89]

Oilers really decided tonight was the night to go nuts on the PP. This is hilarious

 

[Avs_19]

At the time the Hyman deal looked questionable but it continues paying off in a big way.

Same with the Bouchard pick. Probably top 5 in a redraft.

 

[Balthazar]

Shots are 12-3 Dallas

 

[BaconNater]

Florida better be motivated to not be back to back cup losers

 

[the_fan]

So where will Duchene go next year to try winning the cup? Vegas?

If you're doing a re-draft you probably have three defensemen going 1/2/3 in Hughes, Dahlin, and Bouchard before Tkachuk is taken at 4th.

Oettinger rocking that sick .333 save percentage. Wonder where that was against us.

 

[dahrougem2]

xGF were 1.73-0.59 that period.

That's what superstars do, though. McDavid creating both goals out of nothing.

 

[HockeyFan100]

f*** the Oilers

 

[S E P H]

Like I told you lot multiple times this season, the Florida Panthers are clearly the best team in hockey.

Rags probably should have done better, especially their star forwards, but it's hard to score goals when you can barely get the puck out of your zone due to how strong Florida's forecheque game is. It also shows that depth is becoming more important than anything else to win the Stanley Cup. The last two winners in Vegas and Colorado, the best depth team won and there is a chance that Florida will be the third in a row if they win it because they should be the favourites of the remaining three teams.

 

[dahrougem2]

Tyler Seguin is a useless offensive player most nights. Always seems to be in the right place and generates chances but can't finish.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Omg lol. That's not fair.

The Oilers have made Tanev and Lindell their bitches this series.

Esso and Tanev made Mackinnon their bitch.

 

[S E P H]

Evan Bouchard has had an incredible playoffs/Season. Best dman in the playoffs by alot.

He's still trash in the defensive zone, but Knoblauch and Coffey have done wonders for his game as Foote has done for Zadorov. I still prefer Dobson overall though.

Pretty bitter in here. Oilers stars players are showing up. The Avs star player didn't. Get over it.

Avs star players had so much mileage on them even before the playoffs started. Oilers super lucky not facing any injury bugs this year.

 

[dahrougem2]

Dallas needs the next goal but it feels impossible even as they triple shots

 

[The Kingslayer]

Like I said. Blessing in disguise. The Oilers would have demolished the Avs especially with Cocaine cowboy getting suspended. I couldnt stomach losing to the Avs. This is better. Let Florida take care of them.

 

[the_fan]

Avs losing Val is equivalent if Oilers lost Highman. Does anyone know if Highman likes coke and hookers? With name like that I’d assume he does

I actually think its closer to the Oilers losing Draisaitl. Thats how valuable Nuke is to this team. The record speaks for itself.

Nobody on either team wants it more than McDavid right now.

 

[GeoRox89]

Barkov vs McDavid is going to be an insane head to head. JT Miller made McDavid look human. The Stars centres and Kopi/Danault did not. Barkov is absolutely good enough to make him look human but whether or not he’ll accomplish will be interesting to see

McDavid vs Forsling is the match up im most curious about. Cant Gustav limit Connie? if not Oilers win the cup

Draisaitl has been quiet in this series

Draisaitl has been quiet in this series

Just like Nuke vs Dallas

That too. Really seemed like in the Vancouver series it was Miller making the difference and not the D. If Barkov can take away McDavid’s time and space it’s going to go a long way for Florida. Florida also plays a more physical forechecking style similar to Vancouver and Vegas last year that has given the Oilers fits at times
