Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[henchman21]

Edmonton now has to win game 3 to have a semblance of a chance (they don't).

 

[GeoRox89]

2-0 series lead sealed up. Oilers poised to really regret not winning game 1 against an out of sorts Panthers

 

[avalanche_country]

How many teams have come back from 2 games to start a series in the finals?

Only 5

I think the last time was 2011.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Edmonton is going to burn, isn't it?

 

[avalanche_country]

Oilers only 1 goal in two games in the final. Ouch

Even when the team doesn’t blow it completely, it’s rare for the team to even rally to tie after being down 2-0. Nashville is the most recent to do that but lost the next two after that and the Flyers in 2010 did the same thing.

Florida wins one of the next two and it’s over though. Theres been one 3-1 comeback in the Finals (that might’ve also been the 3-0 comeback)

 

[avalanche_country]

Oilers board in full blaming the refs mode. Just hilarious stuff

 

[sethro109]

Well that was satisfying.

 

[Balthazar]

Can't bring myself to cheer for a team that was built on the back of being in an attractive market.

If the Panthers are in Edmonton with the same owner and the same GM the Panthers don't even make the playoffs. They never get Tkachuk nor most of their UFA's on those AAV's (if at all).

They drafted 3 players on that lineup, come on.

Tampa, Tampa, Colorado, Vegas, Florida. Man we stick out like a sore thumb.

Boston beat Vancouver in 2011 after being down 2-0. Same with Pitt over Detroit in 2009. It happens, but it is rare.

Went to Oilers GTD and legit the first word I saw was "refs". You can't make this up.

For MANY years Florida was anything but an attractive market. It is now because they are winning.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

In a lot of ways, seeing the Oilers make it to the finals just to watch those dreams get absolutely demolished, is even better then watching them lose to Vancouver or Dallas in the rounds before.


This is great.

 

[AvBuff]

Feel good for ERod. And Paul Maurice is the best coach interview in the league. Hard not to like the guy.

I'm good with Florida winning the Cup. Far and away, the best team this year. Oilers fans still think it's a Bettman conspiracy.

Incredible.

 

[katfude]

Here I thought Florida was supposed to be the dirty team in this one

Oh good, I’m so tired I only thought I wrote the part about someone already answering the actual question and thus my skipping right over it

If Draisaitl is not suspended I will doo-doo-bomb Parros' house... multiple times.

He knew exactly what he was doing and which player he was doing it on.

How is Florida an attractive market? They've literally been one of the worst franchises in the league since they've exsisted.

Zero chance the NHL has the balls to suspend Drai in the Finals. So please link your tik tok

Took them a long time to realize that they could use their market to attract players.

Man with all the recent cup winners + Dallas/Rags making it all the way to the conference finals this year market attractiveness is affecting the outcome like never before.

Have you ever been to Dallas?

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Bettman and the Refs have it in for the Oilers.

Things like calling Draisatl then not calling an offsetting minor to make it 4 on 4 favours the teams with no state taxes.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Perry's going to lose another SCF. Sucks to suck.

If you are a contender, just don't sign Perry. It's the kiss of death.
