That's a weak call in October. Letting a guy dive like that and calling his opponent in game 6 of the SCF? Gross.
I'd say that I hope it wakes Florida up, but they were still sleeping after Barkov's 1st goal was called back.

I was gonna suggest to NHL that they should have left the cup in Florida after game 5 because they were gonna come back. Would they listen to me?….

Maybe not

I just hope that Paul Maurice is able to get the Panthers going for Game 7.

I would love for the game to be in doubt for at least the majority of it.

The slow starts and lack of finish on wide open chances by the panthers is killing them. Make the Oilers play without a lead for once. They are lucky they pulled out game 1.

Oilers losing in 7 games after all this would be a better outcome than I could have asked for. Would be magical.

Not looking likely. I'd say Florida is the underdog at this point.
Florida definitely the underdog going into game 7, not only due to the mental aspect and momentum but because Edmonton has been flat out better.

The Oilers obviously have the better special teams but even 5 on 5 they are producing more and greater quality chances than Florida is over 6 games.

Florida is very fortunate Bob completely stole game 1 or this would be over already

I was fairly confident that Florida would win this series after going up 3-0 even if it went to 7, but man they have looked bad the past few games.

We'll see if Florida can forget the previous few games, because if not they're done. And if that happens, you just have to tip your hat to McDavid and Edmonton.
