Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[MacKaRant]

Think you missed these two...Dingman won with Tampa in 04 with Andreychuk. Teemu got his in 07.

If we count former players who went on to become coaches, then Sylvain Lefebvre is about to win one along with ERod in the very near future

 

[UncleRisto]

I doubt even Selanne remembers he played for us.

Oh, he remembers, much like how we remember it.

I'm conflicted. One one hand, watching Oilers fans weep getting swept sounds so nice, plus we can move on to the trades and such. On the other hand, no hockey till October makes me sad.

Just get it over tonight. Don't give ANY hope to them.

Oh wait…

Florida catches a break with Nurse not getting kicked out.

Florida catches a break with Nurse not getting kicked out.

Or they have to keep playing him. Bogus call, the NHL sux.

 

[Bensch88]

Lol
You cant have more luck than the oilers

 

[Avs_19]

That was one of the worst 2-on-1's I've seen result in a goal. Haha.

Oilers extremely lucky with the Panthers' posts and then the goal.

 

[the_fan]

I guess there will be game 5

 

[Bensch88]

Oilers 2-0 up now. Desperation plus a lot of luck so far and suddenly they have 2 goals

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

I know that but there STILL has to be a plan going forward.

They probably need to re-up draisailt this summer or else trade him or risk losing him as a UFA next summer... you have to think it would be unlikely to happen but bad GMs do stupid things such as losing a star player and getting absolutely nothing in return.

I'm certainly not saying they won't try to go all-in next year - they will but they haven't made the right decisions with this team for the past 4-5 years and I doubt that starts now. I just personally believe that THIS year was their best shot at the Cup. Everything aligned for them to make a run out of the west but next year, there is going to be a team that's going to handle them much like the panthers are doing in the finals this year.

People don't have to agree but it's my opinion.

Like Cmac with Rantanen?

 

[Markster]

This start sucks because I want Corey Perry to never have a reason to smile, even temporarily.

 

[hockeyfish]

Suck it

 

[BaconNater]

Have the Oilers ever lead a game 3-1 on home ice whilst being down 0-3 in a series before? Can't remember how that turned out!

 

[the_fan]

Yeah this one’s over. Winning the cup at home is always better anyway

 

[LOFIN]

f***

 

[sethro109]

Panthers are making uncharacteristic mistakes. Either too lax about this game, or the nerves of being one win away got to them. It's fine, as long as they don't do it 4 games in a row.

 

[the_fan]

5-1

 

[Avs_19]

Nurse! Everyone's favourite.

This is much more like it. Give me 7 games.

 

[LOFIN]

Stayed up for this dog shit

Skinner, start doing Skinner stuff please...

 

[Vaslof]

I would be pretty funny if Florida came back to win this game.

 

[Balthazar]

At least now they can win the cup at home.

It's always awkward/anticlimatic to win the cup on the road in front of fans that hate you.

 

[MacKaRant]

If Oilers hold on to win this one, you know the coping narrative in Edmonton will be that they dominated Games 1 and 4 and were "unlucky" to lose the series
