I would chuckle if the theatrics of Florida backfired penalty wise now that it has a public presence. It's been commented on by at least some media, so it must be bad. It likely won't, but it could.
Just when I've tried to write them off and grieve, they rope me right back in. 
Now at the same stage where we found ourselves in 2006...down 3-1 with a critical Game 5 on the road.
82 years since a team came back from 3-0 to win it all. Let's change that stat.

People will be going on summer vacations in the next week or so and hockey is still on.
But not in southern Alberta.

Let’s just torture the Panthers and all the haters, send this back to Edmonton, make them squirm. The doubters will be pissing themselves if we win game 5.

Why the f*** are there 78 days between games before and during the Finals, and why is a season of ice-hockey going to end in midsummer?
Just arrived in Fort Lauderdale today, for game 5 on Tuesday.
Anybody know of any local hangouts here, or in sunrise, that I may be able to bond with my fellow brethren Oiler fans?

Can’t remember who it was who suggested Shania Twain avatars, but I’m on board.

Game 5 will be ridiculously tough for the Oilers to win. Florida will have last change, an excited crowd behind them, and they will be HIGHLY motivated to end the series. They won’t want to go back to Edmonton for a game 6. We are going to see them at their best. We’ll honestly need some luck, on top of strong play from everyone. If we can push it to 6, you have to figure that creeping doubt will get in their heads.
I’m happy with the season. I’m appreciative that they’ve got this far. I’m happy we didn’t get swept in the final. I don’t want to get my hopes up when it’s still such a long shot, but if we can gut out a tough win in game 5, we’ll have a legit chance to take the whole thing.
We wait.

SPEEN!
No doubt in my mind that game 4 will live fresh in Florida's minds and they'll play a much, much better game. I suspect we'll see their best game of the entire playoffs. Hope the Oilers do the same.

Honestly it shouldn’t have changed much. Not a big difference between down 3-0 at home vs down 3-1 heading into another teams barn. Win game 5 somehow and the odds would take a huge jump.

If we shell Bob again.... that would make waves. You have to think maybe he's been cracked like we did Markstrom and Oettinger

Sure Florida will be better. But it won't be enough.

My hope is that it partially works against Florida. There is a seed of doubt planted, and rather than get right back at it they have two full days off to build tension.
Anyway, all these games feel like coin flips and so far FLA has had the bigger share of fortune in this series.
They had us at 9% down 0-3? :O

They've faced seemingly insurmountable adversity in a game 5 before...and then...
I think they've put themselves in a position where the officials just won't factor in the "injury" component of any sort of penalty call or review for them anymore. This is three times now.
To be honest, I was stunned that the refs didn't take the bait on Bennett, because 9 times out of 10 the refs get fooled by even the most obvious gamesmanship. I was sitting straight across from the benches, and the exact moment the referee called for a review Bennett sprinted to the room. I don't know if it showed on TV or not, but he could not have been moving much faster than he was for a guy with a knee "injury."

You need luck some luck to win most games in the playoffs. We didn't get much, if any, in games 1 and 3, and then got a bunch in game 4. Hockey is determined by luck a LOT more than most people, especially huge hockey fans, want to admit.

The uncomfortable truth every fan of this sport just kinda pretends not to notice is that isolated to individual game samples, the team with the better performing goalie is almost always the team that wins.
