Barkov, Tkachuk & Coach Maurice | SCF Practice Interviews | 6.23.24 

Tkachuk is doing a good job at hiding the pain. Barkov can't. They're obviously rattled. They'll have to play a perfect game, the Oilers are extremely confident right now.

Boys, you did an outstanding job this season! Kicking ass of Tampa, Boston and freaking Rangers!!! You gave us so much emotions! We are proud of you, no matter what will happen tomorrow, you are a great team and we love you!!! Let’s have a great final game of this season! Let’s go Panthers!!!!!

Every player's dream is to play a game 7 in the Stanley Cup Finals, on home ice in front of your own fans. Barkhov and Tkachuk are clearly so happy to have this opportunity. It's a real dream come true for them. I also have a nice bridge for sale if anyone is interested.

Love our team Native Floridian est 1988- so thankful to be able to go to this game tomorrow and be a part of whatever the result may be❤️🚨🚨🚨

“If you lose tomorrow you’re the team that lost lose when you were up 3-0, if you win you’re the team that won the Stanley Cup. Is this a career defining moment?” Barkov - “No” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅

Every kid dreams of playing game 7 but no kid dreams of playing in game 7 after leading 3-0. It will be a nightmare.

Good vibes and positive energy LET'S GO PANTHERS

Panthers need to get the first goal and get the 20K rocking and believing they can win this!

They had three chances to “leave it all on the line”. I have little belief that 4th times the charm.

Maurice seems awful thirsty today. Arms folded, the body language speaks volumes. Big difference from jokey haha Paul from Game 3.

In 45+ years of watching hockey, as far back as I remember as a kid in Alberta, getting his first skates, playing hockey on the outdoor rinks, getting pretty good at it too, but in a family never able to afford hockey, but always dreaming and watching my heroes on CBC Hockey Night in Canada; I honestly cannot ever recall looking so forward to watching a game as I do tomorrow’s. It’s truly historic on every level. It’s been well established already why it’s so historic and why the hockey world is buzzing now. During this series especially I’ve done my part of jumping into the fray, championing the Oilers, ridiculing over-zealous Panthers fans, etc. But the truth is, we oughta just enjoy an epic game of hockey and respect whoever loses.

As a lifelong Panthers fan this next statement is me coping, hoping and manifesting. We WILL not lose this game! The crowd will push you guys over that finish line if you start strong and get to your game! Doesn’t matter what happened the past six games, it’s all about this one. No one can be asleep at the wheel and I know you guys can claw your way to our first cup! Please do it for all the Panther’s fans you’ve put into cardiac arrest during this series

Chucky out here practically begging his fans to show up😅😅😅

The loudest rink lmao

I could sense the fear in their voices. They know that they blew a huge 3-0 lead. McDavid will be unstoppable tomorrow. It’s destiny.

So exciting to be able to play Game 7 😂 You had literally 3 chances to win the cup already. Just funny thinking about it like that. Whatever happens it will be a game to remember. As a Canucks fan I really hope Edmonton wins. The comeback is too epic.

Finally the season end is in sight…As a lifelong Hockey fan I’m feeling better that this marathon is finally over…

Panthers are a good team and play hard. I am a Canadian. I want to see Lord Stanley’s Cup come back home to Canada. GO OILERS

If the Oilers get an early lead, its over

We have to play our absolute best tomorrow night. Strike early and keep scoring. LETS GO PANTHERS!!!!

it hasn't been even , they've been fortunate and taking things for granted, like they've been here before .

In the words of my cousin Vinny "everything that guy just said is bullshit" 😂😂

We expected this to go 7 and we are prepared to win in 7

Barkov already looks like they lost……. LFG OILERS!!!!!

The last game felt like the end of the series. A new beginning One size fits all

LETS GOOOOO ❤ WE BELIEVE ❤❤❤❤

Even if Florida smokes Edmonton tomorrow 10-0, I don't see the arena being louder than Edmonton's arena was the other night when they were chanting We Want the Cup.

You can see the despair of defeat in Barkov's eyes 😢. Sad but true.

Even if FLorida wins the cup, the oilers comeback chance would still outshine a cup winner. Sorry boys but it is what it is.

I feel so sorry for Paul Maurice - and if the Panthers win Ok but if they loose they will go down in sports history as the biggest debacle in all sports

Boyz, we are the best 5v5 defensive team. Let’s go back to our roots and focus on defending, defense wins championships. Let’s get it

“We arn’t coming in to dominate the game, we are coming in to play it” I get what he’s saying but it’s funny to hear. If I were him I would at least fake some more confidence… “Yes. Absolutely. Our goal is to dominate in Game 7” Why wouldn’t you want to dominate?

Lets go oilers...its not just 20000 florida fans its all of canada behind you ( including the habs leafs sens jets csnucks and even the flames fans )are all secretly rooting for you!!!! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁

All fun and games until you realize mcdavid on other team😢

Let’s go OILERS!! Come on by’s bring that cup back home by’s were so close! Let’s go by’s from Newfoundland

If Panthers will win not a big deal as OILERS already made HISTORY!!!! And will still continue praying for the OILERS 🙏🙏🙏

A week ago I was on cloud nine concerning this team. It almost seems like a dream that were here… The game seven with Edmonton. We need to get our confidence back for this game. It’s over. Let’s go Panthers!!

Boys, Your ManHood is being challenged . Time to show them the Real Panthers Team. They are giving you Zero credit. It’s all -The other team- (no need to even mention them). Let’s Get it done. A united Florida Panthers Group.

Home ice advantage they got that goin for them

The Cup Belongs in Canada not Florida! Go Oilers.

I like Paul Maurice, but he is in denial.

They look like they already have their golf clubs in the trunk.

Cats ran out of lives now , we'll see what there made of tomorrow.

"No".....lol.....how is that for an answer.....smh

I am not a fan of either team. However, I have total respect for them both. It is a shame that one of them will lose. My hat goes off to both organizations.

LETS GO PANTHERS!!!❤

Chuky did a great job of hiding how rattled everyone is

I feel bad for these guys and the questions they’re presented with. Especially considering the adversity. With that said it’s amazing how even-keeled they are.

If Skinner is off his game, Cats are lifting the cup!

This series is the definition of momentum and there's no way Florida is as loud as Edmonton. These guys are talking non-sense.

These three are going to become the absolute laughing stocks of the whole hockey world😂😂👍🤠

What’s the difference between 7 games or 4 games? millions and millions and millions of dollars.

@13:32 perfect answer. Vamos Gatos!

Momentum is a real thing. Edmonton has momentum. And it helps them win.

Tonight is the night boys. Time to hold The Stanley Cup! Go Panthers!

Better win game seven, might be another 30 years before we get another chance.

If Florida plays a super tight defense they will win the Cup.

Ive been listening to their interviews throughout the whole series. On BOTH sides, Panthers and Oilers sides of fans everyone's going ape****, including me who isn't a fan of either team, I'm a Wings fan so it shouldn't matter, I should be just wanting a great series and then the board is reset and we see what happens in September and we're all back to rooting for our individual teams, and I shouldn't care but I DO! People care. Some are diehards, while those of us that should be in neutral territory just want a good series but, Panthers and Oilers fans are..... ITS A MADHOUSE! More brutal than anything I've ever seen and, with Bobrovsky in the net, his story is I guess why I care so Ive been pulling for Florida even though I wanted a Dallas/Rangers series here we are. But, these interviews have been interesting because even when Florida was ahead and everything thought it was over at the start of Game 4, it's as though Paul Maurice has had a leash on his team because every interview they've done that I've followed since the start, it doesn't seem to matter to them win or lose, they sound more like actors that just want to put on a good show for the fans or those in the audience, that's all I can gather from it. Paul Maurice, himself, doesn't seem to care, he talks more, and has from the beginning of the series so it's not like because the tides of the series turned they accepted loss and just try to explain it away, no, he talks more that he's concerned his players are growing like they should be, that if they lose the series and the Cup, that doesn't matter if they played a good series. Or if they were to win, he might feel they didn't deserve it if they played a lousy game and hadnt grown. So, I'm shocked through all of the interviews how at ease they all are. It's a big moment in hockey and it's just another day for them and the only thing that matters to them is they're putting on a good show. Meanwhile, everyone else is going crazy and falling into crisis. Look how calm Tkachuk is, the Cups on the line tomorrow and he's easy about it, ya gotta respect it. If they lose tomorrow theyre gonna be feeling it, same for Edmonton. There's an unmistakable look that you can read on their faces BOTH ways that win they're going crazy but lose, and that's a really heavy look so, kudos to Paul Maurice whose kept them consistent through the series, they seem like robots or actors but I guess in their mind, it's not over until it's over and I guess you see how you feel then. I feel for Florida fans though. Oilers fans are going nuts, but Edmontons seen the Cup before. Itd be nice for Panthers fans to get at least one, even if they never make the playoffs or see a Cup Final again, to have at least one. So, get in the game guys, Bob needs to play as he always has and really watch that stick side. Edmonton feels they know Bob now but as I carefully watched Edmonton's goals, Bobs challenged odd-man rushes before and come out, but all of those goals were stick side, Bob flat on his butt and flat to ground either between his toe trying to get to post or up over his blocker, like clockwork. The other concern I think is Florida let Game 4 get to them too much and they've changed their game and maybe gotten too technical versus just playing the game they did games 1-3, something happened in Game 4 NOBODY knows what happened. Florida had solid passes, the forecheck was on point, they were scoring goals, defense bailed Bob out a couple of times and then the last three games, it all unraveled, passes were sloppy, forecheck disappeared and defense crumbles...... And they're all still this calm in their interviews. Desperation happened to Edmonton and McDavid is all they had and he was apparently carrying the team alone until he seemed to have fired Bob out. Does desperation kick in for Florida and they learn? This series doesn't make any sense

Please Panthers, please! you must win tomorrow! No way you can accept a 3-0 comeback loss to the Oilers and back to back finals eliminations.

Barkov looks cooked; like he's going through an existential crisis.

Blues fan here. Love the Panthers but what I see is 2 troubling things. Bob your star goaltender didnt show for practice. Second you guys look bland and passionless in your interviews. The Oilers are in your heads. Sad sad to see. I pick Oilers winning 3-2 in overtime. They look like a team that really wants it. You guys need to rewatch Vegas hoisting the Cup video from last year and taste the anger. Its apparent you need a wakeup call.

Doesn't seem even oilers are working u even in the wins. If it ain't for Bob cats are already done

He definitely put in context did you understand that media

Barkov is one weird eye away from looking like Shara Bullet

Ya…. 8-1 loss, that’s even

Never say die. They taught me that. We can do this.

The last three games you guys looked like you were skating in mud. PLEASE wake the #$%^ up! GO CATS! 🤘

This is probably gonna be the best finals series since the 90s, just in terms of what happens after the cup is lifted. We all know if the oilers win, possible beginning of a dynasty with 2 superstars that will resign in Edmonton. Potential of being the most talked about finals series just due to the fact that oilers were down 0-3 & have a chance to win in game 7. If the oilers lose it won’t be as much of an issue because they were down 0-3 to begin with.

LOL the look of horror right before he takes that sip of water. That humble pie sure tastes good, don't it Maurice?

Edmonton is firing on all cylinders. Panthers are done, and they know it.

Not an even series. Great on boys. Oilers blew out the Panthers on game 4 (8-1) and almost won the first 2 games. Goalie Bob is no longer the uneatable goalie. The refs watch for all the Panther dives now. Even the fake knee injuries which were game ending injuries resulted in that same player on the next shift. Panthers have been watching soccer player far too long. Panther fans are not even close to the Oiler fans. Watch for all the empty seats. I am sure the Panthers want to forget.

I think… the mindset needs to change a little bit…… they keep saying we’re coming in with the same mindset we always have… I think you need to step it up. That’s what’s The Oilers did.

Oilers are in their heads. These guys are trying to believe what they are saying but they know Edmonton is gonna take game 7. Go oilers!!

🔥🔥🔥

Panthers please. Just care one more time and win one more goddamn game.

please do not go down as the worst choke in NHL history

Edmonton is not desperate. Florida is desperate. So he can't speak for Edmonton.

If Bob shows up, it's Florida's cup.

12:59 ouch!

Mcdavid should win the conn smythe win or lose.

Even if Skinner lets him too easy at the start of the game they'll be able to outscore them I assume dry Leon and McDavid if that happens it'll be straight offense

BRING IT IN GAME 7!😊

lets go oilers!

I really think Maurice was too casual and glib during the first 3 games , this translates to the players. I think there was too much belief they were over the finish line 🏁 yet they weren’t 😮

You’ll become Champion because you’re Good and not playing DIRTY and intending to injured your opponent!!!! Because if I am a Panther fan I will not Proud of it!!!!!

Let's go Panthers 😊

If it was even before game 1 uh wtf it was a tied series before game 1 wtf is Matthew talking about

The Cats have been neutered. 🤷‍♂️

Я фанат пантер,но по их настроению уже всё понятно --они уже смирились с ПОРАЖЕНИЕМ!!!!!!

Yeah, they're toast

I disagree with people saying that the Panthers will be "disgraced" if they lose. No, they won't. They've made it two wins further into the the Finals than they did last year. That's improvement to feel good about. And if the Oilers wisened after three games and showed themselves the better team, so what? The Panthers will be the second-best and have little if anything to be ashamed of if they lose tomorrow. Dear Florida, would you rather swap your Panthers with the San Jose Sharks?

Падшие Ангелы И Боба не хватает симулянта

Their overall demeanor here is not at all similar to their demeanor before game 4.

Bob lost his mojo, and when a goalie loses his mojo it's hard to get it back. Need to stop 10 or 11 of those breakaways the team keeps giving up.

As a Rangers fan I’m pulling for Panthers. I want the cup east and I want to see them dig deep put the nonsense behind them and get the job done.

I've turned my sleeping schedule around for the whole series and have been hoping for it to end since game 4 but now it doesnt matter. Gonna be a good game. Like it when new teams win so rooting for panthers!

It sounds like they are deflated. I really wish the media would leave them alone. I expect tomorrow will be a great game, but Oilers are aren't thinking and talking like the Panthers.

Барков сидит с понурой головой.....мне не нравится твое настроение Саша, но испуганному МакДи на всех интервью не помешало выиграть три игры.....так что в сторону все предрассудки и играйте в вашу игру Пантерс....вы же самая лучшая команда Америки против лучшей команды Канады.....Ткачук поколотил будущего чемпиона мира Пастернака, так что мешает вам показать свой мощный волевой характер выгрызать до последнего победу и не опускать руки несмотря ни на что.....мы ваши болельщики просто умоляем вас выиграть.....и молимся за вас Богу!!!

Whatever you do, Florida, don't play crap Jovi.

CATS will WIN!!
