2 minutes in these guys already have it completely backwards. Not one single fan going into Roger’s tomorrow thinks it’s a formality, it’s a tough as F¥€< win that they need to somehow earn. Team and fans know that. Bandwagoners, trolls, and the media are the only ones making it sound that way
My take is this will be the most difficult game in the series for the Oil. FLA will be bringing it full volume. 50/50 is my feeling on the chances for either teams win for game 6.
As an Oiler fan you go into that building thinking what it is. The final game of the season in the building. And its been a hell of a ride. From 31st to game 6 of SCF. If they win fantastic and we'll all be watching game 7. If they don't we're so proud of these guys.
I hope the Oil can complete the comeback, but I just can't see the Panthers losing game 7 at home (if it gets to game 7). I fear the comeback will fall just short. I hope I'm wrong though.
A lot of people say McDavid seems to hitting another gear, another level. I think what’s happening is he has been watching all their guys to understand how they’re defending, forechecking, playing the boards, when Bobrovsky plays out and when he plays deep. And McDavid is adapting his game to take advantage of their weaknesses. Because that’s what he does. That’s why the power play is starting to click, that’s why he’s winning battles against Barkov and Tkachuk, and that’s why he appears to be going to another level. He’s found out what it takes to turn Florida inside out, just like he did against Vancouver and Dallas and his teammates are following his lead and putting themselves in position to score. That’s also why we’ve seen 18 different goal scorers on the Oilers.
why wouldn't they be confident. you have the best player on planet earth playing at a level that's leaps and bounds ahead of his competition.. seriously mate, McDavid has kicked it in 3rd gear while everyone else seem to be staling.
I agree these guys have no fucking idea what they’re talking about. Edmonton is 2-3 down. If they lose they’re finished. The panthers only need need one win. That would suggest they’re still heavily favoured to win the cup. Hayes you’re a fucking clown.
Trust. We do not think game 6 is a formality now that it’s upon us. But I’d definitely admit most diehards including myself said after game 4. If we win 5 this is going 7. So I think that’s where it comes from. But now that we’re staring down game 6, we all know the oil need to bring the game to Florida, play their game and not be over aggressive with 20 000 going nuts. No oilers fan is looking past game 6 now, that’s a fact. But we have undying faith in our boys. LFG!!!!!!!
@gperezniners4949 That's what the Stanley Cup has always brought, dear Panther fan... Healthy banter between 2 franchises from different worlds with a common goal... It's all about that moment, in that game. Who brings it, and who's says they are bringing it... Someone will fold early. And we will both know tonight if it's 19 and 9 for you, or 97, 29 91, 74, 2 or Brownie torches Y'all again... Just want a great game for the 2 teams, and a nice flight back to Ft. Lauderdale for you, and of course Connor and the Blue and Orange...
It’s still Florida’s to lose. Despite the result Panthers played well last game esp 5v5. If McDavid doesn’t put up another 4 pt effort, or Skinner goes Mr Hyde to his current Dr Jekll play, or the depth players can put up goals, the outcome will look different.
With the line changes in oilers favor & a couple of days off does this enable Draisaitl to get closer to being 100 % and I'm sure it has helped him . Im thinking this is enough to seal the cup for the Oilers. Panthers have more than they can handle with Conner adding a healthy Draisaitl will break their backs.
Reminder that this is the team that lost to a Sharks team who only two days before finally won after an 0-10-1 start. They followed that by winning 11 of 14 games; no matter what they'll always thank the Sharks for that loss. One more game under Woodcroft (a win over the disappointing Kraken) and Knoblauch/Coffey are hired. But that L was a galvanizing moment.
If Oilers score first, it's going to fall silent. Start seeing garbage raining onto the ice if they go down 3-0 or 4-1. I'm worried for Miami as a Canuck fan who saw what happened in Vancouver in 2011.
The Panthers are playing for Florida, while the Oilers are playing for McDavid's need for a Stanley Cup to cement his spot in the NHL history books, and for all of Canada, to return the cup home finally.
After two full cup runs in the last 2 seasons plain and simple the Panthers hit the wall and ran out of gas after game three. Florida lost their legs. Edmonton found theirs.😎
Yes, the Edmonton Soilers will lose this series. They were lucky to even get this far into the Stanley Cup playoffs to the finals, but the Florida Panthers will lick their wounds and decimate the Edmonton Soilers. No NHL team has ever reverse sweep in the Stanley Cup finals, since the Toronto Maple Laffs during World War 2. Absolutely do not believe Edmonton Soilers will achieve that.
Something special is happening. Let's all watch and enjoy this unfold. What is happening is historical. One more game Oiler's. Story needs to be finished. 5:35
CONN-SMYTHE McDAVID🫡 It is a formality,when Edmonton is playing their best hockey,there is no team that can beat them. Plus McDavid is putting on a show for the ages😱 I would like to thank Greg Cote,for helping McDavid find that extra gear🫡 Overrated🤣🤣 IN SKINS WE TRUST🫡
Wait til that Oilyyyyy Crowd GETS Crazyyyyyyy !!! They Will Empty the Tank As Well !!! 9 year wait for Connor , Looks Really Hungry To Oil Country !!! 3 day rest in between Favors 97 Baby !!! Knobby is calm and very low key !!! 8-1 Last time in Got Used To It ?? That is laughable Pierre !! Stuart Skinner Gets Better As The Deries Goes !! 35 yr old Bob, 25 year old Skins !!! Bob is great the first games of a series and falls apart the last 3 !! Older and the Oil Figured Em Out
I feel like it’s going to be a Carolina vs Rangers Game 6, script. Oilers going to go up 2 Goals, then shit’s going to fall off the rails. Soft Goal, Skinner lets in, or turnovers in their end.
