Interesting how he thinks the players are different (in a good way) at no doing of his own. Humble leader and coach... It's not the group of players, Coach Maurice, it's you.
The reason people are suddenly favoring the Oilers is because they made up their entire deficit in the series IN ONE GAME, it almost doesn't matter that Florida's up 3-1. Florida needs to play as desperate as if they're down 1-3 tonight.
Well yes I think it completely matters. Once the Oilers went up 5-1 in the 2nd period… Panthers were just wanting to get home for Game 5. You reach a point where you know it’s over and to your point, we didn’t have that desperation. They weren’t playing lockdown, full strength hockey at that point. You run the risk of injury, etc. Gotta play with the desire to close out tonight! Go cats!
@@alexeatspandasthis is exactly right. The Panthers had decided to lose the game (as in stop trying) once they pulled Bob. Anything that happened beyond that doesn’t matter. They were saving themselves for game 5 because why blow your load in a game you don’t need to win?
@@alexeatspandas Don't under-estimate the Edmonton Oilers. Good team and McDavid is a top player. I also like goalie Skinner. We shall see what we shall see.
Clinching a Championship at home is not the same as on the road, as seen in last nights NBA Final. The home team can only seal a 7 game series at home in game 5 or 7. The away team can close at home on #4 or 6. Great opportunity to close a Championship at home for Florida tonight. Edmonton will have to play like they did in #4.....and Florida not likely to repeat their game 4 performance.
The hockey world has been so biased against the Panthers the whole series. So obviously anti FL it’s been very hard to take. The networks should have had better representation for this team and not just ex Rangers/ oilers players . It’s been so unfair and not enough credit has been given to the Panthers. Enough is enough. Come on boys- let’s stick it to them tonight so they have to eat their words. .

I am a Finn and Cats fan, but I do doubt that the series are over after today’s match. 9-1 is shambles and it’s about some players not giving all they have. Thinking Barky, Reinhardt Ekman Larsson, verhege will do the the magic. No, everyone must be 100 % committed to shut the central area.
