Agree. NHL/refs have basically lost control. A full-on choke job where the EDM guy tried to tap out!??!! Hilarious, but it doesn't belong in the game. Much less not even penalized. Draisatl should've been suspended a game or two. Tkachuk should've been penalized that one time McDavid had a breakaway and Tkachuk had his stick up high in between McDavid's legs. Game 2, especially, EDM seemed to come and ugly it up. Kind of wild to me that this is all happening on the biggest stage - Cup Finals. There's good hockey in there, but it's almost taking a side stage or back stage to all of the non-calls.

Regardless, FLA's plane stuck at the airport for a few hours today, meaning FLA had a long time "traveling," gets in to EDM late, etc. And the game is tomorrow. Being down 2-0, I expect EDM to bring it at home. So, if I were a betting man - I'd wager on those sports apps that EDM wins tomorrow.

Big, strong, mean , determined well coached and a good goalie equal great shot at Stanley cup

Anyway, wow, 0-2 hole for the Oilers. Ouch.

Yes, it was AI. Lots of them available now. I'm fine with them as long as they are clearly AI (like this one).

Players chirp each other but never like this on an interview to this level unless there is a huge feud. This AI stuff is hilarious tho.

If Oilers can break through Bob they have a shot at making it a series. He just seems so locked in and the Panthers are so driven, I dont see them losing more than one game if any.

They are going to need Oilers girl to flash her boobs the entire game at the FLA bench to distract them to have a shot.

Only fair, since that kid stands behind the Cat coach with his shirt off the whole time

Agree. Maybe Oilers can win game 4 so no sweep and Panthers win on home ice and hoist cup there. They deserve it. Bob for Conn Smythe too.

UncleWede · 06-14-2024, 11:54 AM

For no apparent reason, I found myself really rooting for the Cats last night

I’m so disappointed that the season is coming to an end. Hockey is such a great sport, many people don’t know what they are missing. The putty cats deserve the cup their GM is a genius. 90 percent of the team is made up of free agents and trades. The Rangers need to learn from him, big mean skilled and disciplined players are where it’s at

I liked him in CBJ. All I know is, Philly's gotta be kicking themselves...

Between you and "Rum talkin"...no wonder I drink Scotch.

Can't hate a team for playing physical. Can blame the refs for not calling some of it.

Considering he was the backup in last years playoffs until Lyon had a bad start and they made a change. Then Bob became a wall.

Last game of the season tonight?

Could be. Would be nice to see Panthers skating with cup on home ice.

30th year anniversary of team in NHL.

Oilers want to drag them back to Edmonton.

tranquility · 06-19-2024, 06:35 PM

So much for that, let's hope for a G7!

It was a fun game to watch! Oilers looked like they picked up right where they left off in Game 4, but then Panthers woke up.... granted they were already down 3-0 at that point...

Game 6 should be fun. It's a fun series to watch.

Who you got (I don't wanna read past posts haha)?

I'm Canadian, so gotta go w the Oil, even though I'm a hapless Leafs fan lol.

TREKER · 06-21-2024, 09:26 AM

The Oilers dug themselves such a deep hole. It would be impressive for them to take it to 7. If Bob has a strong game, it could be over tonight. If they shadow McDavid entire game it will open up ice for others to get more involved.

Will be a fun game tonight.

I think FL will win it. It's easy to see now why both teams made the Finals. Edmonton seems to be able to score at will at times, while Florida seems to have the ability to play a few different ways.

I just go back to the old saying "Defense wins Championships," so I give it to Florida based on that.

That said, it's really a win-win -> if Edmonton wins, maybe more teams go all in on Offense and we see an increase in scoring as fans...

If Florida comes out hitting and maintains that throughout the game, I think they win tonight. It seems like they kind of took it for granted they were going to win the Cup when they opened game 4 with a 3 games to 0 lead. They let Edmonton wake up and gain confidence, though...

Damn, are the Cats toast?
