the NHL Thread

I think Edmonton wins game 6. It's destiny that this bad mother goes 7

 

[Irishman]

I have a feeling it's over tomorrow, but nothing will surprise me at this point.

Same could have been said for Toronto going back to Florida for game 6. And Toronto is no McJesus

 

[Irishman]

I don't disagree. Elimination games are always the most difficult, but I think Florida is very capable of shutting the door tomorrow.

 

[goblue96]

This is the only downside to the NHL Playoffs.

 

[Irishman]

The NHL doesn't need to delay the start of the Final the way that they do. That's a self-inflicted wound if you ask me.

 

[goblue96]

Or two days of travel between some of the games. It's 2025. They are traveling on team planes not commercial. Fuck TV.

 

[kella]

they've got a good excuse though when they play these cross country series, esp with the 2-2-1-1-1 format.

 

[Irishman]

Agreed with that for the final travel, but they didn't need a 6-day break after the conference finals.

Wouldn't have been 6 days if Dallas and Carolina had bothered to show up

Skinner in net for Edmonton tonight @silverwheels

 

[silverwheels]

Doesn't matter who is in net if the Oilers can't score.

 

[goblue96]

Barkley Inside The Glass

LFG!

 

[goblue96]

Save us Big Butt Skinner

 

[CJ_24]

Oh God, now the Panthers are yelling "RED" during the National Anthem. Fucking stars and knights

 

[OU11]

Damn

 

[CJ_24]

Wow, what a play. The steal, the deke, the move, the shot. Unreal

 

[Irishman]

That's not what Edmonton needs. Oof.

 

[OU11]

I still dislike the Panthers greatly, but fuck they're good

 

[silverwheels]

Crazy how Edmonton's best defenseman coming back from injury has actually made the defense worse.

 

[goblue96]

Maybe they should try not turning the puck over in their own zone.

Passing the puck to/along the boards is red meat for the Panthers

 

[goblue96]

They are like watching a Mourinho-corched team. They just wait for you to fuck up and pounce on the mistake.

[OU11]

Petroleros just can’t score

 

[Irishman]

BOB

 

[CJ_24]

Forsling made a great play on McDavid early during the 4 on 4 too

 

[OU11]

Brouchard just handing it over

 

[COYinzer]

Absolute bomb from Tkachuk

 

[Irishman]

Cooked.

 

[CJ_24]

It was over when he got to the high slot

 

[kella]

Bettman is either too honest or incompetent. A back to back champ from the area of the country least associated with people interested in hockey (unless their team is really really good) is a fucking disaster.

 

[CJ_24]

The Petroleros look tired

 

[CJ_24]

And there it is

 

[Irishman]

Put in Pickard. That was brutal.

 

[CJ_24]

Boucher is beside himself

 

[COYinzer]

He looked like a penguin in net and I'm not talking about Fleury or Murray.

 

[Irishman]

Boucher is beside himself

He's absolutely correct, but he was also simping for Skinner last game.

 

[CJ_24]

More like Jarry, Amiright

[Irishman]

Marchand for Conn Smythe.

 

[goblue96]

Edmonton is also minutes away from entering Cap Hell.

 

[CJ_24]

Edmonton was spent after game 4. Blame Skinner all you want, but they've been cooked last two games, and honestly could have been swept considering their only wins came in OT while three of four Florida's wins were blowouts

 

[goblue96]

No movement and a no trade clause. BUM

 

[CJ_24]

The Conn Smythe race is more competitive than this series has turned out be

Series was over in Game 3 when they just toyed with Edmonton. Oilers never came close to doing that to Florida. Could have used a guy like Hyman in this series.

 

[Bmack]

Ma' Panthers and another parade down A1A

 

[CJ_24]

Way to be classy in defeat Kane

 

[COYinzer]

Congrats Cats!

 

[Irishman]

Marchand for Conn Smythe.

Can't really complain about Bennett. Very deserving.
