Stanley Cup: Florida Panthers [ATL1] vs Edmonton Oilers [PAC2] - Florida wins 4-3

[midniteowl]

C'mon Panthers, you gonna get shutout by Stinker!

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Classic no players in front of the net / in dangerous areas.

Let's just do everything we didn't in games 1-3.

But like... that seemed onside to me period, let alone there not being enough to overturn.

That's insane.

Yes, I want the Oilers to lose, but taking a step back, I think that was indeed onside.

In fairness, given the razor thin margin, if anyone thinks someone "needs glasses" by having this call mistaken, they're the one that needs their eyes checked as obviously you're seeing what you want to see.

To make tonight even worse my wife, from Sherwood park but is the most causal oilers fan ever now despite being a fan when she was young, , has decided the series is exciting and needs to have the game on. She’s on the ‘canadian team should win’ bandwagon. Time to go outside and enjoy the weather.
And she’s sleeping on the couch tonight.

At least things are trending the right way.

Hopefully the refs don't interfere when FLA picks up any momentum with head-scratching penalties against the grain of play.

I know, I get that and I agree. Maybe a time limit on the review? If a crew of guys can't decide, with all the technology available to them, in say 30 seconds, a minute, I don't know, then it's just defers to the call on the ice.

Coilers figured out their crappy D finally. Good for them. But the stars and Panthers should have had no problem adjusting and burying them. Something weird going on with the teams going to sleep halfway through the series with the greasers.

Go Flams

Skinner working on a shutout.

[CroCop]

It was down to tonight or never for Florida. They will have no chance in game 7

Best to take the advice given to mafia Don Tony Soprano and start meeting with the top divorce lawyers in your area, that way they can't take her on as a client due to a conflict of interest.

In hindsight it’s shocking that the Oilers even lost a game in this series, let alone 3. Edmonton is outclassing Florida in all facets of the game.

[MonaTone]

Every panther looking for someone else to make the play.

[Igottago]

Panthers look like they know they're gonna blow it. Do they realize there is still hockey to be played?

Probably some consequence of repeated exposure to Edmonton

The greasers built some immunity from something in the water

Let me get this straight, the NHL didn't conspire to have an American team win the lottery to draft McDavid but ever since Edmonton got him they have been colluding with the refs to have the Oilers win. Lol

My problem with it is it takes the fun out of the game. Throughout the history of hockey human error has been a part of it for generations. Might as well just have a couple guys out there to just break up scrums and have a computer call everything. It sucks.

Yep.

Skynet will look after it soon enough anyway so I s'pose I won't worry about it.

This is the only thing I ever see you post. Some variation of this. It's weird.

Feels like you post this every game.
