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

[Chi-Town Hustler]

Can't wait for Chucky's post game non-chalant, canned answers. Dude has been invisible.

Why hasn't big ol Walt come in to berate the team into a win?

Go Flams

Most of the blame should go to the players IMO. This Panthers team is beyond pathetic, and even worse than Vancouver or Dallas. Don't think I've ever seen a team just give up the way Florida has over these last 3 games. Just no fight in them whatsoever. What an embarrassing group.

This year's Flames team could probably beat the Oilers FFS.

Get it right. Period.

Oilers got it right.

Sucks as a Flames fan, but it's the right call.

All the penalties are subjective to how the referees want the game to go, they even have the ability to waive off an icing. On an offside so close they should also have the ability to say it was too close to make a difference. The NHL rules are stupid. Either call everything by the rules or let everything be subjective to how they want to call it.

What's the stats for a team up 3-0 when the series is 3-3? 16-4 Edmonton in the last 8 periods, I need optimism.

Oilers ARE good. And they have one hell of a coach.

Flames fans... welcome to the dark ages.

Eat a d*ck! Please

Would this rank as the biggest choke in the history of the big four leagues? Harder to judge with the NFL only being single game.

But NBA and baseball I bet it is.

The man on the right is my Grandfather on my dad's side. He passed before I was born and this is the only picture that I have of him.

I have to think that there is no way that his spirit will allow this to happen!

Anyone done a wellness check on Cali? As fun as it is mocking Panthers for ####ing this up, as Jiri said, this is nightmare/PTSD inducing as a fan.

That’s silly.

They fought last game. Bob let in a stinker

This game, they need more

Someone convince me the Panthers can win game 7

I need a glimmer of hope

"Tkachoke" was coined for ol' Walt--Matty just keeping up the family tradition.

David Amber has had three different pairs of pants on this game. Wonder why.

Was supposed to golf at 4:30 mountain time, but our group moved it 2 hours earlier and I got home in time for this crap.
I wish I was golfing

Going to book something in my schedule for Monday evening. I can't keep watching these games; it's not fun being worked up over it.

Yup, we get it, oilers are definitely good. Two generational players on that team. They should be good, it’s surprising it took them this long really. We come here to complain and cheer against those losers up north. Go post on the oilers fan sites you might get a better response

So far the oddsmakers have had every home team as the favourite. I suspect that will still be the case for Game 7.

Oilers made a shift this season - they learned how to weaponize their speed and talent into a 2 way game that has basically caught everyone off guard in ways that I just can't explain.

People are complaining that Vancouver, Dallas, Florida just aren't showing up. They are. They are just being completely out competed and out classed in nearly every aspect of the game, night in and night out. It's the coaching staff - they have adapted every strategy and gained full buy-in on a roster filled with talent. The Oilers may have some spotty defense, but it's not horrible, and all they need is adequate goaltending (expected, but now they have great goaltending some how). It's a tilted team that can out speed every opponent they have faced.

Personally though, I do think Florida is carrying some injuries - Barkov in particular, possibly Bob. Drai should have been given a suspension for the hit on Barkov, as someone mentioned earlier, TSN turning point of the series.

Lol it isn't happening. Florida forgot how to play hockey. Moment is too big for them.

[activeStick]

Wow these Panthers...
