It's Stanley Cup time: Need a hockey thread: Oilers vs Panthers

[BigJCy]

Wow, just missed.

Where has this Edmonton been all series?

Both teams Edmonton and Dallas, down 0-3 win game 4 in routs. Will be interesting to see if it leads to anything more than just avoiding sweeps.

Actually, the Oilers outplayed the Panthers in Games 1 and 3 as well but Bobrovksy outplayed Skinner significantly and the Oilers had some bad luck, quite frankly.
It doesn't matter now because they're down 3-1 in reality but the series has been much closer than the 3-1 would indicate.

Definitely outplayed Florida n game #1, but not so sure in game 2. The stats that are typically published don't provided a very good snapshot of the game. For example, I can outshoot the other team 2-1 but if all my shots come from the edges, and their shots come from the slot, then SOG can be misleading.

One thing I have noticed about Florida is they love to use the trailer on rushes, and if the opposing team doesn't pick him up, he effectively has a break-away against Skinner. The Oilers tightened that up a bit in game #5 but they have to be really, really committed to team defense, because the Panthers can burn you - fast!

Wow, looks like this series has turned in a hurry. Oilers whippin' them again.

Florida is officially in trouble and even the fans know it - you can see it on their faces.

 

[BigJCy]

Panthers have cut it to a 1 Goal Game. 15 minutes left.

This third period has been hard hitting.

 

[NetflixAndClone]

These 5 minutes would be giving me a heart attack as an oilers fan.

 

[BigJCy]

And we are headed to a Game 6.

LONG flight for Florida that I'm sure they didn't want to have to take.

 

[JP4CY]

Even though the Oilers still got a goal, Tkachuck laid it out.

 

[JP4CY]

Edmonton travels well.

Sean McDonough is great on the call but I wish we’d get Doc for one game each year in the finals.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Looked up and NHL a team down 3-0 has come back to win 4 times vs once in mlb and never in nba.

Yep, only once in the Final though. 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs over Detroit Red Wings.

Oilers get on the board 1st again.
