I don't know much about hockey but going to watch the end of this,I know there is a 3rd period but if Edmonton gets this I'll pick them in game 7.

Panthers just gave up a 3-0 series lead. Ordinarily you would think the home team has the advantage in a game 7... but I dunno this time around,

18 goals in the last 3 games. 4 in the 3 losses. Crazy turnaround.

Florida is playing sloppy hockey, from a fundamental standpoint. Careless D to D passing on the power play. D pinching without forwards to cover. Slow and lazy line changes that cost them a goal tonight.

On the goal that was washed out on replay, that is all on the puck carrier. Players are taught from a young age to reach that puck across the blue line to make the play onside. Gretzky was famous for this, but everyone learns it. You sure as sh*t don't make a move at the blue line and skate sideways and with the puck on the line. That pulls everyone offsides. The call was close, but correct.

Florida deserves the predicament they are in, and they have no chance in game 7 if the sloppiness continues.
