Oilers only had 10 shots on net. That is crazy considering the firepower they have

That was satisfying... DeBoer got DeBoer'd, and by the freakin' Oilers of all teams.

Yep I told ya'll it was a very bad sign for Dallas that the Oilers powerplay looked back to goat form in the last game and when that's the case it can disturb a team mentally. When my VGK faced them at their peak the key was dominating them 5 on 5 and staying out of the box as much as possible. We lost heavily the two games we didn't. But the longer the series went the more we shut it down and once we did that you could see the Oilers get deflated. This is gonna be crucial for Florida. You can't let that power play dictate the series at all.
As for Dallas LOL. I shake my head and shiver thinking about how we used to suffer like this under Deboar. His power play went close to twenty straight without scoring? Yep, I know that feeling very well. And we got to two conference finals in a row too only to come up short. He's literally the NHL version of Andy Reid before he got Pat. It's hilarious tbh. Our series against them they had the puck luck but we definitely took something out of them and so did the AVS. I'm happy the Oilers won and it's amazing when you think about how the season started for them. The finals should be close. When we played Florida last finals they were dumb and kept trying to bully us which gave up a ton of penalties which we punished them with. So it will be very interesting to see how they approach this one as they are naturally a physical team. Last edited by UChieffyBugger; 06-03-2024 at 08:40 AM.. |

Yeah, it's interesting because it's really tough to trust the Oilers to continue playing at this level and similar for the Panthers who have at least made the Finals... yet now, as opposed to playing against a team with a proven track record of playing a clean series where you trust their opponent to take care of business, they're playing each other. |

Mavs/Celtics play Thursday and Sunday, so they're probably avoiding that, whether it was starting Thursday or starting Friday and then Sunday. And then they can also line up an extra day off for travel while the NBA plays the following Wednesday instead of going Sat/Mon/Wed.
Sucks for me since I probably won't be near a TV for games 6 or 7... I had done the playoff math a couple weeks ago and it looked like the series would be over just in time. I'd be mildly surprised if it doesn't go at least 6. |

Florida has better goaltending and D. More depth in my opinion. I think their third lines contribute more.
So indeed it will come down to whether McDrai can be super human. I’m going with Panthers in 7 but would be fine if Canada finally gets their first Cup since ‘93 |

That kid behind the behind the bench with his shirt off, gold chain, and backwards hat just swayed me towards FL hockey

1-0 Panthers after 1. Oilers will have a power play to start the second. All Oilers that 20 minus the score
