Whoo-hoo!!! (forgot I'm now rooting for EDM, lol)

Skinner outplaying Oetinger. 2-0 Oil

I picked Dallas but I’d be quite alright if the Oilers prevail

As a Blues fan, I'm kind of wired to hate DAL. Haven't felt as strongly about it as I used to though. Not anything like how I just can't stand BOS.


Yeesh. Terrible turnover by EDM.




Woof. EDM puck management is terrible. -5. -6 now I guess.

I was listening to the NHL Network on the road today and they said Boston had 7 too many men on the ice penalties in their playoff games. 7

They showed a stat on TruTv a little bit ago about that. Lol, it's like watching a game with NextGenStats doing the commentary during the game. Talking about stuff like "goalie angle," and "Goalie distance to cover," etc. right now.

okay, that's enough of that. Non-stop spewing of datapoints, most of which I'm not that interested in. Back to regular broadcast.

****ing Stars. Good grief.

Seguin times 2

Ugh

Then Oettinger makes a hell of a save on a breakaway

I’m rooting for Florida Edmonton just for the travel distance.

Ha, my first thought was that possibly being the longest distance traveled for a SCF series ever, but it's actually not as far as I would have guessed... for reference, it's about the same distance from Sunrise, FL to the SF bay area than it is from Sunrise to Edmonton.

Well, shit.

****ing hell, about 15 opportunities for either team to win this damn game.

BIG O

McJesus

Good!

Whoo-hoo!!!

Rangers score 5 minutes in and then all hell breaks lose. This is going to be good

Who do we want to win this series?

Screw it. Tarasenko's a Panther. I'm a FLA fan for this series.

Going for an original 6 team. Rangers

And we are tied

Whoo-hoo FLA. Tied up.

Free hockey!

This has been a fun game despite only 2 goals. Both goalies playing lights out. Think it’s going to take a fluke goal to win it the way they are playing

Well it wasn’t a fluke goal it was a blast from Goodrow for the Rangers. Damn

4 minutes in and Benn scores on the first shot of the game

And the Oilers tie it up a minute later by Ceci

It’s been all Oilers since they scored. Shots 13-2 Oilers

Hey that's Travis!!!



Also, how is it possible that even the DAL Stars cheerleaders are better looking than the Chiefs cheerleaders???

Meh. EDM couldn't even get a shot off at the end. Not a great ending.

Both series tied at 1 apiece and hopefully both go 7

^

3 goals already in this Rangers/Panthers game, 7 minutes in. 2-1 Rangers

OMG RANGERS

WHAT A STEAL

The better team doesn’t always win in hockey and today was a perfect example of that

Hyman scores 2 minutes into the game. 1-0 Oil

McDavid makes it 2-0

Hey, EDM is actually shooting instead of trying to make the extra super-fancy pass.

Good gravy. I could be wrong, but I feel like it just doesn't matter who wins this series. Either DAL/EDM is just going to be too much for the Rangers/Panthers. These guys are really freaking good.

All Stars in the second so far. Robertson makes it 2-1

Robertson times 2. Tied at 2

Johnston makes it 3-2 Dallas

Henrique ties it at 3 with 52 seconds to go in second

That is not embellishment

Agreed.

His head wouldn’t of jerked back like that had it been

Fun 3rd so far.

Robertson with a hatty. 4-3 Stars with 8 minutes to go

Stars seal the deal with an empty net goal and win 5-3. Dallas is a road team nightmare for opposing teams

Reinhart wins it in overtime for the Panthers and now series is tied at 2. Igor damn near stole another one for the Rangers. Panthers were in control of this one. Back to MSG

5 minutes in and Oilers down 2-0 already

And the Oilers comeback to tie it up at 2

Great game.

Oilers score 2 quick ones and now lead 4-2

Great win for the Oilers. They totally threw away game three imo but showed guts in this game. Now the pressure is back on Dallas and their coach who is historical for choking in these spots.

Missed the game, but watched the highlights. Looked like a great game.

Rangers just scored their 6th shorty in these playoffs. Unreal. Up 1-0 in the second

The fat lady is warming up. :(

Florida comes back to win 3-2 and now up 3 games to 2

Don't think Stars are going to be able to come out of this hole and their playing sloppy as hell to boot.


Real bad time to be slumping.

Oilers getting our hopes up.... before the game, I was thinking I'd be more concerned if they lost this game as they're more inclined to implode under the pressure.

When did Smiley become a NHL talking head?

Skinner is making some sick saves.

Skinner is proving his doubters wrong including myself

Probably the worst I’ve seen DAL play in the postseason so far. And really we’re talking about maybe a handful of actual mistakes. Looking forward seeing how they bounce back.

The Oilers got two power play goals and that's a huge red flag for Dallas because if the Oilers power play returns to it's all world form then it can mess up a team's mentality on the ice because they know one foul can open the door for a goal immediately. Also it seems like the tough series against VGK and the AVS is finally starting catch up with Dallas now as they looked tired.

Game six is gonna be very interesting now. Last year my vegas went 3-0 up, then Dallas managed to steal two straight and set up game six in their building. We then went into Dallas and put on one of the greatest performances in playoff history and destroyed them 6-0. The last thing the Oilers need is for this to go to game seven because Pete Deboar has literally never lost a game seven in his career. So the Oilers need to end it now and not tempt fate by facing the Deboar voodoo if it goes another game.

Zebra took one right in the yarbles

Last time I said "this is how the Rangers die every season," they scored like 4 goals... but, it's really how they die every season, their offense just disappears.

I had the Panthers winning in 5, 5 and 6, looks like I was off by only one.

Being a Bolts fan, I see a lot of the Panthers and the Eastern Conference, not nearly as much the Western teams as I can’t stay up that late most nights, but I’ve thought all year the Panthers were the best team I’d seen.

So NOW Panarin shows up

They've done a hell of a job transitioning from that fun offensive team that promptly loses to a decent defensive team in the playoffs to a real all-around playoff force... and in the matter of a few years.

Go Oilers.

I think the Stars/Panthers could be a relatively boring cluster****, where both teams have good talent but their styles just cancel each other out... so hopefully the Oil can prevent that.

Welp, there goes my give a shit on who wins.

Hope the oilers win in 7

There goes my prediction of the Rangers winning it all. The curse of the Presidents Cup is real

Congrats to Florida. It's incredible how they are back in this spot after one of the worst beatings a team has received in a Stanley cup final series in history. They were mentally destroyed, outplayed and got beat up aswell. But to come through that, rebuild and have a great regular season was one thing. But to then make another great run to the final shows that last year was not the fluke most thought it was. It will be a tough series for whoever faces them no doubt and the experience they had from last year should have them fired up.

As for New York. They always have a tough team, perform well in the regular season and can look very special on any given day but getting over that hump is clearly an issue. It'll be interesting to see what they do to that roster this offseason.

Rooting for the Oilers today but I'm wise enough to know that Deboar is a magician and has a habit of getting himself out of these kind of holes. He doesn't lose game seven's so the Oilers have to finish this today.
