Panthers Oilers rematch

I like it!!!

8 straight game 7 losses yikes that was ugly to boot

Go Oilers

I’m on Panthers -120 in their series against Carolina.

Oilers (-115) and Panthers (-129) are both favorites to win their series.

Dallas (-123) and Carolina (-124) both have home ice and are favorites at home.

Slight home ice advantage for the home teams is offset by major home ice advantage for the lower seeded teams.

Interesting.

Love the Panthers in game 1 as a dog. Carolina has just been sitting around while Panthers are in rhythm playing playoff hockey, love them in the 1P even more.

It's time to see what the Canes are made of. No one cares about first and second round playoff success. Florida is the defending champ. Florida swept us in the ECF 2 seasons ago, all games decided by 1 goal. Game 1 was a 4 OT thriller. Game 2 also went to a single OT. Game 3 a 1-0 win. Game 4 won with 5 seconds remaining on the clock. A lot of guys have come and gone, but we still have a good chunk of the core.

We really need to win game 1. We need to capitalize on arguably being the best home team in the league. We need Freddie to keep up his success. We need to at least breakeven on special teams.

While Florida may be in more rhythm than us, I'm hoping their travel will give us a leg up. We have been sitting around, but I think 4 days off is right on the edge of the range where you can start falling out of rhythm heading into the next series.

I guess we'll find out.

...leaf fans

At this point, I think they might rather miss the playoffs than continue going through these playoff defeats haha. Sorry Phil.

Might be the case if they need to start a rebuild.

Marner is gone, unless somehow they trade Auston.

Maybe Tavares resigns.

Knies could get offer sheeted, but will be costly either way. They'll keep him.

believe sportsnet also had a stat last night that the panthers had more shot attempts in the first 40 minutes than anyone did in any game this season. like more than anyone did vs the ****hawks, or the sharks, or whoever, anyone. incredible


bieksa's immediate reaction after the game was for them to run it back and try again next year, but come on. i don't think he even believes that. literally the definition of insanity to do so
(not to mention ~impossible due to the salary cap, and who are free agents, etc)

This is the troll thing to say. Leafs haven't learned after a decade+ of post season failures. Their fans have wanted to run it back every year for the past 5.

Saying run it back is a dig at them, because after 7 attempts, they are starting to realize that perhaps running it back is not the optimal course.

Bennett will elbow Freddy in the head before the first commercial break

Let's hope not. We are ****ed if we lose Freddie.

I saw some talk about Utah or Pittsburgh as possible destinations for Marner, and I can see either as a good fit for him. At this moment, it is sounding like he wants to see what free agency brings.

Shanahan has got to go, for the right amount and term, resign Tavares, MUST sign Knies and he wants to stay, Laughton and Lorentz were nothing special except for a few blips, Holmberg and Jarnkrok got to go, need to get rid of Reilly somehow. Max the pac might retire and is currently deciding, They want to get rid of Domi, who is lil overpaid, which is a bummer lil bit. They NEED to take the C off Matthews, which was a horrible decision, and posted way back when it happened, it would be a mistake. Nylander or Tanev are the first 2 picks to be Captain.

Go from there on whoever is available for some secondary scoring.

It's ****ing go time.

the refs really hate the canes for some reason. think coach rowdy roddy legit might kill one of them before this season is over

****ing disastrous

sick backheel. big goal

Got one back. Can't believe the refs didn't determine that as a kicking motion.

That’s a kick, not a redirect. There’s no follow through on a redirect.
