    One thing I love about the Surl, whether we are Jets, Avs, or Stars fans, we all hate Vegas.

    Great series between two absolute heavyweights. Sucks there had to be a loser. Wish the NHL would scrap divisions and just slot 1-8 like the “old” days.

Arrozconpollo with goal #5 for the Cats!

Someone who knows more than me, what the fuck Edmonton? Did they spend it all on Dallas? Credit Fla, good snatch and all, but what a dud,  mess in goal and no legs.

I figured it would be Florida in 5.  Edmonton is a one guy(ok maybe 2) team.  Florida knows how to counter pressure(while putting on pressure as well) and Edmonton's tactics.  They've taken McDavid out of the series pretty good.  Dallas had no chance of doing that, they don't have the athletes to stay with Edmonton consistently enough.  Oilers didn't have to worry about counters from Dallas.

Edmonton has certainly played better than I expected.  The goalie switch worked for a game to keep them in it or it was goodnight nurse...plus some serious puck luck for Oil as well.

 

flip side for me

oil are done and mean machine are ready to lay waste to the canadian dream

the zebras have kept it clean - no fuckery - so the league will remain uncompromised and canada unfulfilled

I was thinking how edm is a bad matchup for Dallas, and Fla is a bad matchup for edm, but I wonder if Dallas and Florida would have been a better matchup.

Edmonton is much more balanced than it has been but, yes, McDavid and Draisaitl are so unbelievably good, it might appear they’re a one or two-man team. Hyman scored 50 goals last year and got hurt for the playoffs against the Stars. He was playing very well when he got hurt.

Florida is just a spectacular team, one that added Marchand and Seth Jones this year — and they’ve been to the top of the mountain. They know what it takes. The Oilers are still learning.

Marchand seems to pretty much the the difference in this series to me

Hard to argue that after he became the first player to score 5+ goals in a Cup Final for two different teams.

Bennett probably gets the Conn Smythe but Marchand might be the Finals MVP (if they had one) after five games.

Skinner back in net for Game 6. Hold on to your butts!

seriously that tandem may be worse than when the Flyers rolled out Leighton and Boucher in the playoffs. And that Flyers team was at least supposed to have Ray Emery as well, though his hip condition was discovered that same season. 

This is some Dodgers/Padres, Rams/Raiders shit

The Oilers should be moving heaven-and-earth to go and get a stud goalie. It's definitely their albatross. I bet Skinner gets lit up pretty good tonight as the Panthers smell blood.

Their defense is also kinda meh, need at least one more dfd capable of top 4 minutes. But if Nashville is rebuilding they need to sell the farm for Saros.

Defense was good enough to get to the finals two years in a row. A real goalie is what they need. 

that was bullshit giving the roughing after the Kane slash but easy way to give Edmonton advantage 4x4.

Could I interest them in Matt Dumba?

Come on, oil, give us one more game

Hey oil, go fuck yourselves 

Nice rack behind Paul Maurice in that interview

Edmonton's first reaction to adversity is always bitchassedness. 
 

At the beginning of the series I was neutral, and the first 2 games were awesome. In G3, EDM started their shit. It's been FLA for me since then, and they have some hateable players in their own right. 
Fuck Oil. 

I'm good with Fraudmonton getting taken out in 6.  should have been 5.

I mean, they are from Canada...

Every time Stuart Skinner allows a goal. I always imagine superintendent Chalmers from The Simpsons yelling at principal Skinner.

They should be really polite then. Eh?

in hindsight, if we had drawn oil in the 1st round i think we might have advanced

next season if at even strength, injuries, form, i would want to play them 1st

How do you say, 4 fucking goals' in French?

that was weird.  not sure I've seen a team come over the boards with 10 seconds left...

not enough PP for Edmonton.

Finished the Stanley Cup Finals with 2 Makers Cask Strength Ole Fashioneds and a Elijah Rye.  Go Cats!!! Back2back!

McJesus should be inspired as hell watching them hoist the Cup again!

Fuck bitchass Kane. Say it again.

Turn your back on the greatest tradition in sports.

The Stars first 2 rounds were brutal. EDM's first 2 rounds were like practice. 

Glad this series is over. I’d grown tired of the matchup and had definitively decided Florida was the better team.
