June 15Jun 15 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.

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.
June 15Jun 15 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
June 15Jun 15 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.

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. 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.
June 16Jun 16 Marchand seems to pretty much the the difference in this series to meHard 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.
June 17Jun 17 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.

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.

But if Nashville is rebuilding they need to sell the farm for Saros.
June 17Jun 17 Defense was good enough to get to the finals two years in a row. A real goalie is what they need.
June 18Jun 18 that was bullshit giving the roughing after the Kane slash but easy way to give Edmonton advantage 4x4.

June 18Jun 18 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.

June 18Jun 18 Every time Stuart Skinner allows a goal. I always imagine superintendent Chalmers from The Simpsons yelling at principal Skinner.

June 18Jun 18 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
June 18Jun 18 that was weird. not sure I've seen a team come over the boards with 10 seconds left... not enough PP for Edmonton. Edited June 18Jun 18 by dcar00
June 18Jun 18 Finished the Stanley Cup Finals with 2 Makers Cask Strength Ole Fashioneds and a Elijah Rye. Go Cats!!! Back2back!

June 18Jun 18 Glad this series is over. I’d grown tired of the matchup and had definitively decided Florida was the better team.
