It feels like watching my little brother finally grow up to become a man. The Panthers have been living in Tampa's shadow for so long, and now the student has become the teacher.

You are ready young padawan. May you soon take your seat on the council.

Teams that win have stars that produce alot as expected of them in the playoffs and depth should have been the title....

Agree, watch it in slowmo. Oilers player never stuck out a knee, the Panthers player tried to avoid the hit and left his leg out. It was more a 2 mins for tripping against Florida then anything.
- Buck Norris


Yes, how dare the player with the puck attempt to avoid a hit and hit another player with his knee. Should be suspended for life for getting hurt on that play.

Drais hit so much worse than the knee. He went up into the face with elbow, made contact with head first.

….Somewhere Kadri is wondering HOW MANY GAMES KADRI will be suspended playoff games for the elbow/headshot.

Just a more complete squad. Cats are going to hoist a cup.

Bob is simply on his game and their depth scoring when the top guys don’t score is impressive …

- senstroll

It doesn't look good for the Oilers, but never bet against McJesus.

Let's see if he is indeed the Kwisatz Haderach and can drag the collective corpse of the Edmonton Oilers across the finish line first.

I think Jesus gets them a game, maybe two. But, I don't think he can do it alone. Florida's defense is smothering the Oilers zone entries and the Cats are winning the board battles. It's like Alan French said in the previous thread - it's like a bunch of starved hobos fighting over a can of beans to get the puck. The Oilers can't win if they can't possess and shoot.

Florida in 5 or 6, barring a miracle from our Lord McDavidchrist

I believe Wedgie added the food aspect and it was a ham sandwhich.

Either way, makes me want to find out where I can stream Hard Times with Charles Bronson.

#16 is the best defensive forward since Bryan Trottier, said Michael Jordan

The Oilers were a powerhouse until they had to face the eastern conference. Goals are a lot harder to come by over there.

I think Brady Skjei may be the guy here

4 or 5X7M

Difference maker on the backend.

Then get Rielly a half decent RHD partner.

Eastern Conference is definitely the tougher conference.. League wanted Vegas to win last year to get more fans.. Also, probably not.. Since I just made that up now

I believe this to be 100% true.

Which then can also be applied to point totals for Hyman and the rest of the Oilers squad every year. Not sure Hyman scores 50 on the East, never mind the numbers McJ and Drysaddle put up.

Wonder if fancy stats demonstrates the same?

I have to admit, this most recent season of the Leafs show made me conduct a searching and fearless inventory of my BeLeaf. And I realized I was wrong in my optimism previously; this year is when the prophecy will be fulfilled.
