Can Edmonton really get through the West gauntlet again or was this their magical run?

I don't think this is going to be like Crosby's journey.

My personal opinion is that the oilers got a favourable draw this year and that helped get them to the final. They got La and Vancouver and didn’t have to take on Colorado or Vegas. Dallas was out of gas then they faced them. They may not get another draw like that any time soon. I wonder who won that tkachuk trade between Calgary and Florida

Incredible fans Bettman? Panthers barn was empty with insane low ticket 🎟 prices just 3 years ago.

Florida was offering admission for used lottery tickets about a decade ago as a promotion. If they fall off, I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes back to what it was before.

Sadly, there were tons of lower bowl seats empty for this years semis in Florida. Great team but it’s not exactly a passionate fan base other than the Canadian snowbirds who go to see Canadian teams play.

I understand but McDavid didn’t show up this game. Real no show with the cup on the line.

The location of the arena doesn’t help matters either when it’s so far away from Miami proper. I don’t know why they couldn’t just share the same arena as the Heat in downtown Miami.

I should have been more specific. I meant to say that Bob should have won it. Maybe him losing the last 3 before this took it away but I’d go with Bob for his overall performance.

Have to go back to the old seeding format within each conference.

Yes. I’ve seen the flyers play there. It’s way out of the way tbh.

Yeah. I don’t think the oil get to the final without that path.

I’ve said before they need to go back to 1-8 seeding with the top 3 spots reserved for division winners, although I’d be okay with amending that so that a non-division winner could take one of the top 3 seed if they have a better record than one of the division winners.

I agree. That makes more sense. The stupid divisional setup disadvantages good trams too much.

Crazy stat for Corey Perry. He has lost the Cup 4 times in the last 5 years all with different teams. Has 1 Cup win with ANA.

Flyers just can’t figure out the salary cap world.

Before the cap they were one of the best franchises in hockey. Sucks.

Now back to what’s important! Please get Michkov here before the end of the week. Please draft a difference maker in the first round. Please trade TK!

This!! I expected some news today but I guess maybe there’s deets to work out or that they didn’t want to take away from the scf game 7. I was encouraged by bill chiming in to confirm today. I’m excited to see what DB does this week. Ok with trading anyone not named michkov if it can help us.

Worst case stay @ #12 and draft Catton or Helenius. If by some slim chance Connelly drops to #32 pull the trigger. If not, go back to Russia and draft Yegor Surin.
