Well then, it is what it is.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Please don't drop, or otherwise dent, Lord Stanley's Cup. You Floridians, you.

Otherwise, congrats.

Sad, but life goes on and the Oilers will learn from this experience.

What we learned from this series? You can have two of the best players in the NHL right now, but if you run against a great defence, then you have to adjust and other players have to step up, like Mattias Janmark, Warren Foegele and others did.

Rest in peace, Johnny Hockey.

Leon Draisaitl stays in Edmonton. 8 years and 112 Million $.

With 14 Million $/year, he is now the best paid player in the NHL.

 

[JR1012]

Today we witnessed history in the NHL.
Ovechkin ties Gretzy in most scored goals.
6 more games to go to break the record.

 

[JR1012]

895! Ovechkin has done it.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Sweet, sweet Edmonton advances! (Gotta love it when the Kings had an empty net and the Oilers scored another goal.)

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Oh, Canada... sweet, sweet Edmonton advances to the final after dispatching Dallas last night!

I don't really care for Florida so really hope the Oilers will end up hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup this year.

Let's go Oilers!

 

[JR1012]

Can't wait for the final. The Oilers have home ice advantage but the Panthers looked very good on the road in the playoffs.
Oilers in 6 or 7.

 

[JR1012]

The Panthers were 30-0 when leading in a playoff game until.... today. 😀

I wasn't able to watch, was that in game 3 where the Oilers got pounded 6-1?

Yes. The Oilers tried to play hard but that resulted in 85 penalty mins and the 5on5 fight was, when the score was 5-1.

Dang, sounds like the Oilers really dropped the ball yesterday, bummer!

Thanks for the info, hopefully the Oil will come back better in the next game!

It’s only right and just a Canadian team wins the cup

Time for some more 5 on 5 fisticuffs!!

That was a good game. We got us a series. Can’t help but feel Florida is the better team.

Yes, the series is tied 2-2, I'm really hoping the Oilers can pull it off but am prepared for disappointment.

Is it even possible it's been since 1993 that a Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup? They get into the final but then only end up runnerup, it's high time a Canadian team hoisted the Cup and I don't even care which one!

Same. I willing to set aside my Canucks bias to see it happen!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Oilers are down 3-2 in the series, it's do or die tonight. They're playing at Florida so I'm already prepared they'll lose and once again it'll be Canada got close, but no cigar. (Hope I'm wrong.)

There’s always the Canucks (abbotsford)

Go Canucks!

Great game. Highly energized arena

I was confused at first because I'm not familiar with the AHL teams, I didn't know there was such a thing as the Calder Cup till I googled it just now. Looks like the Abbotsford Canucks are doing quite well against the Charlotte Checkers - good!

I guess AHL games are available to watch only on Flo?

 

[scribers]

They are available on Flo so I’m hating Flo less and less.

Vancouver is so championship starved. They are going a little nuts for this series
