If they win, it will be interesting to see if the Panthers D can do a better job neutralizing that in their own zone. McDavid and Draisaitl have the extra gear... .the rest of the team jumps on their back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of those 3 have serious issues when the game gets physical and start concentrating on diving and throwing tantrums to the ref instead of playing the game.

Hairy Kneel Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 3 minutes ago, -Buzzsaw- said: I agree... Florida is much more physical... But... Edmonton's defense is bigger than Dallas. If they can continue to play well and avoid mistakes, they will be tough to intimidate. Guys like Kane could also be a factor... Tkachuk and Bennett are 'pretend' tough... Kane is 'Real' tough... If Bennett starts running around I could see Kane laying down the law. Kane was a non-factor in the Canucks series because he knew Big Z would kick his a$$ if he tried anything... I don't see anyone comparable to Z on Florida. Kane last year was awesome This year not as impressive. Kane has been basically a non factor.

I hope Florida destroys these frauds - and yes they are frauds, and yes call me petty. I am still bitter about our series. They had an underwhelming Kings team first, and were very lucky we did not have Demko, a full strength Pettersson and no Boeser game 7. And the Sutherland game was a freaking joke and should not count. How anyone without an Edmonton birth certificate is cheering for them is beyond me. Whiny, no character and they are power play merchants. GO FLORIDA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-dlc- Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Re the extra gear: also factoring in is the fact that they were completely humiliated during the first part of the season. That's motivation and I'm sure that failure, at this point, would loom pretty large for them. I do give them credit for how they turned their season around...we've done that too though. So I hope they crash and burn is what I'm trying to say here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knoblauch has to be given credit for giving the Oil a defensive system... same as Tocchet for the Canucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 12 minutes ago, Wing said: Watching the Florida/rangers series, they're very different from the teams that Oils have faced so far. LA, Dallas, and Canucks aren't fast teams..Oils have adjusted in the latter part of the series against us to keep the game low event (I can't believe I'm saying this but thats defense). I think Florida has the speed to attack in waves and also the non stop grind to wear teams out. It'd be interesting to see how well Oils' current style will match up against Florida.. Id agree with that perspective, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are over-confident after coming back against both Vegas and Colorado... but they just seem to be passively waiting for something to happen. I am not seeing any desperation.
