Coconuts Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 31 minutes ago, Canuck You said: If that's their best and can't even score one single goal or even get half a goal and get a review then good luck, I'd get the brooms ready. Florida's a tough match up for them, Edmonton's powerplay is their bread and butter but Florida's just so good defensively 26 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Their powerplay is what gives them confidence and momentum. As soon as the Panthers started shutting that down they were done. They’re not a strong 5 on 5 team. Agreed, Florida's a more well rounded team in general 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in a very good spot to make some key decisions this offseason that will Accomplish that. What we can’t do is to rely on short term fixes ( more things like the OEL buyout) to continually fix mistakes, that will sink us. I don’t mean trading away every first round pick and top prospects. We have a competent management group capable of making tough decisions and savvy trades which gives me confidence that the team will carry this years momentum into next season.

My main concern is that this management group wasnt here for the decade of misery following the last time a management group went for it, and missed. The way MG went about it screwed the franchise for a long time. I hope this group doesn't do the same Edited June 9 by stawns 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are now 3 “encouraging loses” away from losing the Stanley cup. It’s a disappointing lose; you played your best hockey, and it wasn’t good enough. Now, FLA will probably play better ( they will) and you will still have to deal with Bob. “encouraging lose”, hockey gods cost us, we are a very confident group.... Those are all telltales of a team that’s worried if they actually admit they are discouraged, they are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Florida played an average game while Edmonton played one of their best games of the playoffs. And Florida still won 3-0. Don’t believe anything these panelists and fake reporters are saying. Edmonton is in complete panic mode right now. They couldn’t even score with an extra player on the ice. McDavid is having a nervous breakdown right now. How is he going to win the Cup without being able to score? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDavid is having a nervous breakdown right now. How is he going to win the Cup without being able to score? I think Edmonton probably feels pretty good about their game, all things considered. They hit a hot goalie and outplayed the hell out of a team everyone said was going to walk all over them. The thing about Bob is he can be unreal one game and absolutely horrible the next. If the Oilers can split, they then have home ice advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a front runner for the Conn Smythe and a former two time Vezina trophy winner who also took his team to the finals last year as well. He's been playing lights out for most of the playoffs. Has given up more than 2 goals in only 4 of the 19 games Florida has played this playoffs. Edmonton is pretty much screwed unless they can get the refs to give them unlimited power play opportunities for the rest of the series. Edmonton has ZERO shot if the game is 5v5...

Johnny Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 9 hours ago, Ghostsof1915 said: It just dawned on me. He's like Yzerman before Scotty Bowman became his coach and got him to play a 2 way game. So I guess Tocc will be a target for Edmonton to poach our coach? Ive really wanted to use that comparison but I dont think McDavid has it in him his whining all the time for penalties tells me he wont put his head down and the work in i know crosby used to whine but he stopped around 23 and focused on the game Mcdavid is set in his ways 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
