The Leafs can't make a Cup Final so the Oilers decided to treat Leafs fans to a classic Leafs performance. Go down big, claw back into it with a third period comeback to give you hope and have it fizzle into nothing but despair
Yeah but atleast the Leafs won the game when they made the comeback
Yet they're getting swept like only an Oiler can do lol
@@Leafs888oh your reaching there to find that light at the end.of the tunnel 😅
What a ridiculous comment, homie loves the leafs lol.
This is what the Oilers look like if they play in the Leafs division in the playoffs.
'The Save' is still the Tampa Bay lightning behind the back save. Set the pace for the whole run
yup
Exactly.
💯
100%, this is an amazing save in the series right now....but that Tampa one was a thing of legends.
100%. Game 2 was tied 2-2 late in the 2nd when he made that save and Florida didn't win it until OT. That puck from Dumba goes in it's likely 1-1 headed to Tampa. Completely different series.
finally a review that is not about how the Oilers are bad, but about how good the Panthers actually are...
I think Steve has been like that this entire time. He was very clear that the Oilers are a fantastic team (and probably would’ve beaten any other Eastern team pretty handedly) but that the Panthers are just something different this year. Only reaction videos I’ve been watching. Hard as an Oiler fan to see my team misrepresented by everyone. This Florida team is insane and will win a deserved cup.
@@wwpjd28 I wasn't criticizing Steve: it's just that most of the other youtuber's reviews of game 3, I have seen so far, are only focusing on "stupid" and "unforgivable" mistakes that some Oiler's players did... These reviews tend to refuse to accept that Florida forces the Oilers to make these mistakes...
@@SirVTropic I agree. I didn’t think you were criticizing Steve. I thought (like you just said) that you were complementing him for seeing the quality of both teams. Oilers are an elite team with the best superstars on the planet. And the Panthers are just better. Better coached, better executed, better defense than i expected (and I knew they were insane), and a goalie playing out of his mind.
@@wwpjd28 I think you're giving the Panthers a little too much credit. A lot of this is on the Oilers for screwing up. In game 1 alone Edmonton could have won *if* they had shot at bobby's weak spots. Assuming the coaching staff and players are competent enough, they should know this. Instead as you witnessed every single shot in game 1 was down low (BOBBYS STRONGEST SPOTTTT). and the oilers had a lot of scoring chances.
i think if they were smarter about this and started going up high (as we saw more of in game 3) then more goals would be on the scoreboard. just my 2 cents.
97 is not a great player he’s an exciting player and there’s a huge difference between the two.
"Connor McDavid doing Connor McDavid things"... except scoring. Whoops.
Still waiting to see this "Best Player in the World" do something worthy of that title "in this series". Haven't seen it...
His +/- so far is a net zero. His face off % is absolutely horrific. Goals, zero. Back checking and grinding pucks out in corners, not much there either. 🤔
@cmdrbillpaxton4302 You mean like how he has more points by a mile than any other team and beat Wayne Gretzkys record for most points in the post season.
Stuff like that?
@@Petry4u I guess you can't read because I posted "in this series" which was 100% true at the time for the first 3 games "of this series". He has played up to expectation in the last two games. Will see if edmonton can pull of the reverse sweep shortly...
Forsling has been unbelievable as a defensive defenseman. I know plus minus means almost nothing but his is crazy tbh. +54 in the regular season and you get decent offense from him. He’s a stalwart.
Lindstrom jr.
Plus minus means a lot a lot a really lot especially+54
And they got him for 5.75m for the next 8 years. The best deal in the NHL.
@@jorssu13Unreal. What a steal.
@kristianhirka5605 it can mean a lot. It can also be meaningless. Example. Say your team goes for a change and the second your skates hit tye ice they score, that's a -1 on you even though you were on the ice for literally 1 second before the goa. The same thing can happen for a +1. Also if you have a goal that gives up 8 goals on 9 shots that might not be on the defense.
Plus minus just means while Forsling is on the ice the other team is less likely to score. But while Nerus is on the ice the other team is more likely to score.
The "save" for the Panthers would be that one against the Lightning. That's the save.
as a lightning fan I agree. once I saw that save I knew we both lost the series and the panthers were gonna win the cup
they weren't gonna be denied this time lol
@@hotcheeto9180 exactly- Lightning have always had the Panthers number. Once that save happened, that was it.
@@hotcheeto9180 last year when Hill robbed Cousins in game 1 I felt a horrible feeling that came true.
@adrianfernandez7386 dang I forgot about that one. That save hurt
Even if Edmonton wins the next one, Florida winning the cup just feels inevitable
Florida looks like the Yankees on ice
I'd like Florida to seal this series with a 6:0 or 7:1 win in Game 4.
@@musicclassic5938Oilers will get like 3 or 4 PP goals and force game 5, but then florida embarrasses them.
If Oilers manages to pull themselves up enough for winning the next one, then it's back to Florida and McDavid "put under guardianship" of Barkov.
Just prolong the misery
As a lifetime fan of StarCraft , I appreciated the Protoss reference quite a bit
Mind blowing SC2 came out almost 15 years ago lol Still play it sometimes today.
Still play SC2 online, great game to this day!
Never played it, but love League of Legends, which lead me to watch professional Koreans play video games. Watching them measure the distance of their mouse from their keyboards before a professional match made me realize this was something else. Also, 300-500 decisions per minute. Unreal!!
My wife for hire!
I had no interest in watching this and clicked in PURELY because it said "Protoss" lol
Bill Zito is a genius. He built a championship team off waivers and unwanteds.
And great drafting. He gets good picks from deep in the draft
Forsling, who is today one of the top defensemen in the league, top +- performer in the season, was CLAIMED OFF WAIVERS
@@chootum8295 and Bobrovsky... everyone acts like "woah he is a great goalie!" Yep, totally unexpected "all of a sudden", as if they were sleeping when he took 2 Vezinas in the years passed.
Yeah Florida was trash for like 20 years and now my god they’re 1 away from the cup.
@@DarthABBA exactly. It’s hard to argue that Zito is not the most valuable GM in the league. Turning around a franchise and getting the right coaches and players, and build them into the most undisputed dominating team in the league is nuts. GM all around the league gotta take some notes from what was done in Florida
Panthers fan here and thank you for giving credit where credit is due. Love your channel even though I'm one of the sicko's that come here after a Toronto loss. Something that was not mentioned is we have NOT lost to Edmonton all year. 6-0 Not that it matters but numbers if you know what I mean. This years Panthers are the Vegas Golden Knights of last season. We learned from that and built on it. Not many teams can say their players said they would be back and do it. In the beginning of the playoffs, IN THE BEGINNING.....we had redemption everywhere. That's a bold thing to do in the beginning of the playoffs. This team is very strong. President trophy winners to Cup losers to now this. It has been incredible to watch as a fan and I have waited 30 years for this. We are closing it out on Saturday and when we do, the Oilers need to remember that feeling like we did. There is a clip posted from time to time that shows the Panther players faces during that loss and I'm pretty sure Paul Maurice has shown it at some point this season. Anyway, keep up the good work, always fun to watch you.
The Panthers communicate like the Protoss.. I think that's the best compliment ever to an NHL team :)
What’re you talking about?!? CATS have a 57 goal scorer, a Vezina finalist who will be in the Hall of Fame, the Selke Winner (Barkov’s second), and the defenseman that led the entire league in plus minus (Forsling). Cats are STACKED.
Oilers have two great players; that's it.
@@melvynobrien6193 Yup.
His point is that those players are excelling because of the system and team cohesion. Even has said it wouldn't be surprising if they moved on to other teams and saw a bit of a drop off. Panthers cohesion is unreal.
@@melvynobrien6193 and two nasty liabilities named Nurse and Ceci!
@@CC-pj7iy Most importantly are awesome players willing to buy into the system and trust the coach and alter their own game. Superstars make your choice: follow orders and sacrifice for the team or get your personal glory, but no cup for you.
I feel like the Panthers are built somewhat similarly to the Lightning during their cup wins. They can roll 4 lines, have superstars that can score, solid top-6, really good to god-tier goaltending, and just pulverize their opponent physically. I do think they are more physical than Tampa and don't have the top dman like Hedman, but it just feels like they slightly copied that model and took a bit of Vegas with their physicality. They play such a good team game that it does remind of how Tampa would just wear down their opposition.
Sometimes it's not all about skill. It's the mental, and the gameplan, and the cohesiveness
If the Cats win the series, “The Save” will be the circus save against Tampa Bay
When Sheldon Keefe said teams set up the leafs to beat themselves but as an Oilers fan I felt that applies to us as well.
The Oilers are the Leafs but your high-end talent shows up in the playoffs. Questionable D and Goalies. its crazy
Everyone has to remember hot goaltender wins the oilers are finally scoring so if anyone can come back would be oilers but the difference is Florida s goaltending and it's to bad but it happens and is the main reason if not for him the oilers would be tied or even leading series but goaltender s are the big difference between the two teams
Lifelong Oilers fan....I love our team.....I love that our All-Stars show up in the playoffs....BUT......Look at the goals this series and especially last night.....The Oilers are the ultimate contradiction. They are a team in the Stanley Cup finals.
BUT STILL STRUGGLE WITH THE BASICS!!!....Routine dump in for Skinner and Ceci....GOAL.
Yet another bone headed give away by Bouchard....GOAL.
A 2 on 1 and apparently Bouchard STILL has no idea where he is supposed to be defending a 2 on 1...GOAL.
Nurse, simple clearance?.....GOAL
Let's not forget our offences overpassing and under back checking.
Knoblachs constant line juggling, seems to have created more confusion and lack of cohesion than paying off for him..
The tactic of keeping McDavid and Draisaitl seperated....until they start losing.....and than nervously putting them together when the other team is 2 goals up and expect them to save the day everytime???
It screams of a coach who is in over his head.
Oilers, like the Leafs have some BIG roster decision's and BIG question's to ask this summer.
The Canadian Stanley Cup drought continues until then.
@@tankdiggs8974 ....and might I add questionable back checking from some forwards and questionable line up decisions by Knoblach?
@algrundau9441 I don't know enough about the Oilers to comment on the other things, but when Towes and Kane were winning cups in Chicago, they were played on separate lines, except for power plays. If they were playing together 5 on 5, no need to check the score, you knew Chicago needed a goal.
Oilers absolutely Leafed in Stanley Cup Finals
No other way to put it
They still have Jack Campbell....maybe give Soupy one last start?...hahaha
i like that verb
@@colecolettecole 1967 vs 1990.
The beauty of the panthers is they don’t need a Cale maker or mcdavid. Their team/players are very spread out in skill/talent. Their bottom lines are strong, their team has depth. You don’t need that one or two star players when they have a lot of depth, and an amazing goalie to back all their strong play
Huh? Tkatchuk, Barkov, Bobrovski, they are on the same level as Cale Makar and McDavid....
They said that about the Dallas Stars... the depth and goalie would win out.
I mean they also very much have the one or two star players its very important to me that we all understand they very much have the star players
@@erichamithey also were battling injury
@@jabronirigatoni4648no they aren’t but they are legit star players. Anyone saying Florida doesn’t have stars and is just elite depth and team play plus a goalie (which is more of what I see in Dallas), is kidding themselves.
Bob for conn smythe, hands down.
Isn’t conn smythe based off the whole playoffs though? Bob wasn’t needed nearly as much in the first three rounds tbh. I think Barkov should get it.
Coin toss between Barky and Bob, honorable mention to Gus Forsling.
@@hezl19 The way Barky has shut down all the top talent they've faced is something really special, and the fact the whole squad is following the example just makes it so much better. The Panthers are where they are because they're playing the way Barky has always played.
@@zimbabwejim7153its so much easier to play with sacrifice when you see your superstar captain do it! Such an underrated characteristic.
@@hezl19 I would not say Sergei was not needed in the first three rounds. Boston and NYR were very close games with superb goalies playing against Cats. If you don't have an elite goalie, you will not pass teams like NYR or BOS.
There have been exactly 3 games out of 20 that ruin Bob's stats in these playoffs. And Florida lost all 3. 1 game per each series. 4th vs TBL, 1st vs BOS, 3rd vs NYR.
Barkov i.e. has 5 games with 0 points and negative +/- and 4 more games with 0 points and neutral +/-. That is 9 out of 20.
1 more flordia. 1 more baby!!!!!
Woooooo
Let’s goooooo
It's really hard to call this "The Save" when Bob had that one against the Lightning.
While I agree that save vs lightning was incredible. It wasn’t in the cup finals to secure a victory.
Main thing about Florida is that you don't notice individual players, you just see them all playing the same way so they all look like they're the same person.
Superintendent Chalmers: SKINNER!!
Coach: nothin's coming up Knobloch
This series feels VERY similar to the 2nd round last year. They forced the Leafs to make mistakes and pounced (pun intended) on every one of those mistakes. It was smothering.
When the oiler fans booed the cats before the game lolololol
Wait til the Panther raise the cup on Oilers ice! Hahah
@@josephfarr2988Oilers win game 4, panthers win it at home in game 5
@@anthonyfaccaro7118 you could be right 👍 .. I'm still going with 4 games because the Oilers can't even score let alone win a game
As a leafs fan, even if we won over boston we would be stomped by florida. They are mean, there is amazing playoff bob, and they have scoring depth. They are built for the playoff run.
The Leafs would have scored more than the Oilers in a series against them and actually win a game.
Leafs once had a coach named Paul Maurice (2005-2008) he wasn't good enough, & once upon a time they drafted a guy named Carter Verhaeghe (round 3 #82 overall 2013 NHL Entry Draft), & traded him in 2015 to the NYI for Michael Grabner.
So what, they should have kept Maurice around for 16 years waiting to see if he could lead them to a cup?
@@randysgutful Yeah, I and many other Leafs fans would take a waiting 16 years for a cup as opposed to just one playoff series win in 16 years.
Florida’s stalwart is Forsling. It’s not even a question, he’s so insane defensively and underrated by most people.
The Oilers prove that 2 superstar players with no d or goaltending will never win you a Stanley Cup. Kind of like Toronto, Matthews, Marner and Nylander can't even get past the first round. It takes great defense and goaltending.
You use your last two connected brain cells to come up with that take dumass?
Cliche " A champion team will beat a team of champions" Steve`s analysis is spot on
Forsling is our stalwart. You really should do a deeper dive on him. Top 5 dman
i noticed him earlier on in the playoffs ~ nice play ~ whos that guy 42 ~ oh its that 42 guy again ~ then im hooked & now he is one of my favrite players ~ along w makar ~
He is too good of a defender to be noticed and be appreciated the way he really deserves I guess. He does his job so good that he doesn't look like a hero in a process.
One main difference is, Knoblauch replaced Woodcroft. Remember Woodcroft tried to implement a Zone defense? I think this shows the "Limit" of replacing a coach can do. Oilers can get to Cup Finals, and then runs into a brick wall.
The Leafs cannot bring the same team back, coaching change or not. They have clearly showed year after year that they don't want to commit to playoff style hockey. Do you think the core 4 was devastated they didn't make it past the first round?
You need a will to win in the playoffs, and the Leafs aren't even close.
If Edmonton gets swept, it would leave the Canadiens as the statistically better team in the finals.
people never remember who didn't win a cup
@@tedebayer1 the hockey Mecca of Montreal and Don Cherry disagrees.
Proof stats become useless in the playoffs.
This proves that only looking at stats is stupid.
Just like Dubas purely building a team off stats.
It isn't NHL 2k.
Things must be really bad in Montreal if fans are grasping at straws just to find anything to be positive about.
Go Panthers Go
That description of the Panthers' cohesiveness was really good. I think the Bruins were a slightly lesser version of the same approach this season. That's really how they beat the leafs and even managed to go 6 with the Panthers. They had a similar approach but lacked the depth to do it as well as Florida.
That pad save by Bob at the end of the game was amazing & probably saved it from being tied & going into ot. I can definitely see Bob being this years Conn Smythe winner.
It's hilarious to imagine the Oilers ever being Canada's team, and now they are down 3.
I'm a Leafs fan, lifetime, and I can't support the goddamn Oilers.
The Panthers are out here doing drop ship micro and the Oilers are trying to just A-move across the map with 10 APM
I was waiting to see where the Starcraft reference was coming in 🤣it does make sense!
The boa constrictor analogy was pretty solid
You are so right on that 2nd goal, I saw Holloway taking a Sunday skate and was thinking "he better hope that puck doesn't end up in front of the net." Well, that's exactly what happened.
Unbelievable. Been through a lot of shit as a cats fan. I know we aren’t there yet, but these last two years I’ll never forget. This ending has been in the making for awhile. 💪🏼🙏🏻
And Steve still doesn’t get how good Forsling is somehow. He’s better than Duncan Keith and nearly as good as Lindstrom. He makes no mistakes. Ever.
The save bob made on tampa bay was easily "The Save"
So where are those panther haters now? Lollll
Get the brooms out boys lol
Absolutely amazing how you can predict the future with such certainty and incredible accuracy
Thanks Nostradumass 😅lol
@@user-wz7eq2qz3c Imagine being cocky about not getting swept lmaoo just keep quiet kid it'll be over soon 😂
the continued glazing of the oilers in the opening of the video is wild....they are cooked and have one of the worst d-cores for a team in the final I have seen (I have been a hockey fan for over 20 years)
Steve is a Leafs fan, he views on defense are absolutely warped
Yes. I said before the series started it was the worst SC finalist in decades. I also predicted a 4-0 sweep of the Oilers.
Absolutely. Canadian media personalities have been absolutely delusional these finals-desperate to pump Oilers tires. Brutal.
@@ulmwilliams57 I have no idea how Oilers beat the Stars, stars we my pick in the finals against Florida
you’re right. he should’ve released a 3-second video in which he says “oilers lost game 3, probably lose the series” and it ends. that would be great content!
ya all those edmonton stars...with 0 points....completely dominated, humilated, embarrassed, DESTROYED, TAKEN. _A. PART._
For “the save”, I think most Cats fans would say it was The Bobbery.
Unless we get the first SCF reverse sweep in the expansion era, this will be 4 teams in the last 7 years with a first cup win, just shows you how much parity this league has!
Florida has much better star players than Edmonton.
and mostly came from Calgary
Yep. Its just florida's stars aren't "flashy" like mcdavids speed/hands, draisaityl's one timer or Bouchards Bombs. Instead, its because it's all defensive for Florida. Forsling with the best + -, Barkov which is the best defensive forward in the NHL, and then you got Bob who's the best goalie right now.
@@tedebayer1 I realize you said this because it's edmonton/calgary rivalry but i just wanted to add a lot of players formally sabres players too. reinhart, montour, kulikov, rodrigues okposo ....call them "Buffalo south" sometimes lol
@@tedebayer1 yet the most important one is drafted by panthers
The disrespect of forsling was wild. He’s shut down everyone this post season. He’s a front runner for Con Smythe
Panthers deserve the Cup more than anyone else.
the Panthers remind me of the Sutter Flames (early 2000s run) and Sutter Kings that won 2 cups, I absolutely love this style of play
Your delusional bud they can't win 4 games in a row over Florida buddy . Never ever ever ever
This series was over from game 1
in an alternate reality Corey Perry signed with the Florida Panthers who made it to the SCF to play the Edmonton Oilers and the series is 3-0 Oilers.
14:19 You can see how Bob is so good at tracking the puck. That save wasn't an accident, he's watching it the whole time and stops it with purpose. What amazing goaltending.
😂😂😂Touchdown
2 point convert
The spell of bobrongo has been broken
The dam has been breached
Holloway on the Tarasenko goal is on the boards in case Skinner wants to reverse the puck up the boards for an outlet. It's not likely because Skinner is facing the other direction, but if FLA overloads the strong side, he's there on the weak side for the outlet. One big problem on that play is Kulak is not where he should be (in fact I think Holloway is back where he is because he's covering for Kulak.)
I don't fault Skinner on that goal. Yeah, he bobbles it behind the net, but once again, Cody Ceci is the casual one. He's got position, he's gotta get first touch on that puck, especially when he can see Skinner having trouble with it.
Bro Ekblad is a star. Total beast controls the boards.
He has been Florida's worst d-man. He's always out of position and can't make an outlet pass to save his life.
@@deahelkcunklaer2180 yet the oilers have 0 5v5 against and the best coach in the league raves about him. Clearly you know more.
AWESOME PANTHERS and STEVE!!! GREETINGS FROM HELSINKI, FINLAND🇫🇮🇨🇦🇫🇮🇨🇦
Oiler fans blaming refs is so rich when your team can’t score lol. Happy 1st cup Cats fans!
😂😂😂😂😂 Touchdown
2 point convert
The save was the Bobbery against the lightning in round 1 for me.
Bobrovsky also had "the save" against tampa in round 1
9:34 Yup, I got that reference. 😂
Great constrictor analogy.
This is a much better look for these videos
Great analysis Steve !
love the Protoss reference!
They remind me somewhat of my 1995 Devils...Tradition off defense
The live event in Stouffville was a lot of fun Steve. Thank you so much for that.
Oilers vs Bobrovsky and Bobrovsky is killing them.
He should get the Conn Smythe Trophy.
Great as usual
Dude.msdavid has 2 points in 3 games, Rodriguez had more points in a game lol
And one is a second assist, so not really a point.
The most well rounded team is dominating the team with superstars. Panthers are the best forechecking team and it’s not even close.
God bless you Steve and that reference.
if youre a goaltender ~ tend the goal ~i can hear steves voice saying this in my head in many many games ~
That Protoss analogy is perfect 😂
NICE Star Craft reference
Knowing that Steve played RTSs growing up warms my heart
Your analysis is always a joy to watch.
“The Save” from inspector Bob was against the Lightning. The man is insane, he reminds me a lot of Hasek, just using every inch of his body to make a save. He’s just that good.
i was wondering why the title said Protoss 🤣
the SC reference made me laugh. thank you for that
That noise at the beginning only confirms to me steve could voice the joker
LETS GO PANTHERS!
In terms of which save is "the save" I would say more likely you can choose from about 5 saves he made in game 1 that kept things right until Florida started looking like themselves. Edmonton could have won game one and would at worst be down 2-1 right now with one more home game. The save last night we have come to expect from Bob much like TB used to count on Vas to make those saves.
StarCraft reference is so true
THE SAVE
Dude, excellent analysis and I love that you played starcraft and made that reference. Legacy of the void was great, best opening cinematic ever!
If "The Save" has to be in the Cup Final, then yeah probably.
But "IMO The Save" is the one vs the Lightning still lmao
'Like Poop on Velcro'.... Something only a parent of small children would have experienced....
The Edmonton Overs. They’re not winning 4 straight.
“The usual rules don’t apply to the oilers, because of their stars…..”
Have I missed them the first 3 games?
THE Panthers Save was made when Paul Maurice prevented Sasha Barkov from touching the cup.
The zerg is more of a hive mind than the protoss
Yes but the Zerg aren’t as individually strong all of the Florida panthers are incredibly skilled but they can also work together incredibly
@@jameson1239true. UNLESS you use the Ultralisk! So each panthers player is a ultalisk. Ahh the memories
Dangle is so good in his analysis. I shared the video on panthers page so they can enjoy your reviews too
If the Panthers were the ones facing an 0-3 deficit no one in Canadian media would give them a snow ball’s chance in hell of coming back and winning 4 straight but because it’s the oilers “it’s possible! Of course they can do it!”
NO, THEY CAN'T
Delusions run high
1942 record is safe.
Time to believe Steve dangles! It’s not over, let’s finish the job! Let’s go Panthers!!
I understand that Starcraft reference and appreciate it. I was also thinking something pretty similar.
