Panther fan, i told you it wasn't over. When everyone was saying sweep i thought to myself, "Hopefully, but i doubt it happens." Edmonton is too good to just be dismissed like that. And any Panther fan who comes at me and says im not a real fan because im not delusional about my team can hold their breath. I love my team, but i can't ignore what my eyes see. If Florida doesn't win game 6, i have a very hard time seeing a game 7 win. Good luck, gentlemen. Also, Austin, you're a cool dude.
Exactly how I felt. I feel like true hockey fans knew it WASNT over. It was shocking when the Panthers went up 3-0 because that’s rare. Whoever thought it was going to be over in 4, I feel like that was delusional! I’m going for Panthers too but it’s wild for people to think the team with the best player in the world, isn’t going to fight hard. I think Panthers take game 6. But wouldn’t be surprised if it goes to 7. Go panthers!
Appreciate the honesty. True fans of the game have the ability to analyze the play without just relying on wins and loses or the score. Oilers were pretty dominant in game 1 but Bob stole it. Panthers were dominant in game 2 and made the oilers look bad. Game 3 was an evenly contested game. A bad 5 minutes by the oilers cost them but they played pretty good hockey. So the series was 3-0 Panthers but could've easily been 2-1 oilers. And here we are. I'm just glad it's been a good final. There's excitement, drama, momentum shifts and a lot of butt clenching moments. Everything you want from the last series being played. Good luck ✌️ and may the best team win.
Also Panthers fan here. I'm just glad Oil actually woke the fuck up and started playing like it was the Stanley Cup freakin Finals. Both teams have each other's number now, this oughta be one hell of a game 6.
On that McDavid goal, Hockey Psychology said that Bob had scouted McDavid and didn't want to go down in the RNH because McDavid often finds that little hole above the shoulder. Instead he wanted to stand tall and shut that play down. But then McDavid just did McDavid things and made him look stupid
Austin, Zach Hyman had the exact same right to that ice as the Panthers player did. On top of that, he actually tried to get out of the way! I’ve been watching hockey for 40 years, played it, ref’ed it and now a spectator. That was a 100% phantom, even-up penalty call if I have ever seen one. You are wrong to call it a deserved penalty, my friend! McDavid “transending humanity”?! thats some lofty praise right there, lmao! I got a kick out of that! 😅
Drai’s definitely playing injured, there’s little doubt about it. I really hope that despite that, he’s used effectively and plays well in Game 6, because that’s going to be so important for us. I also think the bad ice conditions played a role in a lot of the Oiler mistakes in the game. You could tell it was choppy, but thank goodness, we still found a way to win on it!!
21:41 pick play is fine and is just smart hockey. You get called on it when someone falls over from the contact… but the panthers have shown they’re willing to fall pretty easily.
Not 100% sure what’s going on with Drai but this series is 100% 3-2 for Edmonton right now if he was on his game this series. Bob finally looks human and his confidence has been shaken. This was the only chance Edmonton had and they found a way to knock him off his game.
I believe Drais is playing hurt. If thats the case the coach needs to use Drai strategically. He cannot be given important Dzone starts when he cant even move around properly. Henrique should be taking the important draws, hes a better faceoff man too! ....I dont know why Drai was out there the last minute and a half when he can barely skate around. I dont know what the coach was thinking. The Oiler dodged a bullet there. Drai should only get Ozone starts and the PP. imo. The coach cannot be risking it, Drai is a defensively liability at the moment.
Incredible series! The Panthers were already parading the cup in their mind. Well, they got the wake up call and the water bottle off the helmet and they're awake now. Maurice will have to coach now as their system is breached and it's red alert@!! That box they had setup in front of Bobi has collapsed and the 1 chaser defender is neutralized as well. That was their system. Some Panther Pundits called McDavid, McFake!!! The arrogance is beyond belief!!! Do they even watch hockey in the West? Anyway... Oilers onward to 7 and beyond! But first...game 6 is the one game series for now.
He might be a turtle, but my respect for Tkachuk went up by a strong margin for that hustle play stopping the ENG. OEL let him down just standing there.
I think I mentioned in the live stream that it would be a win if they FINALLY called an embellishment on the panthers… Tkachuk got one… oil got the dub…
the too many men incident actually wasnt a penalty. you have 4-6ft in front of the bench where it is accepted for too many men to be on the ice. neither the players who went on to the bench nor the new players going onto the ice touched the puck thats why its not a penalty. if anyone wouldve touched the puck it would have been called.
I am cool with the call on Hyman, but I am shocked they didn't call on slamming into skinner. Especially with no puck anywhere near. I feel like whenever EDM has "hit Bob," it was because there was a puck battle in front of him, and you got a lot of players shoving each other back and forth. If that was the case here, I wouldn't have cared so much. But maybe I missed something about the EDM hits.

He played an above average game and made saves when it mattered. Hyman, Foegele, Perry and Tkachuk for Florida are off the Schnide. How was it put, we wanted to DRAG THEM BACK TO ALBERTA FOR GAME 6. We're Dragging them folks. Hoping the guys can win that one and bring it to an epic game 7 (where the Oilers win of course but I'm an Oilers supporter). Looking at the stats the only ones that scream out are we had double the blocks and they had more hits and were better in the faceoff circle and they shot about 1/3 more shots (depending on how you measure it).
Please include a stat on how many times the Panthers flop in pain just to get the refs attention. So we need a stat for Flop Attempts vs Successful Flops. That way we can measure the Panthers progress towards success.
love your channel..Flyer’s fan here low-key cheering for Florida-like Paul Maurice and likely have memories of 85 and especially 87 stanley cup finals losing to albeit one of best teams in history.
Vancouver went 7 game . Dallas went 6 . LA sent 7 two years ago . When the chips are down and the boys are shooting from the hip. loosey goosie bois . do you think the barn will get louder. . oh baby . Friday night people will start drinking about noonish . the leather lunged brew crew. will be dancing and singing
Thing is... Connor could have easily skated away the last 15seconds & ended the game at 4-3 but instead he elected to embarrass the Panthers back up goalie. Good choice 😂
Everyone keeps talking about possible momentum for the Panthers by the way the game ended. How? You think McDavid's empty netter wasn't completely embarrassing and deflating for them? They passed the puck straight to him out of panicked desperation and then just stopped playing. The end of the game could not have ended in a worse way for them. They looked like clowns.
I hate how draisatal is playing lazy and stuff. We everyone on this team to be playing to their fullest to win the cup. Connor brown was a perfect example of that and man has he shown up to play these playoffs.
Guys how is stupid decisions and cherry picking for breakaways being injured. Yes I know he is injured but he was making some BAD decisions. Watch him next game and you will see I am right

A player on the losing team should never win the Conn Smythe. Sure they might have been that team's most valuable, but they weren't valuable enough because they lost.
Still doesn’t mean he wasn’t the most valuable, how many players dress up for the game every night? Takes a team to win. Mcdavid has willed this series to six as a one man freight train

I think there was something funky with the ice too. A few Oilers blew a wheel unexpectedly and the puck seemed to bounce more than usual.
Exact spot too every time it happened.
or it would slow way down before icing

brown and janmark are our new dynamic duo
I think the biggest struggle last night was Florida's terrible ice, guys were falling all over the place.
LAST NIGHT I HAD A DREAM THEY WON THE STANLEY CUP
If you have a horse in this race, this series is just nerve-wracking 😢
This was a closer game towards the latter half. Momentum has demonstrably been proven to be a REAL THING in hockey in this series.
Great game from Edmonton Oilers. May the Oilers push it to game 7. Cheers from the Golden State.
What a great game last night!, took me 3 hours to get to sleep! 😂😂😂
😂 me too!

There’s no way in hell you guys don’t reverse sweep. There is no franchise worse than the Panthers. I’m sickened
There is a reason why they are in the finals two years in a row. They ARE a great team. I just think the Oilers are better.

Connor brown was a perfect example of that and man has he shown up to play these playoffs.
He’s never been lazy. He’s likely injured.
If he plays like this then he is injured. I am sure he does what he can, but if he has a back injury then he can’t move like he want.
He's clearly hurt.
Guys how is stupid decisions and cherry picking for breakaways being injured. Yes I know he is injured but he was making some BAD decisions. Watch him next game and you will see I am right
