Michkov coming over to the flyers and oilers losing the cup and being eliminated is the best news ever for me. Love to see it. Barkov absolutely shut down drai & McDavid (besides the 2 games) is unbelievable. Bob went through adversity and came back huge in game 7. Thought Barkov should’ve won conn smythe he was incredible throughout the playoffs, McDavid was historical but not historic. Happy for the Cats. Florida were the better team and deserved it. Congrats.
Those 6 minutes from halfway through the 2nd period up until Reinhart's goal was some of the best hockey to watch. Both teams with close calls, long periods of offensive time, and tired players emptying their tanks. For me, that's the beauty of the game.
Speaking of Maurice, the director at Sportsnet was focusing on Elliotte and Dave’s interview and missed the moment when the cup was handed to Maurice. Big cheers from the crowd of course. Luckily other channels’ coverages are more diligent so that moment was not lost.
Gotta give Panthers credit They played a great game and with the Exception of Ekholm Janmark and Henrique, They just wanted it more. The fear and desperation of Losing the cup again and having the biggest collapse in sports history was more motivation that just wanting to win for a bunch of guys on their first trip to the cup. You could see in the oiler Vets that had been on the losing side of a cup before how much more they wanted it, or didn't want that feeling again. Now the rest of the oilers have that too. None the less so proud of the entire team for all the did this year to will themselves forward and out of holes. Tremendous character in that room.
Conn Smythe - based on totality of the playoffs not on the last couple games where McDavid didn't have it. And yet you said the trophy was Bob's up until games 4,5,6 and then he had a great game 7. The totality of the playoffs show Bob was pretty darn good, including the final game to win it. I didn't have a team so I don't really care but I think it was Bob's.
Bob wasn't anything special in rounds 1-3. Florida's team game was what saw them advance, they could have won the first 3 rounds with David Ayres in net.
In the "totality of the playoffs" Bob was a .906. Many, many goalies have done that or better. Not so many players have put up 42 points. I really don't see why this is so difficult.
So cuz McDavid went crazy down 3-0 he deserves it? FOH were was he game 7? Bob had the best run, lighting, president cup winner and mcjesus.... he deserves it.
What exactly is the "president cup"? If you mean the President's Trophy, that was won by the Rangers. Bobrovsky was inconsistent and .906 in the playoffs which is mediocre at best. McDavid had the most playoff points in 33 years. Florida is a deeper, more balanced, and better defensive team than Edmonton but you cannot tell me they have a player they wouldn't trade 1-for-1 for McDavid in terms of value this playoffs or otherwise.
I have been advocating for Tocchet in the HoF for years. Close to 1,000 point but in this era 3,000 PIM meant something . It helped his more skilled teammates; such as, Grezky and Lemieux have room to make plays. While there...we have both Neely and Bure in the Hall after haveing there careers were cut short by injuries. Why not Tim Kerr? The numbers are the same. I always thought it was how many not how or how pretty in Bure's case.
So memtion of expansion team for Arizona, would the NHL expand to more teams and if so, would it have to go up an even 4 teams to add a team to each division? Newbie to learning these behind the scenes details here so just curious.

I didn’t like McDavid as the Conn Smythe winner. Yes he had an incredible points total, but points in only 2 out of 7 SCF games? Bobrovsky was at least good in 4 of the 7 games plus the rest of the playoffs
I agree! McDavid was held pointless in a lot of games during these playoffs... the reason he got so many points was because they had a few blow out games, which in reality is just a few wins towards his team. Bobrovski stole a few games in these playoffs which cancels out McDavids big point games.
@@JonSnuh so? They had some high scoring blow out games, it’s still only one win. He had a lot of games where he was held pointless during the overall playoffs, he padded those points in a few games where the other team gave up
@BrodyCanuck what do you mean so what? He recorded the 4th all-time points in the history of the NHL, and broke the all time assist record, just because he had 4 points in a 8-1 victory, you think that is bad? Who deserve it above him?
Bobrovsky should have won the Conn Symthe. He was most valuable to his team in the crucial moments. Podcast sounds just like the rest of the Canadian biased media. Panthers just won the Cup and all they talked about for 90 percent of the time was Edmonton... and the Hershey Bears.
whoever it was that lost the pick after the scramble where bob lost his stick and one of the oilers had it at the point ... that give away at the blue line was absolutely CRIMINAL how soft that oiler was on the puck .
I see why mcdavid would win. People see the total through and watching Edmonton throughout the entire playoffs, McDavid has alot of garbage time points when the games were already over. Draisaitl and Hyman were very clutch for Oilers right throughout.
16:21 lol only did the bet for the Oilers, and not on both teams like Perry or Skinner vs Okposo or Bob.... glad these hosers didn't get a Cup and hope McDavid gets another chance to win it on an American team (when he leaves Edmonton).
McDavid, Draisaitl Hyman were totally out of gas. Draisaitl injured as well as playing so hard. They played one game too many in the series , a *6 games series cats were dead

Which Panther was better this playoffs than McDavid? Bobrovsky was .906. Barkov scored 3 points in the SCF and was -1 both in the SCF and the playoffs.

Says the fan of the team that had THREE CONSECUTIVE SERIES WINNING GOALS via SPOON-FED POWERPLAYS that allowed them to luck their way into the Stanley Cup Finals.
Yeah Oilers should’ve been called for a couple hits from behind and tripping, meanwhile panthers get called for tripping when they fall and slide into a player lol. League was helping oilers all playoffs long
I know people who played against Michkov. They said he’s not that great of a player and is a very difficult player in the room. They have zero reason to lie and there was hints of this last year. If this comes to pass, characterizing his appearance in Philly may be something they regret, as opposed to, celebrating. Just a thought.
The Panthers DUSTED the Oilers! Eh Luke Gazdick? YOUR TEAM ARE LOSERS, YOUR FANS ARE LOSERS! Ahh feels soo good after his comments towards the canucks.
Says the fan of the team that had THREE CONSECUTIVE SERIES WINNING GOALS via SPOON-FED POWERPLAYS that allowed them to luck their way into the Stanley Cup Finals
....when was penalty on Tkathuck for no reason? If that doesn't scream on our side, I dont know what does! or the "tap " on the glove in game 6 BS? ....media, refs helped wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much the Oilers...so the overrated player has some story and reason why he was even in the finals....it was disgusting to see the bias. Too bad was not Dallas, who deserved to be in the finals.
The same logic I hear everywhere. Game 6/7 wasn't enough to take the Conn Smythe away from McDavid but game 4/5/6 was enough to take it away from Bob? When they hung him out to dry? I don't get it.
If what player x does in games 4, 5, and 6 is that much better than what player y did in the other games, then yes. Don't even disagree that it could've gone to bob, but I don't see it as illogical.
I feel like Barkov got shafted on the Conn Smythe. He shutdown the best of the best, round after round. It cant just be points- but I do still realize and respect what McD achieved by breaking some unbelievable records. no officiating controversy either, a great final and G7!
There's a reason that out of 17 Conn Smythe voters 16 had McDavid as their first choice and 0 had Barkov. McDavid was a +7 in the final and Barkov was a -1. McDavid was a +12 in the playoffs and Barkov was a -1. The Panthers are a deeper team with better team defense but individually they don't have any one near as valuable as McDavid.
@@Dylligraphy Barkovs job is not lighting up the lamp. he plays against the absolute best and is the best at it. he kept McD and Drai away when it mattered the most. his +/- is not going to be as high because he literally plays against the best of the best. -1 is actually pretty fkn good, and that includes the blowouts.
@@Nathanielhiggerson66 How can he be the best if he "literally plays against the best of the best". Think about what you're saying. The best of the best in the finals, the playoffs, and in general is McDavid. The Oilers have made some critical management mistakes like spending 14.25m per year on Nurse+Campbell and the Oilers don't have as complete a team. That said, you'd be crazy not to trade Barkov or any other Panther for McDavid 1-for-1.
@@Dylligraphy Best at what he does. his role isnt the same as McDavids, Barkov never cheats the game and as a captain leads by example. theres a reason when the panthers were on their game the ”best player” wasnt able to get anything done when it counted G6-7. and he did the same to the rangers, tampa, boston.
This video is almost entirely about Edmonton. When they start talking about Florida they change the subject back to Edmonton. Then they get to the part where they're talking about Edmonton and then it's all Edmonton.
Elliott is full of crap. The series took way too long. We didn’t need 2 days off on travel days. If the NHL had any brains game 7 would have been played on Sunday night. Any early insight on ratings. I bet they weren’t good.
@@beeaggro2593The league gave it to McDavid with 0 points and 0 defensive presence in the last 2 games and was pretty silent for 5 total finals games, especially considering his role as an offensive player. They gave it to him because he beat Gretzkys record by beating up injured teams in drawn out series. He was the 3rd best player in the finals
I do. Bobrovsky and Barkov were better. Its not about save percentage or point tallies in blowouts, or Canadian media hype, its about being valuable to your team in the crucial moments and games. McDavid got the Connsolation Smythe.
McDavid shouldn't have won the Conn Smythe. If you argue "it's the totality of the playoffs" then you have to recognize McDavid was not great over the course of the seven games in the Finals. Bob was basically lights out the entire playoffs until Games 4, 5, and 6 of the Finals. Bob had three bad games, McDavid had four. That's why Florida won in the end.
I watched every minute of Florida's run, Bob was good but he only stole one game in the whole run. Whereas Edmonton doesn't win a round without McDavid.
McDavid scored 11 points and was +7 while playing through an abdominal injury in the SCF but "wasn't that great" yeah okay. No one else had more than 7 points. Florida won because it's a team game. Bob's .906 in this playoffs was mediocre.
I'm sorry but yall are wrong about the Conn Smyth going to Mcdavid... did Mcdavid put Tampa on his highlight reel during these playoffs no he played a weak kings team. Bubba (bobrobsky) literally matched every other superstar goalie against us. Bubba was ripped off from the Conn Smyth I hope Mcdavidx enjoys his participation award. From all of us 🐈 fans we ❤ you Bubbarooski. 🐈's cup!!!!!
1) You can't even spell Conn Smythe so it's a good thing you don't have a vote in it. 2) Bubba was .906 in the playoffs which is super mid. 3) If you have any sense at all you would trade Bubba for McDavid in a heartbeat. 4) As a team, the Panthers are better, deeper, and more balanced. Individually, no one on their team is close to McDavid.
when your Color Analyst is a former Oiler player, what do you expect? As a Jets fan, that is something we are subject to every time we play another Canadian Team on the National Broadcast.
@@ProggaWoggga He had a broken rib from a getting hit by Tyler Myers in Game 1 and a broken finger from a blocked Conor Garland shot in Game 7 both vs. the Canucks.
BOB didn't preformed in games 5 through 6 & McDavid didn't preformed in games 1 through 3 and 6 & 7 so how does he he win the MVP over BOB? I know, I know the totality, So lets look at the totality of BOB entire playoff run he was avg 2.23 GA until game 5 of the finals vs top scoring teams like TB, BOS, NYR & Edmonton. We need to appreciate more how hard is it to play the position of goal tending. BOB was the last line of defense while McDavid always had the Luxury of a Leon assist to him or a Hayman assist to him. BOB didn't have that luxury. He is on an Island blocking 98 mph slap shots from Bouchard,
Bob also had a great defense working in front of him. Did you not watch last night's game? That was a textbook clinic in shot blocking. It was clear that before the game the Panthers thought "win or lose, this is the last game of the season so if we get hurt blocking shots tonight we got the summer to recover". There were so many times in the third that Bob was completely out of position but the Oilers still couldn't score because a Florida player just threw his entire body in the way. I'm a huge Bob fan but the only game he stole in this series was game one when the defense played bad in front of him and he had to bail them out.
@@mrquirky3626 and McDavid had the power play that was getting free goals throughout the playoffs with help from the refs. Wonder how many of his points were on the PP
I TOTALLY DISAGREE, the extra days off is what gave the advantage to EDMONTON, GEEZ 🙄, you new generation folks don’t know anything about the FIGHT GAME do you. Hockey players play 60 minutes of hockey with 2 breaks and sometimes overtime. Why would they need extra days off ??? Makes absolutely no sense, unless you’re trying to break the momentum of the team that’s up 3 games to none. It almost worked too. 🤔😡🤨
I can't help wondering, why did it took game 7 for the Panthers to get their game back? The previous 3 games they didn't look like the same team. Odd. I thing the NHL wanted a 7 game final series, so that's what they got.
82 games and then 3 prior intense playoff series against the Eastern Conference's best. I actually think they sort of ran out of gas for those 3 games. Just burnt out, charred.
Then why would the 2023 final be in 5 games? If you're going to talk conspiracies at least make it something that's been consistent, like how a Canadian team hasn't won a cup under Bettman.
The games aren't "consistently" fixed by dictate, but I think they're influenced by the league, the coaches, and the refs. As for Canadian teams, they're not as skilled as the US teams. They have lost the advantage they once had. Believe what you will, doesn't matter to me. I think this series was influenced, that's all.
Because Maurice and the Panthers played Edmonton and its entire fan base like a fiddle. It’s not enough to win, panthers like to give hope, then to crush it.
Friedge, your assumption „of a better game“ due to a further rest day correlates only with FLA win and is wrong. What you dont see is, that #97 and #29 have had no benefit and it would have been a better game, if all players would have been equally stressed by a back to back rhythm. You see the point? My point is not arguing against FLA - they deserved the Cup, they were better in game #7. But a better game we didnt have as a consequence of more rest days.
Thanks for talking about Winnipeg and Mcgorerty. Heard he was also injured last year which played into Winnipeg saying he wasnt ready for NHL yet. I agree that they likely will focus on top player building to continue their playoff run and not as much on newer players unless they are coming in hot. Just my thoughts. 🤔✈️
32 Excuses . . . 1. Jennifer didn't text me good luck before the game. 2. Draisatl had an ouchie. 3. Fuhr wasn't available. 4. There were no empty nets to shoot at. 5. Marek and Friedman raved so much about me, they made me very, very nervous. 6. My personality transplant surgery was delayed, created extreme emotional stress. 7. I was in front of the net for the final 10 seconds, but the puck was in the corner. 8. Ekblad and Forsling refused to cooperate. 9. The refs called the game by the rulebook, expected more help. 10. Janmark didn't carry me, scored only one goal. 11. Was told Knight would be in goal, wasn't prepared for Bob. 12. Jennifer didn't text me good luck after the first period. 13. Tkachuk looked mean at me, hurt my feelings 14. McLeod let me down. 15 Ryan left me down. 16. Foegele really let me down. 17. Kulak really, really let me down. 18. Spent way too much time at The Cleveland the night before . . . 19. Then the ghost of the Great One haunted me when I got back to the hotel, couldn't sleep. 20. Hey, I knew Bettman would gift me the Conn Smythe no matter what, so I didn't need another dumb trophy. 21. Forgot to take my daily testosterone pills. 22. Physical contact was allowed in Game 7. Who knew? 23. Where the hell was Hyman, anyway? 24. Coach Knoblauch didn't kiss my ass enough. 25. Didn't know where I was -- too many Oilers fans in the building. 26. Nurse skated in mush, contract too heavy. 27. Some people are scared of the dark. I'm afraid of big moments. 28. Kane and Perry didn't do something incredibly stupid, shocked the heck out of me. 29. Maurice wouldn't put out his fourth line against mine. 30. Hoist the Cup and risk a career-ending injury? Ha! 31. Jennifer didn't text me good luck after the second period. 32. Is it possible that I'm not as good as most fans and media think I am?
Bobrovsky deserved the Conn Smyth . It’s about impact game to game not overall points so Bob all day & plus it is dumb to give it to someone who doesn’t win I don’t care “Best player in playoffs” it’s about winning so best player on the winning team PERIOD.

Agree. He was invisible in the Stanley cup final games that mattered. Did nothing games 1-3, 6-7. Absolute nonsense. Running up points against bad teams and bad goaltending all playoffs made those totals possible.
panthers 1st goal was a lucky fluke ... guy stood in front of goalie totally unopposed .. where was defense ? deflection could have gone wide or onto the pads yet made its way between the legs .. just luck ...
What a poor comment - it’s a losing team excuse oriented mentality. It was a great game 7. Many of us thought Edmonton would pull the goalie and tie it up late
And now the Edmonton fans can be quiet. Edmonton is a great team…. I feel really bad for McDavid, he looked crushed. Last night was so emotional for me as a fan. The Panthers played their game and it showed. Seeing the camaraderie of this team is beautiful. LETS GO CATS! Cup CHAMPS!

The team had both been through 4 rounds of hockey playoffs. I'm sure it's high emotional intensity, but also, that is the way the Panthers play. It's a defensive head lock.

Why do hockey/nhl podcasts and shows take the summer off? Just because Bobby margaritas got to, doesn't mean everyone should. plus it completely stops the growth that should carry on and BUILD from the sc final. I get it, going down to the podcast mines once a week is tougher then people think.

Way the game should be played. May the better team win and the better team won.
Yeah Oilers should’ve been called for a couple hits from behind and tripping, meanwhile panthers get called for tripping when they fall and slide into a player lol. League was helping oilers all playoffs long
I know people who played against Michkov. They said he’s not that great of a player and is a very difficult player in the room. They have zero reason to lie and there was hints of this last year. If this comes to pass, characterizing his appearance in Philly may be something they regret, as opposed to, celebrating. Just a thought.
I truly hope this is not the case! The Flyers need him to deliver big to turn this franchise around
The Panthers DUSTED the Oilers! Eh Luke Gazdick? YOUR TEAM ARE LOSERS, YOUR FANS ARE LOSERS! Ahh feels soo good after his comments towards the canucks.
Canada deserves no cup , look how we treat our poor and fellow canadians . Glad this country will have to wait hopefully another 50 years
Please stop drafting Americans in the higher rounds Chevy!!!! Please!!!!!
Two bad defensive plays again . Bouchard covering no one and Kulak and Ceci clueless.

The same logic I hear everywhere. Game 6/7 wasn't enough to take the Conn Smythe away from McDavid but game 4/5/6 was enough to take it away from Bob? When they hung him out to dry? I don't get it.
A goalie's numbers are fickle. Those games were bad enough to bring the stats down in a significant way.
If what player x does in games 4, 5, and 6 is that much better than what player y did in the other games, then yes.
Don't even disagree that it could've gone to bob, but I don't see it as illogical.
How are you comparing a .906 to 42 points in a playoff run? I don't get it.
@@Dylligraphy i think its more the talk around it. It was Bob's until game 4, then suddenly the 42 points matter.
I love how Bouchard had a vacation behind his net with 45 seconds left in the game. LMAO.
I think it was 22 seconds 😅
I feel like Barkov got shafted on the Conn Smythe. He shutdown the best of the best, round after round. It cant just be points- but I do still realize and respect what McD achieved by breaking some unbelievable records. no officiating controversy either, a great final and G7!
There's a reason that out of 17 Conn Smythe voters 16 had McDavid as their first choice and 0 had Barkov. McDavid was a +7 in the final and Barkov was a -1. McDavid was a +12 in the playoffs and Barkov was a -1. The Panthers are a deeper team with better team defense but individually they don't have any one near as valuable as McDavid.
@@Dylligraphy Barkovs job is not lighting up the lamp. he plays against the absolute best and is the best at it. he kept McD and Drai away when it mattered the most. his +/- is not going to be as high because he literally plays against the best of the best. -1 is actually pretty fkn good, and that includes the blowouts.
@@Nathanielhiggerson66 How can he be the best if he "literally plays against the best of the best". Think about what you're saying. The best of the best in the finals, the playoffs, and in general is McDavid. The Oilers have made some critical management mistakes like spending 14.25m per year on Nurse+Campbell and the Oilers don't have as complete a team. That said, you'd be crazy not to trade Barkov or any other Panther for McDavid 1-for-1.
@@Dylligraphy Best at what he does. his role isnt the same as McDavids, Barkov never cheats the game and as a captain leads by example. theres a reason when the panthers were on their game the ”best player” wasnt able to get anything done when it counted G6-7. and he did the same to the rangers, tampa, boston.
You gotta remember the award is based off of the whole playoffs. Not just game 6 and 7
Congrats Paul Maurice! You did it after all those years! The team that iced the puck 785 times beat the team that dove 215 times! Lol
This video is almost entirely about Edmonton. When they start talking about Florida they change the subject back to Edmonton. Then they get to the part where they're talking about Edmonton and then it's all Edmonton.
Elliott is full of crap. The series took way too long. We didn’t need 2 days off on travel days. If the NHL had any brains game 7 would have been played on Sunday night. Any early insight on ratings. I bet they weren’t good.
Look as a Panther fan, i have no complaints with the Conn Smythe going to Mcdavid. The Cats won what really matters
Same, but it would have been nice to give it to Barkov who was heroic this series
@@beeaggro2593The league gave it to McDavid with 0 points and 0 defensive presence in the last 2 games and was pretty silent for 5 total finals games, especially considering his role as an offensive player. They gave it to him because he beat Gretzkys record by beating up injured teams in drawn out series. He was the 3rd best player in the finals
I do. Bobrovsky and Barkov were better. Its not about save percentage or point tallies in blowouts, or Canadian media hype, its about being valuable to your team in the crucial moments and games. McDavid got the Connsolation Smythe.
Who edited this episode? Awful, audio cutting in and out, sections where the audio is sped up. Tough to listen to.
Amazing a British Columbian Athlete with the game winner 😊
What the hell happened to this pod in post lol
McDavid shouldn't have won the Conn Smythe. If you argue "it's the totality of the playoffs" then you have to recognize McDavid was not great over the course of the seven games in the Finals. Bob was basically lights out the entire playoffs until Games 4, 5, and 6 of the Finals. Bob had three bad games, McDavid had four. That's why Florida won in the end.
I watched every minute of Florida's run, Bob was good but he only stole one game in the whole run. Whereas Edmonton doesn't win a round without McDavid.
@@levonlarson4048 In the four Finals game s Bob won, he stopped 110 out of 115 shots for a .956 SV%. McDavid was a no show for five of the seven games
McDavid scored 11 points and was +7 while playing through an abdominal injury in the SCF but "wasn't that great" yeah okay. No one else had more than 7 points. Florida won because it's a team game. Bob's .906 in this playoffs was mediocre.
I'm sorry but yall are wrong about the Conn Smyth going to Mcdavid... did Mcdavid put Tampa on his highlight reel during these playoffs no he played a weak kings team. Bubba (bobrobsky) literally matched every other superstar goalie against us. Bubba was ripped off from the Conn Smyth I hope Mcdavidx enjoys his participation award. From all of us 🐈 fans we ❤ you Bubbarooski. 🐈's cup!!!!!
1) You can't even spell Conn Smythe so it's a good thing you don't have a vote in it.
2) Bubba was .906 in the playoffs which is super mid.
3) If you have any sense at all you would trade Bubba for McDavid in a heartbeat.
4) As a team, the Panthers are better, deeper, and more balanced. Individually, no one on their team is close to McDavid.
The broadcast was so Edmonton centric it was nauseating to listen...

*Draisaitl had two great chances from his one-time spot in the game and I am sure those two would’ve went in, if it was the regular season.*

BOB didn't preformed in games 5 through 6 & McDavid didn't preformed in games 1 through 3 and 6 & 7 so how does he he win the MVP over BOB? I know, I know the totality, So lets look at the totality of BOB entire playoff run he was avg 2.23 GA until game 5 of the finals vs top scoring teams like TB, BOS, NYR & Edmonton. We need to appreciate more how hard is it to play the position of goal tending. BOB was the last line of defense while McDavid always had the Luxury of a Leon assist to him or a Hayman assist to him. BOB didn't have that luxury. He is on an Island blocking 98 mph slap shots from Bouchard,
Bob also had a great defense working in front of him. Did you not watch last night's game? That was a textbook clinic in shot blocking. It was clear that before the game the Panthers thought "win or lose, this is the last game of the season so if we get hurt blocking shots tonight we got the summer to recover". There were so many times in the third that Bob was completely out of position but the Oilers still couldn't score because a Florida player just threw his entire body in the way. I'm a huge Bob fan but the only game he stole in this series was game one when the defense played bad in front of him and he had to bail them out.
Mcdavid's numbers.
@@mrquirky3626 and McDavid had the power play that was getting free goals throughout the playoffs with help from the refs. Wonder how many of his points were on the PP
Is Paul Henderson in the hall
I TOTALLY DISAGREE, the extra days off is what gave the advantage to EDMONTON, GEEZ 🙄, you new generation folks don’t know anything about the FIGHT GAME do you. Hockey players play 60 minutes of hockey with 2 breaks and sometimes overtime. Why would they need extra days off ??? Makes absolutely no sense, unless you’re trying to break the momentum of the team that’s up 3 games to none. It almost worked too. 🤔😡🤨
Gordie Howe is the greatest of them all/ Big League, Tom Cochran.

@@johnnybaxter1953 I said what I meant. I don't need you to educate me on the rules.
@@thomasbrown9402 So you’re just yapping, got it
@@johnnybaxter1953the finals are the most important part of the playoffs. Maybe Mcdavid didn’t know that also.
I can't help wondering, why did it took game 7 for the Panthers to get their game back? The previous 3 games they didn't look like the same team. Odd. I thing the NHL wanted a 7 game final series, so that's what they got.
82 games and then 3 prior intense playoff series against the Eastern Conference's best. I actually think they sort of ran out of gas for those 3 games. Just burnt out, charred.
Then why would the 2023 final be in 5 games? If you're going to talk conspiracies at least make it something that's been consistent, like how a Canadian team hasn't won a cup under Bettman.
The games aren't "consistently" fixed by dictate, but I think they're influenced by the league, the coaches, and the refs. As for Canadian teams, they're not as skilled as the US teams. They have lost the advantage they once had.
Believe what you will, doesn't matter to me. I think this series was influenced, that's all.
Because Maurice and the Panthers played Edmonton and its entire fan base like a fiddle. It’s not enough to win, panthers like to give hope, then to crush it.
Friedge, your assumption „of a better game“ due to a further rest day correlates only with FLA win and is wrong. What you dont see is, that #97 and #29 have had no benefit and it would have been a better game, if all players would have been equally stressed by a back to back rhythm. You see the point?
My point is not arguing against FLA - they deserved the Cup, they were better in game #7.
But a better game we didnt have as a consequence of more rest days.
It’s hilarious to see the bandwagon fans cry about McDavid losing 😂

Thanks for talking about Winnipeg and Mcgorerty. Heard he was also injured last year which played into Winnipeg saying he wasnt ready for NHL yet. I agree that they likely will focus on top player building to continue their playoff run and not as much on newer players unless they are coming in hot. Just my thoughts. 🤔✈️

Agree. He was invisible in the Stanley cup final games that mattered. Did nothing games 1-3, 6-7. Absolute nonsense. Running up points against bad teams and bad goaltending all playoffs made those totals possible.

yeah and Oilers were extremely lucky to get that one break out so?
And now the Edmonton fans can be quiet. Edmonton is a great team…. I feel really bad for McDavid, he looked crushed. Last night was so emotional for me as a fan. The Panthers played their game and it showed. Seeing the camaraderie of this team is beautiful. LETS GO CATS! Cup CHAMPS!
