In 2021 the Panthers and Oilers both lost in round one. Since then, they have been the best playoff teams in the NHL. The Panthers have won 11 of 13 playoff series, going 45-27. The Oilers have won 9 of 12 playoff series, going 41-28. I don't think there is a lot to choose between the two teams. Both play excellent D. The Panthers maybe have a truculence edge, but the Oilers are not short in that area (Perry, Kane, Frederic, Nurse). The stars on these teams won't be intimidated. Bobrovsky probably gives the Panthers the edge in goal. And then there is McDavid. Should be great.

As I stated earlier Rangers and fans were sniffing hard trying to force a trade... If I was going to even consider it... it would cost the Rangers Panarin.

The loss of Hyman does hurt Edmonton but that will now result in more playing time for Perry and Skinner. I’d make the Panthers a slight favorite but now the Oilers have the experience and know what it’ll take to beat Florida and win it all. I wouldn’t bet money on this final either way. Gonna be tight and could go either way.

If the Sabres were to trade all four to… Vancouver, let’s say… and then Vancouver won the Cup riding UPL… I’m out. I’m dropping hockey at that point.

Who will it be next year. UPL? Quinn? JJP? Byram? All of the above? 🤣

Edmonton wins the conference finals on the road. Impressive.

Rantanen went from a hero to a dud quickly

Jeff skinner to the cup hello crap

6-3 game one win with Boushh playing. 0-3 since.

Laval must have burned out vs the Amerks. Charlotte has won the first two games in Laval; 5-1 and 5-2.

The Oilers saw that and then decided to play Jeff Skinner to 2X the Sabre factor in their favor.

Seems to lack commitment.

This is what Dallas gets for benching Lybushkin. The ex Sabre bump is gone.

I read a story about Zito’s leadership style. He said he has surrounded himself with some smart hockey people who will challenge him. He wants a diversity of ideas and will hear them out before making a decision. The people he mentions as advisors are Rick Dudley, Paul Fenton, Roberto Luongo, Gregory Campbell, Les Jackson and a few others.

Just So talented that McDavid eh?

McDavid wasn’t even floating defensively looking for an easy outlet. He’s just faster to pivot and take off than anyone else.

And McJesus just puts a dagger in their heart. Even before that goal I was thinking the Stars are having to expend SO much energy just to make up the two goal deficit. Against a team like the Oilers that makes you very susceptible to odd man rushes against. And here we are.

McDavid is amazing.

Wow

If Skinner and the Oilers come through this year that will make it a well established pattern that other GMs will find impossible to ignore anymore. Lol

It’s a game again.

Watching Jeff Skinner drift around the D zone while his team was under assault looked familiar.

Rumours are dumb. Go back and look at the last 100 rumours affecting this team. How many came true?

I do like Rochester’s coach more than Appert.

Everyone should’ve been stocking up on as many ex-Sabres as possible.
