Wow

I’m okay with either team winning— I like Florida and I really like the way they are built, but I’d be okay with McDavid getting his first Stanley Cup. I was also really happy to see Skinner have a great redemption before getting replaced by Pickard again. I just can’t stand when one team is helped along, which is exactly what happened tonight. I mean, you have Bettman saying that McDavid transcends hockey right before the finals starts. He obviously wants McDavid to get at least one Stanley Cup.

I watched the entire game. You couldn’t be more wrong, but hey it’s your opinion. We are both free to have them.

I guess we found the Edmonton fan. That was one of the most blatant lopsided officiating performances I’ve ever seen. There were multiple blatant penalties right when the Oilers scored in the second period including one of the Florida players stick being held for 20 full seconds right before the goal in full view of the ref. Then it happened again in the third period with Verhaegge that directly impacted the scoring opportunity. Also, the first penalty that led to the first power play goal was questionable. They ignored at least four or five clear penalties on the Panthers mostly in the second period. So I guess yeah that’s a bizarre take. lol

If I’m a Florida fan, I would be so beside myself with the officiating tonight

Welp that’s the series

This is the series

Man just got a painful reminder of how long it’s been since Drury did that for us

I swear, if the Sabres ever get done like this by the officials in a Stanley Cup game, I will cut down every single palm tree in buffalo as a protest

Is that why watching them play for the last seven years has felt like Chinese water torture

Another blatant stick hold by Edmonton not called. This is out of control tonight honestly

They’ve been helped along by the refs significantly, including the second goal where an Oilers player was holding a Florida players stick for a full 20 seconds blatantly with no call right before the goal.

Please tell me some of you saw that it was unbelievably blatant and that’s why the crowd was pissed

WOW Edmonton player held that dude’s stick for a full 20 seconds before that goal hahaha

“Connor McDavid transcends hockey” Florida fans couldn’t have been happy to hear that prior to the series starting from the commish

Lol the orders to help McDavid have come down from Bettman

I’m down here too. And totally agree. They’re exactly what I want the Sabres to be.

I’ve never had a second team in any sport because I never really needed one, but Florida is definitely my second team with hockey watching them play the last few years has been a pleasure honestly

Edmonton embarrassing themselves and just confirming that the Panthers own them physically and mentally

Edmonton just going full dirty

Edmonton is unraveling like the Sabres after an opposing goalie is pulled.

Every time I watch the Panthers my anger at letting Sam go increases.

You can’t have seven guys on the ice?

Marchand with the unintentional Kucherov no move goal.

Awesome. Marchand was such a clutch signing by the Panthers.
