I blame the #Oilers loss on the Leafs. If they had taken care of business when they had a chance early in the playoffs to take the Panthers out the ending would have been different. But is as usual, the Leafs left the party early.

I'll say it again as several people have blamed Skinner for the 3-0 goal. Skinner or Pickard give up rebounds and there are no defenders to clear. Goalie Bob gives up a rebound and there is no forward there to cash in. That's the difference #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

Well it is what it is. The #Oilers got further than 30 other teams. We rode the highs and lows and in the end they lost. We will continue to support them. It is only a game afterall. They gave us a couple of months to help forget the other BS going on in the world. #LetsGoOilers

Technically the Panthers had too many men on the ice (10-12) with 8 seconds left but whatever #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

So Kane and Turtle take a light swing at each other and Kane gets a misconduct but Turtle escapes a penalty. Hmmm #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

So I guess that whole home ice advantage that everyone was talking about as the reason the #Oilers lost last year just got booted out the window hey? #LetsGoOilers

Podkolzin gets one back and at least they broke the SO for goalie Bob. #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

Sure #OIlers. Let's just let the Panthers pad the stats and embarrass us even more. Game was over. What is the point of the empty net at this point? #LetesGoOilers

#Oilers pull the goalie with 7 minutes left just seems excessive. #LetsGoOilers

It sure looked like Nuge should have drawn a penalty there but I guess the stripes are watching another game somewhere. #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

Skinner or Pickard give up rebounds and there are no defenders to clear. Goalie Bob gives up a rebound and there is no forward there to cash in. That's the difference right now #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

The game is now officially over. They are not coming back tonight #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

This should be a delay of game penalty against the Panthers. Sure, let them screw around and have the wrong players on to get those on the ice a rest. Not the first time they have done that this series. Teams should be aware they can do that next season #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

The Panthers would have scored twice in that series where the #Oilers had 2 good chances but scored none #LetsGoOilers

Bouchard, Drai, McDavid and Perry all a -2 in the first period. Enough said. Our best are not playing better than their best players #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

Game, Set, Match. Defense needs to clear the front of the net. Too much watching and not enough doing #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

Amazing how the #Oilers high sticks always seem to be caught but the Panthers high sticks are rarely seen by the stripes. Mind boggling TBH #LetsGoOilers

That giveaway by Bouchard should cost him several million in his contract negotiation. Defense needs to improve as does his urgency factory. #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

Fucking Bouchard. Team starts great and then Bouch gives it away. No urgency and bang, it's in the net and the #Oilers trail again early. #LetsGoOilers

2 shots that goalie Bob and struggled with down between the pads #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

#Oilers banging bodies early and need to keep on it. Hit any Panther that moves especially the defenders on the forecheck #LetsGoOilers
