Education Technology manager by day, Aurora chaser by night. I find joy in the simple things: a good cup of coffee or tea, a long bike ride, and cheering on my favorite sports teams. Family is my heart, and my furry companions are a constant source of joy.

Yes they were. I still believe that priority 1 is either a bonafide starter in goal or a new goalie coach or both

That we'll never know since the back-up never played. Bob is nothing special but we could have made things tougher if the rule book was called both ways equally

The problem is that Bettman doesn't care and won't do anything about it as those no tax states are exactly where he wants the cup won

You knew it was going to be that type of game early in the first when Podkolzin got high sticked and there was no call. The missed high sticks by the Panthers in this series compare to every one called against the #Oilers is mind boggling

As I said before, I love Skinner but he is not a starter. Or at least not a starter with Schwartz around coaching him. They Oilers need a bonafide starter or a different goalie coach or both

Some team is really going to pay him some top level cash. At least we won't have to deal with him as a Panther again. Maybe with a new team he will get called for all those cheap shots

Good one

They did stop the physical game when they kept getting called and the Panthers didn't for the same thing

Agreed. They lost as an entire organization

Home ice advantage only counts if you win your home game. They needed to win game 5 to test that out

But they did to start, gave up that goal on the Bouch turnover and then stopped.

After the first goal they stopped playing #Oilers hockey

Agreed. The Panthers just flat out played better than the #Oilers in every position and situation

They should probably have tried more the first 53 minutes?

And thanks to you. I love when we can all just talk hockey without all the other stuff that happens between the uncivilized fans of all teams

They need to be running 2 lines to be successful

It really has been and roller coaster team. Look like the best team one night then look like the worst the next game

I don't care who does it but it should be delay of game if the wrong player is on the ice. Yes, the #Oilers did it once. That was the third time for the Panthers.

I won't be sticking around to see it

The high sticking ones especially since the #Oilers always get called for them

You and me both

This summer the #Oilers need one thing. I like Skinner but he is not a starter. The Oilers need a bonafide starter

McDavid was also to blame on the second goal

I actually just posted the same thing

Yep and that type of play should cost him millions on his contract
