If Bob looks like shit tonight, would you dare go to Stolarz in Game 7? Personally I think they'll start Bob even if it goes to 7..Might get pulled tonight but still starts game 7..BUT I was wrong once before, think it was 1968..lol..Only a million times since. Tough to fault Bob tonight. No chance on the first two goals. A stop on Hyman's breakaway would be nice but hard to expect that save. Can't believe the Oilers forced Game 7!

For me this series changed with the injection of Connor Brown , while there are plenty of other Players contributing he brings fresh energy . Watching Maurice cry is Priceless When they pan the Panthers bench they look shell shocked and unable to handle the pressure.

Watching Maurice cry is Priceless When they pan the Panthers bench they look shell shocked and unable to handle the pressure. I don't think I've seen a Finals team look more lost and shell shocked than FLA has since game 4. I'm not in the room obviously, but you have to wonder if the relative ease with which they got here, the Boston series not withstanding, if they had developed a sense of complacency and maybe even dare I say, entitlement? To this point, they had gotten away with a ton of shit and also gotten plenty of calls in their favor, but so far in the Finals, that doesn't seem to be happening at the clip it was. Add to that the horseshoe finally falling out of Bob's ass and their PP going to absolute shit, they're in some serious trouble and I hope the hell they lose. Not unlike us last year, this could be their final kick at the can with a good portion of this roster, I would thoroughly enjoy watching them fail spectacularly. I know how petty that sounds, but with the exception of maybe 5, or 6 players, I've got zero respect for this FLA team. And as hard as it is for me to really get behind EDM given their history with us, I don't really hate any of their players. I'd rather see the Cup go to a team of players that I don't despise than one as full of shit bags as FLA.

Last night’s game turned on an offside call gone wrong it changed the game , I have no clue what they pay Dave Jackson for absolutely useless input on Officiating calls . Why in God’s name is a Game Seven scheduled for a Monday night ?

Last night’s game turned on an offside call gone wrong it changed the game , I have no clue what they pay Dave Jackson for absolutely useless input on Officiating calls . That call was massive, no doubt. From all the angles we saw, I felt it was too close to call so the goal was going to stand, but man, what a gut punch for FLA...breaks my heart. I saw that Maurice was quite upset and all I could think was, 'Sucks being on the wrong side of a questionable call, eh Paul?' And on Jackson, I agree, he doesn't bring much at all to the broadcast. All I can think of is he's related to a producer, has dirt on one, or they owe him money.

Crafar, I feel same as you, I'll bite the bullet too.. But imagine how good it would be to watch FLO lose game 7 on home ice after being up 3-0, I do not like EDM but would prefer them making a complete comback than another Florida team with a lousy fanbase win it..I know Im repeating what Crafar said but I feel exact same.. All in all, should be an exciting one tonight, hope Connor is on his game.. Ayup and to add to that, watch a team that isn't the Bruins get kicked in the dick along with going into the NHL record books as probably the greatest choke job in league history.... couldn't happen to bigger collective of shit bags.yes

I guess I’ll have to look at the positive here. Maybe our divisional rival gets absolutely gutted with this potential collapse on Monday or Oilers fans get crushed. I’ll take either.

I'm not sure if I said it on here or on Newfoundland board..When Florida went up 3-0, I posted somewhere that this will go 7 games and Panthers will win game 7 and the cup on home soil BUT only after the League gets its cut by series going 7..Honest to God, I've been all my life saying theres no way possible anything is rigged in hockey and I absolutely hate myself for even thinking that way, But man, you gotta wonder sometimes..Up 3-0 and looking dominant and now its going the distance..
Ok, nothing is rigged BUT they would have lost a fortune if this ended after 4 games..Packed stadiums paying top dollar to watch the postseason??
GAME 7 Prediction___Florida 5 Oilers 1

If I was a Leaf fan I would be very pissed watching Hyman’s success with the Oil , might be one of the biggest failures of Dubas as a GM . And to make it worse He is on a Cap friendly deal .

And maybe gutted in more way than one - given the amount of FAs on FLA's roster, this team could look a lot different next year.

I have a really strange feeling we are going to see something extremely controversial tonight. Whether that be a Cup winning goal that gets challenged and called back or an absolute bullshit penalty at the most inopportune time, something just tells me we are in for a wild one tonight.
It pains me to cheer for the Oilers here but I think the Oilers win inflicts the most damage so that's really all I'm watching for!

I thought you were going to say that the Leafs were the only team to have come back from 3-0 in a cup final but might have to share that distinction with the Oil after tonight. The poor Leaf fans will soon have nothing to brag about. lol To your point I'm betting they probably wish they still had Hyman instead of Marner or Tavares.

I don’t care who wins at this point but I do like 1 theory on why the Oilers lose tonight.
They have won three in a row, they’ve tied the series and in their collective minds they can exhale and relax just a little. If it happens it’ll be their undoing.

Exactly 13 years ago, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was selected 1st overall by the Oilers in the 2011 NHL Draft. What a journey for the young man! He played on some shitty Oilers teams those first few years too!

Found this pretty interesting!
"Veteran forward Kyle Okposo will draw back in for the Florida Panthers in Game 7 against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night.
The 36-year-old winger should have no shortage of motivation as he replaces Nick Cousins, who took his spot in the lineup for Game 6.
Okposo is pursuing his first career Stanley Cup after a career that has seen him play in 1,051 career games. He also will receive a $500,000 performance bonus if he wins the trophy as part of the one-year, $2.5 million contract he signed with the Buffalo Sabres prior to this season. The bonus will apply to the Panthers' salary cap for next season if the team wins Game 7."

What might have been….

Yup was a bad signing for sure. He was healthy though that season. Played 70 games and another 15 in the playoffs to get to game 7 at home. In a series that was won on pure physicality against his former team he’s gotta be in the lineup not some smurf fresh out of college.
