Agreed, sadly it was the only way that the Oils could get back into this series was to cheap shot and get FLA off their game. Sadly I've seen this in several series lately, teams get dirty especially when they're losing

I don't watch much Hockey, but I thought the same when I caught the game the other night. Oilers kept at it with the cheap shots. Was waiting for a brawl to happen.

It is probable the season ends much like Boston's win last night. As I have no stake & want Florida to work more, I hope they don't win (yet)

:P

Game 6.

Panthers have had 2 shots to close out Edmonton and have done the choke job. 2 more tries but really, do they want to go to Game 7???

The Panthers have stopped playing their game the last two games. No idea why. Obviously, a little credit goes to the Oilers for finally waking up but just not seeing the relentless forecheck that has gotten them to where they are. Bob also looks normal the last two games vs elite like the rest of the playoffs. History says the Panthers still win this. They certainly don't want to be on the other side of that history.

Yeah, if I were Miami, I would not want this to go 7. It must end tomorrow. Oilers had their 'air' after getting the oxygen sucked from them for the first 3 games but that's enough.

If it goes 7...eek for Panthers. Coinflip.

Agreed on all points, Rangers coulda beat the team that showed up the last 2 games. lol

Wow.

Hey, not complainin'. I get a Game 7 but this was not what I pictured. Holy toledo. We're about to witness one of THE greatest chokes ever AND one of the greatest comebacks ever. The latter with a team that I still think is totally built wrong.

I don't really care who wins but it would be sorta 'funny' if somehow, Oilers manage to deny the best player of this generation a Cup yet again.

Anyone seen Shoresy? I stumbled on it yesterday & have watched 5 episodes, it's sophomoric & vulgar but funny as hell.

Have you watched Letterkenny? That started before Shoresy and is just as bad but funny as hell as well.

I can't believe the Panthers are going to blow this. It is unreal how their game has disappeared. At this point though I don't know if I can say I fully believe it just went away vs the Oilers having figured out something to neutralize it at least a little.

I have not, I'll look into it.

I think it is a combination of they lost their game/swagger & Edmonton figured them out & got the swagger.

Triple OT game 7 would be EPIC. I just hope Florida decides to show up. It would be one of the biggest collapses in the modern area to go from how dominant they were through the playoffs to losing 4 straight.

I'd love a tight 0-0 game to numerous OTs to a climactic McD GWG.

I'd also be cool with an Edmonton blow out.

Hoping FLA finds a way to actually show up and play, I have a lot of conspiracy theories about McJesus being "due" but I'll hold those to myself. It's been a fun series rather than a sweep at least

I mean, we've all seen the games and the Oilers like dialed it up a few notches and really, found a way around the Panthers vicious forecheck. Maurice et al have had 2 days and really, 2 other games to figure out the Edmonton adjustments and so, if they don't tonight, they don't deserve anything and really, all the ridicule that comes with the greatest chokejob in modern sports history IMO.

I would've given the vote to Barkov. Thought he did a stellar job tonight.

Congrats to Miami.

Ultimately, the better team won. Oilers did make it interesting to roar back 3 straight to make it a series...at the rate McDavid is going, he's the new generation's Ovechkin. Can't win a Cup if his life counted on it until well, years and years later.
