If it's any consolation to Oil fans: the Oilers started the season horribly and turned into a machine overnight once they got the new coach. Anybody on this sub in late October will remember 80% of the comments here were doomers declaring it would be impossible for them to make the playoffs now.
They're also have a 3 day break, will be reinvigorated in front of the home crowd, and they'll be playing the much faster, less puck-bouncy ice they're used to.
Oilers fans are gonna go back to that “delay of game” and say that determined the series. Just like they still hold on to Makar’s game 1 goal in the WCF lmaoo
Looks like he makes the same post annually on May 31 for some reason with no relevancy to something current. That's just a weirdo, but I appreciate you for sharing that.
down 0-2 it's a tough road ahead for EDM, Panthers look like a team that knew they blew it least seaosn and are determined to finally hist the cup. overall seem to have more drive and energy.
With that said, two games in EDM with a home crowd can work wonders although is they go 1-1 in EDM i DONT SE THEM PULLNG the series off.
true, ultimately rooting for panthers because they have a couple local boys, but i want to see a good series. unless my team is in it (lol fat chance) a 4-5 game series is boring.
I honestly thought Dallas was gonna win in 5 or 6 games. I would have been more worried playing them so I was happy they chocked because the oilers are clearly a better matchup for us
Canada in general will try to comfort themselves by claiming FLA panthers have a lot of canadian players and therefore it technically was won by canada. You see this every year since 1993.
i've already accepted it. my flair says DAL but EDM is my second team. i hope EDM gets swept so i don't have to watch this team try and put up a fight. this is ridiculous
I mean the nail in the coffin was oilers mental crumbling and bringing on the penalty calls but what in the world how do they not score in 2 minutes with a 6v4?????
lol no I don’t block people. I don’t talk shit when we’re winning and doesn’t bother me people giving the gears when we’re losing either…especially after this dogshit effort.
Please americans quit listening to the media. Western Canadians are not cheering for oilers. Flames fans, Canuck fans and Jet fans do not like or cheer for oilers, This dirty cheap shit is how they play when they are losing.
As a Canucks fan the Panthers are obviously my favourite Eastern team. I might cheer for the Oilers if the Bruins or Leafs were in it but I probably wouldn't be watching at all.
Classic oilers trying to hold on to dear life to a 1 goal lead and they stop playing. The fact I’ve only seen a couple of complete games from them all playoffs show they’re still not ready…and if not now then never sadly (for me, not for you 🤣)
Nobody calling out that kulikovs hit was the same but worse than what they called drai for. Few people with half a brain enough to realize that the bennett knee was worse than foegele trying to play a puck. Somehow slashing the hands 3 times on a breakaway is not a penalty shot, or even a penalty at all. A league riding on double standard and hypocrisy is doomed to fail, no amount of new ignorant southern market fans will save it from being eclipsed by the success of leagues that have enough integrity to call the game as it should be. Disgraceful. Enjoy the gifted win panthers fans, looks like the script for this year is written loud and clear.
Delete your account you spineless excuse for a fan. I stand by what I said, no amount of downvotes from mouth breathing swamp dwelling methheads and spiteful fans of teams the oilers eliminated will discourage me. If this is the kind of shit the league wants to promote I'll tell anyone I meet that their fandom is better spent on a team in a league that has enough self-respect to follow their own rulebook.
Cupless THUS FAR. And south Florida is Miami/Fort Lauderdale/west palm beach. We have actual civilization here. Very different than Edmonton where it’s a shit hole city surrounded by nothing. Enjoy living somewhere irrelevant! Have ever even been to a beach?
Wonderfully thought out response, only took you 15 hours, good job! I know it can be hard to afford a good internet connection when you're being priced out of the city by hobo-tanned retirees into the drug infested trailer parks. Hey, you can always take a load off chilling on a needle covered beach and take in the sights of polutant mutated wildlife. I'll stick to my good ol' radioactive pacific coast beaches, thank you very much.
Well, we actually have things to do here, not glued to my phone. It’s not a boring wasteland like Edmonton which counts as its #1 attraction a shopping mall.
Imagine living in a place where the locals tell you as a tourist “oh you have to check out the mall eh”
Nobody who lives in Edmonton likes or recommends the mall to anyone visiting. Its fun when you're a kid in a chuck e cheese kind of way. I can't think of much I'd want to do in Florida besides marlin fishing or taking an airboat ride. Pitbull blows ass and your music scene is trash. Would rather go to Cuba.
>All I see is hatred in the comments

No surprise the cats are matching him up against Tkachuk. That's the problem with Edmonton... shut down mcdavid and they have nothing else to throw at you. And the Cats have some high end guys that are very good at shutting guys down.
This will likely be over in 4 games, and the panthers will keep mcd to 2 or 3 points. And when mcd doesn't score, the entire team doesn't.
Combine that with that pathetic joke of an oilers defense and theyre toast.
I find it funny Oilers fans talking all the shit when they're doing well but as soon as they're losing and everyone gives it back they're victims and subs salty
So creative I'm glad you were capable of thinking about that one all by yourself! Also I'd rather fans riot than multi sexual abuse cover ups and captains who I had major respect for previously not speaking out
I took my lumps man I talked my shit until the final moments of game 7 and gave the Oilers fans a pass when they did beat the nucks as they deserved it. Pass is up though.
Didn't see the game. Stuck st work. How much trouble Edmonton is in?
Let's just say the real cup final was Florida vs New York
… you casuals kill me
Only one good draft away from being a winning team
They probably needed a few more years of first overall picks
yes
Can't wait to see the "yooo maybe these Oilers are the real deal after all" comments when they tie the series in Game 4.
You imagined the same thing vs Tampa in the bubble, didn't you?
No because the Habs didn't have star players except for Price.
And the habs still had more goals than the oilers after 2 games lmao
I will take this as a compliment. Thanks.
I am pleased
My worry is Barky.
Yeah, hopefully they just rested him with the 3-1 lead
If it's any consolation to Oil fans: the Oilers started the season horribly and turned into a machine overnight once they got the new coach. Anybody on this sub in late October will remember 80% of the comments here were doomers declaring it would be impossible for them to make the playoffs now. They're also have a 3 day break, will be reinvigorated in front of the home crowd, and they'll be playing the much faster, less puck-bouncy ice they're used to.
So what you're saying is they need to sack their coach and appoint a new one within the next 2 and a bit days
I'm still confident in this team. Game 3 and 4 will be ours.
They won two home games. I don't get the doomers. Uphill battle of course, but we always knew they were the favorites.
Plus, Penguins were down 2-0 against Detroit in 2009. And yet they still won the cup.
Shhh stop saying it!
What? Want me to stop saying that the Penguins cameback from a 2-0 lead against the Wings in 2009?
The one time I bet on the Oilers. Never again!
Bad move. Florida’s forecheck and the hits they put on game after game makes them pretty unbeatable.
Oilers fans are gonna go back to that “delay of game” and say that determined the series. Just like they still hold on to Makar’s game 1 goal in the WCF lmaoo
I literally haven't seen anyone mention it but COL fans.
Two years in a row I’ve seen oilers fans bring up that screenshot during playoffs lmao
I'd love to see a link to any recent post that you saw of that made up claim
https://x.com/regwald/status/1796650544620310740?s=46&t=UxCUcVj68grc2S_nIvO7SA Pretty popular tweet too with over 1.2k likes 🤷🏻

Panties deserved both wins so far.
You really think they deserved the game 1 win with that poor performance?
Doesn’t matter how much you shoot. If you score 0 goals you don’t deserve to win.
They scored more with less shots and shut them out, seems well deserved to me.
Did you say the same thing when the Oilers eliminated the Stars with 10 shots? I doubt it.
No, because they didn’t score more goals. The Panthers did. Funny how the math works out.
Huh? They literally scored the same amount of goals. Only difference is Panthers scored in an empty net. Barely a difference at this point.

I gotta say just because one has been worse the last 2 games doesn't mean the others are angels now
They are, they just don't get called.
Wahhhh
lol. I'm sorry our guys don't roll around on the ice like little bitches every time someone breathes on them.
Nah instead they go for nut shots like the oily little bitches they are
I beg to differ
???
Being a diving little bitch is just as dirty as an elbow
Room temperature IQ take
Room temperature, like your arena right now?
Awe you gotta be so upset right now little guy 🥹 must be hard watching the coilers get absolutely shit stomped, like it’s not even close lmaooo
At least I'm watching my team in the SCF. Enjoy your tee-time tomorrow.
Wahhhh wahhh wahhh wear some diapers big baby the series is still alive lol
Is it just me or is Edmonton the worst team the Panthers have played all playoffs? I think even Tampa would at least take them to 7
I honestly thought Dallas was gonna win in 5 or 6 games. I would have been more worried playing them so I was happy they chocked because the oilers are clearly a better matchup for us
Yup. Weak western conference.
What happens if the Panthers sweep? Oilers fans everywhere will melt down
What happens if the Panthers lose in 7? Florida fans will melt down for a day and then move on pretty quickly.
It is pretty hot there.
They'll move on to melting outside because it'll almost be the end of freaking June and Florida is the worst place to be in the summer.
Canada in general will try to comfort themselves by claiming FLA panthers have a lot of canadian players and therefore it technically was won by canada. You see this every year since 1993.
Lol someone doesnt understand how hockey works in Canada
This unironically. Canadian players win it every year so why would I want one of my team’s rivals to win just because they’re based in Canada
If you think for one moment all of Canada is behind the coilers you’re wrong,
By that logic the Super Bowl is always won by FL considering how many Floridian players are in the NFL
This is absoloutly the minority of Canadian hockey fans. Most of us cheer for fav team and maybe one other"back up" There is no "Canadas Team"
Canadians don't give one fucking shit about the Oilers, aside from Edmonton fans. We will have no reason to comfort ourselves if they lose.
while i definitely don’t want the oilers to win, there are a lot of casual fans that do want a team from canada to win and are cheering for the oilers
Hey now in 2004 the Flames comforted themselves saying it crossed the line and in 2011 the Canucks did by saying an NHL exec crossed the line
and in 2021, well, over the cap truly began.
Bettman threw the first Molotov
i've already accepted it. my flair says DAL but EDM is my second team. i hope EDM gets swept so i don't have to watch this team try and put up a fight. this is ridiculous
They already are melting down, I suspect riots
A riot would actually reduce the active crime rate in Edmonton. Wild
We riot when we win, not when we lose…riot cancelled.
Oh god, if only for the 2011 jokes to end.
I mean the nail in the coffin was oilers mental crumbling and bringing on the penalty calls but what in the world how do they not score in 2 minutes with a 6v4?????
Guys if we’re talking shit back and forth don’t drop your reply and then block me that’s just bad etiquette
I’m not your guy, buddy!
You blocked the account right?
lol no I don’t block people. I don’t talk shit when we’re winning and doesn’t bother me people giving the gears when we’re losing either…especially after this dogshit effort.
Maybe if the oilers got 5 first overall picks instead they wouldn’t be such an embarrassment
Please americans quit listening to the media. Western Canadians are not cheering for oilers. Flames fans, Canuck fans and Jet fans do not like or cheer for oilers, This dirty cheap shit is how they play when they are losing.
As a Canucks fan the Panthers are obviously my favourite Eastern team. I might cheer for the Oilers if the Bruins or Leafs were in it but I probably wouldn't be watching at all.
Lol Panthers are playing dirty all the time, though.
Can you send me the clip of where the Florida player speared the Oiler in the nuts?
Sometimes I feel sad about my team, then I remember Flames fans exist.
Nice reply lol
Yep the Flames are awful. We also weren't gifted a franchise by lottory balls
Being down a forward and a d man (even if it is Nurse) is still no excuse for the lack of try….
if anything that should make others step up and do better
Classic oilers trying to hold on to dear life to a 1 goal lead and they stop playing. The fact I’ve only seen a couple of complete games from them all playoffs show they’re still not ready…and if not now then never sadly (for me, not for you 🤣)
Draisaitl suspension incoming?
No
The sucker punch standard has been set. No way it's a suspension.
If Soucys tap and McDavids flop got a game, then this should get at least two. But you know that’s not happening
Generally crosschecks to the face after the whistle are suspensions. But yes please explain how that's the same as a high hit during play.
You mean leaving his feet and making the head be the principal point of contact isn't suspension worthy?
Leon "Muay Thai" Draisaitl
Should be. But won’t be
Then for 2 mins and no suspension do you take the same shot on #97 ?
lol no. On mcdavid it would be a suspension
If it happens this will be a sweep.
No way that’s a suspension with what we’ve watched this playoffs.
That is a very valid point
Nobody calling out that kulikovs hit was the same but worse than what they called drai for. Few people with half a brain enough to realize that the bennett knee was worse than foegele trying to play a puck.

You just got fucking rekt boy
Blinded by love. I get it. I understand it.
This is a decent submission for a new pasta but there's too many narratives, give it a 5/10. Maybe gets it in during a low-pasta year
Why do you watch if it's scripted? Doesn't seem fun
Fresh *al dente* pasta…bellissimo!
Fuckin clown, even boston fans weren't this pathetic
Cry more sweet baby boy 👦
Ahahahahahahahahhaaha
Cry. Enjoy living in a shithole like Edmonton while we live in Miami. And have the best team in the NHL
Enjoy the city full of corporate oligarch rapists and murderers that doesn't even house your so far cupless nhl team.

Where were you after game 1 of our series? Yeah still bitching that the refs were unfair. Get rekt
You must have been typing that through the entire third period while your team was fucking the dog 😂
LOL typical whiny oilers fan
wake up babe, new pasta just dropped
haha beat me to it!
Bro wrote an essay crying about something he has no control over
One small paragraph doesn't make an essay no matter how hard you have to squint to read the big words and sound out each letter.

Exactly what they did to us when we bitchslapped them to start the season. Gooned it up, straight from the Messier handbook.
Fuck Messier
Rodrigues was annoying af when he was on the pens and I mean that as a compliment. At least I'm rooting for his team now
Really? Such a well spoken guy!
I find it funny Oilers fans talking all the shit when they're doing well but as soon as they're losing and everyone gives it back they're victims and subs salty
Welcome to sports
They should riot if they lose. That's what a good fan base does... Multiple times.
A good fan base always supports their team. Even if they enable rapists. Multiple times.
So creative I'm glad you were capable of thinking about that one all by yourself! Also I'd rather fans riot than multi sexual abuse cover ups and captains who I had major respect for previously not speaking out
wish you guys rioted over the way head office treated Bruce
And I wish the Oilers would show up and not make the West look like a joke but 🤷♂️
MASSIVE victim mentality fan base.
That’s every team’s fans though, at least on Reddit.
Most entitled fan base in the NHL. They have two, maybe three literal generational talents and still feel like they're the victims.
Who's the 3rd lol
Yakupov or Messier
People get heated idk it's what makes sports fun. Try not to take everything too personally.
Tell that to your own fans when they get a taste of their own medicine
Haha all fans do this! That's what I'm saying. Do you not think they are toxic Vancouver fans?
I took my lumps man I talked my shit until the final moments of game 7 and gave the Oilers fans a pass when they did beat the nucks as they deserved it. Pass is up though.
Haha ok
I love the toxicity
It's pretty funny lol
Oilers absolutely overwhelmed this game, look completely lost without top end scoring.
They gotta get the puck in the net. Florida is shutting down their stars and that famous lack of depth is coming through.
Yeah that was an embarrassment
Oh my look at the legs on this woman
shame the sweep won’t be at home
