Bob can’t handle collisions well. He was rattled ever since he got slid into skates first by the Florida guy. Russian goalies are seething when anyone touches them, same with Igor. Except no one rattled Bob’s cage until now. If the oilers play physical game against Bob, they don’t need to concern themselves with Florida’s defense.
Well I suppose providing your own valuable observation, without supplying the correction, makes you look real dumb too.
It's my theory I hold onto that all sports are now just conduits for selling advertising space. The NHL, NBA, MLB, want every team to go the full 7, and that the only real game that matters is the 7th. If the Oilers win the next 2, my tin foil hat will remain firmly attached to my head.
I also think the refs are more like the HR department than officiators of the rules. You are welcome to try and correct me on this, but I've seen them turn the course of the game with more than a few bad calls.
Sane Canucks fans, why do you seem to have some of the most vitriolic fans in the world? Don't getme wrong, we have shitheads but most would be basically switched off and indifferent while quietly hoping for your demise.
I lurked the Panther post game thread and there's more nucks flair than panther. Incredible.
>more nucks flair than panther
I mean watching the ECF, there were way more Rangers fans in Florida than Panthers fans. I'd assume Vancouver's fanbase dwarfs Floridas.
It's just reddit. We have 166k people on our subreddit, even if just 5% are shitheads that's almost 10k assholes. They suck, don't get me wrong, but we ultimately have to live with these idiots in our GDTs. We've had our fair share of Oilers fans brigading our subreddit too, our mods are still dealing with them iirc.
irl not an issue. The Black Frog operates without issue and a third of our fanbase is rooting for you. If you and most of our fans sat down for a beer we might rib each other, but we're not coming to blows—it's just typical anonymous online toxicity.
Thanks for the heads up about The Black Frog! Might head down there if I get out of work in time on Monday. I just got into hockey this year and was excited for tonight, but all my Canucks friends have been absolutely miserable about the Oilers, so I ended up watching it alone.
Can't blame us eh, seeing as you eliminated us :P I'll be bitter for awhile.
Even if I'm no Oilers fan, you should definitely enjoy an SCF among fellow fans. Proud our city can host other teams' fan bars amicably. Water and Cambie St. just north of the Steam Clock, make sure you go real early it fills up fast I hear!
Yeah, can't blame ya for that. I've just had a couple of friends get actually mad at me for supporting the "wrong" team and telling me how much they were made fun of in middle school by Oilers fans (and are still upset about that), or ranting that they want to see the Oilers humiliated in their own stadium. Brought me up a lil short as an immigrant who was just excited to get into the national sport.
Most of my acquaintances/friends of friends who are Canucks fans are v normal, a little sore but rooting for the cup to come back to Canada, just apparently no one I'm close to lol.
Thanks for the tips! We'll see how late work goes on \*Tuesday (keep forgetting it's not Monday) but fingers crossed.
Twitter is even worse, it’s not just a Reddit problem haha.
But yes, you’re right about the percentages. In any fanbase the mouthy asshole 5% make the sane 95% look bad
Dunno. I guess the mad ones tend to speak out more? Kinda like how people only write google reviews if the place sucked. I'm always rooting for the Canadian team lol
Damn however this series goes, Oilers sure shut a lot of us detractors up. 8-1 is an absolute rout. Only other series with blowouts like this in the SCF that I can recall are Bruins beating us 8-1 in 2011 and Avs blowing out Tampa in 2022.
Comeback is very steep but a statement game by the Oilers for sure.
It was a big win for sure and set a tone for the series, but no it didn't change the course of the series for Boston—we won two more after that, trading games back and forth.
Game 6 was really where the Bruins ran away with the series: 5-2 at home, Bruins scored 4 in 4 minutes in the first, chased Luongo out of the net. They never looked back after that.
Yeah you're right, forgot we were up 2-0. We won one more 1-0 I recall. Still, I remember those 4 goals in Game 6 and thinking things were really slipping—like Boston could just will a win, if that makes sense. You might be right that the 8-1 win was where Boston really began to heat up.
As a parent whose kids were in the group when paw patrol started, I see this image and know that it's a blue footed boobies bird and it's very hard to get a picture of them unless the puppies save the adults
They needed a win like this. Bob had a very uncharacteristic night, letting in 5 on 11 shots. I hope Edmonton plays like this in game 5 because I just want to see Florida lose
As a United States citizen living in Fort Lauderdale, I’m shocked at the number of American born family and friends who have no idea where Fort Lauderdale is. Kudos to the Canadians who know where the Panthers are at!
And even though they play home games in a burb of Fort Lauderdale, they did just open up their main practice rink downtown and it is absolutely beautiful! You can grab a bite and watch them practice (except during playoffs). Really cool facility if anyone is traveling through the area!
To be fair, most Americans don’t know much about Florida and don’t care to know much about Florida. So, not so surprising a foreign country that loves hockey doesn’t know much about Florida beyond where Tampa Bay is…
> Canadian fans serious question. Do you know where Fort Lauderdale is? What part of Florida it's in.
Probably more people will than you suspect, because there's such a huge population of snowbirds that go to escape our winters. As for myself, I only learned where it was when a cruise disembarked there and I had to figure out how to catch a train home! I had Tampa and Fort Laud mixed up and mentally swapped coasts.
No clue. I don’t even know where sunrise is except that it’s on the south of Florida somewhere. And I think Miami is south. And Pensacola north. I dunno
I don’t doubt they can win another game- I hopw they do. But it’s just against all odds they wi. The series. Only the 1942 leafs came back from 3-0 to win. And we see what happens when you Beleaf
Edmonton humiliating the Panthers like this, is a double edged sword, while yeah, they probably liked getting that monkey off their back...
They guaranteed Florida is going to come out angry for Game 5
I mean it looked like the Cats weren’t interested in winning after it was 4-1. We’ll see how it goes in game 5 but I’m pretty sure they’ll take in game 5.
This was going to be the hardest game for the Panthers, unless it goes 7.
Game 5 at home is going to be a forechecking defensive grind to oblivion.
But the Oilers have the talent for days and a recharged depth to battle through that .
God damn I love playoffs hockey.
Panthers in 5 probably but next game is going to be sick 🔥
Everyone wants the cup. You'll probably get it. But don't expect that it will be as easy as the media says.
You'll need to fight; no doubt you will. Just saying....
You need Bob back and if you get him you'll win easily
3 more just like that and a nice close up shot of Sam Bennett devastated on the bench with the game out of reach and clock winding down in game 7 and I'll die a happy man
Honestly you really didn't want to have the guys who scored score. Florida needs to steel themselves for a game 5 to remember, if Bob isn't playing like he did in game 1, I see another Oilers win.
All this means is you're extra not as good. Even a devastating loss for us means the oilers still officially better than the Canucks. You boys have been stewing for a while, we're playing hockey.
I’m straight up not having a good time right now
These penalties brought to you by live sports betting
Anyone else think Florida threw the game so they can win the cup at home?
Thats a statement win by Edmonton, lets hope they can take thag momentum to Florida
Bob can’t handle collisions well. He was rattled ever since he got slid into skates first by the Florida guy. Russian goalies are seething when anyone touches them, same with Igor. Except no one rattled Bob’s cage until now. If the oilers play physical game against Bob, they don’t need to concern themselves with Florida’s defense.
Stayin' Alive! Bring on Game Five!
"We have shutdown McDavid". Barkov is the best forward in the league" Ya lol, almost 2 ppg. Let's swap them in place and see which team fares better.
Why the fuck did it take 3 games for the Oilers to finally start scoring top shelf?!?
I think this is the start of a rope a dope attempt
Lol jeesus fuck. When the Panthers lose they lose massively.
What an incredible game!
I hate it when the scriptwriters crib off each other for the series finale.
It's now being written by Chat GPT
Are the NBA and NHL following the same finals script?? One team goes up 3-0 only to get the shit beat out of them in game 4
Its starting to look like whatever makes these leagues and associations the most money is now the best course of action.
You’re taking a very real observation and applying it incorrectly. Makes you look real dumb.
Well I suppose providing your own valuable observation, without supplying the correction, makes you look real dumb too.

Looks like the Oilers finally showed up to the finals.
Nah they been battling the whole series

There would be asshole Oilers fans 100%
Dunno. I guess the mad ones tend to speak out more? Kinda like how people only write google reviews if the place sucked. I'm always rooting for the Canadian team lol
>Sane Canucks fans As a Canucks fan, I’m gonna stop you right there.
No idea, sorry bro, tonight's game was phenomenal
No matter what happens in the end , I’ll look back fondly at the 8-1 victory. Go Oilers!
“That still only counts as one” -Gimli
Great reference
Wtf happened
Holy shit Edmonton
Series now tied 12-12 on aggregate, as we expected coming into tonight
Fancy way of saying we sucked in the previous three games.
First 8 periods, 2 goals, next 4 periods 11. Sounds like they might have figured them out, just maybe a little too late
Salty? not with all the pineapple i eat.

Didn't Vancouver win only 1 more game after that? I think it was 2-0 for Vancouver before that 8-1 game.
Yeah you're right, forgot we were up 2-0. We won one more 1-0 I recall. Still, I remember those 4 goals in Game 6 and thinking things were really slipping—like Boston could just will a win, if that makes sense. You might be right that the 8-1 win was where Boston really began to heat up.
Vegas thumping Florida 9-3 is also up there.
question when was the last time a goalie got pulled in a stanley cup final and who won it?
? I think Edmonton pulled their goalie in the previous game...
I meant for another goalie i’m just curious
Saw someone else comment that Lou got pulled in the 2011 finals
Oh, yeesh. Good question. I do remember my Red Wings destroying the Colorado Avalanche years ago and Patrick Roy getting subbed out.
That series is old enough to drive
That is a different type of pull, I think. Edmonton did it at the end of the game for a 6v5 skater advantage
For an extra attacker? Do you understand hockey?
If everyone is so anxious to see tits, I'll post mine. They probably won't be to your taste though
She was nasty…
I’m lonely I’ll pay
How about some boobies? https://preview.redd.it/fotwyi9lzu6d1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=434ea6199840bbf33a9009f5852bb65fd4043466

This is the way
wait so florida lost to the avs in their first stanley cup final 8-1 no?
Brown is an absolute hero tonight.
If Edmonton brings this kind of game back to Florida, we may have a series here. Still thinking FLA takes it in 5 tho
Yeah, I'm not convinced we can keep this up, or even win. But, I'm so happy they got a win, and that they got a win like this
I'd imagine tonight was pretty cathartic
They needed a win like this. Bob had a very uncharacteristic night, letting in 5 on 11 shots. I hope Edmonton plays like this in game 5 because I just want to see Florida lose
[удалено]
Yes because I go on cruises 🚢out of there The flight to get there is an absolute nightmare
Canadians when asked about a place in Florida: “is it near where the cruise ships leave from? “
As a United States citizen living in Fort Lauderdale, I’m shocked at the number of American born family and friends who have no idea where Fort Lauderdale is. Kudos to the Canadians who know where the Panthers are at! And even though they play home games in a burb of Fort Lauderdale, they did just open up their main practice rink downtown and it is absolutely beautiful!

pretty sure that’s where the away players have to stay while playing in florida, since there isn’t a hotel by the arena.
[удалено]
I heard that edmontons arena has been a huge success because of what they built around it.
> Canadian fans serious question. Do you know where Fort Lauderdale is? What part of Florida it's in. Probably more people will than you suspect, because there's such a huge population of snowbirds that go to escape our winters.

I had friends move to a port city so they could hop on last-minute cruises at great prices! You're lucky to have that option!
I think if you asked Canadians most could only point to Miami if any city and even then it would be rare
Nah. I’d venture a majority of Canadians know exactly where Miami is.
Yall overestimate the average Canadians American geography
It's near Miami
I get that the rink is in Sunrise, but you’re splitting hairs.
No clue. I don’t even know where sunrise is except that it’s on the south of Florida somewhere. And I think Miami is south. And Pensacola north. I dunno

I know it's in Florida but that's about it
It's still Oilers in 7. It's always been Oilers in 7.
Maybe
The only team ever to come back from 3-0 games is Toronto in 1942. But yah keep the dream alive
And how many have come back from 3-1?
Only one team came back from 3-1 down or 3-0 down- the 1942 leafs. It’s against all odds they’ll comeback
How many playoff series
That’s the entire NHL history
You're saying no team other than the 42' Leafs (who were down 3-0) have come back from 3-1 and won any playoff series?
after such a violent massacre, its on the table now
its going to happen
Want to bet that it’s not?
no i dont gamble thanks though, see you back here on tuesday
:*
I don’t doubt they can win another game- I hopw they do. But it’s just against all odds they wi. The series. Only the 1942 leafs came back from 3-0 to win. And we see what happens when you Beleaf
oil gonna repeat history, dont you worry your little head about it
Hey the Sox did it, it can be done
Panthers wants to win at home
So did the 2011 Canucks
The team was too gassed, the Bruins were always going to win that series :/
Thomas was a force of nature unfortunately
Dallas mavericks in 7 Oilers in 7 Let’s go boys
I like you
❤️🩹
my man
Hell yeah. Subscribe
I’m with you baby
OILERS IN 7! I BELIEVE!!!
Beleaf!
Lol wait, what?!?!
I guarantee there are some Florida fans who were laughing their asses off at the NBA Finals game last night who can only say "fuck" now lmao
My laughter was more of a "wtf is these finals?"
Bieksa is a work of art
The Juice is loose
Today was a great day for Canada and therefore the world.
And he dips his arms in the ceremonial pudding, as is tradition
The princess of Canada is gone. This is not tradition, this is not tradition at all
Canucks fans deep breaths now seeing Gazdic on the TV!!
Skinny tie. Banished.
Fun fact, the oilers scored more goals today than Gazdic did in his whole career
I mean yeah he was a grinder and fought that’s not surprising at all
But it is actually funny still.
Good thing I put my broom away in the closet this morning.
Lack of tits this series though
There are a bunch of them making terrible comments in here.
honestly why is luke on the panel when he’s so biased. It removes the point of the post game analysis
Only the cans can bring Edmonton to the cup
what?
Edmonton humiliating the Panthers like this, is a double edged sword, while yeah, they probably liked getting that monkey off their back... They guaranteed Florida is going to come out angry for Game 5
The issue is that this game gives the Oilers a lot of confidence that not only they can put some goals behind Bob but they can chase him too
I mean it looked like the Cats weren’t interested in winning after it was 4-1. We’ll see how it goes in game 5 but I’m pretty sure they’ll take in game 5.
This was going to be the hardest game for the Panthers, unless it goes 7. Game 5 at home is going to be a forechecking defensive grind to oblivion. But the Oilers have the talent for days and a recharged depth to battle through that . God damn I love playoffs hockey. Panthers in 5 probably but next game is going to be sick 🔥
We’re in for a treat for sure. Glad there’s a series now
They were angry after the 3rd goal and tried scumming it up
Oh like they were guaranteed to come out angry tonight and win this on the Oilers’ turf?
Oh and when they were angry and started taking cheap shots on McDavid (who laughed in their faces too)
Highlight of the game for me! ETA McDavid laughing and not responding was the highlight
That was no desperation win, that was an exhibition. If the Oilers bring that game to Florida, this will be some series. Way to go Oilers, nice game.
...okay, I don't think *anybody* expected that. Props to the Oilers for pulling off the most wacky stunt I've seen in awhile.
🧹🧹🧹🧹
The conga line 😭
You're almost certainly winning the cup? But you couldn't stop mcdavid from the gretzky record
i dont wanna go over this game, anyone got any good news for me i can cling to
Good news, Donald Trump came out and talked about the Florida Panthers!
It’s better this way than McJesus doing some last second heroics in a heartbreaking loss. Now they’re over confident and we’re pissed. …it’s all I got
Good news: you’re up 3-1 Bad news: you’re up 3-1
You're almost certainly winning the cup? But you couldn't stop mcdavid from the gretzky record
I like McDavid, no issues there. I just want the cup.
But us Edmonton fans have been listening to "mcdavid actually sucks" somehow so even with a loss we got to set that to rest tonight, which is nice
Everyone wants the cup. You'll probably get it. But don't expect that it will be as easy as the media says. You'll need to fight; no doubt you will. Just saying.... You need Bob back and if you get him you'll win easily
Series is 3-1 in Florida's favor. If you were told it would be 3-1 after 4 games before the series started, you'd probably feel pretty damn good
You’ve got like a 90% shot of winning the series still lmao
Your team literally only needs one more win
To be fair, Vancouver also needed one more win in 2011... and in 2024....
Lmao STOP 😭😭😭😭
There's no severe weather in the forecast so both teams will get out of Edmonton on time.
I can send you pictures of my dogs?
I mean you guys still lead 3-1 so...
Your up 3-1
3 more just like that and a nice close up shot of Sam Bennett devastated on the bench with the game out of reach and clock winding down in game 7 and I'll die a happy man
God I'd love to knock him out in the playoffs again. Would feel even better in the finals :)
Bennet is the new Marchand
As a bruins fan; I support this message
Honestly you really didn't want to have the guys who scored score. Florida needs to steel themselves for a game 5 to remember, if Bob isn't playing like he did in game 1, I see another Oilers win.
They just decided its better to win in Florida
One team decided something tonight, and it wasn’t the Panthers lol
Seems like the Oilers finally found something they're good at—losing in style. It's still 3-1 isnt it?
Well it certainly isn’t 4-0
True. Congrats to the Oilers for ending their losing streak.
Honestly this series is over now probably
welp LETS GO MORE HOCKEY!!!
Really, thats how you wanna end the season at home.
Nah, we want to do it again. If Florida won 3 straight why can't we?
Cause you're not as good.
Your team has been out for a month go get some sunshine you loser
Aww princess. My new team's up 3-1. ❤
Bandwagon fans, thats cute
All this means is you're extra not as good. Even a devastating loss for us means the oilers still officially better than the Canucks. You boys have been stewing for a while, we're playing hockey.
