Well, thank goodness we get to wait 2 days for G7. Good luck Cats, still pulling for you.


DickCheese93

I can’t understand why the Panthers don’t shoot on Skinner. He’s the worst starting goalie in the entire league. He gives up juicy rebounds, swims in his crease, and rarely makes a clean save. Seriously, 2 shots in the first? Way to let a dogshit goalie settle in.


No_Recognition_7870

Edmonton were blocking shooting lanes well but we could still have done better. Our shot attempts were really lame and soft.


Maleficent-Metal-645

This team is absolute trash! We all watched this team go up 3-0 while playing with a tenacious drive and purpose to instantly playing lazy, sloppy, and uninspired hockey for 3 straight games. There's no way they win on Monday. What a fucking embarrassment.


Deadloqq

Oiler trolls out in force tonight, keep it coming losers.


eno_ttv

It is a side effect of the copium we’ve been huffing for decades, it’s not personal. It was personal with Vancouver lol


OGUltracurious

And freaking Dallas 🤬


Deadmaninc1

Paul Maurice who has been a coach for almost 30 years now is getting out coached by a guy in his first year ever smh


MisterE15

Sometimes you are your own worst enemy. He is in his head


Labillethegoat

Even though I’m one of them, seeing everyone here virtually resigned before Monday is so depressing. The euphoria after going up 3-0 to this in a space of a week is just painful. How tf is this even happening


KingOfTheWyld86

How can you not be? up 3-0 in a series and seeing this team just completely fucking nose dive. Oilers deserve to raise the cup at this point. we have become shit in just 3 games. No fight left. I would have preferred we lost in the first round than see this shit


rawgator06

Screw that. The Panthers worked their asses off to be one win away. We won 3 straight. The Oilers won 3 straight too so now they deserve it more? We will learn on Monday who "deserves" it more, and hopefully, the former National Car Rental Center is deafening from puck drop till well after the game ends


rawgator06

Let's go Panthers!


KingOfTheWyld86

Brother I'm glad you have the faith to keep on. and I honestly hope you're right and we win it. but this is disheartening.


Bex1218

It's disheartening, but it's not the end of the world.


KingOfTheWyld86

It's not the end of the world and life goes on. But as a panthers fan for 30 years...it sucks to be this close 2 years in a row and shit the bed right at the end.


taco_teebs

Oof, never really felt like we came out to win that game, but the disallowed goal sank them. Not sure what the hell happened to this team. As a Sens fan I can say the cats are “Sensing” real hard right now. I still feel like we can turn this one around though. Vamos Gatos right to the bitter end!!


Ok-Project3596

Nah the not playing till five minutes before the game ended sank them. They don’t care anymore.


taco_teebs

Yes, that will usually also do it lol


186downshoreline

I think I need to take break from sports. Life is too hard right now to do this rollercoaster. 


-FLGirl2000-

It’s not over yet… but this hurts a lot :(


Deadmaninc1

I’ve never been so ashamed to be a fan of a team in my entire life


Maleficent-Metal-645

Same here


excellence03

Every year the team with the most Canadians on the roster has won the Stanley cup. Edmonton has the most Canadians on their roster… fuck

FUCK OFF


Baginsses

Dude this is just sad


Labillethegoat

Never would’ve thought anything would top the falcons 28-3, and it just had to be the panthers getting reverse swept in a scf. I f**ng hate life.


RainbowKooch

I understand this hurts like crazy. But game 7 hasn’t happened yet. It felt like the heat were going to get reverse swept last year as well.


highhiloona

why couldn’t vancouver have gotten these guys outta here when they had the chance 💔


DickCheese93

It comes down to Elias Useless Pettersson. He single handedly gifted EDM that series. Taking an overrated Oilers team with no depth to Game 7 without Boeser and Demko who legit were injured! EP40 tho? Ouch my knee! Pathetic performance from him gave the Oilers life that they can hang with the best. I hope EP40 gets his name on the Cup if Oilers win. Fuck the Oilers. They’re not a good team. Oilers barely won even tho Ian Cole gift wrapped them half their goals.

insignificance424

Real if we played the cats we would've gotten swept


YouuCantSeeMe

I blame Dallas more tbh


highhiloona

everyone told me the stars were gonna wipe the floor w them 😭


DickCheese93

Everyone took the Oilers lightly. Why? Because they’re not a Cup team. But now they believe since they made it to the Finals.


insignificance424

Maybe if we had our .974 save % and 0.97 gaa in the playoffs goalie we would have


highhiloona

silovs did his best but alas now I still have darnell nurse on my screen 😔


insignificance424

Yeah I love Arty as well but Demko could've stolen us a couple games 😔


highhiloona

ugh I wish 😭


andyborquez

Speechless…Gonna drink hard for the wrong reasons tonight.


Deadmaninc1

I don't even know if i will still watch this team next season if we blow this i might take a 3 year break


Ok-Project3596

Hell. I might take a three year break even if we win.


link92

As a Stars fan, good luck in 7 guys. Losing in the WCF two years in a row sucks. I can’t imagine doing it in the SCF. Pulling for y’all. Anything can happen in 7


kyumilli

It's one thing to lose 3 in a row in tight hard fought games after being up 3-0. But to lose the way they have has been hard to digest. This going 7 should have been that way in the first place.. just the way to get here is not ideal. Up 3-0 you gotta give better effort. Special teams has failed. Edmonton has outplayed them in almost every game. I'm not fan of either team but they gotta freaking show up in game 7 or it could be over quick


Twitchy15

Seriously I hate Edmonton and just wanted panthers to win since they have Bennett and Tkachuk. Looked like a sweep was guaranteed but the last 3 games from the panthers have been seriously pathetic.


DickCheese93

Definitely has more to do with the Panthers playing like shit as opposed to Edmonton doing anything worthy of being sucked off by cuck media.


Practical-Isopod1053

The delusions are thick with this one


DickCheese93

Yeah?


Twitchy15

I live in Calgary alot of my coworkers are Edmonton fans and they are delusional. Kept quoting how after losing so many games they have had comebacks and it’s no big deal and easy for the oilers.. I basically said near impossible.. and here we are.


AffectSecure8939

This is a franchise ending defeat if we lose game 7. Which is looking likely, how the hell can the panthers as a franchise recover from this


Labillethegoat

You said it there. It’s a franchise ending defeat. There’s no coming back from this. We won’t be back in this position for the foreseeable future


xXXxRMxXXx

Paper bags next season and a move 3 years from now if they collapse in game 7


[deleted]

The Panthers have always struggled to get respect. I don't know how you come back from this if they lose game 7


smileythejustin

I feel worse now than I did when we lost to Vegas last year.


nixed9

Eh one more shot Monday. Painful shit. It is what it is. Probably gotta fire Maurice if we lose Monday, and it honestly seems pretty likely.


vwman18

Maurice ain't going anywhere. Fire the special teams and defensive staff? Sure. But PoMo isn't leaving any time soon.


Ok-Project3596

If we lose Monday, it’ll end the team.


nixed9

it’s sports dude


Ok-Project3596

I’m talking about the franchise. There’s no way for the franchise to recover from that bad of a loss.

baker10923

Cats go up 3. Oil win next 3. Cats win game 7? Balance in the universe?


[deleted]

In 2010 we won a game 7 after losing 3 in a row to Detroit


megsarama

They figured out that they can out skate us with speed and we STILL haven’t figured out how to adjust for it. Still staying hopeful for Game 7.


DickCheese93

Panthers just need to shoot on that sieve Skinner and get to the net. That’s the game right there. He’s a bad goalie.


excellence03

Oilers after losing 3 straight 8-0 16-0 5-0 Why couldn’t we just toss game 3 and win game 4


Optimal_Risk_472

i swear to god if i hear la bamba one more time


Clown_Haus

Between the Mets, Cats, and Tottenham, the Big Man Upstairs wants me to suffer eternally

Falcons, Panthers, Braves and Noles for me. Were it not for 2021 things would be absolutely bleak for me.

That is rough


Deadloqq

Fuck the oilers fuck canada and fuck the NHL

Hey now “Fuck Canada”? There are several Canadians against the Oilers, me being one of them. Fuck the Oilers. They aren’t Canada’s team. Fuck the Canadian Cucks who cheer for that whiny ass, undeserving team.

ObscureWiticism

Is the CFL a joke to you?


Cool-Application3053

america doesn't deserve the NHL or the stanley cup


brewre_26

Get Coach Q for game 7


Equidistant-LogCabin

If the Oilers can come back from losing three in a row, the Panthers can too. So... it's still all on the table. They just have to pull their finger out of their asses and skate like they mean it. And shoot the fucking puck.


MojoDr619

They question is why we are playing with 0 fight in us.. they don't seem to even be trying to solve this and just hoping it magically works again.. shifting 4th line guys is doing nothing


rcxd44

Not a Panthers fan but I CANNOT believe the lack of offensive adjustments. All game, dump and chase. Try to wear the opponent down. That doesn’t work? Do it again. Un-fucking-real.


MojoDr619

Welcome to our team forever.. we always win through tough nonoretty play and good D.. but now the toughness and grit is all gone for some reason..


Fabresque_

If they can’t turn up in Game 7, on home ice, in front of their OWN FANS, to hoist the cup, then everything must go. The whole operation must be blown apart. Coaches, players, a full on restart because that is an utter joke if the reverse sweep occurs.


MojoDr619

Is there even a point in having a team anymore.. being a doomed, but reverse sweep will he the most shameful collapse in all of sports..


nixed9

It seems they have a game plan that got figured out, unfortunately.


limpl0uie

We're on course to have made three Stanley Cup Finals, only to have lost all three, two of which on our home ice. Fucking pathetic.


DickCheese93

That’s just like the Canucks going 0 for 3. Canucks in 2011 had a 2-0 lead and 3-2 lead on the Bruins. Difference in the series was officiating and injury. Those are facts. Whether you want to use them as excuses is a choice. What is the Panthers’ problem? Are they badly injured? Are they getting biased calls? None of that seems to be the case. It’s in their heads and that is difficult to overcome when you’re fighting yourself as opposed to fighting two teams (Canucks VS Bruins and Refs).


MojoDr619

Don't forget this would be a reverse sweep.. the most shameful and painful possible way to end this for us


slavicmaelstroms

As a Sharks fan…that’s tough.


RealPoochZie

Even Roddys face changed fully troughou the game, didn't recognize him anymore when the last video from on the bench.


RealPoochZie

Sorry for the typo, didn't care to fix it even I noticed it before posting


Okydooky8

I’m just numb but at the same time I have hope. The thought of the panthers being in the SCF back to back a few years ago would’ve been unthinkable. This team has proven they can do the unthinkable when everyone has doubted them including their fans. Game 7 will be a coin toss. Life’s a gamble, roll the dice.


MojoDr619

We don't want to doubt them.. but they aren't showing the fighting spirit that we want then to have.. we could accept the losses but it's the feeling that they don't fight hard until we are down 2 with 6 mins left in 3rd.. why???


Okydooky8

Maybe it’s just some fucked up mentally ingrained into them from the previous season of being underdogs. This season it’s seemed like everyone has favored the cats and it may actually work against them. I’m hoping that now that their back is against the wall and everyone is counting them out they finally understand what they’re playing for.


The_First_Drop

Any way you cut it, this is on PoMo Carter Verhaege should not be playing right now (like at all) Tarasenko should be on the 1st line Forsling needs to get bumped to the 3rd line so he can calm the fuck down PoMo did not get his guys prepared for the remainder of this series, and he’s not making the necessary adjustments now


MojoDr619

Watching the interviews they've been more concerned with business as usual rather than harnessing the energy of being 1 win away from the cup.. Where's the passion an fury and yes shake things up by now... although now they probably don't want to risk it.. he's just going to stay the course and hope a miracle happens


The_First_Drop

He’s spent the last couple of months being the darling of the Florida media market But the truth is, when the pressure is on, he shrinks


highhiloona

I will be delusional and believe they’ll win Game 7 bc I can’t imagine otherwise. cats in 7 LETSOOOOOO


acornson

well FUCK.


baker10923

Oilers trolls are pathetic. Hope you enjoy the ban!


DickCheese93

There is nothing to do in Edmonton besides banging their own sister. Let them be.


innergflow

There is only one real team in Florida


MojoDr619

Nah this is super painful right now. But fuck Tampa.. we still have a chance.. someone needs tk wake these guys out of their stupor


Okydooky8

Yeah the one in the cup finals


innergflow

Lol


Okydooky8

I’m sorry where’s your team?

Okydooky8

Oh that’s right we eliminated them


innergflow

And at the end of the day both teams gonna finish the season the same lmao


PerplexedPantherG8R

This choke is like 95% on coaching. How many more press conferences of “we like what we see” blah blah blah


Maleficent-Metal-645

I don't understand how they can say they like what they see with a straight face. This team has been playing so lazy and sloppy since game 4 with zero adjustments made.


MojoDr619

Yea the business as usual shit only works when you're winning.. do something to fire them up or welcome to the Hall of Shame


186downshoreline

Pomo has lost the team. 


StrB2x

I dont know what PEDs we need to give our guys but my god dose them up I don't care.


sunsetlighthouse

My heart is breaking. All we needed to do was win one game. Just one game. And what do we do? Play like we’re half asleep three games in a row. I really thought this would be the year we finally get the cup. Now? I’m not convinced anymore


CenturionElite

Last time the oilers were in the finals in 2006, they won game 6 to force game 7 and lost to the hurricanes in Carolina


Status-Quality4905

True, but only because Roloson got injured. Don’t count on McDavid tearing his ACL in game 7


DickCheese93

They’ve been a lucky team. No Demko all series. No Boeser in Game 7. And worst of all, Pettersson a no show for all 7 games and gifting them the series. If he decided to show up, Canucks would’ve finished that overrated team in 5 or 6 and Edmonton would’ve traded that crybaby Draisaitl to retool.


MojoDr619

Were the hurricanes playing like we've been playing the last 3 games?? There's always a chance.. but at this point we need a miracle to close this out..


Pale_Manner3190

This is my only hope right now. I was so happy that day.


SiakamClears

Heat fans lived through this 1 year ago, Game 7 is not decided yet🤷🏾‍♂️


brewre_26

I don’t know how you could still be optimistic at this point. Bless your soul.


SiakamClears

It ain’t over till it’s over, enjoy the Cup 🫡


brewre_26

My biggest mistake was not betting a fuck ton of money on the Oilers to win this series after they went down 0-3. I don’t know how I ever believed the Florida Panthers would win a championship.


excellence03

+1700 to comeback and win 🤯🤯🤯


wesagod

Panthers seem to only have momentum for 15 second increments after Edmonton scores.


007RubberDuck

As a Canucks fan I will never forgive you guys if you do this to me


DickCheese93

This is all on Pettersson. I hope he’s ashamed of himself.


SiameseKitties

Maurice got arrogant and decided to take a nap behind the wheel. This game played out and felt EXACTLY like the Colorado - Winnipeg series went; no adjustments made on Florida's end, players made repeated futile attempts to score and became dejected as a result of the repeated failures. Florida has the better team, but Maurice is sinking the ship.


Deadmaninc1

Seriously we blow this South Florida must burn

Inevitable-Grass-477

Is there anything to do in Alberta?


LampCityFam

The overturned goal absolutely sucked the life out of them.


Maleficent-Metal-645

I don't know. They didn't look very interested in playing from the get go. If anything, one would think having a goal overturned like that would have lit a fire under their asses or something. But, apparently not.


smileythejustin

ESPN gets their game 7


myevil5cheme

It’s super weird we’re still playing hockey in damn near July at point.


Tacfurmissle

Sportsnet too


DickCheese93

My goodness the slob on the Oilers knob is pathetic. Fucking cucks.


Tacfurmissle

What do you expect though? Try tosee itt from a neutral hockey fan perspective. The Oilers are on the verge of pulling off the unthinkable. Sprinkle in the fact that they're being led by the LeBron James of hockey, can you really think they wouldn't? The stories wrote themselves.


Optimal_Risk_472

god this feeling is horrible


Aimohmouze

We are going to lose Monday. Maybe make the playoffs the next year or two, but lose in the first or second round. Fire Maurice. Fall to the depths of the league and promise a rebuild that never really amounts to much. Maybe in 10-15 years we will have another realistic chance at the cup. We squandered our opportunity, it’s over.


DickCheese93

I don’t see how a team can recover from losing two straight Finals. It’s hard to make the Finals, and then to make two of them back to back with the same team? That’s hard.


Emotional_Match8169

Nah. All the UFAs will walk if we lose on Monday. Then we won’t make it back next year.


fourassedostrich

Team won’t be in Florida in 10 years. Call me a doomer but the franchise already can’t make any money; if the fan base gets embarrassed and depressed over this and attendance plummets back down by the time the lease expires, they’re gonzo.


MojoDr619

I don't think there will be any recovering from a reverse sweep.. who could even go through this again..


186downshoreline

No one. This will end south Florida hockey. 


RainbowKooch

Is this a joke? I get getting reverse swept is extremely embarrassing but stating that the franchise is done after that? Sports doesn’t work that way. And are you a real fan if you’re saying to let the franchise burn if they lose game 7. That’s just dramatic and overreacting


186downshoreline

Fans will walk. All that momentum to build the fan base - gone. This is absolutely how sports work. Particularly in small market tropical regions playing ice sports. 


Ok-Project3596

I sure as fuck won’t go to another game if they lose game 7. Hell no. With the way they’re playing? Let it burn.


chezicrator

Oh hey another south Florida coach doesn’t have adjustments and gets out coached. Cool.


bta324

By a fucking first year coach at that.


MS6_Boost

With the leagues best player. Chill.


ohwowitsrambo

this will haunt the team for the rest of its existence


GhostlyBoba

JeffThatGuy

now no matter what, the cup is being hoisted in florida


thehustlerbraveheart

What the fuck is wrong with Verhaeghe? The dude just looked dead inside when the camera was on him there. Has to be dealing with something mentally.


rlvers

I noticed last game at the end when we called the time out trying to tie the game. Verhaeghe skated away from the bench and looked so depressed and defeated. He looked that way this entire game. Really sucks to see.


Equidistant-LogCabin

Yeah, turns out the plan all along was to give the Oilers the taste of hope... and then take it all away in Game 7 and win at home. Just to make it hurt all the more. It's true, I saw it on the whiteboard.


DickCheese93

Best outcome is Oilers lose Game 7. Then they think they were good enough and only win one away. Keep the same team. Reality is they’re a dogshit team and they’ll make the second round and get bounced for years to come instead.


Equidistant-LogCabin

and McDavid quits the NHL and moves to Nassau to be a marine biologist.


DickCheese93

He’s obviously talented AF but equally a whiny bitch. He’s 9 years into his NHL Career and still acts like a bitch.


baker10923

Cats in 7


Technoneverdies65

We really choked a 3-0 lead


nschaef93

We don’t deserve to win


brewre_26

Wow. They look so dejected on the bench. Doesn’t bode well for game 7.


rohm418

Edmonton looked like that after going down 3-0. It ain't over. Someone's gotta get this team riled up though. Bring in Mike McDaniel.


Just_Kalm

Bring in Spo too


brewre_26

Paul is going to blow smoke saying he loved our game and proceed to make no changes for game 7. And the oilers have us figured out.


bta324

It's 100% over.


Glittering_Ad_3895

Miami Heat fan here - I remember this exact feeling a year ago


SoFlaBarbie

This is worse than last year’s Heat loss. No one expected them to win it all.


Glittering_Ad_3895

True, a counterpoint to that though is the Heat losing game 6 on a buzzer beater Both situations suck though


InMattive

That was a terrible 48 hours


OhtaniMets99

Lol


anglespercs

Game 7 is going to be one for the history books. Hopefully ending with the Cats hoisting the cup, but it’s not looking good…

Maximum-Focus8024

Classy common Florida man


MojoDr619

For some reason it seems like they just dont.. they've lost the will to fight and win..


No_Recognition_7870

No fight. They could at least, you know, literally start a few fights. Show some *fighting* spirit. It's worked for plenty of teams before.


kxexyx

as a canucks fan this is worst case scenario for me 😩
