I managed to stay awake for the end....barely...i was just barely hanging on.  I wasn't making it thru another intermission that's for sure.

Feel bad for the Cat who cleared it over the glass for a penalty inside the last two minutes which eventually resulted in the GWG.
and....the GWG a PPG:  Draisaitl from McDavid...who could have imagined?

Pretty good game.  I think FLA has a more complete playoff style team, but Oilers are definitely potent.  Oilers been weak in Net, but Skinner had a good 2nd half of the game, kept the Oilers in it.

Go Oilers.

Wednesday, June 4 at 8pm is game 1 in Edmonton.

I hate dragging it out a week to START the damn final.  I get it they are a great distance apart (the two teams farthest apart geographically, as well as the team farthest north and the team farthest south)

But FFS man, we got planes n shit.
It's a 45 hour drive by car 

Wednesday, June 4 at 8pm is game 1 in Edmonton.

I turned it off after the 1st period. Didn't feel like seeing Carolina extend it to game 6. Then saw the "highlights".. Dude, that play by Barkov, where he handles the puck behind the net, then dishes a sweet pass across the crease? We have nobody on the team or in the system who could do that.. Just impressive. Go Cats!!


And if Edmonton doesn't find elite goaltending fast, Florida will eat their lunch -and- take their money..   They may play static for lengths of time, but when they turn it on, it's on!

Florida is solid.  Great goaltending, elite players, solid on D, and.... BIG.
I'd like to see Edmonton win the Cup, but Hyman going out (shoulder surgery... I think) is a HUGE blow.  Also they are suspect in net so not sure they can handle Florida.  Edmonton has the most elite talent on the planet, but they are not as complete as Florida.

This assumes of course, Edmonton gets through Dallas.

Go Oilers
