I'm an oilers fan and I'm mega disappointed in the oilers play. Worst game they played this playoffs. I would also like to see Draisaitl suspended. He's not trying to make a play with the puck (it was 2-1 and 5 min left so they still had a chance), instead he's trying to hurt Barkov and definitely throw the game away just because he's pissed. Embarrasing.
Draisaitl is a sore loser who gives up when he’s being outplayed. Can’t say I ever had any respect for the guy. Oilers would probably be better off not resigning him
@@JannickVerburgMcDavid and Leon look like lost children in this series lol it’s like now that they’re facing Florida’s gritty defense who’s shutting them down everywhere they don’t even know what to do. Leon was probably just upset Barkov is shutting his team down hard
Oilers finally playing a team that is actually fighting back through the dirty holds, interference, and sketchy hits. And the Panthers are better at it. E=NG
Oh, when it’s a Panther getting caught with a cheap shot, well, that’s not right. We already established in the second round that goalie interference and punching people in the face is perfectly legal. 😒
Love your content man. It teaches me to take a more analytical look at games. You have taught me quite a bit about hockey in general. Keep up the great work!
@@Justthatguy1998 I felt like Boston and New York would be more of a coin flip than Florida vs New York, but Boston’s Style of play is a water down version of Florida’s style. Plus Swayman and Shesterkin have been the top 2 goalies this postseason.
Barky did an interview last month and was asked who his favorite non-Panther player in the league was, and his answer was Leon Draisatl. Dude had so much respect for him and he catches him with a wildly dirty elbow to the jaw... what a garbage play.
It's not wild, it's rigged. All sports are rigged to make the most money possible and for the right people. When you see anything on T.V. that doesn't make sense, you are right, and for a good reason. Nothing on T.V. is real, it's fake news but entertaining and a huge distraction from big things happening somewhere else.
As much depth as the Panthers have, Barkov is so vital to the team. He’s been able to turn the opposing team’s superstars intro traffic cones. Made Panrarin & Zibanekad almost invisible last series against the Rangers, no points of McDavid or Drai PS: Drai should get a game for the flying elbow, specially if Barkov’s out for game 3
The Panthers bought into Paul Maurice's system...play sound defense and the offense will be there. The Panthers are like a 5-Man Defensive unit with more than capable offensive skills. It's incredible to watch
oiler fans have some reason to be that way, they played better in game 1 and still lost, not to mention canadien teams are never favoured over american in the playoffs. anyone could’ve saw it coming, i don’t think anyone would mind seeing florida get their first cup but to act like they aren’t just as dirty shows the lack of respect for a canadian team as usual

@@lup1up lol, im struggling to watch the ecup bc of my rangers, but the hockey fan in me is not surprised at what I'm seeing. i thought it was our year, but this panthers team is that damn good. best check since the late 90s early 00's devils IMO. they much up the ice like none other and barkov is a BEAST.
5:17 wtf was that from Bouchardpassing it straight to a wide open Panther??? 5:37 Skinners reaction says "nothing I could do"... he can only do so much with nonexistent defence
Hes the most inconsistent goalie in the entire League... i mean wake up... Skinny and Pickard... wtf is that... Desharnais at the blue... all AHL players... in the SC Finals... only cause of 2 guys... Connor and Leon... and dont talk about Ryan or Zach... without Connor and Leon they wouldnt reach these numbers in those past seasons...
Connor and Leon never had a team to compete for the Cup... they deserve better... That Oilers playoff run remind me a lot of the 2021 Habs run... "Fantasy" run ...
@@coreysghostglowmask8650 Yes, there are also too many inconsistent players on this team that are not trustworthy, I agree. And absolutely Skinner is inconsistent but not all of the blame falls solely on him with every goal. On the second goal he was screened/vision blocked by McLeod who usually does more harm than good to his team with very poor decision making. Either block the shot or don't screen your own goalie, the guy is softer than a wet noodle and is scared to touch anything. If there's a mistake, #71 is usually visible on the ice, and sadly Bouchard did not help Skinner at all during that game. Again, too many inconsistent players on this team who decide to show up or don't depending on the night. Lack of trust between teammates will weaken their game, FL alone edges them out on this aspect.
Every hockey channel a week ago - "The Oilers are on a mission" "McDavid is entering a new era" Annnnnd here we are now lol welcome back to planet earth, we missed you guys
When your down by a goal or more... pulling the goalie with 5min on the board... and keep sending the same 5 players on the ice over and over... shows how talented your team is...
Edmonton having no depth has been their absolute kryptonite for aeons now. The fact they sent out Cody Ceci and Darnell Nurse on a pair says it all, those dudes have been pylons these playoffs. Connor, Leon, Nuge, and Bouchard all have more points than any one given Panther, but if those guys arent scoring Edmonton flatout loses.
Knoblock just doesn't have the experience. We've all seen it, sending out winded players, pulling the goalie. That little dance with Skinner should I stay or should I go? Just doesn't have the timing down. But, he's a good coach. He's gonna improve, it's nice to see new blood behind the bench.
Great analysis, and it shows how often the Oilers have defensive breakdowns, which is something I've long said about the team. Oiler management seems to think they can have the one of the best offences in the league, but team defence is secondary. Due to no trade clauses, it's very difficult for them to trade for the shutdown d-men and defensive forwards the team desperately needs, they should be trying to draft them. Instead, management continues using 90% of their picks on forwards, obviously forgetting the old adage that defence wins championships.
As a fellow Avs fan, I am also cheering for the Panthers and I live in Edmonton. I love watching all the oilers fans cry. I noticed this morning going to work that there was a 90% reduction in oilers flags on cars. Kind of sad because it helps me spot shitty drivers
@@lookinforthe70s it's not very funny when you get somebody taken out like that huh and then they win and go on if Boston did that shit and won though I wouldn't care Ill be honest
@@Chavez_Soria That's the whole point of Brassard. That had nothing to do with the Bruins/Panthers game but since we're brining up random crap that has nothing to do with this situation, what the hell.
@@lookinforthe70s no look man ok the point is I hate Florida more than the fucking oilers and now Florida gets to get like these stupid calls because the poster kids and shit are on the oilers like what you going to say the refs didnt see Bennet so they didn't call it they didn't see mcdavid high stick Hughes either or like oh well Bennet it couldn't have been called because this didn't actually hit for it to be called well then oh drai didn't either because you know this and that so you know I just want to see both of them get their shit kicked in man
The NHL is practically tripping over themselves trying to get McJesus a cup, no way they suspend Drai for the next game. He better keep that head on a swivel cause I'm sure Florida is going to be hunting for him.
Draisaitl claims it was not intentional, but the guy leaves his feet, and throws the elbow. Knowing how that can hurt a player, either you are careless, or have intent. Have to wonder if the League reacts, or if this is now allowed in the Finals.
I'm afraid there arent any heads for the Panthers to find. The Oilers seem to be playing with their heads up their asses. Panthers will just focus on ripping the cup out of their hands.
I'll say up front that I'm an Oilers fan. But Florida really brought their game. They deserved the win. The frustration I have is the refs calling really soft penalties on both sides and then not calling really obvious ones. Draisaitl's hit was just nasty, but they weren't even going to call the obvious charge (he left his feet), until they saw Barkov down. btw, there was a similar charge from Florida that didn't get called, but there was no injury, so I guess charging is allowed as long as there's no harm done. I don't feel like the calls have been one-sided, just inconsistent. It makes it hard for the players to know how to play.
For those Oils fans who doubt... about the Cats forecheck... enjoy... and btw Nurse, Desharnais and Skinner... 2 ahl players and -7... 9Milli dman... i mean cmon you need more than McD and Leon to get, deserve or just think about the cup... thats a fact... that Oilers playoff run remind me a lot of the 2021 Habs playoff run... fantasy run...till they face the Bolts...
I mean, after game 2, I am pretty unbiased I think. EDM fans at the moment are clouded by anger that their team is down 2-0 so they attack panthers fans for "knowing nothing about hockey". They can't stand the fact that their golden boys, but mainly McDavid, has played 9 years now and hasn't got a single chip. As someone who was at all 3 of the Blackhawks' cups, let me explain that in the same 9 years span, Patrick Kane won 3 cups (from being drafted to the end of the 9 year stretch). Does this mean Kane is better than McDavid? Not at all. It means the Oilers are the most overrated team in modern NHL history and are not built to win cups clearly. They got away with some criminal series wins against better teams (Dallas) to even get to the cup. On the other hand, the panthers are a clearly playoff built team, and the Rangers were massive favorites entering the playoffs, but the Panthers put the beating on them enough to win the series. Something to note is that the big players of the Rangers didn't show up, and everyone was mystified. Suddenly the best duo in hockey in McDavid and Leon don't show up and people are still mystified. The panthers are built around countering star power. How did the oilers choose to respond to this in game 2? They played the dirtiest game of hockey I've seen in recent playoffs, and easily this season. The EDM fans then complain that FLA are a bunch of pro basketball players that take flops for penalties, even though EDM has had favorable calls in the past 2 games. The panthers played well last night compared to game 1, and it showed, even through that dirty hockey. Contrary to what the EDM fans will say, the Panthers are clearly the physically tougher team, as other than Barkov, the players who got hit hard and left the game actually returned to play. For game 3, I'd imagine the bad blood will continue to run over, especially if Barkov ends up hurt. Player safety has already reviewed the Draisaitl hit and determined no fine or suspension will be assessed. In fact the slash on Kulikov is the only fined play from game 2. In summary, and I remain unbiased, based on the hockey I watched from EDM in game 2, an Oiler could literally be beheaded and I would have no sympathy because they are bringing it on themselves with a lack of competitive integrity that is actually rare to see. I don't know how you can defend the behavior of what went on in game 2, but clearly if you think only the Panthers players deserve to get hurt while the Oilers just go unpunished, then it's time someone gets taken out HARD on the oilers so you can cry more.
If Barkov misses next game, and Drai gets away with it without suspension, I'm pretty sure Panthers will play the reverse card on him or on McD on the field
As an Oiler’s fan and someone who lived for many years in Edmonton and has been lucky enough to meet a couple of them, I was super disappointed in how the boys ended game 2. Game 1, they played pretty well honestly. The panthers were the aggressive ones making hits and playing kind of dirty in that one, but by the end of 2nd and the 3rd period of Game 2, Oilers were just losing all control of themselves and the game. And my guy Leon made an absolute fool of himself with that hit to Barkov. A full elbow straight to the head for no reason? Come on man. I really want them to win but it’s a tall order at this point. They gotta do something wildly different to handle Bobrovsky, and not make dumb mistakes like clumping together in defence and passing right in front of the net. I love them though, and if you’ve never lived in a hockey town like Edmonton, let me tell you, there’s a reason our fans go so hard! It’s a religion there. People live and breathe for each season, and the Oilers making it this far is amazing for ol E-town ❤❤
By attacking Barkov they now have to realize they just gave the Panthers a reason to absolutely destroy McDavid😂 ur gonna get what u ask for, im hoping nothing serious gonna happen to him
Half of Florida’s defense are new to the team this season and they’re all healthy this go around… not the same at all as last year. They definitely learned from last year’s run and it shows from their signings, depth, and play.
This dude really said, Draisaitl “took a healthy run at Barkov” 😂😂😂 Dude left his feet and elbowed Barkov in the face, eliminating him from the game. And why did he do it? Because he knows he can’t score against Barkov. What a trash can organization Edmonton is. Go Panthers.
This oilers team is the biggest hype job. Two god tier players, AHL level goaltending , a swiss cheese defence and non existent depth. It’s a testament to how garbage the west is that these guys got this far
well dallas, colorado, and vegas are all great, but one of those teams eliminated the other two and edmonton beat dallas with only power plays, so I'd say the majority of it was luck, and some of it was that the west isn't as good.
6:53 anyone peep this guy wearing a "Leafs suck" shirt to a Oilers Panthers stanley cup finals game. WHY CANT TORONTO JUST CATCH A BREAK , THIS IS WHY YOURE GONNA LOOSE EDMONTON
yeah thats what i was thinking, Floridas coach has way more experience and tactically now Florida has been better and we see Edmontom struggling in major key moments/missing cup winning players=resulting in the coach depening too much on the star players also struggle in defensive plays, that hit on Barkov and also other low hits is just pure frustration, thats when Florida made the right decision to stay calm...because Draisaitls only intention was to mess up their tactical game by injuring Barkov, but Florida and their coach keeped it cool. Next match will be interesting, also depending wether Barkov plays or not
I love how oilers fans are claiming florida is dirty, yet fogel tries to go knee on knee, draisaitl elbows to the head after leaving his feet, and that other oiler literally brought his stick up where the sun dont shine, all three are suspension worthy and should be acted on. 😂
Bennet laid a knee worse than Fogel but Bouchard didn't lay on the ice so....What about Ekblad's choke hold on Bouch also? I guess half the roster should be suspended eh?
@@paulg6274Bennett skated straight at him and kept his knees under himself. Foegle missed his hit and extended his knee outwards. Not even close to being the same. That wasn't a choke, he dragged him away from the scrum. Happens every game.. Its just that players usually push back. No dawg in that guy.
@@paulg6274btw those plays are as bad as getting hit from behind cause they easily can dislocate or hyperextend your leg especially from the angle he came from U didn’t see the other hit but let’s be honest both teams are playing dirty some more in times and some more in different times let’s just all accept that
Fogel actually played the puck (both players were playing it with their skates) and it wasn't actually knee on knee. Bennet's was a late hit. The nutshot was a retaliation for an uncalled Charge (about the same as Drai's hit on Barkov later). Bouchard taps a player in the corner (covered by 3 defenders) and gets called for a slash, but a stick in McD's hands on a breakaway goes uncalled. The officiating was definitely skewed.
I watch the ABC feed to avoid all the Oiler bias... City TV also carries ABC. Messier and PK Subban are on the panel. This game really showed the lack of Oiler depth that they were able to overcome in the first 3 series.
Fucking loved every minute of this game. I hope we get a full fledged, no glove, beatdown in game 3. Put an enforcer in there for Florida and just demoralize the Oilers. I was really happy to see the Panthers come out aggressive and control the ice from the jump. Game 1 turned my wife into a hockey fan, so I am glad I convinced her to watch it, she never watches sports with me. She almost bought me tickets to Game 2 in Sunrise, which would have been a great Father's Day gift! Sorry, tangent over.
@@jpintero6330 they've been doing this shit all season long. It's disgusting and it cheapens the game. Aside from that they're just so dominant. I hate them and it kills me to admit they're the best team by a mile in the league.
@@jpintero6330 To each their own. But I've no dog in this race and I watch a LOT of hockey games when my team isn't playing. I don't think they're embellishing. Hockey players in general don't embellish because they have a culture of "toughness" opposite of that of soccer. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but these playoff games are intense and these hits are hard and the pace is fast. I also don't think they'd risk missing any gametime just to chance a 2min PP, especially with refs throwing a ton of 2min unsportsmanlike for embellishment when guys are legit tripped or hit from behind this season. It's just not worth it. It's easy to call everyone soft when you're laying on your couch eating a bag of cheeto puffs
I just want mcdavid to pop off in one game, and no I don’t mean passes and assists but actual goals. At the moment Florida is shutting them down so hard and doing a great job to not open up any opportunities.
Dallas was a team I thought would beat Edmonton by playing just like this. You have to win 4 not 2. The Panthers still have to keep this level of play up or else the series could swing in a hurry.
Florida definitely looks like the team that's been here before. I may be cheering more for Florida, but I do hope Edmonton learns from these first 2 games and manages to push the series to 6 or 7. I just want more hockey and a competitive Final.
As an Oilers fan I would love to see them turn this series around. But after watching the Panthers dominate them in Game 2 and Bobrovsky rob them in game 1, I don't see how they are going to do it. Kane is so injured he can't even sit down on the bench. Perry can't keep up to the play. McDavid doesn't have the space to move. Skinner is playing his best but he's no Bobrovsky. Unless the Oilers coaching staff have a magic solution, I think the Oilers are done. But who knows, at the start of the season we didn't think they'd even make the Playoffs and then they went on a 16 game run. The thing about the Oilers is, they have the amazing ability to do the unexpected.
I wanted Vancouver or Dallas in the finals. Would have made a better Final, so that pisses me off. And then there's Leon, the pissy man himself. He really pissed me off, but the fact he only got 2 minutes for that chicken wing pisses me off even more. Wouldn't be the Stanley Cup Playoffs with out suspect officiating however. It's all par for the course. Go cats! Sincerely, not a panthers fan.
Honestly I just feel bad for Skinner. It's not his fault. Trying his best to keep oilers in it, but Bob is in a different league of goaltending and oil top stars getting frustrated
As a fan of neither of these teams, through this series, I went from NOT caring who won, to actively now rooting AGAINST Oilers 😂 Cats are slowly earning respected from me while Oilers have been consistently lowering my respect for them. Dirty plays, complaints, arrogance from the same fans that talked sh*t on Leafs fans, yet Leafs are no where near as dirty. LETS GO CATS! Make it an absolute SWEEP. 1 goal in 2 games, from the team with the most stacked 1st line and literally McJesus himself--one player vs a proper TEAM 😂GG
Draisaitl should have been given a one game suspension .Had it been a Canuck player leaving their feet and doing that to him, Canucks fans know what would have happened.
Longtime fan: the league needs to address intentional penalties resulting in injury and missed games. Otherwise, change the name to Rollerball and send out a 4th liner to throw a McFlying McElbow to McDoogle to even things up.
Super assessment of the game. Draisaitl "hit" deserved consideration for a major and definitely suspension. The knee on knee contact same thing. This shit has to be taken out of the game.
As a McJesus fanboy - Mr Holy and Mathews are the reason I started watching hockey after 15+ years of ignoring it, I get it. Unless the Oilers take the next two games (they have to, a split will not work) and solve Officer Bob, they are cooked, done, finished!. The only ray of light for McJesus fanboys (or is that fanbois) would be is that the Great 99, Crosby (and others) didn't win it their first time (unless your name is God/Brady of course). They sucked it up and got better. Mario 66 (and #8) spend years in team mediocre hell before he finally cracked it (against my MN Stars no less - boo!). In any case, I'm watching hockey again and that's something positive from this MN hockey native.

Not a real league. #4 (if that) and falling.
It's not wild, it's rigged. All sports are rigged to make the most money possible and for the right people. When you see anything on T.V. that doesn't make sense, you are right, and for a good reason. Nothing on T.V. is real, it's fake news but entertaining and a huge distraction from big things happening somewhere else.

As much depth as the Panthers have, Barkov is so vital to the team. He’s been able to turn the opposing team’s superstars intro traffic cones. Made Panrarin & Zibanekad almost invisible last series against the Rangers, no points of McDavid or Drai
PS: Drai should get a game for the flying elbow, specially if Barkov’s out for game 3
I was waiting for your analysis of THIS game. What a show.
The Panthers bought into Paul Maurice's system...play sound defense and the offense will be there. The Panthers are like a 5-Man Defensive unit with more than capable offensive skills. It's incredible to watch
If Barkov is out, Draisaitl needs to get suspension. Doesnt matter how big of a star you are, flying elbow is only for Trouba
hes not getting suspended. hes an NHL golden boy. they protect him
If Barkov is out, field Lomberg as a kamikaze and hospitalize McDickless. Then Bennett can sort out Dicksicle and get away with it.
They should, they won't

Oilers fans have made me want Florida to win
Oilers fans have always been like this
oiler fans have some reason to be that way, they played better in game 1 and still lost, not to mention canadien teams are never favoured over american in the playoffs. anyone could’ve saw it coming, i don’t think anyone would mind seeing florida get their first cup but to act like they aren’t just as dirty shows the lack of respect for a canadian team as usual
My phone blew up after immediately Dallas lost because I posted they would win. I couldn't believe how petty they are. I'm a Flyers fan too.
the sheer grease in this last game clogged my arteries
im still on life support from the 6 games my rangers lost in last round. Only way you can score against this Florida check is straight grease traps.

I like how no one is mentioning Panthers broke edmontons pk streak. LETS GO PANTHERS!
5:17 wtf was that from Bouchardpassing it straight to a wide open Panther???
5:37 Skinners reaction says "nothing I could do"... he can only do so much with nonexistent defence
Hes the most inconsistent goalie in the entire League... i mean wake up... Skinny and Pickard... wtf is that... Desharnais at the blue... all AHL players... in the SC Finals... only cause of 2 guys... Connor and Leon... and dont talk about Ryan or Zach... without Connor and Leon they wouldnt reach these numbers in those past seasons...
Connor and Leon never had a team to compete for the Cup... they deserve better...
That Oilers playoff run remind me a lot of the 2021 Habs run... "Fantasy" run
...
@@coreysghostglowmask8650 Yes, there are also too many inconsistent players on this team that are not trustworthy, I agree. And absolutely Skinner is inconsistent but not all of the blame falls solely on him with every goal. On the second goal he was screened/vision blocked by McLeod who usually does more harm than good to his team with very poor decision making. Either block the shot or don't screen your own goalie, the guy is softer than a wet noodle and is scared to touch anything. If there's a mistake, #71 is usually visible on the ice, and sadly Bouchard did not help Skinner at all during that game. Again, too many inconsistent players on this team who decide to show up or don't depending on the night. Lack of trust between teammates will weaken their game, FL alone edges them out on this aspect.
@@coreysghostglowmask8650 yes its hard to watch McDavid give it his all and the team miles away both physically and mentally behind him.
Bouchard played over 30min in Game 2, that piping hot turnover he served up was due to pressure
Love your breakdowns.
Every hockey channel a week ago - "The Oilers are on a mission" "McDavid is entering a new era"
Annnnnd here we are now lol welcome back to planet earth, we missed you guys
If the Panthers win the next 2, that video of Bouchard tapping out will basically summarize this whole series lol
When your down by a goal or more... pulling the goalie with 5min on the board... and keep sending the same 5 players on the ice over and over... shows how talented your team is...
Edmonton having no depth has been their absolute kryptonite for aeons now. The fact they sent out Cody Ceci and Darnell Nurse on a pair says it all, those dudes have been pylons these playoffs. Connor, Leon, Nuge, and Bouchard all have more points than any one given Panther, but if those guys arent scoring Edmonton flatout loses.
When you can’t tell the difference between “your” and “you’re”, you should get off of RUclips and go back to school.
Knoblock just doesn't have the experience. We've all seen it, sending out winded players, pulling the goalie. That little dance with Skinner should I stay or should I go? Just doesn't have the timing down. But, he's a good coach. He's gonna improve, it's nice to see new blood behind the bench.
@@malcolmapplet4313 ruclips.net/video/xMaE6toi4mk/видео.html
Great analysis, and it shows how often the Oilers have defensive breakdowns, which is something I've long said about the team. Oiler management seems to think they can have the one of the best offences in the league, but team defence is secondary. Due to no trade clauses, it's very difficult for them to trade for the shutdown d-men and defensive forwards the team desperately needs, they should be trying to draft them. Instead, management continues using 90% of their picks on forwards, obviously forgetting the old adage that defence wins championships.
Avs fan, I was screaming for the E rod hat trick
As a fellow Avs fan, I am also cheering for the Panthers and I live in Edmonton. I love watching all the oilers fans cry. I noticed this morning going to work that there was a 90% reduction in oilers flags on cars. Kind of sad because it helps me spot shitty drivers
Great vid and analysis thanks!

Great commentary and analysis as usual! Loving your.videos.
The NHL is practically tripping over themselves trying to get McJesus a cup, no way they suspend Drai for the next game. He better keep that head on a swivel cause I'm sure Florida is going to be hunting for him.
Draisaitl claims it was not intentional, but the guy leaves his feet, and throws the elbow. Knowing how that can hurt a player, either you are careless, or have intent. Have to wonder if the League reacts, or if this is now allowed in the Finals.
Well Florida start taking heads with you. The NHL just set the standard on head shots in this series.
I'm afraid there arent any heads for the Panthers to find. The Oilers seem to be playing with their heads up their asses. Panthers will just focus on ripping the cup out of their hands.
I'll say up front that I'm an Oilers fan. But Florida really brought their game. They deserved the win. The frustration I have is the refs calling really soft penalties on both sides and then not calling really obvious ones. Draisaitl's hit was just nasty, but they weren't even going to call the obvious charge (he left his feet), until they saw Barkov down. btw, there was a similar charge from Florida that didn't get called, but there was no injury, so I guess charging is allowed as long as there's no harm done. I don't feel like the calls have been one-sided, just inconsistent. It makes it hard for the players to know how to play.
💯 %
For those Oils fans who doubt... about the Cats forecheck... enjoy... and btw Nurse, Desharnais and Skinner... 2 ahl players and -7... 9Milli dman... i mean cmon you need more than McD and Leon to get, deserve or just think about the cup... thats a fact... that Oilers playoff run remind me a lot of the 2021 Habs playoff run... fantasy run...till they face the Bolts...
except the habs run was funny because no one expected them to even go that far but so much hype about an oilers cup ~
This was probably your best breakdown of a game this playoffs IMO
I mean, after game 2, I am pretty unbiased I think. EDM fans at the moment are clouded by anger that their team is down 2-0 so they attack panthers fans for "knowing nothing about hockey". They can't stand the fact that their golden boys, but mainly McDavid, has played 9 years now and hasn't got a single chip. As someone who was at all 3 of the Blackhawks' cups, let me explain that in the same 9 years span, Patrick Kane won 3 cups (from being drafted to the end of the 9 year stretch). Does this mean Kane is better than McDavid? Not at all. It means the Oilers are the most overrated team in modern NHL history and are not built to win cups clearly. They got away with some criminal series wins against better teams (Dallas) to even get to the cup.
On the other hand, the panthers are a clearly playoff built team, and the Rangers were massive favorites entering the playoffs, but the Panthers put the beating on them enough to win the series. Something to note is that the big players of the Rangers didn't show up, and everyone was mystified. Suddenly the best duo in hockey in McDavid and Leon don't show up and people are still mystified. The panthers are built around countering star power.
How did the oilers choose to respond to this in game 2? They played the dirtiest game of hockey I've seen in recent playoffs, and easily this season. The EDM fans then complain that FLA are a bunch of pro basketball players that take flops for penalties, even though EDM has had favorable calls in the past 2 games. The panthers played well last night compared to game 1, and it showed, even through that dirty hockey. Contrary to what the EDM fans will say, the Panthers are clearly the physically tougher team, as other than Barkov, the players who got hit hard and left the game actually returned to play.
For game 3, I'd imagine the bad blood will continue to run over, especially if Barkov ends up hurt. Player safety has already reviewed the Draisaitl hit and determined no fine or suspension will be assessed. In fact the slash on Kulikov is the only fined play from game 2.
In summary, and I remain unbiased, based on the hockey I watched from EDM in game 2, an Oiler could literally be beheaded and I would have no sympathy because they are bringing it on themselves with a lack of competitive integrity that is actually rare to see. I don't know how you can defend the behavior of what went on in game 2, but clearly if you think only the Panthers players deserve to get hurt while the Oilers just go unpunished, then it's time someone gets taken out HARD on the oilers so you can cry more.
I couldn't agree with you more. Edmonton has shown to be an incredablily dirty team. At times I thought I was watching Boston.

@@grahamvandervechte4876that is an unbiased take you’re just emotional
Based rant. Spot on 💯
I wish you could review every NHL game like this. I'd watch every video.
If Barkov misses next game, and Drai gets away with it without suspension, I'm pretty sure Panthers will play the reverse card on him or on McD on the field
i never notice any of this until you point it out thanks man
Drysaddle not getting suspended for purposely injuring Barkov pisses me off most
As an Oiler’s fan and someone who lived for many years in Edmonton and has been lucky enough to meet a couple of them, I was super disappointed in how the boys ended game 2. Game 1, they played pretty well honestly. The panthers were the aggressive ones making hits and playing kind of dirty in that one, but by the end of 2nd and the 3rd period of Game 2, Oilers were just losing all control of themselves and the game. And my guy Leon made an absolute fool of himself with that hit to Barkov. A full elbow straight to the head for no reason? Come on man. I really want them to win but it’s a tall order at this point. They gotta do something wildly different to handle Bobrovsky, and not make dumb mistakes like clumping together in defence and passing right in front of the net. I love them though, and if you’ve never lived in a hockey town like Edmonton, let me tell you, there’s a reason our fans go so hard! It’s a religion there. People live and breathe for each season, and the Oilers making it this far is amazing for ol E-town ❤❤
I was wondering why none of the commentators mentioned that drai left his feet and led with his arms like textbook how to not hit
Perfect hit, and follow through. ✅🥃🥃🥃

No team seems to be able to get past the Panthers defense except the Golden Knights last year. What did they do differently than other teams?
Half of Florida’s defense are new to the team this season and they’re all healthy this go around… not the same at all as last year. They definitely learned from last year’s run and it shows from their signings, depth, and play.
Manipulate the cap
Stayed healthy.

Oh no the overrated stars
Stars are a joke too. Too many older expired players.. Only circus clowns on the spectrum picked them to tin the cup
Florida clearly did their homework & is shutting down Edmonton's strategy which is pretty obvious
This dude really said, Draisaitl “took a healthy run at Barkov” 😂😂😂 Dude left his feet and elbowed Barkov in the face, eliminating him from the game. And why did he do it? Because he knows he can’t score against Barkov. What a trash can organization Edmonton is. Go Panthers.
Your rats was fucking acting. Your team deserves a emmie award.
Well spoken 👏 👌
@@frozone2366they can put their Emmy right next to the cup they deserve then. Out classed and out played the Oilers in the series so far.
@@frozone2366so barkov was acting getting an elbow to the face ?
Barkov skates 10 feet away and then does his impression of a soccer player. No penalty called on the play until after Barkov does his acting job.
Not even a Panthers fan but it would be awesome to see Florida win the Stanley Cup after just winning the Kelly Cup in the ECHL
This oilers team is the biggest hype job. Two god tier players, AHL level goaltending , a swiss cheese defence and non existent depth. It’s a testament to how garbage the west is that these guys got this far
Skinner is doing an acceptable job in the Final so far.
well dallas, colorado, and vegas are all great, but one of those teams eliminated the other two and edmonton beat dallas with only power plays, so I'd say the majority of it was luck, and some of it was that the west isn't as good.

is edmonton being outcoached? perhaps
yeah thats what i was thinking, Floridas coach has way more experience and tactically now Florida has been better and we see Edmontom struggling in major key moments/missing cup winning players=resulting in the coach depening too much on the star players also struggle in defensive plays, that hit on Barkov and also other low hits is just pure frustration, thats when Florida made the right decision to stay calm...because Draisaitls only intention was to mess up their tactical game by injuring Barkov, but Florida and their coach keeped it cool. Next match will be interesting, also depending wether Barkov plays or not
Out everythinged other than having one guy skate circles and pass
They are getting ripped on every side...
I bet Paul could get the oilers to a cup
Empty net on power play was a wild decision, and not in a good way
Draisatal should have at least received a game misconduct for the flying elbow.
I love how oilers fans are claiming florida is dirty, yet fogel tries to go knee on knee, draisaitl elbows to the head after leaving his feet, and that other oiler literally brought his stick up where the sun dont shine, all three are suspension worthy and should be acted on. 😂
Bennet laid a knee worse than Fogel but Bouchard didn't lay on the ice so....What about Ekblad's choke hold on Bouch also? I guess half the roster should be suspended eh?
@@paulg6274Bennett skated straight at him and kept his knees under himself. Foegle missed his hit and extended his knee outwards. Not even close to being the same.
That wasn't a choke, he dragged him away from the scrum. Happens every game.. Its just that players usually push back. No dawg in that guy.
@@paulg6274btw those plays are as bad as getting hit from behind cause they easily can dislocate or hyperextend your leg especially from the angle he came from
U didn’t see the other hit but let’s be honest both teams are playing dirty some more in times and some more in different times let’s just all accept that
Fogel actually played the puck (both players were playing it with their skates) and it wasn't actually knee on knee. Bennet's was a late hit. The nutshot was a retaliation for an uncalled Charge (about the same as Drai's hit on Barkov later). Bouchard taps a player in the corner (covered by 3 defenders) and gets called for a slash, but a stick in McD's hands on a breakaway goes uncalled. The officiating was definitely skewed.
At this point I wouldn't take anything serious that an Oilers fan says
Love your show! More jokes please! McDraisaitl! Officer Bob! Love it!

I watch the ABC feed to avoid all the Oiler bias... City TV also carries ABC. Messier and PK Subban are on the panel. This game really showed the lack of Oiler depth that they were able to overcome in the first 3 series.
Fucking loved every minute of this game. I hope we get a full fledged, no glove, beatdown in game 3. Put an enforcer in there for Florida and just demoralize the Oilers. I was really happy to see the Panthers come out aggressive and control the ice from the jump.

@@jpintero6330 they've been doing this shit all season long. It's disgusting and it cheapens the game. Aside from that they're just so dominant. I hate them and it kills me to admit they're the best team by a mile in the league.

@@jpintero6330 To each their own. But I've no dog in this race and I watch a LOT of hockey games when my team isn't playing. I don't think they're embellishing. Hockey players in general don't embellish because they have a culture of "toughness" opposite of that of soccer.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but these playoff games are intense and these hits are hard and the pace is fast. I also don't think they'd risk missing any gametime just to chance a 2min PP, especially with refs throwing a ton of 2min unsportsmanlike for embellishment when guys are legit tripped or hit from behind this season. It's just not worth it.

I just want mcdavid to pop off in one game, and no I don’t mean passes and assists but actual goals. At the moment Florida is shutting them down so hard and doing a great job to not open up any opportunities.
Dallas was a team I thought would beat Edmonton by playing just like this. You have to win 4 not 2. The Panthers still have to keep this level of play up or else the series could swing in a hurry.
Great work, thanks.
Florida definitely looks like the team that's been here before. I may be cheering more for Florida, but I do hope Edmonton learns from these first 2 games and manages to push the series to 6 or 7. I just want more hockey and a competitive Final.
As an Oilers fan I would love to see them turn this series around. But after watching the Panthers dominate them in Game 2 and Bobrovsky rob them in game 1, I don't see how they are going to do it. Kane is so injured he can't even sit down on the bench. Perry can't keep up to the play. McDavid doesn't have the space to move. Skinner is playing his best but he's no Bobrovsky. Unless the Oilers coaching staff have a magic solution, I think the Oilers are done. But who knows, at the start of the season we didn't think they'd even make the Playoffs and then they went on a 16 game run. The thing about the Oilers is, they have the amazing ability to do the unexpected.
Bob: Okey ONE free, but from now on🙃
I wanted Vancouver or Dallas in the finals. Would have made a better Final, so that pisses me off. And then there's Leon, the pissy man himself. He really pissed me off, but the fact he only got 2 minutes for that chicken wing pisses me off even more. Wouldn't be the Stanley Cup Playoffs with out suspect officiating however. It's all par for the course. Go cats! Sincerely, not a panthers fan.
go panthers. I love how how they just grind and don't let up
yes sir..
That’s definitely not the first time draisaital has done that
That game is the first time I've seen Bouchard frazzled in over a year. Suspect he won't let that happen again.
Honestly I just feel bad for Skinner. It's not his fault. Trying his best to keep oilers in it, but Bob is in a different league of goaltending and oil top stars getting frustrated
I kind of do two (my team isn't in it so I am a "neutral"). He finally got his act together, and his teammates left their scoring skates at home.
As a fan of neither of these teams, through this series, I went from NOT caring who won, to actively now rooting AGAINST Oilers 😂 Cats are slowly earning respected from me while Oilers have been consistently lowering my respect for them. Dirty plays, complaints, arrogance from the same fans that talked sh*t on Leafs fans, yet Leafs are no where near as dirty.
LETS GO CATS! Make it an absolute SWEEP. 1 goal in 2 games, from the team with the most stacked 1st line and literally McJesus himself--one player vs a proper TEAM 😂GG
The leading scorer in this series is (drum roll) Evan Rodrigues.
Im sorry...but this series is far from over

Draisaitl should have been given a one game suspension .Had it been a Canuck player leaving their feet and doing that to him, Canucks fans know what would have happened.
Longtime fan: the league needs to address intentional penalties resulting in injury and missed games. Otherwise, change the name to Rollerball and send out a 4th liner to throw a McFlying McElbow to McDoogle to even things up.
Super assessment of the game. Draisaitl "hit" deserved consideration for a major and definitely suspension. The knee on knee contact same thing. This shit has to be taken out of the game.
Matt Cooke wishes he could have played for the 2024 Edmonton Oilers, he would have never gotten suspended for injuring other players.
As a McJesus fanboy - Mr Holy and Mathews are the reason I started watching hockey after 15+ years of ignoring it, I get it. Unless the Oilers take the next two games (they have to, a split will not work) and solve Officer Bob, they are cooked, done, finished!. The only ray of light for McJesus fanboys (or is that fanbois) would be is that the Great 99, Crosby (and others) didn't win it their first time (unless your name is God/Brady of course). They sucked it up and got better. Mario 66 (and #8) spend years in team mediocre hell before he finally cracked it (against my MN Stars no less - boo!). In any case, I'm watching hockey again and that's something positive from this MN hockey native.
