The Official 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

If Edmonton comes back to win the Stanley Cup after being down 3-0, their story of the 2023-24 season will be the stuff of legend for years to come

Ok, that's enough of this crazy talk.

Also. How about a little love for Sasha Barkov. Maurice has put him on McMagic since game one. He's done that job well, I think. Not that Connor has gone without a few decent looks. But still. Barkov is out there grinding.

I still think McDavid is the NHL's best player right now. And I don't see my opinion changing even with a Panther win.

Oilers better be desperate. It'd be nice to see McD do his dipsy-doodling around and instead of passing off every dang time - drive to the slot and shoot the damm puck! ON GOAL, too.

Bench Nurse, call in Bobby Orr. At 70 something he'll do a better job. Go Oilers ! -

 

[Servant King]

Well hell, if Nurse of all people is scoring, that pretty much tells you where this game is headed! Of course Bettman can't handle sweeps...bad for business. I'm sure the late 90s Red Wings got such a stern chewing out from him that no other team has dared to do it since.

Bobravski pulled!

Now that's the team I've known!!!! Destroy these Cats, beat em senseless.

McDavid read my post from last night. He smokes a pipe, sneaks in on the forum too. He avoids dipstained Pete's too...same as me.

I know that guy. I bought a tin of Smoker Haven Exotique Mixture off of him on the forum some years back. Popped the can after noticing an odd shaped bulge to it. Inside was a coupon code for 50% off all bulk menthol blends at P&C, a puck signed by Darnell Nurse, and a nude photo of Justin Trudeau (not autographed). You can imagine how irate I was, but at least I got a partial refund after I sent the puck back.

LMAO!

Oilers played like Game one. The series should be 2-2. But. IT's NOT! Dammit! I'm glad to see Oilers at least come back and make it a fight...and I loved that they had no mercy on the big-headed Panthers. Rattling Brobs' cage like that was good too. After he was pulled I thought the Oilers would bomb him ( 45 yr old Terry Sawchuk?..is that who that was?) with shots left and right. But they did good enough. 10 goals would have been nice.

I also liked seeing Tkachuk taking a few to his bratty-punk face. I wish my superstar Nurse ( and pipe smoking buddy) would sent him into outerspace with a clean hit. Nurse likes pipestain, it figures.

Nurse played like he was jacked up on Royal Yacht.

Your wish came true in spades!

What a performance by the Oilers! And suddenly the finals are much more interesting. Instead of gloomily waiting for the inevitable, I'm now impatiently looking forward to Tuesday.

Congrats to McDavid for setting the playoff assist record.

LMAO! He did have a really good game. Lol...I can't stop laughing..

 

[Dave760]

Well, whad'yaknow...real playoff hockey! I wonder what Paul Maurice said that finally got the Panthers to show some interest in winning. If they'd played the first part of the game with a third of the intensity they showed in the second half, they'd have won the Cup tonight.

If the Oilers end up winning the series, this is the game that the Florida players should remember.

 

[Servant King]

 

[yanoJL]

I can't watch this anymore. I'm getting an ulcer.

Oh Florida, this is why we can't have nice things.

 

[kola]

Go Oilers! It appears Drialsaitl is playing hurt, something isn't right. McD finally taking control though, nice to see a battle finally..even if Cats manage to win the Cup. The odds are against the Oilers terribly. Maybe Leon D just needs a few bowls of Royal Yacht! Lol

 

[ssjones]

so maybe there's a chance!

 

[mikethompson]

Drag 'em back to Alberta!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Yeah, I think they are already there, licking their wounds... that'd be the cats. I imagine the home team is a bit giddy. Hoping for a fab game 6, leading to the same type in a 7th.
