2024-25 NHL Misc. Thread

If the cats decide to play with their food and Edmonton doesn’t get stupid then the Oilers could win.

If Florida brings their game Edmonton has no solution. They’re not deep enough to overcome that.
 
Puddy tats should have a lot of energy to win this baby at home but stranger things have happened.
5-2, chairman moe wins another title
 
Yeah, I like Edmonton to figure out how to survive tonight although if they get down 2 or 3 goals early as they've done a couple of times then all bets are off. Look for the Oilers' breakout plays for a clue. When they've made or had the time to make the extra pass and hit the offensive zone in an organized manner, then they've generated plenty of scoring chances. When they've been forced to wing it, they've been pummeled.
 
Sadly, the Panthers are good. They may play our style, but there's a bit of an edge. And they have some players who know how to score when the pressure is high.
 
Glad this series is finally over. As a Panther hater, I can still appreciate the incredible team they've built for playoff hockey. The WSJ has a good article, "The NHL's Preeminent Dirtbags Are Now Stanley Cup Champions," and talks about how they ramp up their antics for the playoffs and take pride at getting under other teams' skins. All true. They also play a suffocating defensive style which is similar to ours, but better. I can't help but think their silver bullet is in net - and keeps them in games when it matters most. Now we can finally think about the off-season!
