We started watching in the 3rd period. After they took the lead, my wife and I were so happy. Then Florida tied it up
Fortunately the Oilers pulled it out in OT.

The Oilers pulled off quite the win last night! I figured it was over after the first period and went to sleep early
Same here!
As an Oiler fan since the '80's living in Edmonton I was pretty dismayed after the first period and hoping Pickard would go in. Thankfully Knoblauch agreed. The turnaround was astounding. I think he won the net back from Skinner.
Apparently so did the Panthers.The Oilers pulled off quite the win last night! I figured it was over after the first period and went to sleep early
I'm sure hoping Florida wraps things up at home Tuesday. Then I can look forward to the draft and Free Agency.
And after July 1, finally an end to the endless Mitch Marner rumors. FWIW, my guess is he's signing with LA. Or Dallas. Or Colorado. Or Utah. Or...

I don't see Colorado making the space for him. He's also not hard nosed enough to do what we need
Anaheim, Chicago, or St. Louis are my guesses
We could start a pool
I would've preferred to see the Lightning make-and win-the playoffs, but they just weren't strong enuff this season. However, I'm hoping the Panthers bring the cup back to Florida where it belongs. 
Yeah, I was just citing the numerous rumors I'd read over the past month. He's definitely not hard-nosed enough for anybody's needs, which means he'd fit in nicely in Pittsburgh.
. Here's hoping the coaching change will change that...Sullivan never utilized physical players (except Hornqvist).Colorado might have been interested but after re-signing Nelson that appears doubtful. I hadn't heard any St Louis rumors, which means that might be where he ends up! Anaheim is a good possibility.
Nah. Not sure where you are hearing Colorado was interested. Hearing exactly zero of that locallyYeah, I was just citing the numerous rumors I'd read over the past month. He's definitely not hard-nosed enough for anybody's needs, which means he'd fit in nicely in Pittsburgh.

That said, Colorado has the same struggle as anyone else. Ok depth, but not enough to carry. No one who wants to chop wood in front of the net
Dumbass does have a thing for him.....Yeah, I was just citing the numerous rumors I'd read over the past month. He's definitely not hard-nosed enough for anybody's needs, which means he'd fit in nicely in Pittsburgh.

I quit watching after the first period. The only way i could describe it is like the opening of a sports movie where the they emphasize how bad the team is to set up the story.
Why they put Skinner back in boggles me. But can't blame the goalie - it's a team sport and the best team won. And next year's another chance to watch the Rangers, Canucks, and (of course) the Leafs fumble the ball again. Will the Panthers 3-peat??
Yeah, but that was already the plot of game four...
Also, what's the last time a team lost in the finals twice in a row? Has to have been a while, no?
I for one am thrilled with the Panthers' victory, and equally glad it did not go to a Game 7.
Can't lay all the blame on Skinner... Bouchard and especially Eckholm were terrible defensively throughout the series, but even more so in Game 6.
Sam Bennett was certainly a deserving winner of the Conn Smythe, but Bobrovsky was right there, too.
Evander Kane is still a major league tool, but I'd take three of him on my team any day, minus the stupid penalties of course. Weird part is I felt that same way about Marchand and Tkachuk for many years, but at the moment I love those guys. Funny how that happens.
Now comes the fun of draft day and Free Agency right around the corner.

Unfortunately Edmonton gave all their money to Nurse instead of an NHL goalie
I haven't looked up special teams numbers, but I know Edmonton didn't do well there either
