Yep, I think I'll just rely on Gamecast for this and Game 4.

At some point pride has to kick in, they have do more to win to avoid a sweep.
Two things coming to mind, one all the talk from the Panthers of wanting redemption after last year and secondly that line from Gretz after the first final loss that they walked past the Islanders dressing room and saw what it takes to win the cup. Can we use these ourselves for next year?
All things said pull this game back from here and you never know..

Too many dopey passengers.. including the guy in net..
Amazing that a rookie in Broberg makes Ceci and Nurse look like plugs..
Skinner has coughed up so many plays behind the net.. he is not a stick handler.. too clumsy.. almost got caught in the 1st period too.. I'm sure the scouting report is to dump it in Ceci's corner and take it away from his weak ass.. and/or.. Skinner will do something clumsy.. just need to watch video on this team.. analytics 101..
I've also had it with McLeod he's got the brain and courage of a bunny.

At this point, a younger me would be devastated… I’d be fuming… I’m not just pleased they are here, I expected more. But we’ve gotten to watch our Oilers in the cup final for the first time in 18 years.
I expect to be back next year.

The basic problem is that the Panthers have a better set of D-men and goaltending. Defence wins championships and all that. Looks like it will be a wrap on Saturday, as the Oil just don’t have any answers for Bobo and the Cats’ D. I guess we should be happy that the team got this far with the blue-line group they have….
P.S.: )&@$ you yet again, Holland. You failed to do anything about the biggest need on this team if they were going to win it all. And screw Bobby Burgers for hiring the overrated joker to begin with.

We were close. We made to the finals with our only upgrade last summer being Connor Brown lol.
Huge slap in the face by every weakness we knew was there in the finals though. Sucks. We needed a bad team to fluke their way to the finals. We got the best playoff built team instead.
Next GM has a hell of a lot of work to do, and 900k of extra cap space to do it while most everyone else gets 4.5M to improve their teams. nice one Kenny.

Seriously, Broberg making a case to free up Nurse's cap space in these playoffs.
We BADLY need cap space this summer. Big moves need to be made to fix this team.

Please don't make excuses for Nurse. So much for the defense, what we really need is a goalie.
|
Nurse needs to ask for tips from his new mentor BroBeast
|
Nurse is going to find his image under multiple words in the next publication of the dictionary.

I defended Nurse before as I thought he had a higher ceiling to reach, but I think he’s reached it. Top tier athletically, but cannot read the game worth a dime for where he is roster and contract wise.

I hope Nurse at least farted on this puck as it went through him under his butt
I feel like I've seen Nurse try to block a pass like this a dozen times in the last couple months. Always just goes right through him. He leans awkwardly one way with his stick nowhere near where the pass goes, and turns his back to the passer. Then wild swing at nothing. Always fascinating.

Go figure. Broberg is the only Oiler that can pick a corner
haha, nvm, nice bounce. Bobo had most of that side covered.

Horrid gift goals in our end and weak goaltending just made the hole too deep

I think we duct taped Skinner’s psyche as much as anyone could. He’s still coughing up goals and blunders. I think that experiment as starter is over.
