Team looking like the cliche of not knowing what it takes to win it all.
Not that we have the better lineup or anything. Need some miracles to win this series. Don't expect our top guys to look so inept either though.

What a weaaaaaak sauce start to the series. It's like the Oilers are acknowledging that Florida deserves the Cup and are here to just tag along for the ride.

They actually looked good almost all of game 1. They looked like junk this entire game except for about 2-3 minutes after the Panthers went up 2-1. Once they were down they finally had a bit of a push back, but it didn’t last.

Good possession in game 1, but choked loads of chances. Evan Rodrigues more clutch than our whole team combined.

Bouch 30:40 and taking huge hits all night. Clearly targetted cause we have no other useful RHD. He is in for major pain this series.

That was bad, it certainly didn't help losing Foegele early on and then Nurse only getting limited ice time, when they were trying to manage Kane's time as well. Bouchard took some penalties meaning the back end had to swallow so much time.
This looks like a round to far so far for them, but it's home ice now for us and we've got to do better. Look at who's fit, look at bringing in players who aren't carrying significant injuries and go at full tilt as tonight we looked like we only had third gear.

Yeah, but at least we had more than 3 chances. There was nothing tonight. Even Ek’s goal was a stinker. He stops that almost every time.
Would have felt a lot better with a similar loss than what we were treated to tonight.
And the refs suck. And the Panthers are worse than the Sedins in 2011 with the diving, flopping, and those head snaps.

Can’t help but wonder if the outcome would not have been different if we would have rightfully gotten that 1:48 5 on 3.

Our fate is probably decided by how well Florida plays. First game they got the lead early and dropped back defensively. Maybe they were nervous and tentative. Bobo shut the door plus we helped by being anti-clutch.
This game Florida much more comfortable, just kept battling even when we got the lead and just broke us down.
Our team is worse, no doubt about it. We need McDavid or Drai to be the ones stealing for us with pure talent plays. Almost every powerplay needs to count.

Thing is, Mcdavid looked dangerous many times. Did all that work to get into a prime shooting position, only to overpass. Need to send some on net. Get some greasy ones.

Yeah. McDavid and Drai get into that mode sometimes. This is the absolute worst time for that to be happening. Maybe the pressure of the moment and Bobo's last game has them overthinking things. We probably have zero chance in the series if that continues even for one more game.

We cooked. Need a big bag of faerie dust and we are all out. That was a winnable game but either players are too banged up, too gassed, or don’t have the necessary next gear.
McDavid better have a secret stash in his closet at home.

I'm not wondering the outcome.. shoulda been a 5 on 3.. and definitely woulda changed the game.. linesmen blew it.. it was a foot and a half inside the zone when he shot it out.. 4 guys on the ice.. easy call.

We also can't lose sight of the biggest winner of the night. Cody Ceci. He now knows none of it was really his fault.

They don’t give us those calls. “Game management” dictates they aren’t gonna give us an unfair advantage given our PP.
We played like crap. But we aren’t getting anything no matter what from the stripes, even if it’s justified.

Kinda surprised so far at how many powerplays we have been given. We had the chance to make our special teams a difference in both games. Can't get the job done though.

If nothing is happening then atleast give me one game of a Nuge-McDavid-Gagner line in the SCF. Atleast give me some happy memory of something I can cheer for.

Well we got away with one on the Draisatl elbow on Barkov. And the puck over the glass doesn't fuss me because it was over the blue line. A good call by the referees.
You're never in trouble until you lose at home. So the series is far from over.

Was Drai's elbow the equivalent of Torres removing Michalek's soul from his body?
Maybe needed to put more into it. Wouldn't be surprised if Barkov is in the next game.

Can't get too high on the wins, or too low on the losses. The fact is, you're never done until you're done. We've seen the Oilers come back from two games down to win. We've seen other teams do it too, including in this playoffs.
There's some things to adjust for sure - we really can't try to win 10-shot games just because it worked once. They need to take a certain amount of risks in order to push the play and we haven't done it when we're leading so often in the playoffs. It's not a great recipe for success.
Hopefully our players are back in the lineup next game, and hopefully the refs spend a bunch of time watching video of how much they suck and feel like they owe us next game. Some truly awful calls in this one. It's not why we lost, but it sure doesn't help.
I will say, I'm not sure that Kane is healthy enough to contribute, and if he isn't then I don't know why he's in the lineup. Zero shots in the series. He sucks at passing and can't make an easy breakout to save his life, so if he's not getting shots too? Then he's not giving you much else.
I would love to see Gagner in and the emotional boost that would give the team at home. With last change they could control his matchups too.

I'd bet my house he's back next game. If mcdavid scores on the breakaway he would have been back last night.
The guy who lied on the ice like his leg got amputated and had to be helped down the tunnel was back like 2 shifts later.
I was wondering why Nurse kept going back and forth down the tunnel but I guess it makes sense - probably noticed florida players doing it to draw penalties every 5 minutes and the refs biting every time.

Disagree.. according to the rules.. once the puck is inside the defending zone.. the ENTIRE width of the blue line is considered part of the D-zone until the puck completely crosses the FAR EDGE of the blue line (edge closest to neutral zone).. which is the opposite to when bringing the puck INTO the zone.. where the entire width of blue line is considered part of the Neutral zone..
In this game, the puck was shot out before the blue line.. it never cleared the zone before the shot out.. it still had to go past the "outside edge" of the blue line before it would be considered "clear" of the D-zone... it was like a foot and a half inside the D-zone when he shot it out.. delay of game.. refs blew the call.
Quote: | Rulebook: If the puck moves from the Neutral Zone into a team’s Attacking Zone, the edge of the blue line closer to the Attacking Zone is the determining edge. Until the puck completely crosses the blue line, the 12 inch width of the blue line is a part of the Neutral Zone.
However, the instant the puck completely crosses the blue line, the determining edge is reversed and the width of the blue line becomes a part of the Attacking Zone.
To paraphrase, the blue line is part of the neutral zone until the puck crosses into the attacking zone, at which point the blue line is now part of the attacking zone.

Not sure what’s wrong with him, but Kane is pretty useless at this point. Can’t imagine Gagner would be any worse.
And Nurse was obviously in pretty bad shape - can’t see him being 100% Thursday. Have to put Ceci back in, then you can go
Broberg - Desharnais, Kulak - Ceci, or Broberg - Ceci and Kulak - Desharnais. Everybody on their string side.

Well, it's not really a matter of opinion - the initial contact was made inside the defensive zone. Regardless where the puck leaves the stick, it's a delay of game penalty.
From the NHL rulebook, and as discussed by the panel last night:
(iii) On any player who shoots or bats (using his hand or his stick) the puck
directly (non-deflected) out of the playing surface from his defending
zone, except where there is no glass. The determining factor shall be
the position of the puck when it was shot or batted by the offending
player. If contact with the puck occurs while the puck is inside the
defending zone, and subsequently goes out of play, the minor penalty
shall be assessed.

Didn't Barkov play after the hit?
Pretty funny that every Panther goes down the tunnel now after all the perceived infractions to try and squeeze out a penalty.. and then come right back.. its coaching strategy.

I know the chances are slim to none, but I hope the refs watch this and feel totally embarrassed by how they were played and either don't call anything against them, or start calling embellishment.

We've had the NHL feed for the first two games, not sure why we've not had ABC, but it's either of E. J. Hradek or Jamie Hersch with Kevin Weekes, comically the PbP tried suggesting it wasn't a penalty because it didn't leave the stick till it was outside the zone. It was clear as day inside the zone and whilst our PP hasn't been hot a 5 on 3 goal could have been just the thing to reignite it.
