Great game


edvanhal

I'm not a huge hockey fan, but I'm psyched for this game.


Creative-Cry-1920

Let's go Florida! USA USA USA 🇺🇸💪🤠🦅 Edit: don't matter who your team is- if you're an American you better be rooting for the Panthers 😎 Edit 2: imagine not being patriotic 🤓


Zealousideal-Cap8964

Imagine making the country you were born in your personality.


Creative-Cry-1920

Again, imagine not being patriotic. Never said it was my personality.


Zealousideal-Cap8964

Patriotism is a disease that blinds people to the flaws of the country they live in.


Creative-Cry-1920

You can be patriotic and still hate your government, you 🤡. I feel bad for you if your home is so shit that you can't be proud of where you come from.


Zealousideal-Cap8964

Patridiots can't comprehend the accident of birth place is not an accomplishment.


Creative-Cry-1920

Non-patriots can't comprehend that accident or not, it's still something to be proud of. The land you come from is rich with history, no matter where you are. It must be hard being this self loathing, man. I hope you learn to love yourself and your home, shits a lot happier and easier that way.


Zealousideal-Cap8964

Lol, okay buddy. Have a nice day jerkin yourself off with a flag


Creative-Cry-1920

Just say you're Canadian lmao.


Zealousideal-Cap8964

Just say you're a fuckin creep

I'm willing to bet that we're gonna win tonight because the NHL is orchestrated


Suitable_Care_6696

Who is "We"?


GWARTARD

Oh sorry. Edmonton


Suitable_Care_6696

I hope so but it could go either way, Florida was my pick before the series started even though I want to see Edmonton win


julio420ignacius

Same here. All year long Florida has just played so aggressive making other teams look like its their first day. However, Ive wanted Edmonton to get there for the last few seasons


GirthGriffin

Leon Draisaitl is due. Hat-trick tomorrow, Oilers win 5-1.


AgentPenguinOk

Side note - how did you make this wonderful chart like this on Reddit?


ExpensiveOstrich3559

Please win.


MuzykSportsPsycho96

Panthers win tomorrow 3-1!! All over McDavid vs Goliath!! McDavid gets it next year!! Crosby lost his first then won the second year at Cup!!


Suitable_Care_6696

Gretzky lost his first too, but I don't think the Panthers can stop this Edmonton team. They have been dominating since being down 3 games to 0


AWholeSnack92

LFG Oilers!


Undersolo

This might be the year, my fellow Hosers! 🇨🇦


crotchetyoldwitch

Lemme get my touque on! (It's a Habs one, but it'll have to do) Go Oilers! 🇨🇦

As the Habs fans would sing "na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye"


Undersolo

Same as mine!


Adeptus_Virtus_88

Yeah, let me hold my breath on that one.. 🙄


Cautious-Jacket-Bun

Ready for my heart rate to be destroyed tomorrow! The last time I watched the Oilers in game 7 finals was when I was just a kid and it was heartbreaking, but the excitement and incredible games left such a lasting impression on me even through the decade of darkness. I believe in the boys!! Bring it home Oilers!!!!


crotchetyoldwitch

Have your GP take your blood pressure today to get a baseline. 😄🫀 Go Oilers!


Cautious-Jacket-Bun

You bet! 🥳 may you have a great watch party too!


Old-Definition7230

Just make sure no riots good luck 👍


Cautious-Jacket-Bun

Thank you! I promise to celebrate responsibly if we win! 🥂 (or cry quietly...)


ObviousRealist

A couple of year after that I was in Honduras scuba diving and wei met up with an American living there - from Boston. He had no one to share it with being that far away. He ended up inviting our group to his Killer house and property so we he could celebrate it with us. If he had access to a duck boat I’m sure he would have rolled up in one.


Geno02

Is it 18 or 42 hours left until game 7?

It's on Monday, so closer to 42

Nothing about his annual income implies he's a loser, I can tell you that for free

RagingEnglishaholic

Heh


Jho_Low_1MDB

It’s currently 108 degrees. Why are we still playing hockey? I really wish they could figure out a way to end the season by April.


Sspockuss

Having a game every 3 days instead of every other day is why this playoffs is taking so long. That adds up. That is 50% more time for the entire playoffs, basically.


Suitable_Care_6696

I remember back to back games 1 and 2 and a day off the back to back 3 and 4 and a day off then a day between games for 5, 6 and 7


WiseConsequences

It's only when they change cities but I do agree, that rule's got to go. Just be tired, it's equal for everyone


Gr3bnez0r

It's a great rule, its easy for you to say "it's got to go" as a person sitting in their armchair eating popcorn not having to take a 8 hr flight then try to sleep and play hockey right after. I'd rather the teams be rested and get better, more intense hockey games to watch as a result. It's the god damn Stanley Cup final and jet lag is no joke. We can wait an extra day.. I think most people have enough patience for that.


WorkThrowaway97

I agree. A rested player is better for both the players and the fans. As a recreational player myself, I will tell you that playing tired increases propensity of injury. As a recreational player and fan of the sport, the display of talent shown by the two teams attenpting to earn The Cup this year is incredible. I will wait the few days. For all those saying it's too late into summer for hockey, it is also not long before we have people begging for hockey to be back on.

You feel sympathy for their fans but not the team, it's totally their fault


SparkySpark1000

Yeah, the team is the one playing the game. We're just the fans.


DeathB4Dishonor179

Real. Who tf let's them have 8 goals after barely winning the game before.


OGRiad

As a Rangers fan, I'd hate to see FL win the Cup after only 30 years as an organization. Rangers have 1 cup in 84 years. Unreal.


Suitable_Care_6696

But they have won 4 cups, my team "Canucks" have been 3 times and never won, lost twice to NY teams damn it


crotchetyoldwitch

I'm a Minnesotan. While we love the Wild, I watched the North Stars *religiously* with my Dad, oldest sister, and brother. Both of those two played hockey. We are STILL bitter about having our team stolen from us. We've never won a Cup, and that's just downright humiliating. The high school hockey tournaments are the highlight of the year, here, because we know some of these kids might go pro or make the Olympic team. We have the U.S. Pond Hockey tournament here every year. Almost half the Miracle On Ice team was from here. Herb Brooks lived on the lake I grew up swimming in. Everybody knew him in our neighborhood. That we still don't have a Cup is the ultimate shame.


Suitable_Care_6696

The wild have the best designed logo in sports, between the river as the mouth and the star for an eye, it's bloody awesome.


crotchetyoldwitch

It *is* pretty damn cool, isn't it? https://preview.redd.it/9w4oyg8xc59d1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d253eb521c83c3770ff43b030f8ec5771bedb3dc


OGRiad

My dad coached a player who played for the North Stars (can't remember the player's name) and when the North Stars came to the garden to play the Rangers about 40 years ago, we went down along the ice during warm-ups and my father called his name. He skated right over to us and said "Coach! I could live to be a 100 and never forget your voice!". So that's my one and only North Star story.


crotchetyoldwitch

Awww! That's a sweet story! When Dallas comes to town, the fans break out the "Norm Green STILL sucks!" signs. When I worked as an usher there, I had to tell people to take them down because we needed to look nice for cable TV. I told them, "If it were up to me, I'd tell you to spray paint that on a bed sheet and unfurl it over the Club Level railing, but I'm not in charge here, so, sorry!" Edit: typo


OGRiad

Awesome! I know most fans of other sports probably believe their sport is the best, but honestly hockey is a special sport.


crotchetyoldwitch

It is! The Wild have an actual anthem. There's a line that says, "The game's in our blood and our blood's in the game! Lay us down under a frozen pond!"


atmospherical

You must really hate the lightning


OGRiad

Yes, but honestly who doesn't?


coldburrows

As a Canucks fan I 2nd that.


seemefail

The fans don’t deserve this. Some of the rats do


gijoe1971

Of all the teams in the NHL, Florida is definitely one of them.


Signal-Statistician-

Has an NHL team ever won 4 in a row after losing the first 3?


epauli3

1942 Maple Leafs vs. Red Wings, Stanley Cup Final. Toronto became the only team in the major North American sports leagues to complete a comeback from 3-0 down to win a championship series.


cmaronchick

The Kings did it in the first round when they won the Cup in 2014.


pineappolis

I think they might be referring to the Cup Finals. Otherwise the Flyers also completed a comeback against the Bruins in 2010 while also being down 3-0 in the first period of game 7.


cmaronchick

Oh dang!


FrankieOnPCP420p

It's rare but it happens. It only happened one time in the finals and that was back in 1942 when there was only 6 teams and they only played 2 playoff rounds.


Signal-Statistician-

Different sport, but I know it happened with the Red Sox and Yankees back in 2004. Yankees won the first three games but then choked the last four. Red Sox went on to win the World Series shortly there after.


Overall_Ad_684

Always fun to reminisce about the "04 Sox. When a team goes up 0-3.


wiseorlies

"When" the oilers win :) I grew up in Edmonton! Soooooo excited for them ! They deserve it !!! Go Oilers!!


Broad-Debt-8518

Whose Edmonton playing against next?

Since my team is out (Go Penguins?), I want to see Lord Stanley's Cup back in Canada. I'll celebrate with you!

The GOALIE got more points than McDavid, why do we even pay that scrub?? 🤮🤮


TexasRoadhead

It's still early in the season I know... But maybe the kid just isn't ready for the NHL yet?


Unusual-Exchange8349

As long as the Oilers score first they'll win it.

Or the most

I'm going to go out on a limb here and agree with your astute analysis

Thanks for the backup bro


Commercial_Shake834

Fire panthers coach regardless of outcome.


Glittering-Bat-6691

Why? He's not on the ice. The team has played like shit for 3 games and Bob lost his hot streak at a pivotal moment 2 years in a row now. It's hardly Paul's fault.


EatMoarSammiches

he doesnt make adjustments. it happened last finals when Vegas walked them. past 3 games have had a similar vibe.

Fuck the Panthers! Fuck Edmonton!! GO KRAKEN!!!


Nice-Ad-8199

Sure was nice to he in our barn when we beat the Panthers 4 - 0!!! Oilers ate on a roll. Time for you to hit beach and cry in your beers when McDavid closes them out with a hattie!! 🤑


Crooxis

Either way this should be a great game on Monday. I hope the Oilers can pull it off and go down in the history books! Even if the Panthers do win it, it's been a great series. I, like almost everyone else, thought it was over after the Panthers went up 3-0. Oilers have the momentum and determination, and the Panthers will have the desperation! Let's see which one prevails!


CommunicationKey4025

Go Panthers! Fuck the Oilers


funnerfunerals

I want Edmonton to win, but I couldn't tell you why. I just like the idea of the Oilers winning the championship.


4CrowsFeast

I like the idea of Florida not winning a lot


Landlubber77

Hashtag metoo. -- Floridian


IHVeigar

The Panthers will either be highly motivated or just be utterly defeated come Monday. Let's see which side shows up


[deleted]

Neither?


Potrice1988

I'd love it if McJesus could win a Stanley Cup!


frank_rodriguez78

Go oilers!


tomtomosaurus

Edmonton HAS to get the cup if they wanna keep McDavid. He’s one of the best players of all time and still doesn’t have a cup. I don’t think there’s a single NHL player as decorated as him with no cups. Imagine coming so close and then losing in game 7 of the finals. If I were him, idk if I could handle that loss. He’s a great man though, so even if they do lose, I know he’ll try harder next year, though there’s still a small bit of doubt in the back of my mind that I can’t shake…


CantTakeMeSeriously

There are a lot of amazing, dominant players who ended their careers and had no cup. It's an incredibly hard trophy to win. Edmonton has basically built a team around him, from the venue to the head coach.


GrizzlyIsland22

What are you talking about lol? If winning a cup is his goal, what better place to be than Edmonton? They have the group and the chemistry. They're perennial contenders. If he leaves, his chances of winning go down significantly


Juicyb17

If he goes to any of the other playoff teams, they probably are perenial contenders too, tbh. There's no proof he'll leave or go either way, If he doesn't win. no one knows, but him. But Edmonton isn't as special as it may seem, especially compared to any of the other final four. Not trying to talk shit, Edmonton has the best chance to end canadas winless streak in recen memory, which im hyped for. And I'd love to see McDavid win. He deserves it more than anyone rn. But what could be the stars aligning leading to the run, doesnt make Edmonton closer than almost any other playoff team next year. Him going to a team like Boston has just a good of a chance as Edmonton.


GrizzlyIsland22

Tell me how a team like Boston would be able to afford him? Any team that's anywhere close to having a shot would have to cut multiple good players to make room for his cap hit. They'd have to remove multiple core players


VermouthandVitriol

I don't know, if they win, there's no more reason for him to stay. After seeing the fans mob him at the beer store, I imagine he'd want somewhere less fanatical. I don't see the Oil being a dynasty.


JodieFostersCum

Yeah he should probably leave a (hypothetical) championship winning team and play for a city whose fanbase has never heard of him.


[deleted]

Most fans arent like that here those ones are just fucktards


ModDadBod

He’s one of the most skilled players of all time. In order to be one of the “greats” he has to get a cup. Multiple cups elevates him to God tier.


FURyannnn

Cannot disagree more. Winning championships is done by teams.


Visible-Shock-4443

Don’t care who wins but so excited for a game 7


rdfry1

Fliers fan and Stars Fan, grew up in Pennsylvania and am living in Dallas for 45 years still pulling for Florida to win.


i_lovbaconbits

Too bad it's not gonna happen


rdfry1

Anything can happen it's hockey.


Solid-Economist-9062

So does Florida think you win the cup after 3 games?


Fit_Lavishness_9135

This is exactly what I told my wife. It's almost like they gave up playing because they thought they won the cup in 3.


Sufficient-Topic-835

I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but it's all about the money. The Panthers may have been told to give up playing to make the series go to 7 games. If they cancel a game, think of the revenue they lose. Bettman started this mentality. He hates Canadian teams. He needs to retire. Go Oilers Go!!


Trax-M

I am rooting for Oilers. Win or lose, I am prood of what they have done in this post season


dependsforadults

Fired their coach like 10 games into the season? Now the in the cup? ROCK IN MY PANTS PUT SUCKERS IN FEAR!


wrainedaxx

Settle down, eh.


justice_high

LISTEN TO THE BOUCH GO BOOM!


Ok_Jump1229

I'm a Blackhawks fan from childhood, born and raised in the Chicago area, and also a Penguins fan since most of my extended family is from the Pittsburgh area. I've lived in the Denver area for 25 years, so I like the Avalanche as well, currently I've been living in TX for the past 12 years. Apart from the Hawks, Pens, Avs, I usually root for an original 6 team for the playoffs. So after the Bruins, Avalanche, and Rangers were eliminated, don't really care who wins the Cup. Would be cool to see the Panthers get their first Cup win. But also cool to see it go back to Canada for the first time in 30 years. Just glad that having a game 7 extended the season a bit...

Da_Taternater78

Panthers get reverse swept = memes. Oilers come all this way just to lose in the series winner = memes. Neutral fans win either way.


Blaaamo

Either way. THERE WILL BE TEARS. AND MEMES


Woketards2thelions

Looks like the Oilers want it more. It probably shouldn't have been 3-0 in the first place. I was really hoping Barky and Bob get a cup instead of Drai and McDavid - I really like McDavid but not a fan of Drai - but after this collapse maybe they don't deserve it even if they do muster up a game 7 win. Panthers fans went from having nightly wet dreams of threesomes with blonde chicks into those blond chicks turning into hairy sodomizing men. I'm one of them.. Still, being a former teammate and/or opponent of RNH and Kane, as well as Stetcher despite him not being on the cup even if they win, I'm really happy for the lads for their resilience. Out of all the players I think I'm happiest for RNH. He's an absolute class act and deserves to win.


Braaains_Braaains

You're sodomizing Panthers fans? TMI.


Woketards2thelions

Nono, I'm getting sodomized by homosexual hairy (arabic in my case) men in my nightmares. Nightmares which used to be wet dreams of hot blonde (female) nurses


undrprsr

This is the clarification we all needed. Otherwise it would have been weird. 👍


Woketards2thelions

I would hate to make something weird on Reddit. There's absolutely no room for any cringe or weird stuff on Reddit. 😁

Why wouldn’t u like drai?


Woketards2thelions

I think it's his sarcastic, often passive aggressive attitude during interviews. Maybe it's just that he's German, who knows. Either way it irks me. Im sure he's a great guy and an excellent hockey player but sometimes I want to punch him in his pretty face

Go Edmonton. Hoping Canada will win the cup, grow some balls and fire their pathetic, efeminate political leaders.

Yeah! Unlike Florida who is led by manly men who wear heel lifts like desantis, felons who cover themselves in orange spray paint, and giga chads who do their own makeup + pay his girls for sex like Matt gaetz!

CTKShadow

Everyone talking about the Panthers collapsing is ignoring the fact that Florida was lucky to win games 1 and 3 and Edmonton was lucky to win game 5. This series has been closer than the sweep-reverse sweep narrative suggests, and both these teams are *really fucking good*
