4 on 3 now for EDM. 3 penalties in 25 seconds.

1st period intermission: Florida 2, Edmonton 1

Good start for Edmonton, but then Florida stepped it up.

Final in OT: Edmonton 4, Florida 3

Perry to McDavid to Draisaitl. Draisaitl with the game-winner on the power play.

Florida led 3-1 in the 2nd period. Edmonton scores the final three goals and gets the win.

Edmonton leads the series 1-0.

Wow.

Wow indeed.

A team like this is why I didn’t get (besides $$$) Mike Sullivan going with the Rangers so soon. Why not wait and see if there is a closer team that becomes available that he might might be to help get on top?

We’re heading to overtime, again. Edmonton ties it up with 17.8 seconds left in the 3rd period. 4-4 after three.

1st period intermission: Florida 2, Edmonton 0

Lots of penalties, more of them committed by Edmonton. Goals by Marchand and Verhaeghe.

Edmonton needs to step it up.

5-1, Florida, 16:33 left in the 3rd period. Edmonton just pulled Stuart Skinner.

It’s too easy for Florida tonight. Edmonton is getting beaten badly.

Final: Florida 6, Edmonton 1

Florida leads the series 2-1.

Ugly game. Edmonton came unglued. No discipline. Florida won big, physically and mentally. I don’t know how Edmonton comes back from this. Brutal.

Well that was a little different. As to limiting the negative of the outcome for the Oilers, it only counts as one no matter the goal differential/dominated.

They took the Panthers to 7 games last year and won game 1 this series, so it’s not like they can’t beat them.

There’s no what if to dwell on, so flush it and come back like in the first two games.

All true, but I wonder if it’s in Edmonton’s heads now. They lost to Florida last year and were just thoroughly beaten in Game 3.

That is certainly possible. How this turns out will start solidifying the legacy for this Edmonton group.

Haven’t had a repeat loser in the finals since the Bruins in ‘78.

More of the same.

1st period intermission: Florida 3, Edmonton 0

Granted, the refs missed a high-sticking penalty on Florida on the third goal, but still, Edmonton is just getting beaten. The Oilers continue to commit penalties, and Florida is making plays.

Tkachuk scored the first two goals for Florida, both on power plays.

Well, now.

2nd period intermission: Edmonton 3, Florida 3

Edmonton switched goalies (Pickard in, Skinner out), and it worked. Pickard was sharp, and Edmonton rattled off three straight goals.

I came close to going last night. Glad I saved the $$$ and my time. FLA has been so good in the 2nd period - until last night. It's like they took a collective nap.
If you had a rooting interest in FLA winning was a good game to miss, but if you were neutral (or EDM fan) it would have been great.

The NHL should not have teams in any state where ice does not naturally occur outdoors. Go Edmonton!!

Anyone watching hawkey? I love playoff hawkey. Watch this from last night:



The speed. The moves. This is why he’s called McJesus.

We’re in Round 2. Edmonton wins two in Vegas and heads home up 2-0.

Round 1 was a lot of fun. Round 2 is already good. Much more madness to go before a team raises Lord Stanley’s Cup.

Inject it into my veeeeeeeeeeins!

But seriously... can we get a competitive Penguins roster out there next year??

1st period intermission: Florida 2, Edmonton 0

Once again, Florida starts fast and dominates the 1st period. As good as Florida looked, Edmonton looked poor (slow).

Goals by Marchand and Bennett.

3 shots on goal and none on the power play? Either the Panthers have another gear or EDM is gassed.

Looked like both in the 1st period. Edmonton was very poor on their one power play.

4 even strength goals on 17 shots for Florida, with two scored against McDavid's line, and two scored against Draisaitl's line.

Also, Edmonton was at home. Just straight up outclassed.
