Draisaitl should be suspended. He left his feet and delivered an elbow to the head – resulting in what appears to be a serious injury to Florida’s best player. If this happened to McDavid Oilers fans would be outraged. One game suspension minimum.
Edmonton needs to be confident and play better offense and defensive play. Yes, Murse and Kane are banged up, however, it’s a team effort with a Stanley Cup on the line!!! Get the two wins at home or it’s BUST!
Being down 2-0 going home is the least of the challenges the Oilers have had this year? This is the SCF…no?…how can that compare even? Its the biggest challenge of the year and must be viewed this way and treated this way meaning massive changes are required, massive and impactful changes. There is no nice way to talk yourself out of this Dogfight now ok….just Man Up in a new way with Jack Campbell and more Vets and start swinging back.
You guys have a lot more to worry about cus we comin for everyone wearing an oilers jersey for Barkov . That's why our guys aren't saying a word . Head hunting open season
Unfortunately the turning point in game two was Bouchard's low chance and amateur pass to Rodrigues, directly on his stick, which resulted in Florida going up 2 to 1. Edmonton's defense just can't make that can't of play in a Stanley Cup final game. He had intended for the puck to get through to his team mate. But That's high risk, especially in front of your own net.
Shouldn't ever be attempted. Nor should the offense be attempting those passes in Florida's zone. They're too easy to pick off. Rather, shoot the puck at the net, and make the play for the rebound or the ensuing stoppage in play & faceoff, if there's no goal. Hopefully winning the faceoff in their zone, and then repeating the entire process.

I'm just here to see how Smilin' Jack will put a positive spin on this downward spiral.

Panthers play better on Away games. TD Garden, MSG.

Bouchard sealed our fate. so we gonna run him out of town like we did to Bear?????
Winning the cup all comes down to injuries. If Vancouver was all full health they would have won the cup this year.
Its like the Oilers are playing LeCap's Miami Heatles. Esp Tkachuk with that Chris Bosh Pez dispenser imitation
