This is absolutely HUGE for the Florida Panthers….
The Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers are back at it for game 3 with Aleksander Barkov in after the Leon Draisaitl hit. Can Connor McDavid turn things around even with Darnell Nurse in the Oiler lineup.
The NHL won't suspend Leon because without Robin, Batman aka McDavid would be less than nothing. They would be left with Nurse, a banged up Kane . Ceci, Bouchard who is a double agent playing for both FL & Edmonton.
It should also be noted that evander kane is injured as well and could possibly be out of Edmonton’s lineup. He’s been utterly useless all series and has underperformed all playoffs.
The Panthers need to pounce at the Oilers from start to finish, forechecks as if their life depend on it leaving no room for the Oilers to create any offence. If the Cats can lead the game they can rest Barkov and give him some slacks

Whatever, the Panthers were flopping all over the ice, who really thought Barkov was done
Sugarman Rodriguez
Dry-stats-l ain't getting suspended. The NHL wants him to be Messier 2.0 too badly. Plus they can't handle the fact that GRETZKY gave Sasha props.
Ngl i count on the oilers to win game 3 or 4 so the panthers lift the cup at Sunrise and dont get caught in the crossfire when Edmonton begins to riot
They only suspend journeymen, not stars
Edmonton in 6.
How about Tkachuk elbow McDavid in the face and call it even
Watching 19 lift a cup on Oiler Ice would be fantastic
Sorry not a Canucks fan !
Harsh thoughts on Nurse being back in the lineup…but absolutely warranted. How does he still get ice time?

5-3 Edmonton
Dirty play! lol barely contact! It’s Stanley Cup Final! It’s Hockey Pussy!
The coach and the oilers are trying to be politically correct by having nurse play it's shameful and it's going to cost them the cup
Let them play Leon will get hit hard regardless

How do you call ANY N.H.L. player "not a good player". Oh yeah, you're another "expert" pod-caster.
I hope the Florida Panthers brought there health care card
I am a Canadian but this year go panthers.
Flood game
Nurse is the Cole of the Oilers
Florida needs to go up 3-0 to Edmonton.
I can smell a big game for Florida. Winning this game with a huge score would be the perfect payback for the Barkov hit.
