Can’t take the foot of the GAS ! … you can’t play to not lose that’s what happened in the 2 period !
This one STINK coach … how can you play that conservative on the 2 period man ? … I don’t understand
Wasted opportunity
This series should have ended tonight. The Panthers should have won every game so far. Blew the two games they lost.
Played hard, slowed down, Oilers took control. In OT, could have gone either way. Next up.
Big bob wasn't good tonight I know the players would never say anything bad and thats ok but we need a better performance in game 5 if we got any shot
They once again had the losing strategy of playing defense during the entire second period. That was their mistake in game 2 and they did it again during the second period tonight.
… appreciate the diplomacy Coach , and certainly Cats had some tremendous looks … but they weren’t converting to goals … some sitting back AGAIN , NO ONE PHUXXING CROWDING the O’s Net … they Os park themselves ALL the time in front of Bob … hell they almost scored b4 their winning bounce … which was really played horribly… how and why you phuxxing DON’T LEVEL Drai coming down the lane … and he shovels it … 1 handed .. it’d be a joke if it were not the OT winning tally … not good , a bad loss , had them by the throat and didn’t choke them …luv the HOCKEY yeah your right a lot of great talent … rather have the kill , then talk about the talent… now best ofc3 and 2 in ED… going to be tuff , definitely need G5 win and a wrap it back home G6 … just saying .
Off the post isn’t in the net
Why everybody silent about f..king refs just stop whistling on panters after 1st period? Bribed league want that #97 win the cup.
Brobovsky is the guy saving the Panthers, they are done. They are the dirtiest team like a bunch of gorilla skating and will lose this series to Edmonton. Panthers hockey is so boring to watch it’s like watching wrestling. They have no plays, no refine hockey just push push with their weight. They are tired now and will be a walk over.
Why so serious
Its mainly Paul's fault for playing soft in the second. You finish it in the second not play hide the chicken.
Florida Chokers.
Crazy to see how delusional all you Cat fans are
Rough seeing that 3 goal lead disappear. I liked how close the game was, and even thought the cats looked good in ot only for it to end so fast. Went straight to sleep after that. What a bummer
June 20th Summer Solstice Game Seven First Day Of Summer…Hockey is a Four Season Event…Remember snow, ice and wind…Remember a traditional Winter Sport. If there was a fifth season Hockey would be played then too…Hockey needs no calendar it would seem.
Let's win game 5 at Edmonton and win the Stanley Cup at home again!
I think the league wants it to get to 7 regardless of who wins. All these gambling apps have a big stake in these games.
Lets go Oilers !!!!!!!!!
I can’t believe how winny these Florida fans are over the refs same fans blaming someone else
Hey coach, the Sam Benett off the bar was a save by Pickard btw! He stopped enough of it with the gloves
His voice sounded different.
