This is hilarious. SAS can't name 3 Panthers players for sure. Maybe 2 max. SAS doesn't even know what shape a puck is, yet he's here as an expert teaching me about hockey🤣
Florida just out played the oilers in physicality and play making. When a team has to play their top players for 60 minutes a game. Cause their other lines can’t score or defend. That’s why Florida won. I hope Connor gets to another team that has players around him that can help him get a cup next year.
Ekblad and Bennett and re-signing longterm in the next couple weeks then we’ll get some fresh bodies to replace Nosek and Schmidt who are likely leaving for raises in FA. The offseason after that will be fun when Bob re-signs for half of what he’s making now to bring in another piece. The Panthers dynasty is what I always envisioned, glad it’s hear!
PK is correct. Florida way deeper. That was the issue
Panthers is a family, they do everything for eachother, thats comes from Barkov. Plus he is the best forward to defend. He makes other people better. I dont see that same in McDavid, he is the best what comes to speed and tachinacally aspects of the game, but he dosent lead, he´s teammates are there to just hoping McDavid do the magic. He cant get everybody feel thet they are needed. Best player is not automatcly the best leader.
Oilers have great players, I believe in my humble opinion that it comes down to a leadership issue on the ice, on the bench and in management. Panthers have strong players, but they also have VERY strong leaders on the ice and bench, I don't know about management. My humble 2-cents.
Panthers have a team, meanwhile the Oilers only have 2, maybe 3 players.
Oilers fan here, it’s not even fair how good Florida is. I will not be surprised if they win again next year
You take McDavid and Draisaitl out of the equation and Oilers don't even touch playoffs. That should tell you everything you need to know about Oilers and how correct Subban is.
ESPN needs new faces who wants to here these bums talk
Steven A Sucks
Stephen A gettin payed 70 million to only know about basketball😂
When Corey Perry has the same number of goals (1) as McDavid in the Finals, you have no chance.
I'm an oilers fan, and I'm tired of the excuses every year. He is not a two way player. Barkov shut him down 2 years in a row, so how the hell can you be the best player.
The whole, Connor is the best player on the planet routine is laughable. The best player on the planet doesnt get shut down. Did MJ get shut down? Nope. Mcdavid is not the guy. Crosby evolved, other superstars have evolved to win the cup. Not him, not ever.
Subban is good tv. A great counter-example against those nba twins who are boring af.
1:00 shows you why Hockey is not on first take. Just look at his face.
SAS, just shut up, eh. I regret watching this. No wonder they got the TNT crew for NBA cause the rest of ESPN stinks. If it weren’t for McAfee and the new hire Schrager, there would be no reason to watch this catastrophe of a once long time ago good sports channel. Now it’s just these idiots passively running a race bait show all the while beating up on even each other. Just terrible.
Mcoverated and Leon no title
I'm so tired of hearing how great Mcdavid is… Panthers after game 2 exposed him as a 1 trick pony. Dude disappeared in the finals. Call him McCasper
Big Red Machine. Go Cats!
Please keep Stephen (A)hole away from hockey. He knows nothing about it. What's next Spike Lee sitting behind the Rangers bench.
Great players rise in championships, McDavid fell like a fall leaf. Dried up and worthless.
The less Molly talks during a hockey segment, the better it is. PK is knowledgeable and Mad Dog knows some hockey.
Let’s Go Cats! 🔥🔥🔥🐆🏆🏆
0:10 in is a lie though…. Tampa didn't face the SAME team back to back. They beat Dallas in 20 and Montreal in 21.. NOR did the Penguins: Sharks in 16 and Preds in 17
I would only watch that show if they talk about hockey the NBA sucks
I didn't hear a single flower given to the Panthers; Just bitching about the Oilers front office not being as good.
Edmonton was too nice a team…Too nice gets you nowhere in NHL playoffs…Nice will get you three rounds, but not win a SCF…
Greatness IS measured in championships NOT individual awards… Bottom line mcdavid will NEVER WIN a cup
Stephen A! With a great take on hockey! – from northern Ontario
over paying for superstars that cant perform
I was born in the St. Pete Tampa area and raised in South Florida stayed in the City of Sunrise off Sunset Strip and also worked @ that arena by Sawgrass Mills Mall in 2004 so I'm A ⚡ and Panthers fan. The Stanley cup runs through the state of Florida 💯‼️
STOP LETTING STEPHEN A DO ANYTHING WITH HOCKEY YOU ALL LOOK 1000x DUMBER WHEN HE OPENS HIS MOUTH ABOUT HOCKEY
Subban locker room cancer😅
look at the point production you take McDavid, Leon and perry outta the series its a sweep for the panthers
Stephen A is new to this. Dosen't he understand you are not allowed to hold McDavid accountable it's borderline illegal😭
Guys talking most of the time about McDavid. Oilers will still be better than an average team without him. Barkov, Zito etc right decision are the real reason Mcdavid didn’t won the cup
