Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl were both held off the scoresheet and were a combined -8 in Game 6. How frustrated were the Oilers’ stars after the loss? TSN Oilers reporter Ryan Rishaug joins SC with Jay Onrait to give his thoughts, and share if the better team won the Cup. Rishaug also discusses why Kris Knoblauch couldn’t figure out the right formula against the Panthers.

McDavid looks resigned. Panthers are good. You have to be better than them to beat them. The reason Oilers lost isn't that Panthers are good, the reason is that Oilers aren't good enough. McDavid looks like there was no way of beating them. There is.
Let that dim witted lazy Bouchard go. He’s useless
Defense win championships.
Suck it, Oilers fans! McJesus my ass!
Oilers were overmatched in both years. Last year should have been a sweep, 5 games at most. This year looked like a 6-game sweep. Oilers hugely lucky to win any games in this series. Knoblauch did a poor job this series — Skinner never should have seen the ice after Game 3. It's a series; once the other team has your goalie figured out, you can't just throw him back out there. In his defense, Pickard is pretty bad as well. Can't put your two best players on one line in the playoffs — you make the other team's coach's job twice as easy.
MsDavid wants to sign with Florida!!
First, congratulations to the Panthers. As an Oiler fan, we'll see you next year.
Pay nurse more maybe lol
And yet somehow Montreal beat Florida all 4 times this year.🤯
Being based in a state like Florida is obviously a competitive advantage that should be addressed.
Oilers didn't believe how bad they were
Game 6 and 7 last year , McDavid zero pts. Game 6 this year Zero Pts. Florida is the best all round 200 ft team since the 80 to 83 Islanders. Florida has 4 lines and 6 D deep and a GOALIE.
Rangers take note : that's what a Cup team looks like
Bouchard world class ? Ya world class at giving the puck away maybe.
Florida had four working lines we had two……..Florida played their youth, Oilers hate their youth…….Florida has a goaltender, Oilers have two backups! Florida has a coach that lets his players play, we have a coach that mangles lines by the minute…….enough said!
The emotion more than anything crumbled these guys. Same thing as last year. They just didnt handle it and it broke them. Stick slamming, coasting, not getting to the bench?!? I mean in a normal NHL game thats crazy, the final? Man oh man
Oilers were worse then the leafs. They never showed up for the last 2 games. They got whipped in the last 2 games, plus superstars McDavid and Draisaitl did nothing in the last 2 games. And McDavid only one goal in the finals and this guy wants to be the goat. Let's hope the Oilers don't get back for a third time just to get beat again.
Pathetic effort. I hate being an Oilers fan.
And the Cup stays where it should be…..in the good old U.S.A.!!!!!!!!!!!
McDavid is like a foreskin: disappears when it gets hard.
The Panthers were even better this year. The Oilers weren't as good as last year.
As a Stars fan, I thought McDavid and Draisatl were just straight up unstoppable. Boy did Florida show me how it's done
To bad for the oilers and maybe get rid of kane he showed that he is a poor excuse for a hockey player for not coming out of the dressing room to join the hand shake line on the ice very poor sport do yourself a favor Edmonton get rid of the bum
Stop it with the no state tax crap. No one wanted to come to Sunrise for the decades we sucked.
Did the better team win? How does this guy have a job?
Barkov was playing with a profound laceration on his right hand. He was 50% at best. Image.
The Panthers upgraded their roster while the Oilers downgraded theirs.
In order to win more championships Canada has bid for expansions in NBA WNBA MLB NFL MLS UFL no excuse if they want championships in Canada
