2-1 Florida after 2. Good game so far, although 2nd period didn’t sizzle like the 1st. Edmonton will be dangerous in the 3rd but will Bobrovsky slam the door?

Panthers did a phenomenal job of denying Edmonton any shots from inside the circles in the 2nd despite the Oilers commanding possession.

This is a damn good game seven.

I find myself rooting for Edmonton. Yuk..

Florida has hardly gotten a shot on net this period, but damn what an exciting period of hockey it has been. If you don't like this, then you don't like hockey.

Sorry Kenny. You’re in Canada now.

LOL - worst looking 6 on 5 you'll see in a long time.

Yup...that was exciting. Congrats to Florida for not totally choking.

That was a tremendous Game 7. 
 

Knoblauch kept in Skinner until surprisingly late. 

[buddha]

haha canada.

No surprise that McDavid won the Conn Smythe.

[lordstanley]

Kenny should have traded Draisaitl for someone who would score in the SCF. Fail Kenny.

Good on the NHL for doing their job instead of what would have been easy in front of the Florida crowd.

It was a good game 7. Not great, but entertaining. Was disappointing to see Edmonton so gassed for the last few minutes.

Maybe Detroit will be back in, say, 2029?

Shame for Edmonton that it took them until game 4 to figure out to go upstairs on Bob.   They were stymied many times by him on breakaways trying low in the first few games.

Not any particular Panthers fan, but I love the way they attack so fearlessly on defense, all pressure all the time, never conceding an inch of ice anywhere. Of course you have to have the speed to do it, but they've built the team for it.

It is amusing to me that Suter has now been bought out twice by two different teams

It's official....Kenny and the Oilers have parted ways

I wonder if part of it is because Kenny didn't want to be there when it's time for the Draisaitl and McDavid decisions come up, but probably just my own conspiracy theory.  From the rumblings I see it seems like there are going to be teams who want to bring Holland in, good luck to them.

i thought kenny would retire at this point.

im sure the players union would like him to continue handing out ridiculous contracts with no movement clauses to average players...

Semi-interesting even if it wasn't the second rounder the Wings sent them.  Probably kills any pipe dreams in regards to future considerations being involved with the Sharks' and Wings' mid first round picks.

[slothfacekilla]

The Sharks didn't extend Zadina a qualifying offer, talk about fumbling the bag betting on himself and terminating the Wings deal.

 

If I ever start feeling too good about myself I'll bring my Zadina jersey out of the closet to remind myself that I am a moron.

Looks like it’s time for Vegas to start retooling the group that got them on the map.   Marchesault, Carrier, Stephenson, Martinez all headed other places today.    I’d say the bill always comes due but knowing these guys they’ll find a way to make a splash signing somewhere.
