Adversity Has Arrived, is the Third time a Charm to Finally Win The Stanley Cup?

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Nich Fairbanks(@prudentia0) for another edition of Fairbanks Friday. The two discuss the mindset of a 3-2 series lead and how the Panthers spoke about being up 3-2 and that their expectations were that it would go this far, regardless of the Panthers starting the series with a 3-0 lead. The Panthers also made some changes to their lineup in practice as Oliver Ekman-Larsson was placed on power play one in place of Brandon Montour. What different dimension does OEL bring? There's also another change with Nick Cousins being placed on the fourth line in place of Kyle Okposo. Can the Panthers get the needed spark from their fourth line? How dominant has Connor McDavid really been? We provide one stat is truly telling. We discuss this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

This is going to probably be a weird comment, but yesterday I had a super weird dream. It's extremely rare that I have any sort of recollection of any dreams I might have, but what I distinctly remember is watching the next game of the Stanley Cup. I turned on the TV and there was 3 minutes left in the game (for whatever reason I guess I missed the first 57 minutes 😂). The Panthers were winning by a score of 7-3. Except the weird thing was, the TV graphic didn't say "Florida" on it; instead it said "Calgary." And in my dream I remember being confused at that but then I figured it was because there were players on Florida that had some history with Calgary. So yeah super random but I guess if Florida happens to win by a score of 7-3 tomorrow night, maybe I should look for a new profession because I might have some undiscovered superpowers or something😂

[@John-jd8vx]

take your psychic feelings seriously. They are real, just hard to figure out sometimes

[@kikomale]

Yes it was your dream only.

[@soflo549]

Well the night before game 5 I had a very distinct dream that I was in my season ticketed seat and Matthew Tkachuk scored a breakaway goal to make it 5-1 and the place was going nuts. I even went as far as to bet on it and look what happened. So respectfully you may want to go take your dream and shove it.

[@davidriedy5977]

@@soflo549 fair enough lmao, just figured I'd share it

[@jacquelineclement4193]

Hi. It's now the morning of June 22 and game 6 is over. I LOVE your podcast. I'm Canadian but the Cats are my second-favourite team since last years playoffs. HABS are my liftetime team and always will be (imagine the suffering over these rebuild years!!!). Anyway, so last nights game (6) happened many hours ago and I've been checking here for your fantastic DAILY podcast! And wondering, when is it coming? I know it's be another tough one for you as 3 losses in a row, Edmonton's amazing execution of adjustments and Florida's being absolutely lost with still no credible actual adjustment). I do watch many other NHL podcasts, though never Oilers ones so I doubly rely on you this playoffs as the others finals team. Please get one up soon. You make my day. Only time you won't is when my HABS are playing you in meaningful games. As a 3rd-year rebuilding team, that'll be this autumn, if not, the following. WE ARE COMING!!!!! Sloowwwly, lol.

[@pierredupont1096]

Like the lineup change. This is a very beatable Edmonton team, just stick to the plan and don't allow any good looks. Good luck Cats, counting on your to save Canada from a McDavid debacle.

[@CamFamX2]

This aged poorly but what do you expect from a Frenchie

[@kimpinkham5804]

Two took 6 games to beat Boston and rangers game 6 today skinner no swayman or Igor btw

[@MrBoywonder1985]

Exactly, they bested two of the best young goaltenders in the league. They can beat Skinner if they just play their 5 on 5 game.

[@lilgrasshoppah]

You can’t slump in the Stanley Cup Final, and expect to win. You can’t give up 8 goals (and lose by 7), and expect to win. You can’t allow a shorthanded goal on consecutive games… and expect to win. I am very surprised at the panic in that dressing room. Maurice is not earning his pay.

[@sabref4i290]

That would be the last three

[@alexkatsanos8475]

You can have a mini slump. But it is a combo of fatigue and sub Venza goaltending from Bob. Thing is I think every body in both locker rooms think the Oilers can win it. I mean it’s not “if we play our game, it’s “we have to raise our game” and I question their ability to do that.

[@matteodilullo2795]

Bob is playing like crap I would start stolie but pomo has no balls

[@MrBoywonder1985]

I mean, it's all doom and gloom! They've defeated the Oilers all year, including 3 in a row in the playoffs. They can beat this team. Panthers are due for a win and should close out the series in 6, like most analysts predicted.

[@Hurricanemanwx]

I love this ASMR version of LOP. Lol

[@LockedOnPanthersNHL]

This is why it’s ASMR today. 🤣 x.com/lo_flapanthers/status/1803979509776916788?s=46

[@Hurricanemanwx]

​​@@LockedOnPanthersNHLgrateful to still be talking about playoff hockey this late in the season and watching your videos on KZbin

[@MikePowery45]

Was it game 1 the Bennett hit on mcdavid ? We need hits on him. Let them retaliate and get pens

[@catherineross8360]

Dude….2 man team? What games you watching?

[@user-hf6by2uq6j]

Bob has been broken. Panthers are tight. The Oilers cannot be turned back. Too late.

[@matteodilullo2795]

If cats lose zito will make some major changes not even rino is safe

[@John-jd8vx]

Edmonton a 2 man team. hahaha. outa here
