Pre-Game Report: Edmonton Oilers vs Florida Panthers | SCF Game 5

Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers once again look to stave off elimination and force a game 6 back in Edmonton as they take on Aleksander Barkov and the Florida Panthers tonight at 6PM MDT. The #oilers routed the #panthers by a score of 8-1 in game 4, with every forward except for Derek Ryan getting on the scoresheet for the Oilers. Sergei Bobrovsky has given up 8 goals in his last 84 minutes of play, so if you're the Oilers you have to hope you've figured something out and try to get to him as early as possible in game 5. Stuart Skinner played very well in game 4, stopping 32 of 33 shots in the win. The Oilers will be relying on him to string together a similar performance tonight as they look to bring the series back to Edmonton on Friday. There is much to discuss so sit back, relax, and enjoy today's pre-game report! 🧡💙🧡💙 #nhl

Tonight, both teams are going to show us who they are.

[@SirVTropic]

My supersititionness has vastly increased during the last two days 😂 After seeing a couple of strategical analyses of game 4, it's really admirable how the Oilers exposed the Panthers

[@gperezniners4949]

Yeah and the Panthers exposed you the first three games as we went up 3-0.

[@craigcervo4384]

You mean they relied on Babrovsky to bail them out.

I would love to see more hockey as a fan of the sport. But as a fan of the panthers I don’t think my body can handle the stress if we don’t close it out tonight 😂

[@zfouleur]

It's hot as hell here in northwestern Florida 😂😂😂

[@ryanstreett4450]

sup Austin, Oil fan in southwest FL.. if you’re going to ever visit (dont go to miami) & do so in march when it’s 85 and sunny everyday. now it’s either too hot, raining, or both. usually both. not to mention we’re about to start 4 months of hurricane roulette. rather be in Alberta right now, maybe i’ll catch a plane back with the guys for game 6. GO OILERS!!!

[@chrisdaddy4637]

Hopefully it’s not the same as the NBA Finals. Just a blow out from beginning to end

What’s up homies?! I believe!! Let’s go oilers let’s go!!! You can dooooooo iiiiiitttt

Let’s goooo get that dub. 👍

[@sajji]

(As a Cats fan) If we cant adapt to them leaving a forward at the blueline for the stretch during our forecheck we are heading back to Edmonton.. That led to so many odd man rushes we couldnt even contest.

[@gregsgoogle2947]

Truth!! If Panthers can adjust then games are back to being decided by goalies. Oilers weak spot.

[@Wabin22]

You guys seem to have forgotten how the Panthers shut down Edmonton in 3 games. The question is if Florida bounce back, which is highly likely, how are Edmonton going to handle it?

[@plazmarevenge2098]

3-2 Oilers and headed to a game 7 OT Oilers win

[@Theknight_star]

It's going to depend a lot on how Florida responds and changes up their style in response from last game. Obviously you stick to a winning formula but at this point Edmonton HAS to be flexible in order to win. The team needs to be able to switch their game plan and style between periods and Knoblauch and co need to be observing Florida and the style they are playing like a hawk. We'll see how well Florida adapts from last game...

[@SignOfTheTimes008]

Sometimes I find there are team triangles. Years ago, penguins were good against bruins, weak against flyers. Flyers were good against Penguins but weak against Boston.

[@BlaiseMonton]

My top secret 1.0 unorthodox recipe of winning: score one goal, then take the 5 biggest Edmonton guys to hermetically surround Edmonton goal, just outside the crease. Recipe 2.0: score just one more goal than the Panthers

[@FelixWheatfield]

Edmonton adjusted to the Panthers, now it's up to the Panthers to adjust right back. Good luck to everyone, but GO CATS!

[@Farrell_instincts]

5-3 Oilers, The 5th be an empty netter.......... Scored by brown

[@Farrell_instincts]

So, was 5 - 3 with a empty netter But brown OPENED THE FUCKING SCORING That's a win in my books Wish I put down 150$ with som parle's LMAO

[@gregsgoogle2947]

We need a line on how many embellishments the Panthers will fool the refs on. I’m going to set the line at 1.5 for the over/under.

[@jjcaron72]

Oilers. Score first. Gotta withstand Panthers attack in the first 5 min.

[@Jessylll]

They really haven’t scored a PP goal. It was a 5 on 3.

[@Breaky0self44]

[@homielander5924]

That’s a PP goal

[@nablaphysics]

@@homielander5924 by definition yes. But they’re highlighting the fact they have yet to score 5-4 which is their bread and butter. Who doesn’t score on a 2 minute 5-3….

[@sukhjitsingh8269]

I already know Oilers are going to win tonight. Florida is just too tired - Mcdavid has 6 point in the last 4 periods. The Cats need 1 good game!

Oilers win?

here after the game, were you actually given a script 😂

[@gperezniners4949]

Keep thinking that if you win the first period it’s a good thing that it will favor the Oilers. They get even better in the 2 and 3. Let’s go Panthers!! 🐆

Have a look at the video when bark off realizes that McDavid😊 heading for net Bouchard with puck scoring chance and suing and that's when Sasha pulls out the acting classes they're desperate when will do anything to get an advantage even taking the integrity of the game out and acting like poor losers

[@snowcrossfan]

@@Keith-shit75 Just like Crysitil did on that dirty hit. Don't act like either team wont try to use the rules to get an upper hand. Unlike you, i dont use words like losers and put down people gaming the system, all i know is your team is down 2 games and the team i cheer for is 1 win away from the cup. Maybe your team should have shown up better in games 1-3, no matter the reasons or insults you want to throw out. Each team has done some dirty things but it ends tonight.

[@Keith-shit75]

We will see who dictates this game but as for the first four games refs are definitely a big part of it the acting has not been successful on the Panthers part but if they keep trying it'll get worse for them bark off such a p**** loser for even trying man up big Time faker for a big time loser
