He's really, really good - no doubt. But I AM a bit salty that he overtook Sid and Ovi's post-season goal records in salary cap era. Same point I've made to others with Bouch overtaking Coffey's record, and Connor nearing Gretz and Lemieux ==> Oilers stats are really inflated. They're no doubt an offensive prowess, but these names (except McD) are nowhere near the caliber of talent and skill as that which they're surpassing. It's a new high-scoring era in the NHL. I hope people will remember to put more weight into era-corrected stats.

[@K8thn76]

Thanks to Dallas for stretch passing on the oil. They learned how to defend it and then started using it on Florida. Great defense against a heavy forecheck. Then if Florida uses it usual bullying tactics. The Oil PP will destroy any team. Plus everyone dismisses our 3rd and 4th line as no depth. Those are the guys on the PK for Edmonton and one could argue they won the series against Dallas and Vancouver. They don’t get enough credit. It’s always McDavid and Drai but for good reason.

It was meant to be, like how it’s meant to be for the Oilers to win the cup on Monday 🏆

[@wesjones6370]

I wondered when they challenged that goal if deflating the Panthers wasn't the strategy. Don't challenge, and it's 2-1. Lose the challenge, and it's 2-1 and you go on the penalty kill that's been 99% against the Panthers, and has more short handed goals than they do power play goals. Win the challenge, and you suck the entire life out of the team. From a strategic point, the reward of challenging was astronomically higher than the risk...It was a brilliant calculated move to go for it.

[@allanshpeley4284]

This is exactly what I've been saying. It was undoubtedly the best strategic move taking everything into account. Florida's coach said he never would have challenged it. Sure, but he also doesn't have Edmonton's PK.

[@37BopCity]

The best analysis I've seen so far is Mark Messier and PK Subban yesterday discussing Game 6 and Florida's problems. Both agree Oilers now have the momentum to go all the way, and it's mental breakdowns that is costing Panthers heavily. Messier goes on to explain the difficulties Panthers now have in deciding what kind of game they need to play for Game 7. If anybody would know, it's him.

Listen the writing was on the wall when Panthers struggled to beat a mediocre Bruins team in six games…Bruins would’ve won that series had they scored more goals…Panthers got off light with an unimpressive effort…Go BRUINS!

I agree with most in saying that it'll be REALLY hard for the Oilers to screw this up, unLESS the Cats resume their minimal-mistake and disciplined style of play from Games 1-3 due to now actually having something at stake. But if that's not a factor, they're absolutely cooked. Almost feel bad for them, but they did it to themselves for a significant portion of it.

It has been coach Paul Maurice's changed to how they play that has led to the disarray. He himself admitted going into game 5 that they switched to more lateral passes in the neutral zone as a strategy to shaken loose the defending Oilers, but the Oilers are too quick to pick off passes in these scenarios.

The Oilers were knocked out by the eventual Cup Champs the last 2 playoffs and people still think they have no business playing in game 7. The goal was offside and the NHL got it right that's all fans around the league have ever asked for.

[@MikeHarvey-ol7xr]

Exactly. I was pleasantly surprised they got the call correct. I despise the "conclusive to overturn" stance for protecting ref egos. The standard should be; if you just saw the play for the first time, what is the correct call.

[@mb7196]

Not logical. This team is not those teams. This team should be judged on what it did this year. And this year they were sloppy and inconsistent. They have every business being in the game 7 because they've earned it, but it doesn't change the fact that they continuously played with fire and put themselves into situations they could have lost. Their structure and discipline has been suspect all year long. They've simply managed to overcome it. Both things can be true. It's impressive for sure, but the sentiment of people who think "they have no business", while not correct, is based in reality.

You are all welcome. Because the day i decided to finally start watching hockey again was the day they started kicking Floridas ass again. Ive listened to or watched every game since and will continue to watch Mondays game so we can bring the cup home. Once again you are welcome.

[@vajrasiddhi]

Great analysis, but I would add that the script began to get flipped in the third period of game 3. That’s when the Oilers began finding ways to score on Bobrovsky, but arguably Skinner and defence didn’t give his team the chance to win. Then this momentum carried over to the blowout in game 4. And also, games 4-7 throughout the playoffs: Skinner is 10-0. Besides these points, the Oilers largely dominated Games 1 & 3 and have actually only had one bad game which was game 2. Great analysis. One of the better channels talking about this series in my books.👍

[@pepecopter]

Absolutely savage comeback, I want game 7 to go to OT for the drama. It's been too good

[@mellow-jello]

Glad to see the analysis behind what I had surmised with intuition. The Xs & Os showed how Edmonton's youth was capitalized on the Panther's open looks gave. The joy of the young team contributing to the offensive power, while giving Connor the night off inspired the joy needed to sustain them as they charge back into the series. Cap off the boyhood love of the game with a Cup in Canada. Go Oilers.

[@lup1up]

I asked for 7 games, but really didn't expect it to happen this way LOL. Let's be real, who's surprised that Oilers are about to win it? They've done the two Cup-guaranteeing moves a team can do: fire your coach and hire a new one mid-season, and have a major failure that they've overcome as a team.

[@715creeks]

I always appreciate your breakdowns of these games. But I wanted to shed light on your editing skills too, which probably doesn’t get mentioned enough. Simple tools like desaturating the video to highlight older games is a super simplistic tool that creates further quality to these videos. It certainly sets your videos apart from others. Thank you for covering this season, and looking forward to the next from you! Go Oilers!

[@edenisburning]

I'm a Wings fan and have done my fair share of crapping on this guy, but I think Kenny Holland deserves some credit for taking the Oilers from perpetually disappointing to being one win away from the Cup. For example.. The whole year he got shit for bringing in Brown. Then you see the Oilers PK in the playoffs, and it makes Holland look like a genius.

[@otaviofrnazario]

The end of Ken Holland in Detroit wasn't good, but he is a winning GM. His term simply worn out, "got tired". This is different than forgetting how to win

[@jeremyhewitt2637]

Ekholm was best player on the ice. How did hockey come psychology miss this. Please do a video highlighting this guy. Ekholm was a force, felt like he won every puck battle and drove the puck up this ice

[@TH-tl6sy]

Lol that's cute. "Fan since 2016 and seen it all" Sorry, I shouldn't laugh and I am glad there is a new generation that is getting this experience. I love the passion I am seeing from all the kids. I was at a 21st birthday party watching the Oilers win their 1st cup. (They won it at Nassau coliseum not Northlands so night started as a house party) I've been an Oilers fan since 1979. Hence why I laugh when you say you've seen it all.

[@Motleymick]

And..... the oilers fly home without the cup!

[@TH-tl6sy]

@@Motleymick he's getting closer to seeing it all. Not as harsh as a game 7 4-4 tie with 6min left and having your starting goalie tear his knee apart and an AHL back up come in. And maybe when you have seen enough you won't pathetically troll some poor kid experiencing his first stanley cup run just to put salt in his wounds. Get out of your mothers basement, grow up and get a life. :)

As a Panthers fan I really am happy to see the Oilers make history but I'm sickened that their opponents are making zero effort now. I feel so terribly for Bob. He can only stand on his head for so long as an older goalie and his team is doing next to nothing to back him up, it's pathetic. He deserves better. They better put Stolarz in the net for the beginning of 7, but at this point it almost doesn't matter. Congrats, Oilers.

Everyone talks about the 3-0 lead for Florida...... But they srent talking about how the Oilers totally outplayed Florida in 2 of those games

Psychology: As a Panther only 1 game away from winning the Cup, what is it like to go down, game-by-game, to the edge of losing it all?

Several shorthanded goals by Oilers during these playoffs have been so fun to watch …..should be an epic game 7!
