    I wonder when the last time the rooting interests appeared this lopsided was?
    (And, if what appears to be the sentiment here (huge majority rooting for Oil so Canada can be winners again in NHL)

    Maybe since everyone was sick of the Red Wings?  :lol:

    I think Florida is the deeper, more aggressive, end to end better team.  They are just so relentless and create so many high quality, scoring chances.  However, the Oilers really seem to have made a commitment to defense in the last few series, so this gives them a puncher's chance.  

    End of the day, I think Florida wins in five, but I am hoping I'm wrong.

    I think Florida wins, losing last year gives them
    some edge 

    hope I’m wrong

    The collection of talent of the top 6 (including McJesus) is really impressive.  Skinner will need to play out of his mind and who knows how Nurse will play.  The Blue line play will determine the series, in my opinion.  I think we know what we will get from Florida because they played with such consistency all season and in the playoffs.

    McDavid's goal last night was just sick.

    5 straight years a team from Florida has made the Cup final.  Guess expansion to the south worked well.

    And this has to be the largest distance to travel by two Cup teams ever right?

    Hope Edmonton can pull it out but feeling Florida wins this one in 5 or 6.  Florida has been so good defensively and has been the best team throughout this playoffs.

    I have to say I'm angrier about losing to the 1996 Florida Panthers than losing the 1985 & 1987 Stanley Cup Finals to the greatest dynasty in modern sports. The Panthers were a mediocre team constantly committing uncalled penalties with Florida men & women throwing 10,000 plastic rats on the ice very time they scored (seriously, no penalty for that either?).

    Canada's Stanley Cup drought is just unthinkable.

    Yes that was a horrible series loss by the Flyers.  Put that in the #SadPhilly thread (although that thread is going to hurt with all your examples)

    I don’t know how in the hell the oilers pulled that off, but I’m glad they did.

    pretty sure other than actual panthers fans, everyone else will be pulling for edmonton.
    sounds about right. I say Oilers in 6

    Goucher worked Bruins' radio play by play for 17 years (Also grew up in Rhode Island and graduated from Boston University) before going to Lost Wages Nevada, I think he'll figure out the accent.

    Goucher is the best play by play guy out there. 

    I would be psyched if the Bruins got him back.

    skinner could be this year’s adin hill. I think hill started as #3 on the VGK depth chart and carried them to last year’s cup.

    I was curious if I was attracted to a woman once. So I went on a date to a hockey game with a hot chick. She kept telling me to shut up.
