The Official NHL 2023-2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

Oilers-Panthers is a SCF matchup nobody was expecting. Still at least 1 more game to go in both series, anything can still happen, but last time Oilers were in the finals they lost to a southeast team, time for revenge against another?

That was the strangest elimination game I've ever seen.

The OILERS of all teams park the bus and basically don't show up on offense except for two power plays, they get completely dominated 5 on 5 all game, outshot 35-10...

....and it WORKS?? They WIN???????

Canada against the American Southeast:

2004: Tampa Bay over Calgary
2006: Carolina over Edmonton
2021: Tampa Bay over Montreal

Time for part 4!

Panthers over Oilers in 6

My only complaint with the finals schedule, Game 7 is on a Monday when Game 6 is a Friday.

Meaningless if it doesn't happen, but I guess they prefer the hype of the media talking about it all Monday over doing a Sunday night game 7?

So you think they should go head to head with an NBA Finals Game 7 on Sunday night?

Never realized NBA Game 7 was that same night. Thought it would've been earlier starting before the SCF.

Game 6 in Edmonton on a Friday night. Oilers win that night and it'll be insane in Edmonton all weekend especially.

The McDavid goal was terrific. The rest of the game not so much unless you're an Oilers fan.

It was anti-hockey at it's worst. I had flashbacks to Jacques Lemaire's New Jersey Devils.
