I told you guys nobody is stopping the Cats. I want Edmonton to win the cup, but they ain't beating the Panthers

Well boyos I couldn’t help myself. About to hop on a flight to Edmonton for game 6. Went to game 1 of the LA series and it was awesome but with this being a possible series clincher on a Sunday the city should be a nonstop party all day.

Can’t wait. Just need ticket prices to drop a little more so I don’t have to go hook to be able to afford decent seats.

I'll never count out Connor and Leon. But yea, you are probably right.

My hope is they realize that their window to win a cup is closing and go supernova. It could happen.

Same. Either that or they keep losing in the playoffs, McDavid gets fed up, and when FA hits in 2 years he comes to Buffalo where he should have been drafted and we win a Cup.

That's pretty laughable but I can dream lol

McJesus breaking containment

Play
La
Bamba

Such a weird nervous energy throughout the game. But god damn was it loud the last 5 mins

That McDavid goal though.

Remember when everyone said the Oil wouldn't even make the playoffs? Looking like they preheated the oven to bake at the right time.

Will be a very interesting final. Could see the Oil doing a better job breaking through the Cat's D than the Rags but could also see the Cat's forecheck wearing down the Oil more than it did the Rags. In all fairness I rarely watch west coast games and have no idea, but I think of the Oilers as pretty soft.

They're pretty good at adapting to a physical game if need be but yeah they're a skill team first and foremost.

Connor and Leon aren't soft by any means and Kane has the most hits of anyone coming into the series. Big thing is though if you get into games where each team is getting 3+ powerplays, Edmonton has a massive special teams advantage over anyone right now. We all know about their powerplay but their PK has killed 28 straight.

PK merchants? They outscored Dallas PP with their PK. Never seen anything like that. This series just seems like the teams started to wear down a little so they dialed back the physical play. The early part of the LA series was physical so they can do it but yeah definitely not their usual game.

I’m a wee bit hungover this morning waiting for my flight but totally worth it. My ears are still ringing a bit. Almost surreal given the oilers were at the bottom of the league last November. Would make for a hell of a storyline winning the cup after that.

Go CATS
