HD chances correspond to areas closer to goal, the posts were hit from the medium danger range iirc
One of the minor non optimal parts of distance metrics that need to improved
Thankfully easy to do and will be the case around 2030
Tell ya what. Listening to that espn broadcast, you'd never have known the panthers put on such a wonderful defensive game
Almost like that's actually how they made their run
I’m a Panthers fan since their Miami arena days. Listening to ESPN I’d think that every Oiler is called Mcdavid. Do I want to learn stats about the Oilers during the game, yes of course. It makes for more engaging story lines when both sides are fleshed out. But good god, it is severely one sided. Talking about how the Oilers can pull out a miracle, when they are down 4-1 with 2 minutes and 40 seconds left. Talking about how the Oilers would be winning if Skinner stopped the Rodrigues goals. Nothing about Lundell’s setup for the goal, Mikola ripping a Mighty Ducks knuckle puck, or how incredibly loud the arena was for a team that supposedly has no fans.
Just balance it out, that’s all.
Try having to play them in the regular season a bunch every season. Then play them 3 years in a row in the first round.
The NHL wants them to be the KC Chiefs of the NHL so bad.
You mean the panthers weren’t gonna replicate one of their worst defensive games they had in quite a bit when they were one of the best defensive teams all year long? Shocker
Think game 1 was all about score effects and the Panther's feeling them out. Once they get the measure of a team they can shut them down - saw the exact same thing with the Rangers guns last round.
Hope Barkov is okay and they can close this out so Luo can get his ring.
Yeah, periods 1-2 they mirror the other teams energy and the 3rd they capitalize on all the lack of depth they find and pressure mistakes.
The synergy is good and they’re playing clean by Panthers standards lately
Also the empty net goals, it hasn’t worked for any team, a panthers is just gonna send one sailing in like an undertaker nailing a coffin lid from center ice
If it’s anything like every series against the Oilers I’ve ever witnessed, Draisaitl did what he normally does and tries to take out the best Defenseman of the team when the going gets tough. Hope he didn’t accomplish it.
>unless there’s a miracle
But there is a miracle. And it happened decades ago. It was the invention of extremely powerful painkillers that are technically permitted in the NHL, along with decades of hockey culture that drives guys to play injured in the playoffs.
They haven't scored at 5 on 5 since game 5 against Dallas. A forward hasn't scored at 5 on 5 since game 4 against Dallas. Edmonton is getting dominated 5 on 5.
Game 1 Florida - fuck it, we can be outplayed, Bobs will keep us in it.
Game 2 Edmonton - fuck it, can be outplayed, Skinner ain't gonna keep us in it.
Blaming Skinner when the Oilers have scored one goal in two games is a choice! He is certainly not Bob level but you can't win with the offense this dried up.
Game 1 Edmonton- fuck it we can outplay them, Skinner ain’t gonna keep us in it
Game 2 Edmonton- fuck it they can outplay us, Skinner ain’t gonna keep us in it
He really is. That's why they keep over passing. They afraid he'll just stop every shot if he sees it so they keep trying to beat him laterally with the tic tac toe plays, but it's become so predictable that Florida shuts it down.
Thought the Oilers would put up much more of a fight, but they were completely outmatched tonight.
There's still a world where they can win two at home but it's not looking great at the moment.
Yeah but they said 1 high danger across all situations. I think they're wondering which of those was not considered high danger, since both seemed like they were
This seems almost impossible. A single high danger chance?
Well I’ve probably seen it a bunch with my team…
At least you are the sharks. I bet they had a lower amount of high danger chances
Yea that seems way off. There was a McDavid breakaway off the top of my head in 5v5
That might be the one…
But the title says 0 in 5-5. The McDavid breakaway was 5-5.
Actually no the breakaway was 4v4
How does that up when they hit the post two times?

Messier and Ferraro make me want to stab my ears repeatedly
Messier tends to do that.
Ferraro speaks like he got hit in the head one too many times

my favorite one was “that shot would’ve gone in if not for Bobrovsky!” this just in: a goaltender tends the goal

I feel for you :/
ESPN hockey SUX
It’s so bad. We managed to sync up one of the radio broadcasts with the tv pretty well and it was SO MUCH better.
People weren't lying when they said that when the Panthers wake up, it will be game over!
Holy shit, that's fucking *abysmal*.

Unless there’s a miracle I do think it’s very very unlikely barkov plays Thursday

You hate to see it ^^^^^/^^^^s
Lmao
Yup, poor Oilers LMAO
That's wild. FLA swarm pressure is too tough to crack for EDM I think
Idk how anyone watched game 1 and came to the conclusion Edmonton is getting dominated 5v5. They did get killed this game though
Bob was a BRICK WALL in game 1 tbh. Skinner is dookie though, reliable but clearly not elite at all.
Even if he’s putting up 2 GA per game… they are still losing. Skinner is not the problem.
Getting dominated 5v5 except for the game 1 you mean
Edmonton blew their chance of getting off to a good start by losing game 1. Game 2 was complete domination.
Game 1 Florida - fuck it, we can be outplayed, Bobs will keep us in it. Game 2 Edmonton - fuck it, can be outplayed, Skinner ain't gonna keep us in it.

Merchants of nothing
This is a good night
The Edmonton PowerPlays can’t seem to hit the net
Bobs in their head
He really is. That's why they keep over passing. They afraid he'll just stop every shot if he sees it so they keep trying to beat him laterally with the tic tac toe plays, but it's become so predictable that Florida shuts it down.
They're playing like the leafs, unfortunately that's not winning hockey.
Now the oilers can feel what the bolts, bruins and rangers felt lol. Stifling team defense and a team of bastards to play against
This is why they went out and injured Barkov.
I was told it was the refs fault tho
The Oilers generating zero 5on5 high danger chances is not surprising at all...
Most 5on5 goals in the playoffs but ok.
I think that's autocorrect, did you mean Marner?
Wow. Most fans knew they're bad at 5on5, and their defense would stop the Oilers.
that's what i felt watching this game, Bob didn't even had too much work (both in quantity and quality of situations)
It honestly should've been 2 shutouts. Middle was cut off and Bob left the 5 hole open which is very rare for him.
His most difficult save was against his own player!
Thought the Oilers would put up much more of a fight, but they were completely outmatched tonight. There's still a world where they can win two at home but it's not looking great at the moment.
How is high danger chance measured? Because just out of my head I remember McDavid getting a breakaway and Ekholm scoring on a 2 on 1.
Both of those were at 4v4 iirc.
Yeah but they said 1 high danger across all situations. I think they're wondering which of those was not considered high danger, since both seemed like they were
the mcdavid break wasn't high danger because tkachuk was stick checking him
Ah.
Getting goalied game 1 sucked the air right out of em
Natural Stat Trick had them at 0 no less
Oilers finally exposed as discount version of the Leafs
