Draisaitl elbowing Barkov (Lady Byng winner, 24 PIMs this season, 148 in his entire career) has to be one of the most cowardly hits of the year.
The Oilers have gone 214 minutes and 41 seconds without a 5v5 goal.
Yet they can't go 214 milliseconds without trying to whack someone in the nuts or knock their head off.
No way that much in game time? How many games back does that go?
@@CharmingCJ game 5 vs Dallas. Every goal since then has been a power play goal or 4 on 4
At least Bouchard got 2 assists tonight. Too bad one of them was for the Panthers.
Don't think there is a 5-5 goal against the Panthers since game 4 in ECF.
Once Rodrigues scored his second goal the Sportsnet broadcasters sounded depressed.
They suck. Totally sold to the boilers
You should have seen the post game show. Sportsnet guys all whining about the calls and even questioning if Drais hit on Barkov was even a penalty. Even funnier because NOW they are saying "they don't want the refs to be a part of the game with all of these penalty calls."
I was listening to the oilers radio broadcast on UA-cam. Sounded like I was listening to some random streamers in Edmonton. Never heard homers like that on a professional broadcast lol
They HATE the Panthers they seem like hockey purists so to them probably this is still a poverty franchise lighting up the historic teams they love to see win like Boston, NY and now Edmonton etc. But yeah it’s so clear when with certain guys their tone changes once things swing Cats way
Rodriguez has a punchable face
For anyone watching the ABC broadcast, did you hear how godly and other worldly McDavid is, or EMD PP and PK. If you didn't, don't worry. Ray Ferraro will let you know every 30 seconds.
For all that hype, Edmonton played small tonight.
McDavid don’t look so mighty after all
Haha!! I heard Ferraro get started and I’m muted for two minutes. I unmuted and he was still glazing. Unbelievable
… all while the guy looked like he didn’t even play.
It's funny people complain about commentary....its easy to hit mute and play music...unless you can't follow the play and need someone to tell you what's going on?😅
@@kindrin4773 for the record, my comment is solely on the general hype of Edmonton’s star players.
I can care less about the commentary as a whole.
I don’t have problems with hard hockey. I do however have problems with cheap shots because you’re getting beat down
Yeah fr.. its so scummy
Then you should cheer for another team.
@@thomasmuller546 I just put one of the most honest takes on here and still you have issues with it? gg’s my friend stay salty wait till you find out it doesn’t even snow down here
@@JMArm97 Are you talking about edmonton or fla
@@thomasmuller546yep maybe you should choose a team that isn't in Canada because that streak is gonna stay there for a long while
That was a predatory hit on Barkov. Draisaitl left his skates. Should be a suspension, but the league has no guts to do it.
Shouldn’t have even been 2 mins
Yeah Divesaitl should have gotten 5 for that. He should totally be suspended
Agreed. He definitely deserves the next game off for that.
@@badbutbois You have no idea. Careful you don't choke on McDavid's shaft.
That’s clearly not just a 2 min penalty
That’s 100% a major and a match penalty
Should be suspended but this is the NHL. Their brains are smaller than Edmonton’s
I wonder how much more outrage there would be if it was Bennett or Tkachuk who threw that hit, instead of Draisaitl...
They'd probably be suspended for the series lol
@@barryjames73For life, even😂
Don't expect the delusional oilers fans to ever understand irony. They're all over socials already complaining about missed calls in this game.
@@Wayf4rerOilers fans are the most delusional fans in sports history.
Facts
Draisaitl left his feet, launched elbow to Barkov's head . Fvcking suspend him at least 1 game
2 games
Coach should read him the riot act - he's WAY too useful to his team be doing something SO STUPID. If the Oil get swept, it's on him.
THANK YOU. Not once did they fucking mention this on the ESPN broadcast. The dude leaves his feet and leads with his elbow with he head being the main point of contact. It's literally a textbook misconduct and suspension. And they were actively trying to talk it down on the broadcast.
just a love tap
It's just an elbow..grow up
Ppl say the panthers are a dirty team. But the Oilers were DIRTY
He should get at least a game for that
Funny thing is the Panthers haven't really even been dirty this postseason other than the Bennett punch on Marchand. Just playing hard and going about their business
97 leaving the ice with both feet and Barkov is 6-4 tall
facts
Which Oiler? 😂 @@KevinBrevin
This game should be a reminder for all the people who after Game 1 thought that Panthers looked vulnerable and the Oilers just needed to get past Bob to win, that Game 1 was an outlier in terms of the Panthers' performance. They play slow after a long break, see Game 1 vs Boston.
Now they're back to their bread and butter of wearing down the opposing team and controlling the game.
This was only 50% effort by the panthers they save 100% for the road
They are an amazing Team... Wouldnt believe it, but y'all were right
Hopefully Barkov can play.
Wow, really impressed with the replies here so far. Usually it's a good comment followed by a train wreck of replies underneath all over the place with the logic.
@@windsolarupnorth7084 I will be upset if he can't. The team will be upset and will probably even come back stronger to avenge him. But we do have the depth to handle it if that happens.
Barkov ain’t the kinda guy to go down on a soft hit and then stay out the rest of the game. Thats clown nonsense if you’re a hockey fan and you see that and you think that’s what happened.
Oilers fans saying “it’s clean” are hilarious. I’ve never seen a more obvious headshot. Game time speed it just looks like a penalty, but on replay it’s literally Draisaitl gliding in then jumping to make contact on Barkov head.
Draisaitl's been a dirty player for years. Glad people are noticing now.
@@nicholaslouie7590 I've seen Oilers fans defending pretty much every scummy play they've made by saying it's clean, but then turn around and call out everything as "crosschecking" against them. It's hilariously sad.
That elbow to the face of Barkov should be a suspension. But the league won't take away McJesus sidekick. If anyone did that to McJesus they would get 20 games.
Yeah I thought him leaving the ice was worse than the knee on knee hit but no action will happen
The choke on Bouchard?
Yes! That should have been five and game.
That was so soft man if that’s on mcdavid the way it’s been called that’s not a penalty
@@badbutboislol you’re either a young kid oilers fan who can’t recognize their own bias or you’re just immune to cognitive dissonance. I’m not a Panthers or Oilers fan, no dog in this fight-it’s _absurd_ to suggest that launching an elbow into McDavid’s face wouldn’t at *least* get a minor
Before this series started, some were saying that if you're doubting the Oilers, you haven't watched enough of their games. It came across as being naive towards the Panthers, and that feeling has only grown 2 games in.
I was thinking I was blind towards the Oilers, my head said they had to be better than I felt. But still I felt that series would be short. After first game I was like, man they should've won that to make it interesting. Now I just feel justified that I thought this was going to be one sided towards the Panthers. But it's just game 2. Guess we will see the true nature of the Oilers in 3 days.
This is a pretty goofy comment. You can say not to doubt both teams in a series without being naive when one of the teams inevitably wins.
He was saying not to count them out, not that they’re absolutely going to win.
All the sportsbooks and most analysts predicted Panthers to win this series, so not really sure what your point is.
Hockey is a notoriously inconsistent sport regarding the outcome of any individual game. Game 1 with 32-17 shots and a 2-0 outcome is a good example of this point. I don't think anyone's surprised to see the series at 2-0, though it wouldn't be surprising to see it at 1-1 either. Just how it goes with a low margin sport, and Edmonton is absolutely capable of winning games against any team in this league, even if the series was Panthers favoured going into it.
Right on. Watched every single Oiler playoff game and watched every single Panther playoff game. I did not feel like Edmonton was going to win the series but thought it would go 6 games. Still might but seems more like a 5 game series now. Edmonton will take one at home.
Even the great Oilers of the 80s lost on their first trip to the Final. Panthers lost theirs too. Nothing to be ashamed of, been a great year of Oilers hockey!
Embarrassing performance from Edmonton tonight. So many lazy/straight up bad plays, super undisciplined all around. Panthers are no saints, but targeting Barkov is just going to add fuel to a fire they can't contain. Multiple phantom calls, and still anemic on the PP too. Fat lady ain't singing yet, but we can hear her warming up.
The dumb hockey by the Oilers shows there inexperience at the highest level(Cup Final).
Kill Oil. Avenge Nuck. For Pavel & Luongo. Cats to Lord Stanley. Sunrise take her home
This loss was definitely not on Skinner
Skinner is definitely allowing a goal or two you'd like back but doesn't really matter if your team cant score a goal period.
Didn't help either. He's consistently unable to make the save his team needs the most, you can see it on the face of every Oilers player on the bench.
@@JH-hh5jm If the Oilers are unable to score more than one goal, Skinner's gonna have to save every shot, and that's a bit much to ask. He's good, but he's not getting a shutout every night.
@@st0rmchild By NHL playoff caliber goalie standards, he's not good. His numbers have been absolutely terrible from the get go. He doesn't make clutch saves at key moments. He's allowed goals on the first shot of the game 4 times now (or is it 5?) in this playoffs alone, and goals on the first shot of periods more like 6-8 times. His numbers have looked good on the occasional night where the Oilers hold the opponent to 20 or less shots, and even then its a coin toss with how easily rattled he seems to be.
Skinner may at some point become a respectable NHL caliber goalie, he's still early in his career. But as it stands now he's simply a liability between the pipes.
@@JH-hh5jmWell said JH
Hope Barkov is alright. Hes so important.
@@Slurpee_Burger stop watching hockey, no one wants you in the fandom as a whole
@@Slurpee_Burger That attitude is exactly why the Oilers are getting clowned on right now
@@Slurpee_Burger What a shit attitude and comment
@@Wayf4rer, they forgot they sucked for 10 years to find McDavid and failed with him.
@@MagicMike_101 The good news is there's no way Mcdavid re-signs in Edmonton after his only chance at a cup with them ends like this one will. One more season and he's free.
I'm not sure what happened to Dallas in the Edmonton series, but I knew the Oilers didn't stand a chance against the Panther's. Dallas MIGHT have. After seeing how dirty (and childish) Edmonton has been, I hope it's a sweep. New Panther's fan here.
I honestly didn't care who won this series. I picked the Panthers in a bracket I've been doing with my family. Just for fun, no money. I also do really like Bob. After the Draisaitl hit on Barkov though? I was all in on them getting a PP goal and winning the game. Such a dirty hit.
The city is gonna have to change its name from Edmonton to Embarrassment after Florida gets finished with em.
Or Elbowton
As an Oilers fan, as soon as Draisaitl elbowed Barkov in the jaw, I knew it was over for Edmonton. I knew the Panthers were scoring on their PP and taking this W.
That was such a dumb penalty by Draisaitl
I think a lot of people probably thought that.
Draisaitl trying the trouba technique (trying to injure a very important player of the opponent team to be able to win)
Disgusting...
@@samuelfrick3475 Depends on how hurt Barkov is. If Barkov misses 2-3 games, it will have accomplished what Drai wanted. Disgraceful play by the Oilers.
Cats are gonna rally around that flying elbow to their captain for the rest of the series. Oilers are cooked.
Hope they utterly destroy the Oilers
6 0 Oilers win Thursday 😆
@@archimedes22616-o on penalties taken 😂😂😂😂 Cats win 4-2, Throttle finish at 5-2 to Hoist.
dirty Draisaitl elbow... wouldn't be surprised if Barkov misses game 3, so Drai should be suspended, & shouldn't Foegle get an auto suspension for the kneeing major? either way, GO CATS
Im fine with foegle getting a fine, it was clearly just a reactive play. Draisaitl on the other hand, wanted to hurt Barkov.
I really hope Sasha Barkov is alright…that’s the only bad news for Florida fans tonight. Otherwise, it’s been an interesting finals.
What happened to him?
@@Grzechowiak21 elbowed by draisatan
@@murutu1307 bad?
@@Grzechowiak21 A leaping elbow to be specific. Barkov might have been concussed.. might have a fracture.. ?
@@Grzechowiak21 it’s hard to say. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but Barkov was clearly in serious pain resulted by this dumb play from not so spectacular Leon Draisaitl.
Hopefully it was just precautionary. He’s very important to this team.
What an embarrassing, dirty showing by Oilers. Great poise and composure by cats with Barkov out at the end. I just hope he's okay.
Excuse me? What about the choke hold on bouchard. The knee contact on bouchard as well. Panthers have made dirty plays too
@@pkm_1256Shut the f*** up. There is no objective person who can watch that game and feel like the Panthers were the problem, here. Go cry somewhere else.
The Powerplay merchants are absolutely cooked.
Cry
@fault. about what lol
@@fault.Lol don’t cry it’ll be okay
@@meme_ajin hating another team is typical bum shit. Have respect for all teams or cry cos oilers are in the final
@fault. I don't hate any team lol especially the Oilers,( and I am a flames fan). I was just being facetious about it, calling them what some people like to call them. It's just a joke, it ain't deep.
As A Kings Fan IM SO HAPPY KEEP THOSE TEARS POURING!!
Messier and Subban saying Florida needed to get it going and that McDavid was going to blend them up during the intermissions was blowing my mind. Like what game are you watching?! The Panthers were dominating even while down and Oilers only had 7 total shots going into the 3rd!!!
I’d rather have no audio then listen to those damn morns. They’re biased against the panthers has been so evident this entire playoffs. Man I’d love A sweep to shut up all the frickin naysayers
McDavid circling around the perimeter with the puck doing fuck all
”LOOK AT HIM GO!”
Messier is garbage.
That's why they brought charles barkley in to tidy things up.
Draisaitl should get suspended at least 1 game for that dirty hit on Barkov. It 100% looked like he did that on purpose.
oilers lost my respect big time
@@1stBowman Yeah....let's hate all of Alberta equally.

Now do bennett
@@alexanderdorian7218 oilers are classless dirty team period
@@alexanderdorian7218Reee. Rent free.
Whoever says the Panthers play dirty have no clue what they're talking about. Yes, Bennett is a dirty player, but he's ONE dirty player. Tkachuk isn't dirty, just chippy as all hell. The Oilers, on the other hand... Luostarinen, Ekblad, Tkachuk and Barkov got hurt, with Ekblad and Tkachuk taking the equivalent of a grazing hit. I didn't think the Oilers were this dirty... until today. Wow.
This isn't the first time we see Drai and McDavid throw tantrums.
Cope
@@FINsoininen dry-sidekick
It's an embarrassment to the game.
As an oilers fan, yeah not proud of em tonight. They didn't play well and you could tell after the halfway point they starting playing like assholes because of their own frustration which just isn't a thing professional athletes should do.
Win doesn't feel as good without knowing if Barkov is okay or not.
Seriously kills all the joy from the win
@@hereticcreep3795Draisaitl does, disgusting
I’ll bet anything he plays game 3. His jaw has been injured before so I think that’s what bothered him most. As long as it’s not a concussion I’ll bet he throws a bubble on and plays
@@busfeet2080I agree and except for the force behind that hit nothing too much says concussion. His head didn’t whip super fast and he didn’t bang his head on the ice. Also it looked like he was mainly holding his jaw for most of that and seemed to look better once he got up. I’m guessing with the lead they had it wasn’t worth risking throwing a bubble on immediately and sending him back out. Hopefully he’s in for game 3 or the nhl has some explaining to do if Drai isn’t suspended.
The league should suspend driasitl if Barkov is out for any amount of time
Leading with an elbow, making the head the primary point of contact, and leaving your feet to launch into the hit - that's not five minutes, but some shoving around the net is offsetting roughing??
All night the Oilers were making hits that looked like they had injurious intent. Just because they can't score doesn't mean they need to try and injure.
Maybe they should spend more time trying to get 20 skaters that can actually play hockey, first.
Oilers are not a likeable team in any way. Their classlessness takes away from the spotlight on their talent. Panthers in 5.
McDavid is like a wannabe Crosby. Took 9 years to get to a cup and just disappears in the finals. Can’t imagine Crosby ever doing that
@@andrewchristie2970 It's not even McDavid's fault at this point. Chia and Holland gave him absolutely nothing to work with since the start, so much so that this is the team he's dragging to the finals. The way this Oilers team has mismanaged the plethora of assets they were gifted has to become a case study in how not to run a sports franchise.
sure
I'm genuinely curious to hear your rationale for why they are "classless" compared to almost any other hockey club? There are maybe 5 clubs max who don't get heated after a few tough losses, and we know Florida ain't one of those either. Maybe you could say that hockey is a fairly "low class" sport compared to some other sports, but not really the Oilers specifically. Personal bias on display imo
@@lilpigboy I mean I agree with you on it being a "classless" sport but there are literal hollywood movies made about how fighting is a big part of hockey. If you dont like it go watch tennis
As a German, I feel utterly embarassed for what Draisaitl did
@@Andrew_Holtyeah, I don't like him either way...
He’s an overrated player, a power play specialist. Where has he been last few games?
@@danielzychniewicz2633 Where was Gondor ... I mean Draisaitl 😄
Germans tend to be aggressors throughout the history
As a German, you’ve got a great deal more things to be embarrassed about than Draisaitl’s foul.
Rodrigues has 3 times as many goals as Edmonton in this series. I dont know if defense or goaltending is their biggest problem.
Neither, it's depth. They just rely too much on their top guys and when they get shut down, you can't expect to zero out to opponents every night. Especially when they can control the puck more than you can.
It's both. Ekholm has helped on defense but it's not enough.
Edmonton's biggest issue is their greatest weapon has been shut down, their power play.
@@PassingDrill *only weapon
Oilers Fan Here. some other oilers fan or fans might disagree with me but i can't defend some of the action/Penalty this Team did. Drai with that check what the heck was he thinking on that play and that foegles Major. Honestly this is feeling like a sweep or Panthers in 5 if Oilers win 1 game. Panthers are outplaying the Oilers Mentally and Physically and on the Ice. Oilers have to find a way but at this Point it's not looking very Good.
I agree, it's hard to be proud of a team so clearly got frustrated and decided to paly like assholes about it. Maybe they can regain composure and compete for the final but honestly if the cats keep up the pressure against the top offense from Edmonton I don't see it. Not sure they can get out from under them.
Especially after the Game 1 shut-out when that was their clear chance to get a W. Oil outplayed Florida yet couldn't get one passed Bob. Gotta be deflating, and imo influenced Game 2 a lot especially as the Panthers played a much better game.
I'm an oilers fan, though after getting stomped by VGK last year, the Florida redemption arc is a good storyline and I'd be happy for their fanbase to get a W. (Seriously, 7-2 and 9-3 losses in the cup finals?)
@@scottmotsinger5781 Agreed I hope the few days off will help them find their Composure and show Us in Game 3 Why they made the Final. they have to Find a way to Counter the Pressure the Cats been putting on them especially against their Top Offense also agree not sure if they can. The Team has a Whole Has to Step up
@@lilpigboy Yeah i think Game 2 especially after what has Transpired in the Game 2 will be a Key Turning Point for this Series no matter what happens during the rest of this Series. seeing and reading Fans Comments about the game
I will be Happy if Florida and their Fanbase get their Redemption and Win. and Oilers...man they should of been better than that don't know if i want to watch the rest of this series
Crosby had to lose his first final. I feel like McDavid will need to learn the same lesson.
I’m a Florida fan, but this series isn’t over yet. One game at a time
Is it safe to say the Oilers had an easy road to the finals? Kings don't really have a goalie and the PLD is so useless. Canucks didn't have Demko, Petterrson with a bad knee and Boeser didn't play game 7 because of blood clots. Stars came off of beating 2 of the toughest teams in Knights and Avs.
100% I've said this and it's true.
I don't think that's safe to say at all. Stars were playing great hockey and had more rest heading into the series. Plus the Stars finished with the 2nd best record in the league this year, 3 pts ahead of Florida, 1 behind NYR.
If anything, Florida can thank the Canucks for helping them win the cup this year too. The 'Nucks play hard and physical, and that's where most the oil's playoff fatigue set in imo
@@lilpigboy makes sense
The Stars fortunes really turned after Tanev injury. Even when he came back, he was nowhere near 100%.
That's exactly what happened. Dallas beat 2 great teams and finally felt the fatigue from it. Oilers played the JV Western Conference schedule. There is no way Oilers make it to the SC playing Dallas's schedule.
Today Florida got a lot of news supporters after such a dirty game from sore losers oilers. Oilers should be swept
4-0 is the only kind of score the oilers didn't get in this playoff so far. It would be fitting for them to collect all.
Absolutely. Looked like a bunch of hacks. If they can't win then the team decides they will take out as many Panthers as possible. Disgraceful
Random Aussie hockey fan here (no horse in the game) totally agree.
Listen I understand the refs are just garbage in this league. However, Oilers fans can cry about the refs as much as they want, fact is, Florida outclassed them for the majority of the game and the oilers got extremely dirty when things didn’t go their way. They look like they lost their heads similar to how the Panthers did in those first 2 games in Vegas last year. They also look incredibly beat up like the Panthers did last year as well.
Panthers fans calling other teams dirty is funny

@@hardrada3534 uhhh no? playing dirty means you ARE classeless does it not?
That Draisaitl hit was definitely on purpose. AND he left his feet. Should get a game suspension for it.
Isn't "leaving your feet from the ice" during aa play such as Draisitals constitute a 5 minutes and match penalty? Or did the rules change? I feel he did and targeted the head and should be reviewed as at least a suspension... Clarity please???
True
Suspend Draisaitl
Hurting Florida's captain might have spelled doom for the oilers. They gonna come out next game with a vengeance.
Edmonton looks like they snuck into the finals by luck. I think dallas would've been a much tougher match up vs florida
I mentioned to Yvonne in the third that Dallas would probably have been a better match up for Florida than the Oilers are.
It was both by luck (Canucks/Avs situation) and the Dallas just showing utter disgraceful play. The West was truly cursed this year. As a Panthers fan, I was most worried about the Avs, Knights, and Canucks.
I don't think it's fair to say they snuck in. But it is fair to say Dallas has a better matchup against the Panthers than Edmonton. Matchups in sports can be like that.
Oilers were lucky to get by Vancouver who gave their C to B effort at best with their Vezina calibre goalie out and AHL goalie in. Not to mention their top scorer out in game 7 due to a non game related health issue. Now that is LUCK!
Rodriguez is one of my favourite third line guys, this game made me so happy for him.
Oilers look just like the Panthers did against Vegas last year. Injured and exhausted.
Excuses. The Oilers simply can't hang with an actual gritty team.
Oilers look like the Oilers do every year in the playoffs, frauds. It's disgusting that the west let them get this far.
Injured?? Who’s injured. Pls bro the Panthers last year were truly injured your Oilers are not. They are just getting there ass kicked offensively and defensively by the Panthers.
@@lelouchvibritannia4028 excuses? How so? Oilers are hurt. You can tell. Mcdavid has not looked his usual self and draisaitl has also not looked the same

Draisaitl should get a few games for that elbow but I doubt the league has the balls to discipline one of its star players in the cup final.
It’s the playoffs..Trouba elbow was fine..multiple games???…you clueless
@@user-zd7ml7ft6fthe only ones saying trouba elbow was fine were rangers fans, it was not fine.
@@user-zd7ml7ft6f Trouba was a fine because it didn't actually connect. This fully did, was targeted and he left his feet. This will be laughed at if there will not be a suspension, but that said, this league has no balls to make it more than one game.
I think 97 has been noticeable on the ice but 2. and 29 have been abysmal .
@johnalwell5795 97 has only been noticeable because the announcers won't shut up about how godly his 1 point in 2 games are.
If Draisaitl isn’t suspended then the league is broken
Panthers fans don't even care if that clown is suspended as long as Barkov is okay. Oilers are a total joke.
Unfortunately, Drai is one of The Untouchables. You don't punish players who near-singlehandedly pull in revenues.
@@MisterVercetti Yup. The most he'll get is a 5k fine, which is about 5 bucks to him.

Nothing oilers fans can say. They were the dirty team period.
Oilers are a scummy team
Oilers are completely dirty. making trouba look classy.
They made Marchand seam like barkov with that play tonight
Yeah, oilers are a scummy team
There’s nothing more dangerous than an injured animal that includes a pissed off of Panthers’ team with their captain whose hopefully not too terribly hurt
I like higher scoring games, however I can't help but admire the game that Florida plays. Don't know if they can make another run for it next year, but right now, they are in a groove.
The only potential downfall for next year is that they have to sign about half of the team's contracts this summer. So that can present an obstacle to being strong enough for another cup run.
The Oilers didn't let in the first shot of the game and scored a goal, so there's some progression, but Florida also played a much stronger game and didn't need their goalie to win the game for them. I'd like to say that I'd be shocked if Draisaitl doesn't get suspended for that elbow to the head he jumped into, but nothing surprises me from Player Safety.
The Oilers fans should be embarrassed for how dirty your team is playing. I should be happy tonight. All I am is pissed for the ridiculousness im seeing from the Oilers.
Why should we? It’s not like we are the one playing the game, blame the players not the fan wtf

Oilers are cooked. Any hockey player sees the frustration that would lead to that type of penalty. They can’t keep up or compete and they know it
If Leon isn’t suspended by the league the Panthers will suspend him or Connor. Both better watch their backs.
They really won't. It's the Final. No one wants to risk suspension. They'll play tough, but they're not going to do anything stupid which could turn the series the other way. The Canucks were up 2-0 in their series and then the Rome hit on Horton woke up Boston and they won 4 of 5 after that.
@@TheHockeyGuyTrue. But if that injury gets them back in the series….that’s uncharted territory as far I know.

If anything, that would just cause Florida to play really angry hockey which is usually when they're at their best.
The Oilers have two guys that are a scoring threat... that's why it's even a possibility. If they were a deeper team, FLA might think twice.
Remember when leaving your feet was charging a few weeks ago? Weird.
Pepperidge farm remembers
Guess you forgot about the EMD super star exception to that rule.
Remember when leaving your feet only happened with a double amputation? Such a stupid phrase.
I thought leaving your feet was charging? It was a few weeks ago
It is unless you're considered a star, then it's a minor penalty even if you were clearly attempting to injure the other team's captain.
@@Wayf4rer Or no penalty like the McDavid high stick.
If Barkov is out for game 3 and Draisaitl isn't suspended, that game could be an ugly, dirty trainwreck. NHL better get this right. Panthers might need to start headhunting McDavid and Draisaitl if that happens.
I have total confidence the NHL will screw this up, and has a massive PR nightmare incoming.
Yeah, if no action taken by the league, FLA will take action themselves.
If nothing comes from the league, FLA will be so fueled it will be ridiculous. Oilers are screwed either way.
Florida is understanding why Vancouver was upset with Edmonton being cheap shot artists.
Oilers a bunch of goons
LOL vs the biggest goons in the league, get a little back and cry like babies, just love all the brand new florida fans this year, almost as bad as nucks fans
@@jamess1021 settle down pipsqueak
Draisaitl better pray the NHL suspends him for Game 3, because if he plays in Game 3, every time he has the puck, every Florida hit is going to be dialed to 11. No dirty hits, just going to have something extra.
That Barkov hit was a target by dreiseitl. He left his feet and threw a flying elbow into his face! That's a concussion all day long, I'll be very surprised if it isn't. I hope it isn't... Dirty, malicious non-hockey play. Two minute minor my arse! Not only should that have been an ejection, but it should be a suspension.
4-1 cats victory (deservedly). Now take two in Edmonton and show them what Karma looks like!
I’m just hoping Barkov is okay!!
SUSPEND DRAISAITL!! CATS IN 4!!!
Evan Rodrigues is the Barclay Goodrow of the Florida Panthers. Can play up and down the lineup, hot or cold player, can score some big playoff goals
Goodrow plays good defense...
Barkov will have a couple of days to rest so hopefully he’ll be alright by Game 3 but even then though that’ll be more motivation for the Panthers to keep on fight for their captain so go Panthers! ^^
Wow, you got this out quick!
Panthers are just grinding the h3ll out of the Oilers all over the ice, which is something they weren't even close to facing against the 3 West teams they beat.
It's funny how when a team gets up two nothing in the Stanley Cup final you would think that they are likely to win the cup after witnessing 2011 as a canucks fan i really dont put faith in being up 2-0
True 😂
Only 5 teams have come back from down 2 games to 0 to win the Cup since the league went to a best of 7.
Fla isn't the 2011 nucks .much healthier . Also not like vs vegas Last year as far as health either
Oilers fan here, honestly after the first game I knew we weren’t winning this series. Congrats Florida, you guys have played really good.
I would say the opposite for me the first game they produced scoring opportunities , here they got rolled and it really made a statement
I wonder if the league will suspend Leon.
Mental gymnastic of player safety will be interesting to see if he is not.
@@teapea8184 They probably won't even comment on it.
They're gunna give foegle a series ban to make everyone happy. They won't punish draisitl.
They won’t suspend their Golden boys sidekick, even that insanely obvious and intentional intent injure hit
Keep doing what you’re doing THG!
Absolutely crazy the best offense in the league has scored 1 goal in two games, and from a defenseman to boot.
Florida is just hungrier. they lost the cup last year and they turned that pain into success and that's how you learn what it takes to win the cup.
oilers are just here to learn that pain.
Exactly. People talk about Florida choking last year, which I don't think is fair considering the significant injuries they had. Well, I think this year people are going to be talking about Edmonton choking. Now I think Florida is just the better team and is proving it. But that's what people will say! If McDavid is injured, then they may say, Oh, well McJesus was too injured to show up for the team...We'll see.
Nice seeing the Oilers looking frustrated and lost. While trying to figure out on how to score on Bob. Who gone Beast Mode full on.
I noticed during the Vancouver series just how dirty the Oilers are. They're the Western Conference equivalent of the Bruins, dirty cheap shots at every opportunity.
Boston isn't a dirty team. Were they at one point? Yes, but they aren't now.
@TheHockeyGuy you must not have really watched the series against Florida because as soon as they got down by a couple goals, they stopped playing hockey and turned the game into a UFC event. C'mon
LOL, sure they did. DeBrusk was swinging his stick at everyone's head, McAvoy came out dressed like Mad Max and Swayman flew off a Tarzan rope onto Bobrovsky at the other end. It's a miracle no one was seriously hurt.
@@TheHockeyGuy spoken like a bruins fan alright
Of course. Boston starts every game with a vicious two handed swing to the head of an opponent on the opening faceoff. After that, they take turns with submarine hits and two handed sting swinging for the back of every knee they can get close to. Boston then sing a sea shanty at center ice before the entire team heads to the penalty box. With the entire team in the box, Jim Montgomery is forced to play every position and manages to save 25 shots in two minutes without any actual goalie gear. With the team released from the penalty box, they then deliver "two for flinching" to their crying opponents for the rest of the game. They also do this to the referees who are too scared to call anything after that.
Leon leaps up off the ice with that elbow. If it were any player besides him or mcdavid a game suspension would happen. Im not expecting much.
Barkov, Lust, and Ekblad all possibly injured from this game. Ekblad will play on a broken foot or ankle regardless, I mean he scored the ENG. But for him to grimace in pain like that and Lust not being able to put any pressure on the leg, got me sad. Barky should be okay its probably concussion protocol.
Ekblad twisted his ankle. It didn't look bad enough to break any bones, but probably hurt like hell. Lusty had a Charlie horse, which is why he could barely stake on it. Again, it was painful for a few minutes but nothing more. Barkov is the one I'm worried about. It doesn't take much to get a concussion.
@@justinmiller5660 that's good to hear. If Barkov goes on concussion protocol, he'll miss game 3?
@@paulgarcia9181not game 3, rest of series
The additional views of that elbow shows how bad it really was. Drai is a good 4-6 inches off the ground to deliver one to the face.
Edmonton is pretty much cooked at this point. They are going to need a miracle to win this series now.
Don't miss this year's international ice hockey glove sniffers convention - it should be remarkable if not downright mythical!
If Barkov ends up being out it’s gonna be open season on McDavid
I doubt it. I can't see Florida risking a suspension or waking up the Oilers.
McDavid didnt do anything, Draisaitl on the other hand. If he plays next game he will definitely feel it.
@@TheHockeyGuyUNLEASH THE LOMBERGHINI
@@FINsoininen Neither did Barkov.
@@romaliop I know. Drai is still the one who should pay for it.
Nurse was only on the ice for 4 minutes and still got scored on. 😂 He gonna run out of town if Oilers lose this series.
Why they picked him to be a defenseman is beyond me. My last favorite oiler team had Fernando Pisani on it.
I expect they'll buy him out when it's feasible... but probably another season or two before that. If Draisaitl or McDavid leaves, maybe they take the big cap hit then.
And the cupless drought for Canadian teams continues
When the playoffs started, I really felt like all the teams in the East were much stronger than any in the West. So, the way this series is going is no surprise.
Why are the oilers playing dirty trying to take out our guys head hunting on our captain
They’ve always been dirty. They have some of the biggest scumbags in the league on their team.
Didn't Bennett take out Marchand?
@mackman320 I know it didn't help them at all and will probably cost them more in the next game.
As a flames fan I can tell you we know well what kind of a team the oilers are. They’re low lives, and their fans are of even worse calibre. I hope the Panthers handle them like they deserve to be. Please do it for the rest of the league!!!!!
Some guys around the league are going to take cheap shots like that when they’re frustrated (good example would be my own team’s inexplicable captain, who in addition to throwing elbows was praised as a brilliant leader for throwing his helmet in a temper tantrum in 2022), because the league doesn’t really do anything to stop it. That being said the Panthers’ winning formula rests heavily on wearing down opponents until they make mistakes and then making them pay for those mistakes. Well, some guys lash out in response because they know there won’t be any consequences. I think we’re looking at the Panthers winning this, which means you’ll see other teams try to copy the blueprint. If the league doesn’t do something to get the flying elbows out of the game I can easily see a trend where this starts happening more and more around the league
Flyers fan here. Great to see the annual tradition of a player we let go dominating and winning a cup with someone else is going to continue for another year.
Bob Rossky just not making any happy little accidents
😂😂😂
With the way the Oilers played tonight, McDavid is gonna have to keep his head seriously on a swivel in game 3. Especially if Barkov can't play. I don't wish injury on him or anyone, but if that does happen, I don't want to hear any complaints about it. You reap what you sow.
Everyone who can should go watch Game 6 between Cleveland and Hershey in the AHL. Amazing!
i'm from hershey, had nhl on the tv, ahl on the laptop
Completely unacceptable from the oilers tonight. Panthers out worked and outplayed the oilers. In my head the series ended tonight. Congratulations Florida you deserve the cup.
@@Andrew_Holt holy smokes you’re a drama queen. One elbow and they are all nazis now?
anyone else get that vibe like the 2020 playoffs with montreal and tampa. It just feels one team doesnt belong where they are.
Like, ahem, a cat playing with a mouse?
not exactly the same, edmonton outplayed florida in game 1
You jinx bob with the 5 hole comment
Oilers are some cheap shot sob’s.
lmao that's rich coming from an Avs fan
Dirtiest team in the West
@@koshka02 you’re full of sh!t.
As an Oilers fan, I’m not giving up hope just yet. Weirder things have happened and I hope we tie it up with the home ice advantage.
Florida plays better away
As a panther fan, I honestly feel like NYR was a much better team then Edmonton is. Obviously it's only 2 games, so I don't want to get cocky, but I feel like this is a walk after the Boston and especially nyr series. The oilers struggle just as much as those teams did to break out vs our forecheck which must be extremely depressing to watch for their fan bases, but Edmonton is struggling to score and their goalie is significantly worse, no offense to Skinner. Shesterkin and Swayman were just otherworldly compared to him. I feel like the final was played last round 😂.Maybe I spoke to soon though, I'm definitely expecting oilers to come out flying in game 3. Lets go cats!!!!
Panthers-Rangers series definitely decided the Cup winner.
I agree. Congratulations to your Florida Panthers 2024 Stanley Cup Champions!
_P'BBbbbbbt!_ 👎
I tried rooting for the last Canadian team, but I've already seen enough to congratulate Florida. They deserve it.
