-hard to have comeback wins when a team is busy killing penalties throughout a game.
Coilers need to score on the PP too. Make Florida pay when they take penalties.

A team that almost came back from 3-0 last year.....
Even if they do go down 3-1, I wouldn't count them out. That belief will always be there that a switch can be flicked because of last year.
I think some people forget Skinner's only making 2.6mil. 3 SO in the playoffs, he's playing WAY above his paygrade. When he sucks, don't forget he's not an 8mil goalie. Edmonton fans should be sending death threats to the GM. (not really, but at least blame the right guy).

Oilers losing by a lot once the game got out of hand is not relevant. Florida got blasted by the Leafs too, and ended up winning the series. You win some, you lose some. You have to win 4 games; it doesn't matter what order that happens in.
They need to stay out of the box, and need to protect the front of the net better, like they did against the Knights.

Skinner is lights out so far, and that is NOT good news for Edmonton. shots shouldn't be getting anywhere near him. They should be hitting feet, bodies, etc and cleared out of the zone. That's how they got here; that's how he got his 0 goals allowed games.

Gonna go look at pics of me holding the cup with ranford and be thankful for that I guess.

It's crazy cause nurse wasn't the worst player in the nhl this season and just decided to be again over the past couple of games.

I don't how you can say a team that came in 8th place in the league "chokes" when they don't win the cup. Especially when you probably couldn't skate the full length of the ice.

They were 1 win away from the cup last season and kept their core intact. Before this series started, I would still have considered them the favourites to win, especially with home ice advantage this time.
The cup is the expectation so I don't think anyone should be surprised they made another deep run this year. If they don't win it this time, that is a "choke."
Even as I'm typing this, I don't think this game itself is over yet. Oilers have plenty of firepower to overcome a 3 goal deficit with full 2 periods to go.

If the cup is the expectation people just don't understand odds. There are plenty of teams in the NHL that will never win a cup in our lifetime.
It's the goal, but being the best in the world isn't always a feasible one.

To me 'choke' is the way that a team loses. If Oilers go down fighting every game, 1 goal difference in every game, 5 out of the 7 games goes into OT then no, they didn't choke.
BUT if Oilers lose the series like 4-1 with 3 blowout games like 5-1, 6-2, 6-1 ... then yah, very legit to say they 'choked'.
