~~~ Official Panthers/Oilers Stanley Cup Game 7 Thread (6/24/2024) ~~~

[TuscanyTile2]

I know this is not Jets' football (or even football of any kind) but I think it's slow enough football-wise that we can have a game 7 Stanley Cup Finals in-game thread (that can be moved to the "Other Sports" page tomorrow).

@Beerfish has a rooting interest.  Go Oilers!!!

[TuscanyTile2]

For those who don't watch hockey, if you haven't seen Oilers' captain Connor McDavid, he's one of the greatest players the NHL has seen in decades.  He had back-to-back 4 point nights when the Oilers were facing elimination (followed by a 0 point game 6 which they still managed to win).  Hopefully he can do something special again tonight.

Florida scores first.

1-1!!!

[OilfieldJet]

Panthers are hitting hard.

[OilfieldJet]

Good game so far, it looked like the Oilers were on their heals a bit - they needed that goal.

No question.  It was a dumb penalty by the Oilers too.  

[OilfieldJet]

Shots and hits both dominated by Panthers.

Edmonton started getting the better of play for a bit there though.

I’m also trying to watch the CWS, final game.

Yeah, Florida, I think, needs to take advantage here.

[OilfieldJet]

But I really like how the Panthers are positioned around the net.

Florida has definitely gotten the better of play.  But it's a 1 game season so all it takes is a lucky bounce or something like that.

[OilfieldJet]

Wow, great half.

So I’m on a cruise.  Watching.  As a Ranger fan IDGAF who wins.

You're not rooting against Florida?  Plus as a Ranger fan, isn't it a no brainer to root for the Oilers (Gretzky, Messier, Graves, etc)?

[TuscanyTile2]

I really don't like that penalty call.  Tkachuk didn't intentionally trip the Oiler.

[OilfieldJet]

Oilers need to step it up to win this.

[OilfieldJet]

A power play with 1 on the defense without a stick….you have to score there.

Agreed.  That was a huge opportunity that slipped through Edmonton's hands.

I don’t care.   Both teams are worthy.  

[TuscanyTile2]

What a sequence that was.  The Oilers just missed and the Panthers turn it around and score.

What does that have to do with anything?  Did you root for the Pats because they were worthy?

What are you, the hockey police?

I was asking him a question.  Are you trying to police my questions?  You are exhausting to deal with sometimes.

[OilfieldJet]

Ok, OT, but that tipping commercial is funny.

It doesn't appear to be the boobs out lady.

[TuscanyTile2]

Ugh, that was some chance.  No guarantee they'll get a better opportunity than that one.

Unfortunately no, but I’m sure you can now find her on onlyfans….

I thought they had the score, at least they are waking up.

[TuscanyTile2]

Oh well
