The Saga continues, what does everyone think happens tonight in Game 6 in Edmonton?

Honestly.....................NO CLUE!

I can see either team winning. I can see this being a 3-1 kind of game and I can see it being 7-4.

I honestly have NO CLUE so I will do what I always do in cases like this: Enjoy the game with no bets on it so I can truly enjoy the game and not have to worry about needing or not needing goals or SOG or................

IF FORCED to make a pick: Panthers.................but not very confident about it

I agree with Winky in that I have no idea what to expect tonight, the last two games have looked nothing like the first three, I think from a psychological standpoint it's important for the Panthers to score first, they need to slow down McJesus, but at some point Draisiatl will show up, it's hard to believe he's gone scoreless in seven straight games, eventually that streak has to end, Bob was the heavy favorite to win the Conn Smythe, and then it started going all wrong, if he gives up an early goal you wonder where his confidence level will be, gun to my head I'd take the Oilers, I have futures on both teams, so from a financial standpoint I'm in good shape, but of course as a Panthers fan. that's where my heart is, my head not so much. Not to get ahead of myself, but if the Panthers blow the series I'll be betting their point total Under next year, hard to imagine a team losing in the finals back to back years without it having a longer term effect, not to mention blowing a 3-0 lead

Good analyses gentlemen. Some very sharp hockey minds on this forum.

It would appear that the Oilers have found aa way to overcome the Panthers tight defensive system
and create open ice for McJesus to do his McMagic.

It’s become a game of chess.
Coach Maurice will quickly need to pivot to plan B because giving McDavid open ice is a recipe for disaster.
I also thick Bob is getting tired.

I’m playing the desperation angle again tonight taking the over 5.5 +103 pinnacle
Desperate players make mistakes. Mistakes lead to goals.

That said. I can’t pick a side. Too close to call.

1942 last time team lost after having a 3 game lead in final. 1978. Last time team lost in finals two years in a row. 1993. Last time Canadien team won Stanley Cup .
Sergei Brovosky playing for Stanley Cup and Hall of Fame spot when he retires.
Florida been outscored 18-5 in last three games and 30-10 past game 4 last two years.
Brovosky has saved 46 of 58 shots in last three games. .793 save rate . That's not gonna win ya a Stanley Cup. Oilers were not listed as a potential Stanley Cup winner based on analytical values.
No team in last 30 seasons played 13 players over 75 games and win cup. No team 7 games under at any point of regular season has one a Stanley cup.

AT SOME POINT IN TIME............you get tired of being pushed around and fight back (Unless you are the Sedin twins - and then you take it all of the time).

I have not heard ONE person on the Panthers. NOT ONE!

I might look really stupid here, but something tells me the Oilers throw in a clinker here with the high of the last 3 games taking away a lot of their energy and the Panthers win a 2-1/3-1 slugfest

touts are all on Florida

Yet Oilers are now an even bigger fave. I know touts never put their own money on games, but the more people play the Oilers - the more a play on the Panthers is the one to make.

I am not putting a PENNY On this game - cuz I have no clue what will happen - but only way I could bet this is Panthers.

Hope everyone enjoys the game tonight. I went to game 3 in Edmonton, that was a fun experience and have been on the Panthers side of things for several months. I had a significant position combined on the Panthers to win the Conf, Stanley Cup, East Conference Representative to win the Cup. Fortunately the series has played out perfectly if you believe in hedging/monetizing options. Despite being able to profit on both sides I kept a much larger position on the Panthers. I respect the Oilers highly for what they have been able to accomplish in their comeback. Killing 46 of the last 47 Power Plays is impressive. Their defense and goaltending which many saw as a liability at times has played incredibly well lately and Skinner is unbeaten in games 4-7 of a series this year. I did not think the Panthers played bad in game 5 at home and played good enough to win. I'm obviously unsure on who wins tonight with the way the series has played out but I'll stick with the Panthers and hope the home environment and crowd propel them to the win.

It’s the Oilers in a close one.
Oilers have made adjustments beginning in game 4.
In a nutshell I’d say the Oilers are now beating the Panthers at their own game.
Especially the Oilers transition to offence in the neutral zone.
Coaching staff has made the difference.

Good luck to all, and enjoy the offseason.

Good price on Panthers. Pinny is -132 Fanduel is -128.

And because, according to Bill the Krackman, Florida is the biggest gambling state in America,
I’d expect FLA to move even higher with the locals money this week on their team.
Puck drops Saturday night June 8th 8 pm.

Unreal props at Fanduel making book on the Cup handoff sequence.
Barkov to Bob +138
Barkov to Okposo +1120 (Okposo is 35, oldest Panther)
Sequence hand off parlay odds available too.
Barkov to Bob, next Okposo,then Ekblad +680.
Bets void if Oilers win. LOL
Barkov to Bob to Okposo to Eckman-Larsson

Hard not to like what Nashville has done adding Stamkos, Marchessault, and Skjei, on the other end Carolina lost a lot of talent, and the Panthers lost Montour, Eckman Larsson and fan favorite Ryan Lomberg, but they did re-sign Sam Reinhart which was a must, losing Montour hurts, but they couldn't afford to keep both him and Reinhart, so Bill Zito chose Rhino

Nashville appears to be building something decent there, Fun video of Tkachuk. Blackhawks and Devils appeared to do well with Free Agency Frenzy

CHICAGO -- The 2025 Discover NHL Winter Classic between the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues on New Year’s Eve will mark the second time the NHL’s annual outdoor game is played at Wrigley Field, but this version will be nothing like the first one.

“Those who attended in 2009 are going to get a completely different experience,” NHL senior executive vice president and chief content officer Steve Mayer said Thursday. “Aside from the fact they're going to watch a hockey game and the Blackhawks are playing in the game, not much will be the same.”

Mayer was at the iconic home of Major League Baseball’s Chicago Cubs, along with executives from the Blackhawks and Cubs, and former Blackhawks defenseman Chris Chelios, to announce The Frozen Confines: Big Ten Hockey Series, which is slated for Jan. 3-4, beginning three days after the Winter Classic.

FANATICS FEST IN NEW YORK THIS WEEKEND

Auston Matthews and Henrik Lundqvist are part of an elite guest list featuring sporting legends who will be in New York City this weekend for a first-of-its-kind show for fans, collectors and athletes.

Fanatics Fest NYC, a concept conceived, developed and operated by Fanatics, the multibillion dollar global sports distribution giant and NHL partner, will run from Friday through Sunday at the Javits Center.

"It's really, truly an immersive sports festival," said Lance Fensterman, the chief executive officer of Fanatics Events.

Matthews, the Toronto Maple Leafs center who was named captain Wednesday, will be there Friday for photo ops and autographs.

Lundqvist will be there Sunday, joined by fellow former New York Rangers goalie Mike Richter, and current Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller and forward Matt Rempe. They will participate in a "No Quit New York" panel discussion that will be hosted by former Rangers forward Tie Domi.

Lundqvist, Richter, Miller and Rempe will also be doing photo ops and signing autographs.

New York Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin will be in attendance Sunday for photo ops and autographs.

Other A-listers who will be at Fanatics Fest include Derek Jeter (Friday), Tom Brady (Friday), Eli Manning (Friday), David Ortiz (Friday), Julius Erving (Friday), Rob Gronkowski (Friday), Kevin Durant (Saturday), Barry Sanders (Saturday), Michael Strahan (Saturday), Jerry Rice (Saturday), Lawrence Taylor (Saturday), Cal Ripken Jr. (Saturday), Peyton Manning (Sunday), Mike Tyson (Sunday) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (all three days).

"In sports, nothing like this exists," Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin said on "CBS Mornings" on Monday. "When I went to Comic Con I'm like, 'We need this for sports.' That's when we said we're going to build it, we're going to bring everybody out, and we've got this coming weekend 200 of the best athletes, artists, celebrities in the world coming together to launch fanatics fest at Javits."

In addition to autographs and photo ops, many of the athletes will be participating in interactive events with kids and various in-depth Q&As and panel discussions like the one that will feature Lundqvist, Rempe, Miller, Richter and Domi on Sunday.

"There's a huge presence for cards and collectibles; it'll be the largest card show that has ever happened in New York City," Fensterman said. "But then there is everything else. There will be about 50-60 panels with athletes in conversation, podcasts that will be recording live, an entire stage dedicated to just learning about card, hobby, memorabilia collecting, and we'll have the entire show floor filled with activations just like what the NHL is doing. All of the leagues will be there with memorabilia displays, interactive features. There will be autograph and photo ops with probably 200 athletes that are there appearing, signing.

Thanks Bushay, looking forward to the season only being 6 weeks away. Should be interesting to see how the Draft, Free Agency and Trades have affected teams either postively or negatively.
