Congrats Panthers!
They are definitely a better team. Well deserved!
Heartbreak for Oilers and Canada!!

A great team. They have a lot of free agents. I think this will be their last one.

reply

And the next one will be Edmonton, you mean?
What if they have the same set of players next year too?

reply

Not sure. Edmonton should be very good again. They will be one of the favourites. Need to see where free agents go.

reply

Florida dominated in their last 3 wins

the turning point was game 2, Florida winning in double overtime

reply

They fought valiantly. It's just they lacked the penetration at the crunch moments.
And seemed like they surrendered meekly after the brawl.

reply

Their goaltending and defense let them down.

reply

So they should know what needs to be mended and come back stronger in the next season.

Florida was the tougher more physical team

Edmonton tried to emulate Florida when they should have focused on their strengths

reply

We'll, best of luck to Canada!
If oilers can spill a bit more purse on the free agents, they might come to them. All teams got the same purse or it differs?

reply

I was actually rooting for Edmonton

reply

Me too but I expected the Panthers to win.

reply

No state income tax and Florida is a pretty nice place to live. I imagine many players would give up a few million for deep playoff runs and better tax policies

reply

Probably but they have 15 FAs. Hard to imagine everyone comes back.

Not Calgary flames fans!
