To me it does, FLA might get the sweep.

To each their own though, personally I've been on FLA.. well East to raise the cup to be exact since Jets-Avs-Stars-Oilers were so highly regarded so odds were pretty good.

I was there last night for Game 2, none of those penalties are suspension worthy…

If Edmonton does come back and make it a series and even wins, I still think Bobrosky wins Conn Smythe at this point, hands down…

Mcdavid would single handily have to win the series by himself to get the conn smythe…

You’re sadly correct.

But it’s also an example why the NHL will continue to be looked at as a 4th rate, bush league. Unnecessary and intentional elbow to the head, no problem. Unnecessary and intentional slash to the nuts, small fine. Those hits were egregious and predatory.

In any other league that takes itself seriously the question would be how long is the suspension. NHL is the only league that regularly excuses plays like that. Having a Department of Player Safety in the NHL is like having a Complaint Department in North Korea.

Lol there is absolutely no chance that Bobrovsky wins the Conn Smyth if the Oilers come back and win this series.

Bob was a brick wall in the first period.

Absolutely brutal Cup Finals from McDavid.

Has done literally nothing.

He's generating lots and getting goalie'd.

Draisaitl on the other hand. Complete ghost.

I hope they bench Ceci and Nurse for the rest of the playoffs.

Super embarrassing for the whole Oilers team. Absolutely no one is stepping up, everyone is playing down. Just awful

It's tough when you have Bob standing on his head and Skinner turning pucks over on the boards. The Oil were actually playing pretty well tonight before the floodgates blew open

4 to 1 Florida heading into the 3rd period. Get out the brooms or mice as a Florida sweep looks quite possible...

What a letdown of a series for the Oilers. I’d like to think McDavid will get another crack at it, but you really just never know. I’d personally like to see him move on from the Oilers when his contract is up, just seems like an impossible place to get over the hump.

Impossible when you have baffling performances from Bouchard and Nurse.

I thought hockey was Canada’s sport.

Of the five best players on the ice in the finals, only one is Canadian.

Canada has done its best to keep the game in the dark ages of goonery while the rest of the league is winning Cups.

Back to the tried-and-true failing formula of double-shifting McDavid and Draisaitl at the expense of the rest of the team. I never understood this.

Oil gave it a good ride at least. Again, you have a goalie that can't be beat vs one giving up freebies in the Cup Final. Not gonna win like that.
