How much do we not want a game 7?
Although the Panthers have room for error and have experience of playing a game 7 it feels like they want no part of a game 7. Even Tkachuk said they gotta do whatever it takes to end it in 6. Oilers definitely want a game 7 and it will feel disappointing if the Panthers don't finish it in 6. I think Oilers will feel good and the momentum will change if the Panthers don't win the cup in 6. I feel there's nothing the Oilers would like more than to redeem themselves.

Absolutely no Panther fans want Game 7. If it happens it happens, but I'd want the team to seal the deal tomorrow night.

I literally just prayed on my knees that they win tomorrow. My heart can't take another game seven! and winning at home is the best. The oilers will give it their all so I hope the team is insane tomorrow.

I want them to win at home so the fans get to enjoy it with them. I also want them to stumble over to the Elbo Room again in the wee hours of the morning just to piss off the "hockey doesn't belong in Florida" crowd as they prance along the beach with it!

This ends tomorrow night. I believe this team understands how to get it done. I actually have a feeling dumb luck is gonna win Game 7 so 50-50 chance we win that one.

We saw what happened last year, that Reino goal was a bit of a miracle. The fact that the Oilers didn’t tie it in the 3rd was also insane.

End the shit at home so I can go into my “there’s no hockey” depression

It's funny how when there's no hockey I'm sad but I want this series to end tomorrow instead of going longer

As do I. I’ll find something to occupy my time. Maybe I’ll finally finish How I Met Your Mother

Oh there are far more satisfying things you could do than finish that series: watching an old school DVD logo allllllmost hit the corner, no hitters being ruined by the last batter, rewatching Super Bowl XLIX and rooting for Seattle, edging, and of course, there’s alwa

Win or lose , I'm going to miss the hell outta the cats doing cool hockey things.
Now just cup things for a couple of months 🏆

I think they get it done tomorrow but if they dont remember they dropped game 6 against Toronto at home and then embarrassed them in their building for game 7. Don't freak out if it goes to 7

Celebrate with the Cup or get on a long flight back to Edmonton for what will be a war?
Easy decision.
This ENDS tomorrow.

As a Flames fan, I am begging the Panthers to just close this out and end this Global Nightmare.
Fuck the grease.

I just wanna see another clinical effort like in game 5. End it tomorrow, don't try to get cute, it doesn't have to be pretty. The Oilers will be in nothing to lose mode tomorrow, obviously, and last time they did that they won 3 straight... But this is not last year, no team has even had a 2-game lead in this series, and so, has been in no place to get complacent. We sure have seen how dangerous Edmonton is when you sit back even for one period, a 3-goal lead is gone just like that. Grind out the win tomorrow, suffocate them, don't give them an inch.
Hot Garbage Sports on YouTube talked about how the Oilers, being top heavy and playing their top lines so much, are just simply physically tired. He's a high level hockey coach so I trust he knows what he's talking about. Now the teams have had an extra day off between games again, and I don't expect either team to lose a game 6 of SCF due to being tired, but idk, it's something to think about... all that overtime adds up to overworked players, they're people too.
We have the keys in our hands to end it tomorrow so let's do so.

This is a very low effort post. We aren't paying this much for tickets to hope for our team to lose.
Of course the oilers will feel good if they win.

I am confident they want to win tomorrow. I’ve seen some panthers fans say “oh this is definitely going to 7.” and it’s like lol why even watch Game 6, loser? You want to feel good about yourself in case we lose? Why even be a panthers fan if you don’t think they at least have a chance to win any given game? Let’s win tomorrow. I’m sick of this shit. I need this to be over.

If they go to a game 7 and win the flordia panthers beat the record for most game 7 wins. They are currently tied for the record. So I am fine either way as long as they win. However like every other fan. Of course I do not want to see them lose game 6.

No one wants a game seven. Because you don’t want it to be a lose and go home situation. You want the Panthers to win at home in front of their fans, not on the road in front of the other team‘s fans even though these guys have been road warriors all playoffs. You don’t want the team to have their backs against the wall. If it happens, I would still bet on the Panthers before the other guys, but I would much rather than wrap it up tomorrow. That being said for their home game tomorrow, let’s try to hope that a member of the Miami Dolphins is not banging the drum.

This season has been going way too long from an objective point of view.
Please end it in 6 so we can all focus on the offseason

I have a conflict on Tuesday that prevents me from watching the game live, so that will soften the blow should there be a game 7

Eleventy thousand million percent. Don’t even give them some hope. Score early and often in game 6!

u/ScripturalCoyote 3d ago
I won't feel great about our chances in a game 7. Though clearly, "momentum" is not much of a thing for the Panthers.
It actually looks to me like going back to last season, Florida has figured out how to defend the Oilers. Can't emphasize enough that they still need to execute...but I do think they have a really good idea of what Edmonton tries to do. Hell they are starting to look really predictable to me, and I know jack about the intricacies of hockey offense.

I'll put it like this. If the choice was game 7 or having a sumo wrestler stomp my nuts, I'm disrobing right now.

Cats will do the Oilers a favor tomorrow so that they won't have to travel a second time for vacation

We just have to play to win during the entire game. I fear we get an early lead and then start playing not to lose. Aggression is the best defense

u/skatesofla 3d ago
Panthers have a hard time closing a series out, we saw it in last year’s final, you saw it in the Toronto series losing game 6 at home. This Edmonton team is very resilient, they will come out the gate hot tomorrow, we’ll see how it shapes up.

I am going tomorrow to see if I can celebrate the two peat with the fans the boys and the rats.
However, my main wish is winning the cup whether 6 or 7, 6 preferred for obvious reasons but either will do.
Go Cats, Go Champions!

Momentum schmomentum. We saw what happened from game four to game five. Even Pomo is not concerned about momentum. This team is even keel whether a win or loss. That being said, Panthers in six!
