Panning the camera to Luongo after the score was 8-1 was absolutely savage.

Nba and Nhl finals are straight up copying each other lol

The worst part about this game is I have to work two days between now and Game 5.

Advance Stats: Skinner is not playing that great. Skinner: and I took that personally.

Unreal stat: Panthers have given up 17 goals in the past 2 cup-clinching games

Florida needs to channel their inner Gimli: "That still only counts as 1"

Well... I know a five goal lead by the Oilers might not be safe, but a seven goal lead should be.

As someone who was at the watch party at Amerant Bank Arena tonight, that was brutal. I never seen an arena sell out for a watch party and empty it so early 😞

The Oilers pretty consistently doubled the Panthers in high danger chances and shots from the slot etc for lots of this series, but it was weirdly sort of quietly buried as "Florida is the best team in the NHL with the best D" and I was like... Well, if Bob ever stops bailing them out with these incredible performances that could turn in a big way REAL fast. Boy did it ever tonight.

On that last Panthers powerplay, Sam Reinhart played the worst NHL shift I've ever seen. A thousand times worse than the infamous Pierre-Luc Dubois shift that got him traded.

It's 05:23 in Denmark as I watch this reviewing but I had to.

A part of me wonders if the boys just wanted to lift the cup at home😂

And detroit is still the last team to sweep the stanley cup finals in 1998

It only took the Oilers four games to realize you need to go top shelf on Bob.

1942 was indeed the last successful 3-0 series comeback in the Stanley Cup Final. It almost happened again in 1945 when the Leafs nearly blew their own 3-0 series lead over the Red Wings.

Decent chaps from Florida allowing the Gentlemen’s Sweep.

Let's take a better look at this. The Celtics the night before, also being up 3-0 and on the road, getting completely blown out. One would start to think they both want to win in their home court/rink.

Winning a game by 7 goals in the stanley cup finals is crazy. Right when we thought we'd see a sweep we get the biggest one-sided stomp of the playoffs

Man, Shannon uploads these really quick!

So the gameplan is Celtics win game 5 at home and Tatum in a post game interview says he's rooting for his buddy Tkachuk to also win at home the following day. Just 2 kids from St. Louis with a dream... 😂

NBA Finals: No sweep. Stanley Cup Final: Copy and paste

McDavid's 32nd assist is the new NHL record for assists in a playoff year.

Unlikely that the Oilers win this series, but what a statement game from them. Have they figured out Bobrovsky?

Its just one game. Series is over in Florida.

I bet the next game in Florida is going to be intense.

Tbh I don’t think any goals vs bob were bobs fault. Bad D on all of them and it just felt like one of those games where the oilers got all the bounces. I expect game 5 in Florida to be very different.

well, I wonder what Paul Maurice is going to say.

Finally a Heartbeat from the oilers..jeeesh long overdue..WHAT DID I JUST WITNESS! WOWZA

IDK where Florida was tonight but I feel like they took the night off

The Panthers threw that game.

Not talking about that Skinner Save on Verhaeghe and how it was basically a game saver is wild. Great video otherwise

Please people, do not throw away your brooms as suggested by THG. Do the right thing and place them neatly in your closet. You may need them in 9 or so days 👀

When the panthers were up 2-0 EVERYONE was saying the goal was to split in EDM. Well, last I checked they split. So, kinda wondering why the narrative is that EDM is back? The Panthers are exactly where any team would dream of being in a 7 game series and you freakin KZfaqrs and media people are acting like it’s something to watch now.

I'm just happy the Oilers made it to the finals, I've been having a blast!

Oilers solved Brobovsky tonight. Going to be a much closer game in Sunrise but I’m hoping the Oilers can push it to a game 7 just for the entertainment.

Every time the Panthers are in the finals they have at least one game where they lose by at least 6.

Janmark scoring on you short-handed is a death knell. I'm fascinated if the Oilers can keep this up for a second game and make this a series.

I need to apologize: Guess you were right about Bob's impact on the series after all

IMO this game doesn't mean that much. It doesn't really matter how much you win by, it just matters that you win. Down 3-0, all the Oilers did was prevent a sweep.

It’s almost like the Panthers let them win to win the series in Florida. Plus no one wants to see a Finals sweep. That or the Oilers were very angry that night.

meh charity game for the Oilers, Cats want to hoist the cup at home...i saw BOB smiling and laughing on the bench, he knows. /wink

This is a perfect example of enjoying the moments you are given as a hockey fan. Any Oilers fan knows the odds are long and basically non existent, I have personally made my peace with the result of this series. But it's ride or die! Take the good memories you get to make when you make it to the highest stage of the sport, it is just so hard to get here and you never know when you will get back (ask Leafs fans about that one). The crowd in Edmonton deserved something to celebrate last night even if it is just for a moment, larger result be damned.

I just realized how awesome your review would be for blind people. Keep it up buds

Florida wanted to win in the USA, only reason they lost

I feel like this was game 4 of the Tampa vs. Florida (hard reset back to their system) and we’ll be good. But it was nice to see the Oilers show up and not stop

I still don't think Edmonton wins this series but at least they can push Florida a bit and go out fighting.

Surprise bennet diving and matty punching someone while being held lol what an amazing team those panthers

Looking good in that Oilers Jersey! A reverse sweep would be difficult but not impossible

I always thought that too beat Florida you would have to put muscle and out hit them. Florida out hit Edmonton by a bit this game but that didn't mean anything by the score. I'm wondering if that "gotta out physical them" mentality was wrong all along. Here's hoping for a MUCH longer finals than we expected!

Panthers needed to have 2 men in the box before the Oil had their first power play goal of the series,...

Oilers' started to shoot blocker high on Bob. They've stopped trying to go low on him this game. My guess is that they're doing lots of top corner shooting drills now.

Oilers 50/50 broke their own record tonight, passed $16,000,000 at 10:15PM mountain time.

Great summary, as always.

PLAY LA BAMBA BABY!!!!

tonight was the biggest goal margin in SCF history by a team on the brink of elimination the previous record? set in 1942, also the last year a 3-0 reverse sweep happened in the SCF

"Tripping" 😂 gotta keep those ratings up somehow

This series could easily be 3-1 the other direction. Good to see the Oilers take a W

😂what do the Oilers have to fear now🔥🇨🇦🇺🇸

It was the big magnet Shannon!

Nhl really asked to copy the nba’s homework

I don’t care who wins, the more THG breakdowns, the better.

Oilers speed in this game was unbeatable.

That tying (and then breaking) of Gretzky's record wasn't just by an Oiler, it was in the league. Lemieux was also on the list, and he never played for the Oilers.

The Moss Pit was such a vibe! And Shania Twain was amazing!! What a night

I'm not saying the Oilers pull off the reverse sweep but they have a chance. This series is tied if Bobrovsky doesn't play out of his mind in game 3. It's also not the first time in these playoffs the Oilers have not looked like themselves for a large portion of it. My prediction is the winner of game 5 wins the cup. Not exactly a bold prediction I know but that's where I'm at. Even if florida doesn't win on Tuesday they need a much better performance or they're in big trouble. Regardless of how this turns out, I think it's fair to say Bobrovsky doesn't get the Conn Smythe after tonight. Plus, if the Oilers pull this off what a spectacular way to end the Canadian curse.

Perhaps, Panthers just want to celebrate on home ice.

In this game, Connor McDavid established a new NHL all-time record in the number of assists in a playoff series by a player by surpassing Wayne Gretzky's previous record of 31 assists. McDavid now has 32 assists and counting which in itself is a phenominal feat for any NHL player.

Bobrovsky lost his mvp award.

This was a pretty close game if you think of the score in football terms

Just a point of interest, if my math is correct, in 4 games, Florida and Edmonton have the same amount of goals.

Oilers 8-1 win sets the record for the largest margin of victory by a NHL team facing elimination in the Stanley Cup Final. Previous record: Maple Leafs 9-3 win over the Red Wings in Game 5 of the 1942 Stanley Cup Final. Oilers in 7🎉🎉

Tbh feels like the next game is a must-win for the oilers

Looking at the 6th goal live, I'm pretty sure that Draisaitl's initial shot snuck in before RNH cleaned it up

I never actually thought the Oilers were trash. I originally wanted the Stars to face the Panthers, but after today's game, I just felt CRUSHED. Everyone was gassed.

This reminds me of Detroit - San Jose in 2010, WHERE SAN JOSE HAD NEGATIVE GOAL DIFFERENTIAL DESPITE WINNING SERIES 4-1 God damn'it though.. We stunk in 2nd and Stuart Skinner, gotta credit him for great saves he had too! ALSO DID ANYONE NOTICE THAT MCDAVID BROKE 99's RECORD FOR MOST ASSISTS IN SINGLE PLAYOFFS?!

Just like how the regular season went: The Oilers forgot how to play hockey for a bit and then figured it out and won every game going forward.

Although I'm kind of rooting for the Panthers in the Finals, I don't have a dog in this fight. What I was really hoping for is that we'd get a long, back and forth series. It's good we finally got to see some life out of the Oilers. Maybe they can make this thing interesting.

Well that escalated quickly.

Panthers and Celtics get blown out in road game fours before returning home. It's just a coincidence and not suspicious at all.

This is the start of the greatest comeback in the history of the NHL!

They just want to win at home like the Knights did last year. Both last year and this year could’ve been sweeps. But the top seed wants to win at home. Game five Florida wins easy probably similar to this but switch it. Just like last year as well. Go Knights Go

Remember that team that won 16 in a row this year?

I think it worth mentioning Florida had a crossbar followed by a post right before that SHG. That close to a completely different opening of the game.

what a game!

Shannon i agree with you 💯 percent on potential pressure change if Oil can come through on what will be their toughest challenge of the year

Very similar to the Mavs-Celtics Game 4 from last night......

Poetic justice that Florida Panthers flew in all their family and friends on chartered flights to win the cup tonight

Been telling everyone they'll win this one tonight, but man what a shutout. Really worried about Bob because he's been solid till now... Still lots of hockey to go tho, LETS GO PANTHERS 🗣️‼️‼️‼️

I didn't have my broom out! By rights Edmonton should of won at least 1 of them 3 games? SCF 4th win is the hardest. One heck of a we are still in this! I won't lie I hope it goes to 7 I can never get enough hockey

@thehockeyguy my wife brought up and interesting question. How does one become the come CUP bearer? With what we seen last night the current has been at the helm for 30 years. We think it might be a interesting topic to discuss about the history of the position and its complete duties.

This series is really starting to mirror the celtics series we will see what game 5 has in store for both series

Woke up this morning and decided to look into some stats. Teams down 3-0 going into game 4 have won 7 times before tonight. Note that the 7-game finals started in 1939, as 1938 was a 5-game series. So that's 84 years of Cups in that stat. Only 7. In those 7 games, teams have won by 2 goals 4 times. 2 of those 4 times the 2nd goal was an EN. Twice the winning goal was scored in OT. 4 of those series ended in game 5, including both of the OT winning games. One series (2012) went 6, two series went 7 (1942 and '45, both won by the Leafs from both sides of the equation). Never had any of those teams won game 4 by more than 2 goals. Here's the full summary, including last night's game: 2024 - FLA-EDM 8-1 EDM 2021 - TBL-MTL 3-2 MTL OT 5 Games 2012 - NJD-LAK 3-1 NJD EN 6 Games 1981 - NYI-MNS 4-2 MNS 5 Games 1957 - MTL-BOS 2-0 BOS EN 5 Games 1946 - MTL-BOS 3-2 BOS OT 5 Games 1945 - DET-TOR 5-3 DET 7 Games 1942 - TOR-DET 4-3 TOR 7 Games TOR 1938 - Best of 5 We're in uncharted territory. Let's see what this does to the Oilers and, maybe more importantly, Panthers.

Classic we don't need to win this game performance by Florida.

Bob got chased from the net. Stolarz was "better" but it's like comparing toxic waste to trying to swim a deep lake filled with excrement while intoxicated, they're both bad it's just that one will kill you faster (you're guess as to which). Florida did get one goal (hence the nearly perfect) but other than that Stu made some great saves. The guys in front of him did a great job (double the blocks per NST. almost double the takeaways (though nearly double the giveaways), the PK was perfect, the PP Scored (on a 5 on 3). When Florida decided that the game was best played without the puck and by hitting and scrumming no one backed down. There were a couple of foolish penalties (the first one by Nurse less than 2 minutes into the period is coming to mind) but honestly it wasn't bad. Minutes played were a LOT more balanced. Take care all

I SAID GOOD DAY SIR

I see THG favorite team won! good for you.

I had a feeling a sweep was not gonna happen. I think the last one was 1998. I hard to beat any team 4 in a row regardless how good the team is doing it. I definitely did not guess the game would go that bad for the Panthers, Bobrosky had a bad night and once they pulled him the Panthers just gave up and played much more relaxed at least in my opinion.

Even if we lose next game, I had fun tonight.

Wild

🙂 Äntligen en riktig hockeymatch! 👍
