Vancouver rioted after they lost game 7 of the Cup final so does this mean Edmonton riots win or lose after game 7? 🤔 

Edmonton and even Alberta not like their neighboring province.

 

Yeah, ok, and we thought MN Nice was a thing, until the Dinkytown Riots. 😉

I’ll take the under and fires… win or lose, they’ll booze. Though any riots or fires will be minimal.

The only time a team has every come back from 3 games to none down in the Cup final to win is Toronto in 1942 and no I am not old enough to have witness it so don't think/say it. 😛

Believe me… Albertans are far nicer than Minnesotans. Minnesota nice is a bag of hot air.

The 3-1s, sure, overall. NJ was one of them.
3-0? Aw hell, it has to happen again, right?

The one thing I've HEARD about Canada, is that once their local team is eliminated, it becomes more "for country." I dunno how true that is, but if it is....friggin' kegger/rager in Canada if EDM wins on Mon.

There is a handful of Flames fans cheering Florida. Though the vast majority of Calgary fans and country of Canada is on the Edmonton bandwagon… it’s been 31 years… they are due.

I don’t doubt it. Just saying if you replace Edmonton with Toronto or Montreal, most of Canada is cheering heartily for the Panthers.

We’re going to find out in spades the fortitude of the Panthers on Monday night! And if Panthers win Monday night..all is forgotten & forgiven! McDavid did very little tonight & it didn’t matter. Tonight it was Leon with the HUGE early play! On to the greatest setting in pro sports…Game 7!

I've been to nearly every state and more than a dozen countries, including several for extended periods of time. People everywhere have pros and cons, and there is NO reason to assuage the faults of non-Minnesotans in comparison.  

Minnesota nice isn't fake so much as people there are a hard nut to crack. But once you're past the shell it's as good or better than anyplace I've ever been. Not unlike Germany among others.

Game 7 odds:

Florida ML -115, Edmonton ML -105.

a literal coin toss for the Stanley Cup!

That slight advantage for Florida is from Florida playing at home and it’s tough to beat a team 4 games in a row. 
I’ll take Edmonton regardless. Looking at Florida, they are stunned and Edmonton has all the momentum. And McDavid is due for a McDavid type night where he become McJesus for all of Edmonton and has a statue of him in ‘The Moss Pit’. Joey Moss is going smiling down from heaven.

Did Florida underestimate the fight in the dog? Obviously Edmonton has shown they’re not going down without a fight and now it looks like they’re more motivated to conquer the great comeback than florida is to win the cup. Game 7 should be one for the books! Can’t wait!

Florida definitely is "off" right now. Add to it that they've pretty much caught none of the "breaks" and now they're reeling. We'll see if Maurice and that leadership room can right the ship, but Edmonton has managed to almost entirely neutralize Florida's forecheck. Huge portion of that is that they've been able to get up early in every game which lets them shade back and play more defense, which allows their breakout to flow more nicely. Will be curious to see if Florida tries to change things up. thought they've tried to play too cute especially in the offensive end rather than the usual shooting gallery they go for. Will be a fun game 7, hopefully with all the stars for both teams showing up. 

On that note, will be interested to see what the fallout is about Tkachuk, who has been virtually nonexistant aside from late in game 5. More penalties than points (and overall just 13 points in the last 18 games after he was rolling vs TB). He Barkov and Reinhart all have been really quiet this postseason compared to their usual averages.

I think FLA is getting into their own heads. Aside from that overturned goal, they've just been outplayed the last two games. EDM has had massive puck control during that span.

I pretty much have not backed a title team in years, maybe decades? So could be a 3-1 ratio. BUT that is such an underdog that...maybe...?

I think Panthers show their steel & bounce back to make it close, although Oilers have all the momentum. Whoever scores first will have a key advantage. No one wants to chase the game (trailing) in game 7. So I expect tight checking (especially early) by both teams. But if Fla doesn’t break through & score a power play goal…I do think Edm will score on power play & that could be the difference. Game 7 going to OT…we can only dream!

Honestly I think it was a bad makeup job.

It was sad that the crowd did a better job on the anthems than she did (and I like Alanis).

Especially on replay, I don't like that tripping call.  Might have been harder to tell live from the angle the Ref was at that he lost and edge and fell.  He was obviously trying to make himself as small as possible to try to avoid contact.

Florida is 68-0-4 in their last 72 games when leading after two periods.

Teams leading after two periods are 13-1 in Stanley Cup game 7.

Can Edmonton overcome these stats and bring Canada their 1st cup in 31 years?

Edm will get at least one power play opportunity in 3rd…but game is definitely trending Fla way.

I haven't seen these teams during reg season, but seems to me that EDM is flashy/pretty goals, and FLA is more a workhorse team. That being said, I would compare this game to the Celtics/Lakers of the 80s, or that Super Bowl of Rams' Greatest Show On Turf vs grind it out Patriots...

Only two Stanley Cup game 7s have gone to OT both times it was Detroit winning at home.

1950 against the New York Rangers

1954 against the Montreal Canadians

Math/stats nerds like me love the internet (it is great for finding this kind of information).

And superstitionists (not a word, I don't care) are noticing that they are throwing every "jinx" stat they can find, for both teams.

Leon Draidaitl has been mostly absent this series. He needs to put on his big boy pants between periods.

I felt coming in that Florida has better goaltending and a higher average talent level than Edmonton. Frankly, I was surprised, though delighted, to see the Oilers win 3 straight.

This might be a regression-to-the-mean game, meaning it would be a rare event for one team to beat another in 4 straight...unless we're talking about the Yankees and the Twins.

They did show the stat that EDM has lost 3 in a row three times this season. IIRC, after each of those streaks, they went 8-0, 16-0, and 5-0.

There hasn't been many. I think I saw that only 5 SCF game 7s have been tied after one in history, also.

Yes you did. The road team has won 3 straight game 7s but the home team is 12-5 overall.
