Bennett did exactly what @fightclub30 talked about a few nights ago. Gets bumped near the goalie and takes it as a free ticket to topple all over the goalie. He will never go down easier. Good thing the ref called the goalie interference and McDavid made them pay.
Bennett gets by with stuff in the crease area. He "accidently" elbows Stolarz of Toronto and Stolarz gets pulled for concussion protocol.
I’d take out Bennett ankles with my goalie stick if I was Skinner HARSHLY! Enough is Enough! All this crap making contact with goalies by Bennett is intentional.

Midco near Chisago but I was able to close out the emergency for the hockey emergency.

Crazy that 19:42 is the latest tying goal in the Cup Finals.
If Oilers would have won again tonight after tying it late in both games 1 & 2, this series wud have been pretty much over. Now we have a series!
Schmidt is playing amazing fur a 3rd pair D. And if Dean had any clue how to coach, & Billy to evaluate players, we’d still have #7 for Fla on Wild! lol

probably a mass overstatement to say it would be over, given both were in Edmonton and we did see Edmonton come Back from down 3-0 last year. True they do get better as the series goes on, but Florida is an extremely tough out every single night. Sure feels like a series that’s going to find a way to go 7

Yeah probably, what I meant is Fla blowing two 3rd period leads, if they lost both games it wud have been a BIG Hole to climb out of mentally. Should go 6 or 7
He has a face you want to punch… That nose needs to be pushed back a good centimeter or two.
This was up on the daily calendar of random facts yesterday, such great timing. 😁
Russo is covering FLA for The Athletic. He says off the ice Marchand is a great guy and a joy to deal with.
it’s the part that’s always been so interesting about him. Always lauded as being a great guy, awesome with community and in locker room, but an absolute punk on the ice. Maybe some of that comes from being 5’9” (at best) and needing to earn it on the ice and playing a role, but his dichotomy is certainly something sports movies (and characters) are written about
You hear this all the time… an a$$clown on the ice, field or court, but the greatest human off. I don’t doubt it for one moment that Marchand is great off the ice. And in the same breath you here, greatest teammate in the locker room and on the ice, field or court. Though a complete jerk in public. I guess if I had to be one of the two. I would hands down be more the clown playing, but a great human in public.
The Stanley Pup show is very entertaining (on tru tv right now if you’re bored). Super cute and the names are hysterical (see link below for the lineup). They make a creative dog-themed name of a player from each team. The Mammoth have “Logan Drooly.” 😂
I swear every game this playoffs, Florida recognizes a WW2 veteran. It’s great to see, just wonder where they find so many. All of them are late-late 90s or even in their 100s!!!
Florida can play that way and score. Doesn’t seem like Edmonton can.
Now of course after it went to 5-1 they likely weren’t trying to score anymore. Just a series messages being sent. I don’t think it works against Florida, though.
EDM getting next level goony with a parade of cheap shots. They better keep McDavid and Leon on the bench.
Pretty shocked those 2 got 1 more shift and FL did nothing with the way EDM was targeting their top guys in the 3rd
I’ll be curious to see if there’s any supplemental that comes out of the game. Wonder if that may be a bit ofAdded to by that Maurice is a classy guy generally and also understands that only takes away the psychological advantage they gained tonight
Nurse and Gadjovich with the longest fight I can remember seeing especially in a Cup Finals game
longest dance at least. both guys way out of gas for at least 75% of it
Surprising number of what looked like landed shots but Nurse got the worst of it
For sure. Wasn’t expecting gadjovich to be cut but nurse may have got him before the fight portion started as well as he was the only one taking any punches for the last half

I don’t have any sympathy for Tkachuk or Bennett. Maurice should knowbetter than putting them out on the pp with less than 10 minutes remaining up 5-1. The issue is both have been running the Oiler goalie. Sometimes Enough is Enough & U have to do something.
With that said…EDMONTON was awful tonight from opening puck drop.
It’s so DISAPPOINTING the Oilers lame start tonight!
How did they miss that high stick to Stecker face, should have waived off the goal & put Oilers on the PP. This incompetence by the refs is utterly ridiculous

The missed call on the hit on Bouchard into glass. And shorty after call Draisaitl for an elbow. The hit on Bouchard was questionable and I tend to agree not calling. Though you call the elbow?!?!?!

Florida has gotten about every call in the series and particular the last two games
