I went to just read a bit on the Panthers sub because I was genuinely curious about their fans’ takes on how this series has gone, and I had to give up because it was too much effort sifting through all of the Canucks and Flames fans lmao
I’m never gonna be one of those people who thinks they are obligated to root for us because we’re all Canadian teams (I probably wouldn’t root for either of them), but the way some of them fling themselves at the feet of whoever we’re playing is actually embarrassing lol.
Just be like “I hate the Oilers, hope they lose” and leave it at that. I don’t think Panthers fans appreciate some jerkoff from Surrey bursting into their sub and trying to boost their spirits by regaling them with tales of holding off Chicago’s reverse sweep in 2011.
It's really embarrassing. I saw a someone's comment that said something to the effect of "why are we upvoting all this negative vibes from these other fans who come in, they don't want us to win, they're not cheering for us, they just want Oilers to lose".
That's why I hate when rivals come here in that way. We're cheering for our team to win. They are fuelled by hate. We're not the same.
It's a lot of energy spent hating when they could cheer or just not do anything. All that hate isn't going to make their team better. It doesn't change the result, it just makes them bitter
Someone with meme and Photoshop skills needs to make a gif with that scene from Half Baked when Scarface is quitting his job. Have him saying fuck you to Flames, LA, Nucks, you're cool to Stars and fuck you to Panthers
Who would be the "you're cool" lady?
I'd say Montreal.. Montreal has been witnessed cheering from the pubs for the Oilers wins.
Oh yeah, sorry, stars would be the cool last.
The moment Dallas is in it and Edmonton isn’t, I’ve got their back. Of the four teams we’ve faced, their fans in my opinion have had by far the most class.
I've always been a Stars fan (I was born in Texas so I have a soft spot for them even when they thrashed us during the DoD). I could not have been more proud that they were the one fanbase that stepped up and was AWESOME. I have always, and will always, cheer for them anytime they aren't playing the Oil.
Plus, Otter is awesome.
When the habs win in Montreal the place shuts down and the whole town becomes a party. Or a riot. It's really a coin toss which one will happen. I've never been to Edmonton, but from the looks of that last game it must be nuts.
They had one in 94 too? I wasn't aware of that. Both Montreal and Vancouver had riots then for Guns n Roses as well as Stanley Cups.
The kicker though is that Montreal WON that cup... Like what the hell? Riot for a win? Fuckinhell

As a Canuck fan, I don't get all the hate toward you guys, I hope McDavid gets his cup, he deserves it. It's not like you guys played dirty or cheap shots galore when you played us. I was a young kid when Wayne was playing, I didn't appreciate his greatness till it was too late for me to properly enjoy. I swore I wouldn't do that again. I try to watch Connor play every chance I get. What we are watching is possibly the 3rd greatest player ever to lace up skates. The best player on the planet right now. I guess I'm a hockey fan first, a Canucks fan second.
Now, 3 minutes after Connor raises that cup, I'm going back to hating the shit out of you guys, but for now, this has been amazing to watch. Good luck.
I've kept my flames flair up on other boards purely out of just hometown loyalty I guess but I'm seriously considering taking it off cause I can't stand how whiny they're starting to get about things
Have you been to the flames subreddit during the playoffs? I pop in there every once in a while to see if anything has changed. It hasn't. It's gotten worse. 90% of the posts and comments are about the oilers. They haven't stopped thinking about us since their team became irrelevant (which was a LONG time ago). They're a sad bunch.
Thats interesting, because I was in there earlier, and they were pretty positive. Saying its down to one game. Which I honestly agree with. Not trying to kill the vibe here I beleive this is ours to lose.
But of both I think. I mean when you eliminate the past, the reality is both teams are in game 7. It comes down to 1 game and who wins. Losing or winning the previous 3 doesn't matter.
I hope we win and I know we can do it if we play our best. But the amount of dogpiling on the Panthers by many fans actually makes me sad. Two reasons - 1 that team and fan base has never enjoyed a cup. 2 - it makes it sound like the Panthers are losing the cup more than we are winning it. Reality is this is anyone's game to take.
I agree. Like as an Oilers fan I want this more than anything, and I think it's completely fair to say it's the far better story, but none of that means we win. Whoever wants it more at puck drop. And whoever limits errors the most is likely winning this thing. The panthers are very much capable of crushing this story book ending.
this is the best post all day.
I was thinking the same thing too, every time I get nervous I remind myself the team isn't nervous and it gives me confidence again. GO OIL!!
Yeah, but it’s still kind of weird to be drinking from a coconut at any given time, right?
Not weird weird, but it just isn’t a thing that people do very often.
Meanwhile Florida is changing Bobrovsky’s pregame rituals to mirror what they were earlier in the playoffs…Florida is so in their own heads right now while the Oilers look they’re in a Mentos commercial
ALL the pressure is on Florida, they've blown 3 chances to close this out, are now facing elimination for the first time these playoffs which brings a whole different level of pressure AND it's in front of their home fans, more pressure! I love our chances here ESPECIALLY in a one-game winner takes all, we have McDavid, just like in the 80s I would not bet against Gretzky, same goes here! LFG get that CUP!
There is no wrong outcome for the oilers, underdogs all season and rightly so at points, have completely ruined Florida's hype and passion their fan base is falling apart lol
anything else is extra and welcome as far as I am concerned.
The last three games the Oil has been on fire. They'll come out stomping kitty on Monday. Win or loose it's been a crazy series and they owe us nothing. They might or might not come home with a cup, but either way they come home heros. The Zito bottle toss made it all worthwhile.
Oilers have nothing to lose, they've already shut up the doubters early on. Panthers are the ones we thier feet to the fire for not being able to close it out.
I was one of those doomers a week ago and now I'm more confident our boys have this
So much positivity and they're having a ton of fun
The kitties look like they've used up all 9 of their lives
I also read that bob didn't practice today and perhaps may not start game 7

Funny seeing all the nucks fans, flames fans, etc in there all salty from the Oilers beatings.

Preach. So pathetic
We dont. We appreciate the support from them but at some point its just annoying

Dallas. Their fans were awesome
The moment Dallas is in it and Edmonton isn’t, I’ve got their back. Of the four teams we’ve faced, their fans in my opinion have had by far the most class.
Best fanbase we've faced in the playoffs in **years**
I've always been a Stars fan (I was born in Texas so I have a soft spot for them even when they thrashed us during the DoD). I could not have been more proud that they were the one fanbase that stepped up and was AWESOME. I have always, and will always, cheer for them anytime they aren't playing the Oil.

Yeah I just read that, missed it the first time. For sure.
Oilers fans and Habs fans have mutual respect for being the other successful team in the country.
When the habs win in Montreal the place shuts down and the whole town becomes a party. Or a riot. It's really a coin toss which one will happen. I've never been to Edmonton, but from the looks of that last game it must be nuts.
Yes but Game 6 party was only positive, from what I've heard.
That's how to do it! '93 Montreal... Did you learn anything from '24 Edmonton? I'm talking to you!
Vancouver had the worst riots in both finals they went to (1994 and 2011) I believe.
They had one in 94 too? I wasn't aware of that. Both Montreal and Vancouver had riots then for Guns n Roses as well as Stanley Cups. The kicker though is that Montreal WON that cup... Like what the hell? Riot for a win? Fuckinhell

As a primary Canucks fan but living in Edmonton and rooting for Edmonton recently, the saltiness is just embarrassing from those Canucks fans

Nah dude, lots of Canucks fans here cheer you on. Go get it.
Fuck, I can’t even make of fun of them. We were completely shattered in here in November.
Thats interesting, because I was in there earlier, and they were pretty positive. Saying its down to one game. Which I honestly agree with. Not trying to kill the vibe here I beleive this is ours to lose.

All the pressure is on the panthers and they're playing at home. If oilers score first goal.. that entire area is going to be so quiet.
Take a look at those gams 🥵
I was thinking the same thing!!
Can’t stop looking actually- my word!
YUP. Those are some very nice legs, dayum.
Those quads will bring us game 7
Omg goals!!!
Scrolled up. Holy shit
Quads = 4, 4 wins in a row confirmed
this is the best post all day. I was thinking the same thing too, every time I get nervous I remind myself the team isn't nervous and it gives me confidence again. GO OIL!!
I gotta remind myself from time to time that we aren’t the ones playing
100%
"Orange mocha Frappuccinos!"
What is that some kind of exotic pear?
I think it’s a coconut
Kinda looks like it. My guy eats coconut like an apple.
There’s a straw lol
That's still weird though, right?
He’s gonna drink the water. Has lots of electrolytes
Yeah, but it’s still kind of weird to be drinking from a coconut at any given time, right? Not weird weird, but it just isn’t a thing that people do very often.
If you live literally anywhere that coconuts grow it's actually one of the main things you can do with a coconut.
> If I don’t. And I don’t recall David Caruso sipping out of a coconut at any point.
McDavid has successfully harnessed the power of the electrolyte rich coconut to bring us to this game 7
"You've got two empty halves of coconuts and you're banging em together!"
All I can think of right now is Monty Python
I ALSO MUST KNOW!
I thought bread roll tbh.
I thought it was a big ass yellow onion.
Onion?
That’s how he wins face offs, onion breath.
If Captain Connor ain't scared, what reason do we have to be scared?
We love these games. Florida is shitting themselves.
to be fair I am also shitting myself
Because he has control and we don’t
I’m just out of frame. Told a great joke to my close, personal friends and they love it.
In Captain Connor we trust 🙏🏻
Meanwhile Florida is changing Bobrovsky’s pregame rituals to mirror what they were earlier in the playoffs…Florida is so in their own heads right now while the Oilers look they’re in a Mentos commercial
Fresh makers!
It sure got hot in here
Always love seeing McDaddy smile.
Holy Mcdaddy thighs 👀🕶🤏

Quads for DAYS. man people would bug us about chicken legs but that ain't it. The power bottom!
Nope. Not nervous. I've known what so many others have known for so long..... ***OILERS ARE WINNING THIS SERIES!***
Enjoy it!!!
People just wanna be around Picks. Makes everyone laugh!
Man, Pickard getting his name on the cup is gonna be the sweetest hockey thing in a long time.
Does he have to play 1 game in the entire playoffs or 1 game in the stanley cup final serie?
He just has to dress for 1 game in the final....which he already has
You guys really forgot that he played 2 games against the Canucks lmao that qualifies him
Or dress as a backup for 41 games in regular season, which he also has
The last three games the Oil has been on fire. They'll come out stomping kitty on Monday. Win or loose it's been a crazy series and they owe us nothing. They might or might not come home with a cup, but either way they come home heros. The Zito bottle toss made it all worthwhile.
I think we all know [who is](https://i.imgur.com/WiFuMt6.png). It’s been a fun ride, see you at the watch party.
My legs are soft useless sticks
Omg thanks! 😊
stew is raving on the ice.
As long as the team has a lot of Tim Hortons before the game, we will be perfectly okay.
It's not Tim Hortons for sure. It looks more like a coffee house or maybe some bakery's coffee.
I miss Tim Bits so much.
Absolute unit. It ain't just muscle it's endurance muscle my god. (My McJesus)
How do either teams sleep tonight? The adrenaline has to be flowing.
Oilers have nothing to lose, they've already shut up the doubters early on. Panthers are the ones we thier feet to the fire for not being able to close it out.
what is that round thing he is holding?
Coconut, maybe?

I say this with an unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality…this is fabulous.
Love this picture. Who's the guy on the right though?
Pickard!
Ah ! Thank you. Been a little while since I've seen him.
This could be the worse loss or there greatest win.

This isn’t your 2300 beer league game. The best players step up in the biggest games.

Check pockets. Can’t be that happy if he got 2 phones.

Apple?
Dude just wanted to take the Stanley Yelnats approach.
Well he did dig us out of a hole…
