There could be some fightin' tonight. Just guessing.

I’ve very very rarely watched hockey. It was accidentally left on after wheel of fortune (yeah I like to feel smart from time to time) and WOW! That Oh Canada rendition of the entire crowd singing (including the little baby girl with ear muffs on) was amazing. Gave me chills. Go on you Canada.

 

[MtNittany]

The Panthers will check the little girl w/ ear muffs into next year if that's what it takes.

1-0, Panthers, late 1st period. Reinhart on a 4-on-4.

1-0 after the 1st period.

Well paid, poorly dressed announcers couldn't be more unhappy right now.

I originally thought Florida in 5. They are so solid on defense. When you add that they have a HUGE edge in goaltending, it's no surprise that they're up 3-0. Last night, the latter was in evidence. When Skinner botched that play behind the net and Tarasenko scored, it felt like it was over. On the other side, Bobrovsky was brilliant again. Florida is just better than Edmonton.

I could possibly go to a G7, but it won't happen. Now hoping for a sweep. Our range kids (twin potheads who rotate picking the range, and actually look like the Hanson Brothers) have season tix, and will definitely be there for G5 if it happens. I'm too old to pick the range! Though I'm happy for the kids. They've been on the Cats for years now.

It's just a matter of time now. Best "newer" logo in sports btw. Easily.

When PSU tried it, we all hated it.

Like most things, PSU did it wrong.

Game 4 tonight, Edmonton, 8 p.m. EDT, ABC and espn+

Florida wins and it’s over. That albatross is just a bit heavier on McDavid’s shoulders heading into this game.

Watch Party in Sunrise is sold out.

Cats get it done tonight.

Really hoping this goes another game or two. Playoff hockey is awesome, but this Cup has been too lopsided (unless of course, you’re a Panthers fan). Need one game to go to OT.

 

[BobPSU92]

I am not a Panthers fan, but I do like Paul Maurice. He deserves a Stanley Cup.

1-0, Edmonton. Early short-handed goal for Janmark. Florida hit the post twice on this power play.

 

[BobPSU92]

2-0, Edmonton. Henrique tips it in. 12:12 to go in the 1st period.

 

[BobPSU92]

Florida gets one back. Tarasenko deflects a Forsling slapshot past Skinner. 2-1, Edmonton, 8:15 left in the 1st period.

McDavid is on the board to start the 2nd period. 4-1, Edmonton, 18:47 left in the period.

McDavid now with 31 assists in these playoffs. He is tied with Gretzky for the most assists in a single-season playoff.
