69-0-4 record in games leading in the 3rd period is actually insane. Talk about consistency.
Nice
To me that is the most mind blowing stat. Last 73 games with a lead going into 3rd period and not a single loss in reg? How is that even possible? WOW
Gotta step on the throat to win in the show
@@clinteastwood14896 I sat and watched all of them and even I have no idea.
If you look at the teams that the Panthers beat to win this year, it would have been a travesty had they been labelled "chokers" for the rest of history...
Add in the teams we faced last year and it has to be head and shoulders the toughest gauntlet a team has faced in consecutive playoffs.
It would have been a lot harder on the Florida team's mental state to lose the Cup two years in a row being in the last series not to mention the how they would have lost. Up 3-0 and have it all slip away from you. For Edmonton as hard as it is to loose I don't think the impact of this loss will stay with them for long. They can always fall back on but we did have a great year.
What a stupid label “chokers” after beating and dominating great teams all through out the playoffs
IMO the series against the Rangers was the final.
@@hihatjas9477 definitely a good series but they had no answer for us and never adapted oilers definitely pushed us to turn it up another notch
It’s insane to me how panthers won the cup but the conversation is still about mcdavid and the oilers. It’s insane to me….
No one will ever give the panthers the credit they deserve.
The weight of the media riding McDavids balls caused him to crumble like a fuckin crouton
Agreed
The Panthers do deserve a lot of credit. But the come back story of Edmonton is indeed stunning. I'm Canadian but I'm still glad to see Florida pull out the win. I think its good for every franchise to at least win the Cup at least some time. Florida fans rightly so are rejoicing in the win but in time the question will be asked how exactly did they get themselves right up to the cliff where it looked like they were going to lose the whole thing.
FACTS. SMH
25 minutes of deliberations and not one mention of the Florida captain Alexander Barkov 😮
Exactly. Pitiful coverage. They are clowns.
I agree that was wrong. The Florida captain should have been more highlighted to give him honor.
A team of 20 against a team of 1.
I'll take those odds every time.
Go Panthers!
ESPN's coverage is clown level bad...like REALLY bad. Constant audio issues, especially during the cup presentation, odd camera misses, trying to interview players/coaches while the cup is being handed to them...just all around the quality of ESPN has gone down horribly in the last 20 years.
Missing Sasha lifting the Cup was the cherry on top of the shit sundae.
@@phreakzilla8514that was fuckin unbelievable. I never thought I’d say I miss NBC’s coverage lol but Doc Emerick is certainly missed big time
The sudden audio mutes were to prevent profanity from being heard on the air.
Im not gonna lie the paul maurice lifting the cup in the middle of the interview was fucking amazing.
Not a single word about the best player in the world at the moment Alexander Barkov. This shows that he is still the most underrated player of all time. Did you watched the game?
Check the advanced stats when Barkov and McDavid was on the ice at the same time. Stagering domination by Barkov. McDavid was the most valuable player, no question about it. Barkov was the best player.
PS. Bobrovsky did not have luck, he had skill.
💯
100%
They love knocking the cats. Such BS. They just won the Stanley cup for fucks sake and these clowns yammer on about mcdavid is the best player in the world yada yada
He’s the best two way player in the game. Mic drop.
Couldn't be happier for Paul Maurice. One of the classiest people in sports, not just in hockey. That win just cemented his legacy as a Hall of Fame coach. Hoping he gets another before he calls it quits.
We going back next year too! GO CATS!!!
fatigue is a real thing going back2back finals. It's like a extra season played
@@SFUSW True, but if they are the most complete team, like most people say they are, they have a real shot.
I'm glad they won it but I don't see them as a dynasty team.
In the end the better team won but what a series
Thank you panthers ❤we needed a championship 🙏 🙌 thank you Florida really needed this 💯💯💯💯💥💥💥
Why don’t we just give McDavid every award this year, get it over with so we can move on from media etc swooning over him every time he earns a point. I get he’s a great player- Fine. Let’s move on and celebrate some other players who also deserve recognition.
Bob got robbed. McDavid was gifted the award for marketing purposes. Then again, the guy has had his ass kissed ever since he was a little boy.
Wait, was that dude really criticizing Bobrovsky's performance? Unserious.
It's ESPN,, they are no longer a sports network. They are NBA TV with other sports.
Im so damn happy. "2024 STANLEY CUP CHAMPION FLORIDA PANTHERS" ......😭😭😭😭 IM STILL CRYING
BOBBY is the real Conn Smythe trophy winner.
Edmonton couldnt make a final push. And this is due to a coaching error. Knoblauch double shifted the top 5 for half the game and they just didn't have the legs in the final minutes. I mean for fucks sakes Bouchard takes 5 seconds to stickhandle behind his net with 20 seconds to go. Hes exhausted. Had he just put those energy 4th line guys out (who were huge in the last 3 games) for a bit more ice maybe the story is different. Janmark, Brown, Foegle all showed that this wasn't just the McDavid show but in the last period they barely touched ice.
Yep, you got to learn these things and now they have experience. Easier for Maurice that you can put special guys on ice at the end of the game and trust these will handle these situations.
You’re probably right. The Janmark, Browns, Holloways have been given them fits with their speed.
Of course it’s game 7 and you want to leave it out there, but the other hand you want to give McDrai enough quality shifts.
Rookie coach mistake, for a coach who’s done phenomenal otherwise to me as a neutral fan.
It was Florida's 3rd line on the ice at the end of the game. END OF THE GAME and it's the 3rd line closing out the first Stanley Cup in franchise history. That type of management from Maurice is why they won. He had confidence in his players, Knoblauch didn't.
BARKOV ???
I wonder if this is the first time Keith Tkachuk has touched the Cup?
He was part of the scouting staff when the Blues won and he and his family were part of the celebrations because partly because of that and because they were Robert Thomas' billet family that year.
Points, points, points how many points McDavid had in Game 6 and 7?
How many did Tkachuck have all playoffs?
ничего не набрал......Конн Смайт должен был быть у Бобровского
@@algrundau9441 enough to win the cup
@@olgazgureanu4987 Why? Bobrofsky looked like shit in games 4,5,6 and got lucky in 7.
@@algrundau9441 Game 7 mattered most. where was McLovin?
I love how they talk about Bob not winning mvp because he had his ups and downs in this series, but fail to mention mcdavid is off the score sheet in games 6 and 7. MVP should never go to losing team, even if it’s mvp for the entire playoffs.
I still think it was Barkov's award over Bob. Everyone talking about Edmonton uses full playoff stats, but nobody's talking about the dip each opponent takes in their stats once they have to face Barkov. That's impressive but it just doesn't show up on the stat sheet.
I agree. It's nutty that they do this. The winning team of the SC should at that moment be given all the honours.
That last minute is going to haunt edmonton for years. Absolutely abysmal performance lol
I would have pulled the goalie at the 3 minute left mark....they may as well have taken the risk.
@@767Robson yeah but having the game a 1 goal game and the teams just falling all over themselves trying to either score a tying goal or keep it out, isn't that the epitome of the stanley cup game 7? I was standing there shaking and jumping up and down. If its a 3-1 game (assumption of an ENG as you mention as a risk), the ending isn't as exciting perhaps.
@@doctorcane Sure that Game 7 was exciting. I was glad Florida won it though even though I'm Canadian. To have lost it two years in a row and to have it go 3-0 and then 4-3 for the other team....oh my....how do you get over something like that. I think once a team wins it at least once they can take a few years not feeling bad if they down re-win I think i'd always favor a team that's never won it before.
listening to this, you would think Oilers won the stanley cup and that McDavid had 10 points combined in game 6 and 7
Bobrovsky was the difference maker, he deserved the Conn Symthe. Not the guy who was a ghost in games 6&7
The Oilers ran out of oil, literally
Gas… but I’ll allow it
@@HarshReality882 I know I know but it just wouldn't have sounded right.
i would have pulled their goalie at the 3 minute mark and taken the chance.
@@skylangford6083 lol fair 😂
You rattled off like 100 stats for Connor which all sound great.
Here's 1 more for yah:
0 points in game 6 and 7 of the Stanley Cup Final 🤣😂🤣
Let’s be clear, Bobrovsky isn’t LUCKY that man is SKILLED
I'd rather be lucky than good. Bobrovsky instead would rather be both.
Keith raised the man who raised the cup - and the struggle that entailed.
Raise that cup, Keith!
mcdavid, 1 point total in games 1, 2, 6 and 7, did NOT finish. bobrovsky, 10-0 when leading after 2 periods and 16-8 overall, FINISHED the playoffs the way he started. that's how you don't give mcdavid the conn smythe.
But, but ,but McJesus....
Ding-ding-ding-ding!
In the distant future there may be a Stanley Cup game 7 held on Mars and the home team might win. It will be great, just like always.
They really hate to see Florida win. Boys, let's run it back!
It would have been a lot harder on the Florida team's mental state to lose the Cup two years in a row being in the last series not to mention the how they would have lost. Up 3-0 and have it all slip away from you. For Edmonton as hard as it is to loose I don't think the impact of this loss will stay with them for long. They can always fall back on but we did have a great year.
Sam Reinhart is not done with from goat to hero as he hits the game winning goal in Game 7 of the 2024 NHL Stanley Cup Finals against the Edmonton Oilers.
These ESPN clowns are wrong. The best player in the world DOES have a Stanley Cup on his resume: Barkov
CMD Conn Smyth winner well deserved coming from a Panthers fan
The best player in the world lost but the better team won.
You can see how painful is for these two 😂 … just bless to be alive to say PANTHERS ARE CHAMPIONS 🤣😎
You come to the Finals to win the Cup, not Conn Smythe.
Knoblauch overplayed McDavid late. You need to make sure hes fresher for the goalie pull time!
Thank god he didn't
In the next Stanley Cup Finals in 2025, the Florida Panthers will be denied of repeat of Stanley Cup Finals title, but it's already too little too late for the Edmonton Oilers.
3:51 audio jump scare
Hyman next book he writes for kids should be about how he vanished in this series after having the season and playoffs of his life. A tale of great accomplishments with an ending of taking a nap
He had 16 goals this playoffs....What else would you like?
The only reason there was a game 7 is because the pussycats laid 3 eggs in a row
he could write a book about having a big nose and a small hat
@@algrundau9441he's talking about this series.
Hyman was also playing against the best defensive team in the league. it is what it is there. Once Fla got its legs back under it in G7 they were back on the forecheck and figuring out ways to frustrate the Oilers.
This will always be known as the “Panthers almost choked Stanley Cup”
No , this will be known as the “BEST PLAYER IN THE NHL , CHOCKED IN GAME 6 & 7”
@@ArchangelUriel-jc4uq fact
Unfortunately "almost choked" isn't something that goes on the cup. The 2011 final went to 7 and you know which team is still talked about sometimes? The Bruins. Because they won. The 2011 canucks aren't talked about much anymore besides by canucks fans, and the same thing will happen to this year's oilers.
@@clawitzeristhebestpokemon8765 facts
Sure but at the end of the day the only thing that matters with memories is you wear a Stanley Cup ring.
Typical headline from ESPN and NHL!!!! Florida didn't "choke" the Oilers played better in games 4,5 & 6. The Panthers blocked out all the McDavid bias from ESPN and showed that they were the best TEAM!!! The real Conn Symthe trophy winner "BOB" played lights out!!!
The flight to Florida for the oil was like floating on air.
The flight back to Edmonton for the oil had to feel like remembering a good friend at a funeral.
Sounds like a Florida School Bus.
Make me wonder if young kids entering the NHL should be asked, if they're willing to accept they may never be on a team that wins the cup. The dream is so big for some and to be denied in a final playoff game can be beyond tough. One must think whatever happens I want a career in this entertainment industry and don't feel unfulfilled if you don't achieve the ultimate.
6:07 omg greg
Ben Hogan " ". The More i Practice the Luckier i Get"
hey Panthers. Can the Rangers pls win next year? Thanks... oh, and good job.
Greg cote called mcdavid overrated!! 😂😂😂 he was almost wrong
Oh of course this guy spent his time waiting to talk to the Oilers. Basically sums up ESPNs coverage of the Finals. Pretty trash all around and Oilers focused.
No one cares about losers years from now. Zero points for McDavid in game 7. Sorry the reporter wasted his time instead of watching some first time Stanley Cup winners and get some killer quotes from the winners.
How can you say that?....Half the Florida arena were Oilers fans...Most of florida did not watch this game,...Or had any idea it was even on....or will ever care....why is it wrong to talk about a team like the Oilers that people actually enjoy watching?
@@algrundau9441 ya right... i'd say 5-10% tops were oiler fans in attendance, just listen to national anthems. Also, Florida has 3 cups in the last 5 years. Canadians have none in the last 30.
@@ShweatyyyyyG It looked and sounded like 50%....So 3 Cups in 5 years from Uncle Gary Bettman and STILL can't sell out a Game 7 Arena? NASCAR and Wrestling STILL more popular?...No one watched this game in Florida....no one cares. Quit pretending otherwise.
No mention about the players named Barkov and Lundell. No mention how good TEAM Panthers was defensively. They also gives a feeling that Bobrovksy is just a some random goalie who wins by luck...
@algrundau9441 it's ok, the oilers will win as soon as they stop over paying for players. We had over 60 sellouts thus season and sold out every playoff game. Keep telling yourself no one in Florida watches if it helps you sleep at night. But the panthers have been top 10 in attendance for 2 seasons. In a place where there is actually things to do during the winter.
HEY, the CATS WON, stop talking about McDavid!
They should have taken the MVP award back from him since he did not come out to receive it. That is childish and disrespectful to the entire league. One reason why his name isn't engraved for eternity on the cup. Go Panthers 🎉
Do you mind if we can talk about the Panthers? No one gives a fuck about the losers.
Look Mcdavid is a beats “but losing here helps Mcdavid all time” what kinda argument is that,
I thought this video was supposed to be about how the panthers won
Barkov should have won conn smythe. Also dumb take that bob was lucky rather than good thats bullshit.
So this was the Canadian propoganda report I see. McDavid went ghost mode in games 1-3 and 6-7.
Espn with the worst broadcast I have ever watched last night. They suck so bad at covering the NHL
You have to be joking me with the conn smythe talk. Yes, we know the jock sniffing dorky hockey writers like yourselves gave it to him as a consolation prize and cuz he’s so awesome, but mcdavid showed you what he thought of your charity, and rightfully so. Obviously he was the best player in the series BUT HIS TEAM DIDNT WIN. No other sport gives their championship MVP to the loser for a reason.
This guy sucks, he said Bob was lucky. Can we get better hockey people on ESPN? Embarrassing.
Hmm no Barkov. Ok...
Connor McDavid as the greatest of all time is just a 'now' talking point. I'm not a guy who says a player has to win to be great. If you even said third best, I'd be somewhat OK with it. He might one day be the greatest. Right now he is not. Having seen Gretzky in his prime and then watching Lemieux, there is no way that McDavid is better... just no way. McDavid is closer to Gretzky than Lemieux. Lemieux was a very different player than Gretzky. If the Panthers were to pick one for their team, I'd have no doubt it would be Lemieux with his ability to hold and control the puck without having to skate circles all over the place.
APOLOGIZE
Two games straight McDavid didn’t have a goal or even a shot! Oilers Can’t win game 7 if you score 1 goal. 🤷🏻♂️
Chokers?
It's okay. The series still had its chokers... The Edmonton "Cup or Bust" Oilers. 😂
ESPN's entire coverage sucked.. up to and including these clowns
that 1st florida goal .. he's standing in front of the net totally unopposed .. with a lucky tap that actually could have deflected it into teh goalie or made it go wide .. but the fact that he was there with no defense men is the rub ....
Coke Commercial
ESPN sucks
The Earth could be hit by an asteroid tomorrow, and these 2 would still be talking about Connor McDavid. C'mon! >:C
McNoCups 🍵 and the Deadmonton Diaper Soilers 🛢️💥💩 heading back to Canada as losers! Canada loses again to a Florida team 0-3 in finals since 2000. 😂
Stfu about McDavid. He'll never have his name on the cup. Ever.
Half the Florida Arena were Oilers fans...Most of Florida State did not watch the game, OR were aware it was even on....OR will ever care......What HISTORY was made? For who exactly?
Very salty. We’ll always remember and so will you 😉
Bro are u stupid or what? How do you think a fan base is build? Magic shit beans? How do you think a sport is build? History for Florida, History for the Panthers! Edmonton fans in the stadium.. of course dummy .. there will be relevance for the city of Edmonton.. they got only one thing .. the hockey team... if I lived in Edmonton I would also go and doil all I can do to get into that final game..
Florida's laughing at this guy with its 3 cups in the last 5 years. Get a tissue to wipe your tears bud
2nd straight season a team won their first cup, 2nd straight final for the FL Panthers, 5th straight final involving a team from Florida!... and this guy talking trash about Florida WTF, lol!
@@20sshilk Yes!!!...all that and Half the Florida Arena tonight were Oilers fans and most of Florida did not watch this game, care that it was on or ever care...You kind of proved my point.
Florida won because they’re an American team and Bettman hates Canada. There, save you all the time.
cope and seethe leaf boy
I'm so tired of this old excuse. Canada can't win because their best native players don't want to play in Canada.
@@INMATEofARKHAM The Conn Smyth Trophy winner does....Florida are mostly Yanks,, Russian Scumbags and Gary Bettman.
@@Adkeith47 you triggered enough by my comment to comment on my comment proves i am right 👍
@@INMATEofARKHAM they don’t want to play in Canada because they know they can’t win with a Canadian team because of Bettman. Thanks for pointing that out 👍
