Article content
Said the fan who posted the coffin meme, David @David954FLA: 'Florida Panthers are one win away from winning the Stanley Cup. Tuesday can't come fast enough. What an opportunity.'
Of course, not all Panthers fans and commentators were quite so swaggering in their optimism. Here are some. of the highlights of their social media commentary and podcast talk heading into Game 5 on Tuesday night, much of it heating up on after Florida's convincing 5-2 win over the Oilers, and one day before Father's Day:
Panther Pourri: A Florida Hockey Now Podcast @PantherPourri
The Panthers are the better team. There isn't anything surprising about this result. We'll see if Edmonton's desperation effort can force game 7.
Commentator Cody Stevens, the Cats 'N' Rats podcast
Edmonton just has not been good enough 5-on-5 in this series.
Commentator T.J. Peterson, the Panther Pourri podcast

The Panthers will smell blood in the water. They are the defending Stanley Cup Champions. This will be the hardest game for Edmonton to win. They need to be ready to go. This is a repeat, as I have written it before, but it still applies: The Oilers need to swing a forward deep to help deal with Florida's forecheck.

I would begin with both Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on the same line. It is critical that the Oilers not chase this game. They have had to do so most of this series.
