Panthers hockey world reacts to Edmonton Oilers beating Florida in Game 1

Article content How is Florida Panthers hockey country taking Edmonton's 4-3 OT win over their favourite team? What are they blaming the loss on? The mainstream media, social media and podcasts were full of theories. Here are some of the highlights, with some neutral commentary included as well: Article content Florida fan Jacob Winans @JacobWinans8 Nico Sturm in for Nosek next game. My goodness what a costly mistake. I miss Kevin Stenlund Florida fan kyle @Kylepuck16 We didn't lose the game because of the penalty in overtime so stop blaming Nosed Florida fan Adam @AGBRSports I've got nothing good or positive to say. Florida fan Erik 😺🏆🐀 @erik_on_hockey The good news is, this is among the worst Florida has looked this postseason, so I expect a big response from them. It ain't over yet Florida Panthers Insider George Richards @GeorgeRichards The Florida Panthers had never lost a playoff game under Paul Maurice when leading after the first or second. Until tonight. Leon Draisaitl scores the first and final goal as the Oilers take Game 1 of the Cup Final in OT. Article content Article content Panthers fan Jacob Winans @JacobWinans8 The overtime mistakes and dead legs were bad. But it never has to get there if the Panthers play with an ounce of urgency in the third. To come out at only get two shots on goal the entire third period was completely unacceptable Bill Horosz of the On the ProwlL Florida Panthers Den podcast Panthers were taken off guard by the Oilers being physical last night. That won't happen again. With that they also need to establish a consistent forecheck. It was almost nowhere to be found in Game 1. Florida fan Dylan @miamiguydylan The Oilers beat Bob on the glove side for all 4 goals tonight. Just something worth noting Florida fan mathias @MathiasMejia_ panthers had an off night and still were able to take a fiery edmonton team to OT. they'll be ok Panthers goallie Sergei Bobrovsky There were lots of good things. We put it behind us and get ready for the next game. The next game is a big game. Article content ESPN's ᴀʀᴅᴀ Öᴄᴀʟ @Arda Leon Draisaitl in the Stanley Cup Final: 2024: 0 goals in 7 games on 16 shots on goal 2025: 2 goals in 1 game on 4 shots on goal Florida fan @VinMasiDylan @miamiguydylan Panthers played a fantastic second period and then something just changed. Played terrible the rest of the game. Florida fan Jacob Winans @JacobWinans8 (Fourth line players) Nosek, Greer, Gadjo needs to be a package. If they're not all in the game, none can be in the game. That line was god awful tonight Florida fan Dylan @miamiguydylan Stupid penalty by Nosek leads to that. Going to cry Panthers fan Adam @AGBRSports Like there was no need for that Nosek penalty. Time running out in the period He had time and space. Just play it up the ice, clear the zone. Don't throw it into the stratosphere. Brilliance from Draisaitl and McDavid. Wow. Probably a pretty good sign for the Oilers in the big picture of this series that they were able to comeback and win in a game that was largely dictated by the Florida forecheck. Article content Bill Horosz of the On the ProwlL Florida Panthers Den podcast Players seemed very calm and matter of fact during postgame interviews. A little too calm for my taste. Paul Maurice was heaping praise on Nosek for what he did in Game 3 vs. Toronto and said we wouldn't be here (Finals) if it wasn't for him. Panthers fan TONY-O @MojoFilter64 Seth Jones with the overplay on the side boards near the blue line on RNH caused this play (the winning OT goal) to happen ….. should have forced him inside toward Marchand but he didn't. Panthers fan Koby Doran @Lyteskin_Prince Reinhart, Barkov, Ekblad all being ghost in the most important games lol. Might as well play Bennett line and Marchand line 60 minutes. Panthers fan Robbie @GVGC1970 Panthers were the better the team. Never easy on the pp when they've got McDavid and Drisital. Panthers in six. 👊 Cat 'N' Rats podcaster Kirby Lupul— 😼 🏆 😼 @KJ_Lups Draisaitl performance along with depth scoring / Dman scoring. Really felt FLA needed Game One in this series. A split in Edmonton is essential. First pairing (Ekblad and Forsling) really bothers me vs EDM in playoff matchup- speed and power of Edmonton eats them up Article content Panthers fan Dr. Debunker@doctordebunker Tkachuk @TKACHUKycheese_ lost this game for us. Watch this guy on the ice. Slow as molasses. Hes clearly hurt. Not the same player. Give someone else a shot and sit this one out big guy…Get Tkachuck off the ice . Guy is clearly playing hurt and it shows. Not skating. Put someone else in who gives us a chance Florida fan Jacob Winans @JacobWinans8 Boy there's nothing I love more than a Matthew Tkachuk Great Clips commercial after he just spent the evening doing absolutely nothing of value in Game 1 of the Final Panthers fan ZeroTrust Capo @The_CyberDon You can't make a terrible mistake like that. Nobody was even pressing you Nosek!!! Panthers fan M33 @Moore33Gaming What a stupid way to lose a game. Bill Horosz of the On the ProwlL Florida Panthers Den podcast Don't sit on a lead. When you get a couple of goals past Skinner, dial up the pressure even more. Panthers failed to do that. With that Panthers need to have a net front presence to screen Skinner and deflect shots/handle rebounds. Article content Panthers fan zubic @zubic_eth What an absolute fumble after being up 2 goals 😭 Panthers fan John Ricard @johnricard Could the media gush any more for Edmonton and Mcdavid? It was gross. Florida fan Big Hits 🇺🇸🎸🏒⛳ @young5skiers Head up… It took a penalty call late in overtime to give the Oilers a chance to win the game. If I'm Florida, I'm feeling pretty confident 😎 Florida fan *WADDLEVILLE* @WADDLEVILL61682 They cheated y'all. It's all good though. Only win they'll have 4 dubs till B2B Florida Panthers championships! @SazonBailando Woke up feeling like I got stabbed last night. That OT Oilers goal killed me. ESPN's John Buccigross @Buccigross 14 of the previous 18 Game 1 OT winners have gone on to win the Stanley Cup Final. Florida fan FL PanthersMuse @flpanthersmuse Bobby last night: — .913 SV% — 42 saves — 4 GA — 11 high-danger saves Kept us in it🙏🏻 Florida fan Adam – 🙀🏆 @FlaPnthrsPunk Bob deserved better. Must win in Game 2. 😾 Florida Panthers player Sam Bennett It was a one-goal game, a tight game. It could've went either way. They had a good push in the third. Article content Latest National Stories
