Panthers claw way to 2-0 Stanley Cup Final lead with win over Oilers

YardBarker - 46 days ago - The Panthers clawed their way back from an early deficit to put a stranglehold on the Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final. With its 4-1 win on Monday night, Florida is two wins away from its first NHL championship. Trailing by one after the first period, defenseman Niko Mikkola tied the game in the second. But center Evan Rodrigues, who signed with the Panthers as a free agent during the offseason, was the star of the game, scoring the tying goal in the third to give him goals in consecutive games. He then added a second goal 9:15 later to extend the lead. "I signed here for a reason," he told ESPN's Emily Kaplan following the game, noting how close Florida has been recently to winning a Stanley Cup. Game 2 marked Rodrigues' second multi-goal game of the playoffs; he first did so in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Bruins. For the Oilers, it's fair to wonder what else they can throw at the Panthers to turn this series around and win four of the next five games. Head coach Kris Knoblauch'

Look of the Day for 6/10: Oilers seek to even things up

YardBarker - 47 days ago - We're 6-3 in our Look of the Day picks over the last two weeks, so we're looking to keep this profitable stretch rolling. Let's head over to the ice for our favorite pick of Monday's slate. The Edmonton Oilers take on the Florida Panthers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Monday night, and we're looking for the Western Conference champs to even up the series. The Oilers lost, 3-0, in the first game of the series, but they actually outplayed the Panthers for much of the night. Edmonton outshot Florida, 33-18, in Game 1. According to MoneyPuck, the Oilers racked up a whopping 5.61 expected goals to the Panthers' 1.88. If you recreated that same game with the same chances 1,000 more times, Edmonton would be expected to win 84.9 percent of them. That's hard to fathom. Give credit where credit is due. Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky was unbelievable in Game 1, and it's nothing short of a miracle that he held the Oilers scoreless despite all the scoring chances they created. Bobrovsky has the same exa

Sergei Bobrovsky is firmly in the Conn Smythe conversation

YardBarker - 47 days ago - The Florida Panthers would not have made it to the Stanley Cup Final last year without the excellence of goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. The veteran found a way to bring Florida back from the dead in the first-round series against the Boston Bruins and was the easiest choice for a Conn Smythe Trophy winner for the playoff MVP if the Panthers had knocked off the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final. They didn’t, but now they have a chance to win the whole thing again in a Final matchup with the Edmonton Oilers. Bobrovsky might not be the sole reason his team has gotten this far, as he was last year. But he has still played a huge role. The 35-year-old leads all playoff goaltenders with a .915 save percentage and is second only to Juuse Saros of the Nashville Predators with a 2.08 goals-against average. Bobrovsky has played 12 more games. It was like old times for Bobrovsky and the Panthers in Game 1 of the Final on Saturday. Edmonton dominated, while Florida struggled to contain them or put together m
