Wow McDavid taking over. Must the 3rd player to ever get at least 40 points in a playoff.

Even if Florida wins , McDavid should probably win the Conn Smyth. Bob has been bad back to back games.

Florida let the Oil take this game over early in the 2nd Period and watched McDavid have way too much room to operate.Bobrovsky with a bad goal allowed as well.Watching how bad the Oil are at defending gives them a chance but man did they play the early part of this game poorly.

4-3 now,If they continue to cycle in the Offensive Zone there will be plenty of good looks.

Of course the ref decides to call a dive on Tkachuk to take away the power play.

Once again refs calling games differently as the game goes on.

Even if Florida wins game 6, you have to give the Conn Smythe to McDavid.

This season is way too long lol. Feels like the Pens haven't played a game in 6 months.

Really want to get the off-season started already.

Yeah, I'm past ready for hockey to be over for a bit. Hockey when the temps are 90+ is ridiculous.

The extended breaks between Finals Games adds to it too.Just taking forever to play this Series.

Agree on McDavid getting the Conn Smythe.Games 4 and 5 got it for him.

Florida had better be ready for a tightly called contest in Game 6.They need to look at how they attacked late in the 2nd Period and the majority of the 3rd and go after them early.

McDavid and the Oilers are putting up some really impressive numbers. Breaking any of Gretzky's records (even in more games) is a feat. Bouchard breaking Coffey's record for assists in a playoff is also an eye opener. I love it. I hope they can take this to game 7 and win.

Why didn’t Tkachuk make sure the net came off when he made that crazy save? There was no way the ref would call it intentional.

Bold prediction but if Florida can manage to not give up a back breaking shorty early in the game I like their chances.

If I’m Edmonton I take a run at players until I get called for a penalty to see how nervous the Panthers are.

Real tough call. If it's that close the call on the ice should stand....although I am rooting for Florida.

Nobody needs Canada winning a cup.

Too close yes in real time but replay was easy. You could see the skate parallel over the line with an inch of white while the puck was still touching blue.

Bad on the Panthers to not get it in first and deciding to go horizontal before gaining the zone.

If Florida looses this series Maurice should just retire. He’s never winning his cup.

They went into cruise control late in Game 3,didn't show up and gave away Game 4 and since then its been a different team in every way.Nothing from guys like Verhaege,Reinhart and Bennett via scoring up front.Below average Goaltending from Bobrovsky.And a disaster from their PP.

The length of time with the Off Days between these games have helped the Oil big time IMHO.This Final feels like its taken a Month to Play.

Incomprehensible to spit up this series.Do not know how they will be able to deal with the pressure of that heading into Game 7.

This season is going to end so late that Florida might lose half their team to free agency before game 7.
