Right now, considering the stakes, and the first-ever Stanley Cup lead in Panthers history, and that the scariest scorers in the sport haven’t so much as lit a lamp, it’s hard to find a goalie better than Bob.
Connor McDavid has a better idea of how the Dallas Stars felt last weekend after Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.
The Edmonton Oilers captain was the first to admit his team didn’t play its best in a series-clinching 2-1 win over the Stars, a Game 6 in which the Oilers were outshot 34-10.
The shot differential wasn’t quite the same on Saturday, but the script was similar. The Oilers outshot the Florida Panthers 32-17, and lost 3-0 in Sunrise, Fla.
“Maybe it was the Hockey Gods getting us back for that Game 6 where we probably didn’t deserve to win,” McDavid said. “Tonight, maybe we deserved at least one goal or maybe two goals and we don’t find a way to get them.”
