Fans bash Edmonton Oilers after 4-1 loss to Florida Panthers in Game 2 of Stanley Cup Final
NHL fans expressed their frustration and bashed the Edmonton Oilers for their performance in the 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals on Monday at Amerant Bank Arena.
The Panthers once again displayed their dominance in the series, replicating their Game 1 success and effectively controlling the Edmonton Oilers throughout the game.
Edmonton was outshot 19-29 on the night and will be returning home trailing 2-0 in the series. Game 2 also marked the second consecutive occasion where the Cats secured a convincing three-goal win. In Game 1, the Cats blanked the Edmonton Oilers with a 3-0 win.
The Oilers now find themselves in a do-or-die situation as the teams leading 2-0 in a Cup final typically win the series 91% of the time. Here’s how fans reacted to the Edmonton Oilers’ Game 2 defeat on X (formerly Twitter) with one tweeting:
“HOLD THIS L CANADA”
Another fan reacted to the defeat and said:
“Dirtiest, most fraudulent team in the cup finals this century. Lmaoooooooo, y’all an embarrassment”
“TRIED TO INJURE HALF THE TEAM AND STILL LOST LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO,” one X user posted.
Here are some of the other top reactions on X:
“Think it’s maybe time for a forward to score a goal? Maybe get more than 6 shots in a period? The last four periods have been about as worst case a scenario as could have been imagined for the Oilers,” commented another.
Another fan chimed in with their series prediction:
“Listen up Oilers fans. I said it once and I’ll say it again. The SCF has already happened. It was either going to be the Rags or Cats hoisting the cup. I was predicting 4-1 for the Cats, but I’m starting to think this will be a sweep. McDavid is not very good.”
“Where was Conor McDavid?????’ another X user wrote.
