What’s up everybody it’s your boy Lavoie here with a pick on the ice. In this one we’re heading to Edmonton where the Oilers host the Panthers in the middle of one of their most tumultuous seasons yet.
Florida on the other hand is buzzing, and the only talk surrounding their team is whether or not they are going to bring in Klingberg from Dallas to shore up their right side on the blueline.
So, with that in mind and these lines set, let’s take a look at this thing. Forewarning, I am an Oilers fan and have been since I was a child so this is going to be a bit of a rant.
Edmonton Oilers
This team is dead. They should have been frantically trying to add a competent goaltender before this next stretch started otherwise they can kiss this season goodbye.
Well, in typical Oiler fashion they of course didn’t, Skinner is in Covid protocols, Smith is once again on IR, Stalock is in a conditioning stint in the minors. So we’re stuck with Koskinen and I have no idea if we have a backup.
Honestly at this point I would take the zamboni driver from Carolina who beat the Leafs. Joking aside this team is in shambles, no changes have been made or are on the horizon.
Other than picking up the Antonio Brown of the NHL.
I wish Draisaitl and Mcdavid would get their agents together, order a meeting with Katz, Holland and Tippett, (somehow keep this out of the press) and tell them ”if you guys don’t make an immediate change to make this team better around us, we are both demanding trades.”
Beyond that, I do not know how this team gets fixed. It’s literally been 15 years since we had a good goalie.

Florida Islanders
Alright, with that out of the way let’s talk about this Panthers team who is my future pick this season to win the cup. This squad is 21-3 at home and are just dog walking everyone they face.
They are 2nd in the league behind only Colorado with 4.05 goals per game and 1st in the league with 36.9 shots on goal per game. The scariest part of that stat, is that they are 4th in the league in shooting %.
That is just insane, not typical that you see either players or teams who shoot that often having a percentage that good. Look out for this offence.

Free Edmonton Oilers vs. Florida Panthers NHL Prediction
I cannot bet on my beloved team right now. It makes me sick but they are just such a fractured squad right now and going up against a well oiled machine like the Panthers is just not a safe bet.
Setting aside the bias and frustration, this is also just not a good match up schematically for them. The Panthers use a really heavy and balanced attack with a focus on possessing the puck.
The Oilers defensive game as we all know is atrocious therefore I think the Panthers control this game from start to finish. And per thescore.ca Koskinen is expected, he is posting a 3.19 GAA right now.
Going against a team with that kind of shooting percentage and who takes that many shots, this one could get ugly.
