In Finland it’s the opposite, i feel like only they are talking about is Barkov, even though there are three other finns in Florida.

I literally just saw a 10 minute segment on the Finals on ESPNnews while at the gym just a while ago and it DID NOT EVEN MENTION FLORIDA. It was all about the Oilers.
Fucking unreal.

I generally don’t watch ESPN generally because their hockey analysis is absolute hot garbage compared to Hockey Night in Canada, but during and after game 1 I didn’t really see a ton of bias. Every analyst except for the Great One bet on Florida, and I’m pretty sure Wayner only bet on the Oilers for the obvious reason that he won 4 cups in Edmonton and was part of a dynasty team there.

Just going to copy and paste what I wrote in the game thread the other day:
I watch a significant amount of sports. Never in my life have I heard what is supposed to be a neutral announcer shamelessly suck a teams dick like this guy has the entire series. Even when Edmonton was getting their shit kicked in the first 3 games this guy kept their dick in his throat. I didn’t have an issue with the oilers prior to this series but this guy has singlehandedly made me hate them and holy fuck I want the oilers to lose this series just so this guy will finally shut the fuck up.

Yeah, most of what I’ve seen is the « announcers » talking about what the Oilers need to do to win.

Edmonton is the story right now guys. ESPN is hoping for a game 7 obviously for business reasons, casual fans with no stakes in these teams would love a game 7 because it’s fun, and most hockey boards out there want to see Edmonton come back from 3-0 just because it’ll be historic.
We need to stop worrying about what they’re saying. It’s us against the world, which means it’s only going to feel so much sweeter when we win tonight!!
¡VAMOS GATOS!

I was joking with my little brother that if the Panthers win, we are going to miss the presentation and celebration because they will cut away for an interview with McDavid or a drooling reflection from Messier about how the Oilers gave it their all, the trophy doesn’t really matter, and their gutsy comeback makes them the real winners, here.
The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) is not just presenting with a bias but a bias for the non-American team. It’s bizarre lol.

Soooo accurate

Even if the Panthers go up 6-0 into the final 3 minutes of the game all they will talk about is how McDavid will make another finals run and become the GOAT

I actually heard one of them call him McJesus! Did they watch the first three games?

Hey you know what, I’m honestly glad. Media attention off the boys, they can just play their game. Pressure is off them in a way

They’re all trash, but messier in particular can go sodomize himself with mcdavid bobble head

Been like this every series the Oilers have been in.

It’s been the Oilers, vs a team not the Oilers.

Leafs fan. I keep seeing the disrespect posts on your sub. You guys need to get on the high seas and watch a canadian broedcast. There is a lot of derrerence to oilers fans because, well, canada. But the broadcast up here, as well most fans have utmost respect for the cats. They are a beast team with a beauty coach. Good luck guys.

The entire intro is oilers highlights. They could lose this entire thing and they would still be rooting for oilers

Doesn’t matter what feed you watch it’s biased on every damn one it’s comical really.
Ok_Artichoke_2804
Been watching on sportsnet… only bieksa is unbiased on that panel.. though internally we all know he is rooting for luongo & panthers.
Rest of that panel is insufferable… obvious blatant bias towards oilers.
Commenting isn’t too bad.
Fuck Ron McLean… the most oilers ass kisser on there…
They even did some filming special for cheering for oilers before yesterday’s game started… they never did anything like that for panthers…

This makes me feel better knowing that I am not the only one who felt this way.

This is how the media is in Canada with the leafs and Mcdavid. It’s an absolute joke
