In Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Edmonton Oilers were dominated by the Florida Panthers, losing 6-1 and incurring 21 penalties. Despite their frustrations, Oilers players asserted that the Panthers, known for their aggressive play, did not get into their heads. Winger Evander Kane remarked on the disparity in how penalties were enforced, while goalie Stuart Skinner described the game as a chaotic match that favored Florida's style of play. The incident-filled game swung the series lead to the Panthers at 2-1.
Kane said when the Oilers tried to match the Panthers' physicality and instigation, they were penalized, while Florida was not.
Right away, I thought we ended up playing what Florida kind of wanted: just a little bit of a track meet, a little bit of grinding, lots of penalties.
