For what it’s worth, this series has paved the way for hockey gaining a lot more fans. Many people who have never watched a game are tuning in because they want to see the impossible, or see what they thought was impossible in the talent on the ice. We will look back at this 10 years from now very fondly.
I already am a fan, timing is a bit tough to get the games here in Brazil, but I watched games #1 and #6. Now I'm even more of a fan.
If I tell what I think about people that don't qualify this as an all time classic final Shannon will ban me for life
@@otaviofrn_advthis series is as good as the advertisements have been, big game feels each night, storylines of Stu, McDavid, Bob and Barky feeding into the mainstream. Every game not being an eyesore and watching people play like their body doesn’t matter. Players like Brown, Broberg and OEL getting some redemption after being written off. The best player in the world getting primetime focus. This is the first year I truly got into the sport and I’m so glad I did.
Too bad none of these past three games have gone down to the wire. Hopefully game 7 does.
Hi it’s me. I started watching during the Panthers Bruins series. Never really followed hockey closely before but I love sports and the NBA playoffs were SO boring.
I’m all in on hockey now can’t wait to watch game seven and even the draft.
Thats your assumption. I have watched hockey since 1971. a long termer. and I liked the league more in the 1970s-1990s than now. NHL to be like most things has become greedy. priced out of games also. And I from Boston Hartford became a Panthers fan as my wife is from Florida and I 've been so angered at Panthers in last 3 games I had to turn the game off tonight mid way. So you're loving it I assume says you're an Oiler fan. Congratulations on your glee. like the Panthers owner I wanted to throw a water bottle at the wall. I'm angry at Panthers for stupid penalties and not on their game saying howe could you let this happen? I also assume you are young and were not around to know hockey in 1970s-1990s.
Either its the biggest choke in history or the biggest let down in history. Either way, we're memeing on monday.
meme economy will thrive - UrinatingTree
You can't call it a choke. They've been playing. It's the finals. There are no bad teams, there are only better teams. This is where you see the difference between great and greater
@@roberjohnsmith uh yeah... You absolutely can. What are you talking about 😂
Meme Professors: Give us Chaos or Give us More Chaos!!
It’s a win-win for fans that don’t have any rooting interests!!
Calling it a choke is lazy. There are many reasons why the Oilers have won the past three games, and none of them involve the Panthers getting too nervous to play well.
It's happening again. I have discounted and doubted Edmonton in literally every matchup yet they come out and play like a real, championship team
Even if they lose, I’m very happy with this season. This team is for real. That’s something I haven’t said since the late 80s/early 90s. Even 2006 felt different. Then, we were just watching in disbelief that they were in the Finals. This time feels different. Win or lose, it’s amazing as a lifelong Oilers fan to see something amazing.
Notice they started winning when the cup entered the building. Its symbolic
Me too. I wasn't too impressed with them in rounds 1 or 2. They were down 2-1 to Dallas and kicked Dallas all over the ice after that. Maybe this will happen in the Florida series?
@oilersridersbluejays - be real there winning . Home ice might help Monday but it means little With there momentum edm has and this never say die roach attuide . They say it'll be the hardest Monday but they know they have fla now
Trust me, I am no Edmonton fan. But just wow! This is hockey is about. If they take it, I will bow down.
ESPN has been talking more hockey than ever. You see comments on every hockey related video from people who never watched but are zoned in for game 7. Hockey is truly the greatest playoff sport.
I love it Grow the Game and redirect them to THG
Only thing missing is Gary Thorne on the call
@@4partharmony208 well you have messier a homer for the oilers
5m canadian viewers. ?us viewers? Now that boring basketball is over? Great drama can help viewers.
Soon the Cup will be painted gold for a hockey world cup soccer ⚽️ style 😆
Imagine telling someone in November there’s a strong chance in late June that the Oilers win the Stanley Cup without Draisaitl scoring a goal
And coming back from a 3-0 series deficit in the Stanley Cup Finals
And winning game 6 without a point from McDavid

@@aidensarrazin8001 what was his name again?! I think his name was Pickard??? Yeah that guy! 😂
Canuks and Dallas are/were scarier offensively than FLA. If Edm lost to Van (could hsve been possible), they would have trouble with Dal, but all 3 would likely beat FLa.
Are tbey injured, or just can't skate with Edm?
So many people made fun of Coach Knoblauch when he said they could beat the panthers, and look at them now.
They have beaten the Panthers 3 times in row Monday could be 4th 😆
Too bad it took recruiting the refs and the league to pull it off.
@@winkletown8828 lol
@@winkletown8828 defintely. sure ..ok. haha
I Don't know if people knew this the rangers were grooming him to be their next coach this guy doesn't get enough credit for working with the young players
Potentially the 28-3 of hockey.
I compare it to the Yankees and Red Sox: ALCS 2004.
Yankees had like 26 titles and were a couple removed from a dynasty though. The Panthers went two decades plus without a playoff series win and lost in the final last year. The franchise won't ever recover from this.
@@patelron6 yeah but this is in the championship series. Also the conditions are kinda similar to 28-3
This might be even worse
The Panthers are from the South as well like Atlanta Falcons
This has been the best final in my lifetime. Purely from an objective standpoint, and removing the fact that I'm a diehard Avs fan, I think this has been better than that series in 2022. Even though nothing will beat the sweet taste of victory of watching your team win the cup. From an entertainment perspective, this is just oozing spectacle.
as a fellow Avs fan I agree but i was also racked with nerves during that series
@@JBTriple8 once they went up 3-1 off that Kadri OT winner, I knew they were winning the cup.
As a Lightning fan, I completely agree. These finals have just been fun.
That parade in Denver was my happiest moment as a sports fan. I liked that series better for obvious reasons but this one from a national perspective is the best there’s been in a while. I mean, who comes back from down 0-3 to force a game seven? Can’t make that up.
@@thenextgreat8652 Only 10 teams have ever done that, force a game 7 after down 3-0, not sure if that is any playoff hockey series, or just the finals.
If you're a neutral hockey fan, this series has been, and will be, one of the best and most entertaining finals witnessed in decades.
As an Oilers fan I literally think I'm in a dream. They can actually do it.
@@CastleBrookKrew They absolutely can.
Regardless of who wins game 7, we are all winners. WHAT A SERIES!
Hopefully it won't be a blowout and we get proper game 7 drama.
I wish I could say that as a Florida fan if they lose. Great series tho regardless.
Not the panthers fans that’s for sure
@@KevinBrevinor people that hate the Oilers!
yeah more Hockey this is a Post-Pandemic Post Season that is going to game 7.
As a panther fan for the last 10ish years these last few weeks have brought me to the edge of cardiac arrest which is worrying as a teenager
😂
As a fan since 1996 yea know exactly the feeling.
Get the Paramedics on standby cause it's not over yet.
Seek medical attention.
Unlike Vancouver, your team could win the cup in your lifetime if you reach the average lifespan.
I just hope they don't win this one.
welcome to panthers hockey. it only get worse from here
At this point, I'd be shocked if Florida wins. They don't even look like they belong on the ice against the Oilers. Crazy series.
They will come out hard on home ice. Feels like it’s Edmonton who may be overconfident now. Tonight it felt like Florida just wanted to get back home.
@@thebigpicture2032 Quite the opposite; Florida grew an ego after game 3 and now they're at loss playing against a team that figured them out. This is like the Leafs choking against the Habs in first round back in 2021... but a hundred times worse because their choke is happening in a Stanley Cup Finals.
Canucks in 2011 had 3-0 lead. Game 4, 5,6 they were outscored 16-5 and lost all games. They won in game 7 OT
@@anthonyrousseau8050 Nurse was playing like he had grown an ego. That should be enough to scare any Oilers fan.
@@thebigpicture2032I very respectfully disagree. Game could absolutely go either way but Edmonton has talked on and on since game 4 about just being loose and having fun. They look confident but there is no shade of ego on them right now. It’s inspiring to see.
Florida can absolutely still take this and I think they’ve worked hard as hell but they have spent the last week looking very dejected, and like Andrew Raycroft said, they have a 7.5 hour flight to feel dejected. Meanwhile Oilers are playing Mario Kart.
What's scary for Florida is that McDavid didn't have a big night, and he rarely has two off-games in a row. He could carry the team offensively on Monday and complete the comeback.
That right there should scare the Panthers to death! The Oilers have the top 3 scorers in the playoffs, going all the way through to the Finals. Other two teams that did that, Pitrsburgh and Edmonton, won the Cup.about to be # 3.
look, if McDavid does in game 7 30% of what he did in game 5 this cup will go north of the border to the provincial capital of Alberta
That’s the scary part.
Or he can have a big game, other Oil skaters don't do shit, we get a total effort from Panthers, Panthers win G7
He only played 18 minutes. I think the coach realized the team was firing on all cylinders. So it's better not to risk having him out there. And to be well rested for game 7.
Not counting seeing my Red Wings win in 2002 and 2008, this might go down as the best Stanley Cup Final I've ever seen after thinking it was one of the most boring after Game 3. I can hardly believe it and I'm not a fan of either team. Words don't describe my hype for Monday night.
As a Wings fan who grew up in Michigan, and always rooted for Edmonton as my Canadien team even as a kid, this is a remarkable Cup Final. Those 2008/2009 series against the Pens will always be my top 1-2
@@jleif7736 I do miss the 06-09 seasons with Datsyuk and Zetterberg
There was actually a lot of body-checking back then, so this is the Shinny version of NHL.
2009 was way better. Great save Fluery
Win it for Ben. For Joey. For Dwayne Roloson's knee. For Ryan Smyth. For the lost decade. For the North.
Just win it.
EDIT: Thank you all for adding to the list. Keep em coming
Yes.
Do this for the crying fan at the conference final win.
Head down. Crying.
Tapping in Morse code on the glass:

And for Joey Moss !
Ales Hemsky too. The best hockey player born in in the wrong generation
Sam gagner is on this team too, hope I get to see him raise the cup in an oilers jersey
Yes, yes, and yes. Definitely adding Joey to that list
Red Wings fan here. I genuinely feel bad for Panthers fans here, but man Edmonton and their fans have really showed up these playoffs as well. I've been impressed every time the games are in Edmonton, good to see the passion for their team. If the Cats win, awesome, I hope they get their first cup! If not, Edmonton you really earned it!
yes and it was wonderful classy when all those edmonton fans booed the US national anthem also. just class all around.
@dennis3351 no one booed the anthem, they were chanting "sergei" the at the start. It was florida fans that booed the canadian anthem, yall are scum and deserve the L
@@dennis3351 I don't think that happened at all.
@@smackfpv They were chanting "Sergei" at Bobs, it clearly was not a booing. Oilers fans were just getting a little rowdy and impatient.
@@devackroyd I agree, there is nothing but respect for the American National anthem in every Canadian arena. Not sure what Dennis is on about.
please go live for game 7 Shannon, you could go live on Twitch and you wouldn't put your channel at jeopardy for copyright strikes - or you could mute your TV and stay on youtube but we would all follow you to twitch just for the one livestream.
He has been flagged by NHL before for going Live with the game playing in the background years before.

Great idea…but the NHL and TH-cam would claim copyright on it
Oooh!...now that's an idea.
@@lewisyaworski8962Well that really sucks.
@@lewisyaworski8962 im pretty sure as long as theres no audio or video of the game then its fine no?
I will subscribe to premium if Shannon goes live for game 7. No lie. No BS.
Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final! What more can a hockey fan ask for? Whatever happens on Monday night, 2 things are certain. The Stanley Cup will be awarded and history will be made. Either the 5th reverse sweep in NHL history and only the 2nd in the history of the Stanley Cup Final or a team wins their first Stanley Cup averting the dreaded reverse sweep. We may even see the Conn Smythe awarded to a player from the losing team for only the 6th time ever. Oh, and if the reverse sweep happens it'll be the first Stanley Cup win by a Canadian team in 31 years. This is gonna be a game for the ages. Is it too much to ask for overtime?
Nah Oilers gonna put the boot on their throat and show em how to close a series
Would also only be the 2nd skater to win the Conn Smythe on a losing team.
Hockey wins
I dont want no OT....I want Oilers coming out guns a blazing!....with a 3 0 lead after 1st....THATS MY HOPE!
no overtime no please no
Might be the greatest series I've ever watched since I started watching hockey in 2009
LETS GO OILERS!!!!!!
This is coming from a Calgarian, who is a Jets fan. Can’t wait to watch game 7!!!!!! COME ON EDMONTON PLEASE FINISH THE JOB!!!!!!!!
Since this is the longest distance between teams in the SCF, and the cup has been in the building since game 4, this has to also be the most distance the cup has traveled in a series
The Oilers PK has been amazing
This series is done. Florida is COMPLETELY out of gas. Bob is going to have to steal game 7 for them to win, but the Oilers have completely solved him the last 3 games.
Bob isn't playing good enough to steal anything. He's toast.
Just like last year against Vegas, they just don't have it
@@martharunstheworld But it's a fair chance he's gonna start Game 7, but I feel like Paul Maurice is going to have Stolarz at the ready. I don't think he's going to wait long if Bobs shows signs of struggling.
I’m just glad we didn’t face your team in the WCF this time. Dallas was scary enough.
After game 4, Pickard was given the plunger. I'm still curious about how a player that didn't play, gets a team award for the win. Wonder if it was Pickard that noticed Bob's weekness.
Can confirm that if you didn't get out of the arena a couple minutes early, you weren't getting a seat at any bar, restaurant or pub anywhere in a 20 kilometre radius
This has been a wild ride. Incredible series. This is the year I decided to watch every Oilers game in the playoffs, and I am loving it. This is going to be an incredible game 7. I can't wait!
And Janmark has been impressing me so much. They said this was his 90th playoff game. I hadn't realised he'd been in so many playoff games.
Imagine. Florida being on the wrong end of a historic collapse after taking out those 65 win Bruins last year…
They’ve gone from karma to amrak.
As a bruins fan I’m enjoying this 😂😂
We’ve got ourselves a classic series on our hands. No matter what the result will be, game 7 is a must watch for all of us.
I think game 7 can be the best ratings of this century for the NHL
If Panthers start like last 3 games, I will have to turn game off and call it a season. I'll tune into the Hershey Bears game instead.
I won’t be watching it, I’ll be crying in my closet
@@dennis3351- there last 3 games is exactly why they won't win. Both teams don't have game 7 scf expirence tho but this momentum plus McDavid and draistl hard to pick against in a game 7
@@kodychong9568almost no teams have game 7 scf experience tbf, you’d think that the best 2 teams from each conference would typically go 7 games but it’s usually 6 and recently it’s been 5
For those living in a other city, I can tell you right now, this entire city is buzzing. Laugh all you want, like fun all you want, but this is the greatest thing to happen to Edmonton in forever.
At least since 2006.
I have never seen THG this animated. Very entertaining recap.
Oilers have stymied the Panthers forecheck that has crushed Bruins and Rangers. The forecheck has been the Panthers edge. W/o that I'm not sure what they do.
Panthers one dimensional.....you take away their forecheck ..they have nothing else...Oilers figured it out...
they can go back to their old self of huberdaue days high scoring team mentality
Hard for me to believe Panthers were out shot 11-2 at one point. But what a series
The thing with this series is even though they were down 0-3, Edmonton was the better team overall to that point, goaltending made that 0-3. Skinner started making saves and the Oilers started winning
And Bouch stopped giving the puck away.....
Game 1 they definitely were..not sure i agree about games 2 & 3 though.
@@ssmith87except for maybe the 3rd period of Game 3. That’s where signs of an Edmonton comeback originated from. It was a far different game in that period but Florida “survived”. I’m not sure what happened in Game 4 to where the Cats just looked……bad?? Or deflated?? But it’s always a bad sign of a massive collapse.
@@samuelfrick3475 Hot take but Barkov hasn't looked the same since getting smashed in the face either. He's probably playing more hurt than they are letting on.
@@ssmith87 Edmonton dominated game 1, were bad in game 2 but to me played better than Florida in game 3, the whole momentum change narrative is kinda odd since Florida really only controlled 1 game
I think the Panthers are gassed right now, unless of course they are going to pull off an UNO reverse on the NHL.
Why? They did not seem to be up to game 3, second half
the oilers are used to the long plane rides, and the last two in particular for florida were probably really draining
Oilers are did the uno reverse. They been doing the uno reverse
Renaud Lavoie said it best on TVA Sports: "Either the Panthers are ribbing us all... Or they have no chance of winning game 7."
Bend but don't fucking BREAK is the oilers motto. 5D chess by knoblauch and Coffey has old school paul Morris tapped out for a counter-punch. WHERES TKACUK...OR BARKOV....YOURE FUCKIN DONE!!
I started watching hockey because a friend of mine from another country used to play the game. My country doesn't have a hockey tradition, but I knew the game already, but didn't know any of its history or rules. Went through days and days watching and reading, even bought a copy of NHL 20 so I could play it. Picked the Panthers as a team of choice because I liked the aesthetics and because it was the team that chose to acquire me in the Be A Pro mode. I enjoyed watching old clips, I enjoyed watching them play, I even managed to listen to all games that didn't happen to be on TV via the NHL app. I devoted precious time, time that I could have spent studying for tests, time that I could have spent on myself, among other stuff. I was very excited to see that all Panthers playoffs games were going to be on TV, and even my dad, who doesn't know anything about hockey, he started cheering for them too, as I explained things to him during the games and we saw how this team made this insane run to the Finals again. But... I just can't take it anymore.
The Panthers' history is a very sad one, a team that had everything to be good, but unfortunately, appears to be cursed. Game 7, something I did not want to happen, is upon us. We're looking at 2 possibilities: the Panthers' first cup, or the Panthers' downfall. Yes, the downfall, as this choke might actually send the team back into relocation talks, if they somehow don't fold completely (which would unironically break two 1942 records: the first choked 3-0 lead since 1942 and the first franchise to fold completely since the Brooklyn Americans in 1942). Oilers fans have 5 cups to brag about.
They wont fold lots of people wanna buy teams if anything they get moved
not going to fold, not going to move. Florida is a place players want to play for the lower taxes, mild winter weather (they all live in communities that have boat docks in their back yards), and anonymity in the community, which they get none of those things playing in Canada. The Stanley Cup is incredibly hard to win, getting to the Finals two years in a row is a big deal. They will be a strong team again next year and considered to be a contender for sure.
When the Panthers played for the cup in 96; was rooting hard for them over here. Vanbiesbrouck tried but the team just wasn't ready.
Can not root for them this year; or any year until they clean up their game. Their "anything to win" mentality has led them to become a crew of dirty-hitting, cheap-shotting dive artists with few redeeming qualities. It's embarrassing for the state of Florida; capped off by the moment when the fans in Sunrise booed during the Canadian national anthem.
Go Oilers, get the cup and take it home to Canada.
First of all..
Welcome to hockey...
I'm a Ranger fan and I understand how you feel...
Win or lose...enjoy the moments with your dad...you will remember game 7 forever brother....
Greetings from New York City...
A few takes on your comment from a lifelong Oilers fan who was fortunate enough to remember their cup wins in ‘88 and ‘90.
-Teams in the NHL don’t fold anymore. It could happen, but it’s very unlikely. Relocations alone aren’t so common neither. Bettman loves Sun Belt US teams (look at the decades-long Coyotes debacle). The Panthers (as well as the Oilers) are both elite teams. Unless Florida decides to “retool” or “rebuild” (which would be foolish IMO), they won’t suddenly collapse. If they do lose Game 7 (which is very possible), there isn’t any reason to not expect them to be in the playoffs and do a deep run again next season. But, if one looks at the morale, having a 3-0 series lead in the Final and losing the series 4-3 could really play mind games on the players, and perhaps even the coaching and management staffs. It’s not really chartered waters, it only happened once before in the Finals in ‘42 where all of those players have since passed sway and not a lot of people living would have even listened to the games on radio (no TV then).
However, don’t consider it a choke. Edmonton is a very dangerous team and have been considered cup favourites by many respected hockey pundits for the last two or three years. Remember, Edmonton is a very deep team that has went through both a lot of diversity and a lot of insanely good play this season.
I wouldn’t really be concerned about the Panthers. If their on ice play fumbles and they start missing the playoffs frequently as they did in the not so distant past, then MAYBE I would be concerned about a possible relocation. Until then, enjoy the ride and cheers from one hockey fan to another. Don’t stop believing. The Panthers are going to be a very dangerous team for at least a few years yet.
Oilers are 5-0 while facing elimination in theses playoffs and are about to go 6-0. unreal.
feels like the 2014 kings that would never die. good luck florida, you gonna need it
Funny how you are saying this now and not before the series started many wannabe experts crawling out of the woodwork.
@@rickhammond2473 um... u still drunk i assume. good for u
I am so happy we got seven. I would love a Canadian team to finally get one. If Florida wins, they absolutely did what it took to get here, so I won't feel bad. And as soon as that game is over, it means the season is officially over, new season is under way, and the Flyers are going to be UNDEFEATED for months as they can't lose a game until September.
Monday night is gonna be historic. Every hockey fan anywhere should be watching. Either the Panthers get their first ever championship (amazing option one) and the most winningest regular season coach without a ring gets his ring (Maurice)
OR
The Edmonton Oilers summit Everest. They do the impossible. They complete the miracle. The first team since 1942 to come all the way back from 3-0 down in a cup final. The second Canadian team to do it (which would be WILD, I'd love that as a bit of trivia) in a cup final, and only the fifth team in NHL history and the sixth team every in all 3 of the sports that do best of seven playoff series (MLB or NBA has one cannot remember which) to come all the way back from being down 3 games to 0 in a best of 7.
This series has been history making already. The oilers shattering all record books for the penalty kill, over 93% are you absolutely kidding me. They are only on a -1 goal differential when shorthanded! That's absurd. Thats ridiculous, that should be illegal. They've given up 4 powerplay goals all playoffs and have scored 3 shorthanded goals. Wild.
Mcdavid breaking the record for assists in a playoff run and he has a game left to add to that gap. The man had 8 points in games four and five combined. Fucking 8!!! That's silly. That's wild. In two games he turned into a point per game player in this series. More than a point per game, even with this going seven. That's just absolutely absurd. That's a captain putting his team on his back and more or less willing his team to defy death. And they did. And it seems to have inspired his teammates up and down the lineup, cause as Shannon said game six? They didn't need him on the score sheet. Guys like Foegele, guys like Henrique, these depth guys have bought into the belief Mcdavid has basically forced down their throats and they are all in and were absolutely heroic in game six. Nugent-Hopkins has been under the radar an absolute puck eating defensive zone breakout preventing monster, just consuming breakout attempts by the Panthers out of their end like the cookie monster on a box of chocolate chip cookies. Skinner has come alive in these last three games, just refusing to lie down and die, no fear, absolute ice water in his veins! This series has been wild, chapter 1 saw the panthers dominate. Chapter two sees the oilers, led by their captain, rise from the dead. Now we get a hell of an ending stanza in Florida on Monday night.
That game is can't miss for anyone who loves playoff hockey, you have to watch it. Don't matter if you gotta be late to work on Tuesday, don't matter. You gotta watch it.
Zito had his poker face on for this game after the Game 5 meltdown
Zito will have a major chank, and burn down the suite when the Panthers lose on Monday
line up the water bottles for him to "lift"
What Oilers did last night was fantastic. If you really want to understand the depths of frustration on the Panthers, it was displayed by Paul Morrice's completely unhinged, screaming tirade on the bench after the offside goal was disallowed. That was more than rage about what Paul felt was a bad call. It was an opportunity for him to vent his rage and total frustration about the Panthers losing three games in a row, and now on the verge of losing the Stanley Cup. Poor Paul thought he had it all in the bag a couple of games ago, and like Bobby Luongo and all the other Panthers management, were all set to get measured for their Stanley Cup rings. GO OILERS!
It might be a drastic statement, but to me, the Panthers are playing for their franchise on Monday night. No team is getting back to a 3rd Cup Final after losing 2 of em in a row. And with the changes coming with Reinhart and Montour probably leaving, Bob not getting any younger and Knight likely not being the successor like they thought and just this overall cloud that these last 3 games have created. They might never recover from this if they lose Monday night. Probably a solid team moving forward but not a Cup contender anymore.
Or...they could win?
Either way we gotta Game 7 so thats awesome. Hoping for OT.
If we've learned anything from this past 3 games, it's that Reinhart and Montour aren't the kind of guys you keep if you want to win the cup. These two have been the worst chokers of the entire team. Verhaege has been ass, but also he has a history of being clutch before.
Reino ain't leaving. Montour can go.
@@romaliop But these are the guys that have gotten them to a 3-0 lead in the Cup finals lol. I dont think the Panthers just become better if they lose a 50 goal scorer. And we all know that Reinhart is going to have a ton of teams in on him ready to toss 10 mil a year his way. He's as good as gone IMO.
@@jorssu13 If he wants to stay there I'm sure he'll take a little less $$. But so many teams are going to want to pay him. Gonna be hard if he is offered 8 years at 10 per and all Florida is offering is 6 for 48.
@@NothingToPointOut24 Doesn't matter. They want to win the cup and you're not doing that with a guy who goes missing under pressure. Reinhart scored 57 goals and if someone is gonna pay him accordingly, it cannot be a Panthers team that looks to win the cup.
No more “oilers are just McD and dri…”. They’ve gotta hard working and cooperative full team. Of course you could build a better fantasy team but we’re in the real world… right? Bouchard and Hyman had insane seasons and many others stepped up when needed. Including skinner.. I had the same thought tonight too as it was glaringly obvious. This is a great team! Lead by a great staff. Truly impressive to see live. I’m sure many of us thought “if any team can reverse sweep it’s this one.” Their game has gone from “out score our problems” to “you all can play d.. let me teach you..” and this is clearly the path going forward for any other team that actually wants to win the cup. Everyone must put in the effort on every foot of the ice or they’re leaving effort in the tank. Shorter shifts and harder effort are the way forward. It’s why hockey is so special. Just imagine soccer but with line changes… o wait! We don’t have to…
This is absolutely INSANE and I’m loving it!! Let’s go Oilers!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I really think the momentum turned after EDM scored those 2 goals in the 3rd period of Game 3. Remember, the narrative was all about how the OIlers were outplaying the Panthers at times but they just couldn't get it going against Bobrovsky. It looked like Bob was in the heads of all the Oilers players but once they cracked the code as it were, things changed.
I do wonder what would've happened tonight if Barkov's goal wasn't taken away. It was clearly the right call but if Barkov's goal had counted then things might've gotten REALLY interesting. Got to give the Edmonton crowd their flowers. They were crazy loud in the Dallas series and willed the Oilers to victory in one of the games and they've been a factor in the SCF as well.
I'm really hoping the OIlers can pull off the impossible.
pain
panthers pulling off a choke job that would make the leafs blush.
Getting 18 goals scored against in 3 games isn't a choke job. Its called the oil train, when it hits, it hits hard
@@roberjohnsmith have to disagree. They played themselves out of a Cup. Some credits to the Oilers for not giving up but if Florida played even half of their potential they would have been partying by now. Huge choke job, historic
As opposed to 4. 4....
Oilers are putting up FOUR and a HALF goals for each scored against them in the last three games...
They lose this and they are NEVER living it down
@aarfran cope.
Everyone but the oilers fans are surprised ! Keep cheering and keep faith, this is the same team who's come back from all sorts of difficult situations this season. Fans have always been there !
Man, what happened to the team that conquered Vasi, Swayman, and 'Sterkin? We were on fire now suddenly we can't get out of our own way. Can't believe we are about to choke this lead, especially at home too. Damn it man, just when I thought this was finally our year too
Sorry man, you guys aren’t “about to choke this lead”. Y’all already did choke this lead, it’s no longer 3-0
@@jleif7736 eh, whatever, hopefully next season will be better. Go Panthers!
@Negative_Rust don't give up hope yet, dude 😅 I'm rooting for the Oilers, but this series isn't over yet. The Panthers can still win Game 7 lol
I want to see Edmonton do this, but I still like Florida and it would be foolish to count them out.
Just cheer your team and remember they only have to win one crucial game on a home ice advantage.
What happened was the Oilers figured out Bob - something Tampa Bay, Boston, and the Rangers couldn't do.
Favorite moment was Skinner’s final save, followed by an assist for Nurse’s empty netter. My whole family was squealing with delight over here in a tv room in Vancouver!!! ❤❤❤
thats the scariest part if your a florida fan, mcdavid no points in gm6 and draisatl still hasnt scored
Panthers look just like 2010 Bruins. All that is left is for them to have a 3-0 lead in Game 7.
Bruins are CLASSIC Cup chokers
If only they choked in 2011
@MySundin13 agreed. In ‘88 it was no question Edmonton was going to win. In ‘90? Even I thought Boston would get revenge, and they didn’t.
Flyers
Game 4 was a singularity, the oilers broke the panthers and set off a chain of events that can not be reversed
The oilers will not be denied
I don't have a horse in the race and I'm loving this!
Love when Emily Kaplan was interviewing Zach Hyman he could barely hear her. Absolutely electric atmosphere wish I could've been there. I hope they bring a regular season game to Australia. I almost travelled to Melbourne for the pre season games but I wasn't willing to do it for games that didn't count.
for the neutral fan this is incredible. if you want to show someone the magic of hockey, sit down and watch this series
@@otaviofrn_adv tell ya one thing I wouldn't have wanted to be Panthers player in that locker room. Paul Maurice must've torn strips off them.
@@XaviRonaldo0 yes, he has been one of the most energic coaches in the league since he took over Florida.
And honestly, who can blame him?
He needs to mess with the pride of this team if he wants a win on Monday.
If he needs to throw a grenade before the game, allow it.
The way things are right now, Edmonton is winning, even if game 7 is in a little over 60 hours still
I was there last night. It's hard to even describe it. It's so loud that it's almost silent. All you hear is blur.
I’ve been rooting for the Panthers this whole time, but I can’t really defend them on this. They looked slow and uninspired for the first half of the game again. They absolutely need to play desperate hockey on Monday night.
They looked like a team that has already resigned itself to defeat. Not a good look at all.
it's over, the biggest choke in history
they might still win, but I have serious doubts the panthers will outplay connor mcdavid an leon driasaitl in a best of 1 game 7 now. Mcdavid has wanted this more than anything.
@@tracyelsinger1088 agree.
Paul Maurice needs to find a way into the heads of his players for last week if they wanna salvage the damage and avoid a tragedy
Agreed. I am not an Oilers fan at all but I have to give them some credit for this comeback. They were definitely the better team tonight.
I take back everything I've said about Florida. They were up 3-0. We thought it was over. The vibes and aura have absolutely changed. Go Oilers.
It's all the hard work and resulting momentum. The Oilers are trending up, while the Panthers are trending down. It's Edmonton's year. It's Canada's year. This is a Cup year.
I can’t believe this is actually happening right now. I really thought my Oilers were dead in the water after Game 3. But here we are…and I’m so excited! Let’s go Edmonton…finish the reverse sweep Monday night!!!
Before game 4, I said to my buddy that in order for us to have any chance of winning this series we needed to win that game 8-1 to put doubt into Bobrovski and the Panthers heads and give us hope. I can't believe that it may actually happen.
Going into game 4 I knew they wouldn’t get swept, I didn’t expect the blowout or the comeback. And going into this series, I wouldn’t have thought either team could lose 4 in a row. But now I’m really trying not to get my hopes up, even though I fully believe they can do it. Game 7 could be a different story, no way the cats just sit back and play as lacklustre as they did last night
Oilers were +2000 before their first win I did hedge my bet and will win 2,800.00 if the Oilers win if lose I win 2,300.00 on the Panthers.I hedged my bet @+700 on the Oilers so a win win for me.
The Florida Panthers have played ** a lot ** of hockey over the past year & it’s starting to show in the latter stages of the finals. They looked exhausted tonight.
Conner deserves a lot of the credit for this series BUT the coach deserves a huge acknowledgement for making the adjustment after game 3.
Rangers fan here but at this point, would like to see the Oilers win a Cup also in memory of Ben Stelter and Joey Moss.
We also lost an amazing young man named Colby Cave in 2020 from our team and it would mean so much to win it for all three of them. His wife is still involved with the oilers and they are still her family. It would be so amazing if they do this it would mean so much to so many people. This organization has lost incredible people over the last few years. ❤
The rating for these SCF has been through the roof... The McDavid Effect!
this'll be the best game 7 since 09
We can only pray for that
The 2019 SC Cup Blues-Bruins went to 7 Games as well it was my reintroduction into Hockey
I think it’s more than just momentum. Oilers have just cracked the code. They know how to beat the Panthers now, and convincingly. This reminds me of the look Paul Maurice had in game 4 when the Oilers destroyed Florida. It was much more than the Oilers just having a really good game, it’s like Maurice looked horrified, almost like he knew this would happen. It wasn’t like “oh it’s just one bad game”, it was like “did we just lose the cup”.
Blocker side high.
@@NatsdadsamI That and more. They figured out how to defend them, how to break through their defense, and win the one on one battles. I'm quite impressed at them as a team.
The Oilers penalty kill has been unbelievable. I’m not even worried when they get a penalty
not the most veteran fan of hockey, but I don't remember seeing a team defend on power play the way Edmonton has been. They're swarming the puck carrier with two, sometimes three players
yeah the Oilers forecheck have been a Defense clinic
Panthers are not choking, the Oilers are just the better team. Once they figured out "blocker side high", it was over.
It took them 3 games to figure that out? Naw man Panthers are simply not trying it's sickening the Oilers not winning the Panthers are losing.
@PolarBearPredator the Oilers are the better team. Cope.
@@oilersridersbluejays "Better team" looked lost for 3 straight games. "Better team" doesn't let themselves fall 0-3 before coming back. Both teams are good but one is clearly choking a 3-0 lead and not playing even close to the same game they once were. Don't be cocky like Panthers fans that celebrated too early when they won 3 straight. There is still a game 7 to play.
Also no matter who wins Game 7, Connor McDavid HAS GOT TO BE THE CONN SYMTHE WINNER!!
Who the heck is the NHL gonna award it to from Florida? Bob? Tkachuk? Barkov?? Have you seen Games 4-6?? Please!!
McDavid is doing something that we haven’t seen since Wayne Gretzky!!
Stuart Skinner.
He didnt do much in G6.
Barkov could still win it.
@@synenwho cares about Game 6. The Conn Smythe Trophy measures the entirety of the playoffs, and especially in the Finals.
Connor McDavid has 42 points in 24 games…..did you watch Games 4 and 5?? Clearly he is a huge reason why the Oilers are still here.
@@fredleinweber2819he better have the best game of his life in game 7, because otherwise I have to respectfully disagree.
Shannon's passion is obvious. This is why we love hockey. We're seeing something amazing here this playoffs. No matter what happens next game.
Yup he doesn't like the Oilers but appreciates good hockey
If Florida scores first in Game 7, Edmonton can recover.
If *Edmonton* scores first in Game 7, it's a wrap.
It depends on whether or not the refs and league office are involved like 4 5 and 6.
If these teams are allowed to play hockey, with no interference from either, Florida should mop em up super easy.
@@winkletown8828 Awfully confident, are we not?
@@winkletown8828 I have no comment on the current series officiating but it's ironic that this was essentially the calling card of *Oilers* fans for the past five years. :-p
Hey Oilers, EUTHANIZE THOSE PANTHERS Monday Night!!! From Tampa Bay with love. Florida's ONLY STANLEY CUP CHAMPION 3X
The hockey media immediately started talking 1942 after game 3 saying the oilers were the team that could do the comeback and here it is the oilers will win on Monday the panthers just can't stop them
Game 7 is a GUARANTEE LOSS FORBFLORIDA. And for the third time in cup final for us the cup will be given away in Sunrise Florida
imagine perry gets the game 7 winner
that would be poetic I'm not gonna lie, he also had the game 5 gwg
I was thinking Nurse would be funny
That would be wild. I have a feeling it's gonna be a random oiler like perry or McLeod or something. I'm really going nuge gets it. He's a work horse. He shows no emotion. Always a gentlemen. Been there through the thick and thin. The tears of joy would be the deepest for him
Barring a Panthers own goal .. Yes Nurse's butt somehow.
Poetry.

I wonder if Edmonton fans will be sober enough to watch game 7 even? 😂
oh, they will find a way. Best shot at a cup in a generation
Feeling pretty tipsy at the moment
Bud. Have you ever partied in edmonton? It's not much different than the peg. Us prairie sharks know how to swim
Not gonna lie, there may be some alcohol consumption occurring atm.
I’m not gonna lie, I love my beer. There are A LOT of Oilers fans here in Saskatchewan. It’s going to be a party here too. We are basically a continuation of Oilers country over here.
Since the 3rd period of game 3, the Oilers have outscored the Panthers 20-5.
Or a 4-1 ratio
It’s insane
Lets not forget the Oilers have a PK of over 96% in these playoffs

I’m just glad we didn’t face the Avs in the WCF again. They hey scare me more than even Dallas and Dallas is a scary team IMO.
That game wasn't close.
Shot wise and the amount of scoring chances were pretty even. This one came down to goaltending. Two of the five goals were empty netters
@Milousan-jb8se The only reason they dominated the Third Period was desperation - Edmonton was the better team in the first two periods.
It was pretty close. One more inch and it would have been 3-2. Oilers will need to be better for Game 7. Cats won’t rollover in front of the home crowd.
It was
@@blackenedmagic888yeah no
This series will be talked about for years to come ! Amazing and gutsy comeback . Oiler fans be proud …REAL proud !
Can someone check to see if the Panthers are even alive? What the hell happened to them?
lets be honest..., Goalie Bob stole game 1, Florida won the next 5 periods and held on to win game 3, since th 2nd intermission of game 3, the Oilers have outscored the cats 21-5 ..... would you like to know more?
They came across the Oilers that made short work of the Kings, grinded through the Canucks, and stunned the Stars.
Shannon, this just proves Luongo is cursed.
I would say Maurice.
Only because nobody is pumping his tires.
Tbh if they put Luongo in net for Game 4,5,6 they probably win 1 of those games.
@@rt-rd5of You’re probably right.
Panthers face elimination for the first time and its a game 7 in the finals. Oilers have been hardened from all the elimination games they have been througj.
I'm seeing a lot of people talk about hockey that I've never seen talk about hockey. The best player in the world on a team coming back from down 0-3, Canada not having a cup for 30 years... this is going to be a very fun game 7.
Oilers are gonna send the Panthers to Quebec after Monday
NHL Rule: All teams must go to Atlanta before moving to Canada.
Nah, they'll be sent to Arizona instead.
I will say I am shocked this has gone to game 7. I guessed that it would end in game 5 or 6 from the beginning but I was wrong. I think the major change has been more on the goalie, more on Bobrosky is now not doing well. I am wondering if he got hurt in game 3 or something because ever since he was pulled he’s missed a lot of shots he was not missing in the first 3.
Game 7 no matter what is gonna be a historical game. I still stand by my earlier statements about the Oilers as I feel this is the Panthers chocking more than Oilers getting significantly better.
REVERSE SWEEEEEEEEP!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I agree Shannon, at the beginning I said I'm not rooting for either team, I just want to see a game 7. But now, it's hard to not root for the oilers after this comeback so I'm hoping they finish also!
viewership is 61% higher than last year. Connor and leon need a 10% raise...or more!
As an Oilers fan, if Edmonton wins the series, you might want to apologize to Florida. Earlier in the series you said you didn't see Edmonton winning 4 games in a row (I think it was after game 3). That might've been a jinx.
As an Avs fan, im with you
Nobody owes Edmonton an apology…. This is a historical thing the Oilers are about to achieve, and even the most die hard Oiler fans knew it was gonna be almost impossible to comeback.
@@jleif7736 Who said anything about Shannon apologizing to Edmonton? Certainly wasn't me, as I said apologize to Florida, since he "jinxed them".
Lol
It seems the Oilers have the mentality of "there's still one more game after this" going to game seven. Nobody's way too happy. In game 4, I noticed how McDavid was just sat while the others were celebrating a goal (can't remember which one). Absolutely cold and hard.
Meanwhile, Panthers are absolutely pressured - they've had 3 games to put this away now, and that empty netter from game 5 was yet another dagger to their morale.
The difference can even be seen from the coaches' behavior. Kloblauch is all peaceful and in control even when losing and he doesn't let victory go to his head either. Meanwhile, Paul Maurice is getting angrier at every game and I'm almost expecting him to get kicked out by the refs during game 7.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson is quarterbacking the top line power play for a Stanley Cup final team in the year of our lord 2024.
Honestly. Dude is a borderline healthy scratch in these playoffs
The PP with OEL has outscored the PP with Montour by 1, so that's something. What's baffling is that the PP has been ass for most of the playoffs and they never changed the forwards.
All because Montour throws pizzas across the middle to Connor Brown

As a die hard devils fan, I payed attention to the wins and losses as the playoffs went on. Was kinda burned by our season and didnt watch all but a game or two leading up the Cup final. I have watched at least a portion of all 6 games and this has been very interesting to watch. I have not been disappointed. Very curious to see what game 7 has in store as it will be history whichever way it goes down.
this series is amazing
Never been this frustrated watching a team I cheer for play. There is no effort from Florida. Looking at the bench, the players and coaches seem to have given up. The power play is god awful, even when they score they gain no momentum from it.
Devils fan here. What a series and what a game! Can’t wait to see how strong the Oilers pour it on in game 7.
It’s not even the Oilers coming back in this series that’s crazy.
It’s the degree to which they’ve come back that’s astounding
The oilers broke the panthers in game 4 and they haven’t been the same since
@@prestigewoodworksThey broke even earlier - 3rd period of the 3rd game. They figured out the Florida strategy and how to beat Bob that day, then went to the drawing board and exploited. It’s been nothing but success since that period.
I'll give the Oilers a ton of credit in getting it to 3-3 but everything that Florida did in the first 3 games of this series, they havent done in the last 3. I dont want to say they've been playing scared but giving up the 1st goal usually never phased them. Now it seems like the game is over as soon as they are down 1-0. If the give up the first on Monday it might be over.
