Win or lose I'm proud of the team. No negative feelings will be associated towards anyone in this group... it's been a hell of a ride from last place in the league to G7 of SC Finals.
That being said, just f***ing win!

Wanted to try it with a different tune.
I have to agree. It was a must win game 5 for the Panthers. There are hundreds of reasons to back that up. I'm pretty sure the Panthers went all out in game 5 but they were truly out of gas. Their entire team has gone through too much wear and tear to maintain their physical forecheck.
Pronger was the best player in the world in 2006. That wasn't Cinderella. Oilers had one of the greatest D man of all time. Peca is always clutch in the playoffs. Roloson was the best goalie they've had in over a decade. Pisani went beast mode while smyth going suicidal every shift. That team should have won it if it wasn't for MAB.

Crazy to think if we made it this deep the last couple years we could have seen multiple 40 point playoff performances for McDavid, possibly even Draisaitl, assuming they’re healthy for most of it.
Really hope we get another contract out of these guys and some more deep runs for the next few years

Anyone going to the game? Bruins fan here, rooting for your team in the finals, I've always wanted to be in the building when the cup was awarded. So my daughter and I bought tickets when Edmonton took a 2-0 lead Friday night. I'd love to met up with some Oilers fans pregame.
I dont understand the people trying to compare the ridicule and pain of the Panthers losing (probably the biggest comeback in sports) and the Oilers losing coming back from 0-3. The Oilers are still playing with house money and I think Oiler fans would still be incredibly proud that we made a series out of it. To me it just sounds like a bunch of uneducated leaf fans who know nothing but pain.

The fact that the Oilers took the almighty Panthers to 7 is already pretty tough for some of them to deal with. You'd think the Panthers/Bruins/Lightning were the 80s Oilers the way some Leafs fans cope about their division.
Not that I have seen. Oilers fan dislikes ALL other teams and their fans.
Can't help it if others jump on our bandwagon.
Maybe I'm old.

I agree. The Oilers are playing a game that psychologically they can't lose. If they lose, their effort will be compared favorably to Flyers in '87 where everyone thought they were done and they forced a 7th game.
If Edmonton scores first the tension in the building will be palatable. Maurice will start screaming at everyone. The Panthers forwards who haven't produced much will continue to press.
Can't wait for the puck to drop tomorrow night.

Panthers have resorted to Cousins, and now possibly the back-up jinx.
Hopefully it's just mind games like Holloway skating with the scratches...but something tells me that Maurice isn't above benching Bobrovsky given what's at stake.

The entire sports world will be watching tomorrow. I lurk too much on instagram, in the comments section, and these are the quotes that are being spammed, repeated and most liked (on major sports pages that usually don't post hockey, ie. espn, sportscenter, bleachereport etc):
1) Oilers are America's team
2) I don't watch hockey, but I'll be watching game 7 of the NHL finals
3) I just want to see a team give up a 3-0 series lead
4) If Florida loses, it'll go down as the 2nd greatest collapse in sports history, next to 28-3 Falcons (NFL)
5) NHL Playoffs > NBA Playoffs
6) McDavid is having a 2016 Lebron run
7) McDavid is the Ohtani of hockey
8) Edmonton games and their fans are so lit!
9) We will either see the greatest collpase in NHL history, or the greatest let down in league history. Either way, memes will be made
Game 1 was the most watched NHL game in the last decade with over 7.1 million viewers. Tomorrow's game is projected to crush that number and possibly become the most watched game since game 7, 2009 Penguins, when Crosby won his first cup. This is literally out of a story book in the fantasy section. Surreal we are at the epicenter of it
You all have been here, on HF, for years, decades. Loyal, passionate and invested in the Edmonton Oilers. Orange and Blue running through your veins.
From the mediocre 90s, to the SCF game 7 loss in '06, through the decade of darkness, and through several years of ridicule and disappointment at the beginning of the McDavid era.
Now here we are, in game 7 of the finals, on the horizon on possibly writing history, in a series that will echo in eternity. For everyone in this forum and in this city, there is no fanbase that has earned this story more than this one here.
For HF, for the city, for the country and for the history books, let's claim what is rightfully ours, The Stanley Cup

No need. We have three straight wins with what we’re doing and I don’t see Florida changing dramatically changing anything
