It's still pretty bad, they are the first team to end up having to play in a game 7 after a 3-0 lead since 1945. Next milestone of choke is to lose it all (1942).

Oilers are about to do the impossible. But let's be honest...a team leading 3-0 has to win. Their goalie has to steal at least 1 game. Or you can and just need to win 1 game.
Oilers should be applauded. But it will mostly be known as the year that the Panthers blew it.

Oilers go from Gretzky+Messier to McDavid+Draisaitl. Unbelievable.

One game takes all and one side has McDavid. I know which side I'm taking. Lol
Gotta give it to Knoblach, too. In each series the Oilers looked like shit in the first 3 games, but then he made actual adjustments. He didn't just move players around, but changed the forechecking or defensive strategy. Meanwhile, his opponents didn't change anything. They were in, "we just have to play our game and keep with it" mindset.
He's a good coach. He's managed the Oilers defenciencies really well, while getting them to play to their strengths (speed & net drive).

Someone researched game sevens in the finals:
www.si.com
The home team used to pretty much own these games, winning 12 of the first 14 (the Habs on the road in Chicago in 1971 was one of the 2 exceptions).
The road team though has won the last three game sevens in the finals (Pit 2009, Bos 2011 and Stl in 2019) .
Game seven in the finals, love it.
Every Seven-Game Stanley Cup Final Series in History
Since adopting the seven-game format in 1939, the Stanley Cup Final has gone to a Game 7 just 17 times.

I am not an Edmonton fan, but since that run in 2006 I have really loved their crowd. They sing the anthem. I hate Bon Jovi but it's kinda fun hearing them sing Livin on a Prayer.
the valiant effort
settle down, bud

Start game planning for shit ice Edmonton.
This is fascinating to see for real. Historic.
Not gonna lie I'm going to be sad if Edmonton doesn't pull it off on Monday.

LOL if you think these games were uncontested. Edmonton has contested 5 of the 6 games.
Montreal vs Tampa that was uncontested.

It isn't over but the Panthers have to be down emotionally and it's hard to see the Oilers letting off the gas.

His Dzone game is light years better than it once was full credit to the coaching staff.
Florida are going to be TIGHT Edmonton have to step on their throats early and often.

He mostly redeemed himself after the coach trusted him back in net. I saw it as a dumb move at the time but i was wrong.Same with Skinner.
One game, winner take all. If Edm was at home, it's over. I give florida a slight chance with a home crowd and another chance (again) to reset. But they look f***ing cooked, terrified, shocked.

Who ever made the call to challenge the Florida (off side) goal.
