I hope McDavid puts up a double hat trick next game.
Can anyone tell me why the crowd in Florida still yells "night" during the anthem or are they still copying Vegas? Honest question.

This would be an awesome moment for the NHL if McDavid and company complete the historic comeback. Truly one of the single greatest post season runs EVER. A 3-0 comeback in the championship Finals while your best player and face of the league breaks and/or comes close to breaking several(previously assumed to be untouchable) Gretzky records/stats. One more win to complete the story and close out the great comeback of our time.
I'm not too happy about this, but McDavid with a Stanley cup is no disaster either. Would be exceptionally well deserved.
Would just be nice if the Panthers got out of whatever mental hole they are in now, and actually battle incredibly in game 7, regardless of how it ends.

And coming back from 0-3 down after also coming back from being a 31st place laughing stock around Thanksgiving earlier in the season. Will either be an extreme storybook cup win or one of those things where they came close but nobody remembers in a few years.

That’s not how the minds of the elite in their given fields typically operate.
Hopefully, McDavid and the Oilers avoid a lot of future potential heartache and seal this incredible comeback, because nothing is guaranteed. We thought Crosby and the Penguins would win another Cup or two from 2009-2010 through 2014-2015, but instead they didn’t win a game past the second round and made just one 1 ECF.
I’d rather the argument against McDavid officially dies less than 72 hours from now, rather than having to deal with the unusual situation of battling all the way back from 3-0, losing in 7, probably winning the Conn Smythe, and having the gremlins crawl out to say “well, he just isn’t a winner…” for potentially years to come.
Ok, this is just a ridiculous storyline so far.
Nonetheless, as it comes down to a game 7 and everyone is getting their narratives sorted, putting all sorts of value into fragments of the picture, be it a player's skill, a coach's decision, or a referee's call (or what not); let's just remember that the biggest single factor in games of hockey is always going to be coincidence.
Combine all the factors a team can control and you may mitigate chance to the point you can overcome it, but the odds of that happening when two great teams meet are indeed unfavorable. We'll get a winner, and some fans will pretend they knew all along, they called the decisive fragment, and pat themselves sore.. They'll act as if it was impossible for the loser to have won due to any number of pieces, players, and postulates. They'll act as if the winner was inevitable and indomitable, but it will be as delusional as it ever was.
I am ready for chance to release me, hurt me, or please me, but for f***'s sake hurry up and do it!

Are you giving the 2011 Canucks roses? Hell no.
You either win and you're legendary or you lose and everyone forgets about 2nd place next year.
There's no hypocrisy to it.
Ive seen a lot of winning and coming up short. Flames, blackhawks, drouin offside goal called back. Washington beating us. Getting swept by columbus, then having everyone say we were covid champs. Ive definitely dialed it way back on the ultra fandom, but ive been a lightning fan my whole life. We suck now and i knew we werent going to win anything this season, but all great things must come to an end. Some never get started. Anyway, i am a lightning fan whether you believe it or not. I got to see 3 cup wins and 2 superbowls with the bucs. I dont really expect to see my teams be good again for a long time, but thats alright.

Legendary run almost complete. As a hockey fan you just have to appreciate what we're seeing. Feel bad for Florida though, they look lost.

Have I told you I miss Logan Thompson
Thanks alot Florida..... if you completely blow this... @Fixed to Ruin will be as insufferable as I was last year 
and then @Czechboy and @Coffey will be happy and we can't be having that, well if they had better taste in teams we could . Oiler fans being miserable is the natural order of the universe.
I think there is now only one thing for it.

Complete team win in game 6 but Mcdavid was oddly quiet. I would expect he has to come out possessed in game 7. Would be bizarre if he’s quiet in a game 7 finals as well.

I know you're not and you shouldn't be. It just proved my point about it being meaningless when they're out of gas.yeah...about that.....sorry but not sorry?
People are acting like it was unlikely because games are supposedly 50/50. The problem is that 50/50 only applies when they're equally matched.
Game 7 isn't even, and anyone thinking the odds are equal is fooling themselves. We are not talking about a coin toss, we're talking about people.
I won't bother to watch... The Panthers have no one to blame but themselves when they lose. All smiles after game 3 as if that meant something. They deserve nothing.

Only feel bad for the fans , the team is playing like hot trash. Last year they had the excuses of injuries but this year losing a 3-0 lead in the SCF is beyond crazy. 1 more chance for them at home , if they lose I wouldnt even be surprised if the arena is empty next season , we talking about the biggest pro team collapse if they lose game 7.

If the Panthers lose game 7, they are really lucky that they're a small market team in a marginal sport.
I'd just like to point out that the guy currently in charge of the Oilers PK was also on Woodcroft's staff with no apparent role while the Oilers had the worst pk in the league until he was fired.
Yikes.
Yikes.

Water which is too pure has no fish
Well dang...haven't had a chance to follow the series super closely so far...
Looks like the Panthers are set to take game 7 at home after a close series.
Congrats to Oilers for taking it to a game 7! Well done and well fought. That was an admirable task given your lack of forward, defensive and goaltending depth.
It was a hell of series and all will remember how valiantly you pursued your dreams
