Hell baby
On one hand I couldn’t think of a roster (note- NOT fanbase) who deserves the pain of this potential humiliation more, on the other hand I placed a +600 bet at the deadline the panthers would win the cup

I, along with many others, had a lot of laughs at the Oilers expense when it was 3-0. I'll take my lumps. Still hope Florida pulls it out tonight, but what a comeback. Nothing like a Game 7. Can't wait for tonight.

Enjoy it, Oiler and Panther fans. Moments like these don't come along often.

Oh, and win or lose, McDavid is getting the Conn Smythe. The engraver can have the night off. His work is already done.

As a fan of another Canadian team (yep, without *any* love for Edmonton this year, any year), I am oddly moved by the determination of this Oilers squad. Who wouldn't be? Their underdog goalie takes energy from their superstar centre. Knoblauch working his magic on the penalty kill - and their amazing success at popping shorties on said kill. Some of their guys contributing through obvious injury.

I have to eat my crow here, I didn't think they would get this far, and so this team deserves some respect.

Tip of the hat, Oilers. May the best team win.

Lots of all-time offensive records within reach in tonight's game. A few are a little bit off, but with how much Oilers have been running up the score lately, still worth pointing out because you never know:

Most points all time single playoff run: Gretzky 47, Lemieux 44. McDavid has 42. Needs 3 to pass Lemieux, 6 to pass Gretzky

Most points all time in a finals: Gretzky 13 - McDavid has 11. Needs 2 to tie, 3 to pass. This would be a spectacular record to break.

Most goals all time single playoff run: record is 19, Hyman has 16. Hat trick to tie, 4 to pass. (15 was the previous current era record, tied by Crosby and Ovechkin)

Most points all time defenseman: Coffey 37, Leetch 34. Bouchard has 32. 3 to pass Leetch, 6 to take sole #1 spot. He's already #3 all time.

Records that have already fallen:

Most assists in a playoff run - McDavid 34, Gretzky 31

Most assists in a playoff run by defenseman - Bouchard 26, Coffey 25

Other milestones achieved:

McDavid back to back 4 point games in final - nobody has ever done that

McDavid with 42 points - 3rd player in history (after Gretzky and Lemieux) to top 40

I'm hoping for a lot of goals and a lot of broken records tonight.

Oilers are going to decimate Panthers tonight. At least 7-2. McDavid with 4 points minimum.

Reverse sweep complete tonight.
You were the lone crazy dude who called a reverse sweep when Florida was up 3-0. And here we are, one game away from the boldest, wildest, and potentially greatest prediction I've seen. If Edmonton pulls this off, a lot of people will be knocking on your door asking for investment tips.

I'm guessing not too many people from Edmonton were expecting people in Quebec to be on the bandwagon.

We have no reason NOT to root for Edmonton. There's no direct Montreal/Edmonton rivalry, they were the clear underdog, and the series has turned into this epic come-from-behind story that movies are made of. Everyone I know is on the bandwagon because an Oilers win would be a great climactic ending.
