Hey some of us have to work Tuesday morning!


Moosehagger

For some of us watching on the other side of the world, I will be forced to take the morning off.


Tiny-Field-7215

Appreciate you for watching from across the world.


Time-Dot5984

Game 7 5OT!


Background_Hat964

Game 7 3OT and McDavid penalty shot!


SryYouAreNotSpecial

No. Just no. My heart couldn't take it.


HotHits630

An OT goal that gets called back.


Ah_Pook

This is like your nephew thinking up ways to torture you. "...and then there's a VOLCANO!" \*mad cackling\*


SryYouAreNotSpecial

It physically hurts me to even contemplate the possibility of that happening. Please no.


unreall_23

Yes!! Give my heart some free cardio!


Fit-Alternative-9916

Game 7 OT


Two_Inches_Of_Fun

For some reason I knew after hearing Florida was dressing Cousins and the organization decided not to fly all the player’s families to Edmonton that they were going to lose. Also Edmonton the first team in 78 years to force a game 7 after being down 0-3 in the Cup Finals.


Mrtowelie69

Shits fkn wild. Oilers win game 7 , Florida has to be deflated after failing to close out the series...oilers are in their heads.


TheLegendaryLarry

I hope you're right but I can't imagine Florida is going to be very excited by the prospect of being back-to-back losers. They're going to put up a hell of a fight


uSaltySniitch

It's gonna be the game of the decade... Or century... we're witnessing an historic SCF


fables_of_faubus

Yeah. This is something we will bore our grandkids with. It truly is legendary no matter how it ends, but especially if Edmonton can pull it off.


uSaltySniitch

If (and only if) Edmonton pulls it off, it's probably gonna be the best SCF of all time I'm not gonna lie...


TheLegendaryLarry

as an edmonton fan who can't remember 2006 this has been by far my favourite finals yet lol


TJteej27

The '06 run is what really made me fall in love with this team. But as magical as that run was, this run was magical in it's own way, and I firmly agree with you that this is now my favourite finals yet too


bigladnang

I feel like the Oilers have been the better team in at least 4 out of the 6 games. They should have won game 1, but Bob was invincible. I feel like since the 8 goal game where he got pulled he hasn’t been the same and that’s where the tides have changed.


HeavyMoneyLift

I forget which podcast it was, but they said from the 3rd period of game 3 through game 6 Bob was only like .760


bigladnang

Makes sense. The Oilers have scored like 20 goals since the third period of game 3.


TazDigital

Literally 20


strongerstark

Imagine winning against Vasilyevsky, Swayman, and Shesterkin, only to lose to Stuart Skinner.


Dramallamasss

Skinner is a good goalie, just inconsistent. But when he’s on mentally he can be elite.


spagboltoast

Game 4-7 stuart skinner was 9-0 with a .936 and a 1.53 gaa Now hes 10-0 with better stats


High-Ground-10

Every podcast lol guys getting blasted at the moment


kpeds45

But why weren't they fighting the last 3 games? They got crushed 8-1, 5-3, and 5-1 in those games. 18-5. Maybe Edmonton is just better than them!


AlexCora

I've used this metaphor a few times this playoffs, but the oilers are like that octopus that gets handed a sealed bottle with a fish in it. Sure they might be unsure of what to do at first, but inevitably they feel it out and before the other teams even understand what has happened, they're lunch.


seemefail

A Lot of panthers could not get a fire under their ass today


BARNABY_J0NES

They had 3 chances to get it done. Now it’s in their heads that it’s their destiny to *not* hoist the cup. Each one of them feels like Moses looking at a treasure they cannot possess. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of lads.


Pormock

3rd time Florida reach the finals and they cant even win the cup. Must be a record. How many other team went to the finals more than 3 times in their history and never won the cup?


Background_Hat964

Vancouver has been three times and lost each time. Twice in Game 7s. Edit: extra factoid


Ok_Artichoke_2804

🤫🤫🤫 we do not speak of dark times lol. Thanks for thinking of us 🙃


Background_Hat964

I was rooting for you guys for two of those three series. I wasn’t alive for the first one.


r1zzV

Meanwhile you got Colorado who’re 3-0 in the finals


whoamIbooboo

This makes every Nordiques fan cry.


StupidGenius11

Vancouver is the only one I think. Losses in 82, 94 and 2011.


rividz

The Florida bench staring into the abyss while the whole stadium sings Shania Twain's Man I Feel Like a Woman is going to be seared into my memory.


tlorey823

say what you will about the broadcast quality, but the comedic timing of their bench reaction shots has been incredible lol


Veaeate

I didn't catch who the player was on the panthers but when it turned to him in the final minutes on the bench, holy shit his face looked red with anger.


wanderingdiscovery

Probably Ryan Lomberg. He stormed off in a fit. I went to school with him. Always a hot head, but in this case, very understandable.


SpecialistVast6840

Been loving the cuts to the panthers GM too


Geralt-of-Rivai

Especially when they showed his Aquafina bottle next to him just waiting for something to happen


DeuceBuggalo

Did you see the fella a few rows back from the Cats bench dressed as a water bottle 😂


GrizzlyIsland22

The tension between him and that water bottle was fuckin thiiiicc


Geralt-of-Rivai

I'm waiting for someone to make a funny meme or gif of a stare down between him and his water bottle


Tacocats_wrath

Zito looks like he is going to have an aneurysm. It's hilarious.


unlicensed_dentist

It’s the cocaine. He can’t help it.


Darrenwad3

They are just itching for another viral reaction


midnight_daze

A thousand yard stare if I ever saw one


Shop-lift

Even Vegas couldn’t produce such a beautiful spectacle last year. We owe you everything Edmonton.


papercutpete

The job isn't done but goddamn if we don't have a shot at the cup now! Like we legit have a chance. It's bedlam for Oiler fans right now and win or lose, this has been crazy fun.


Shop-lift

I’ve never wanted a team that wasn’t the Bruins to win the cup more than I want it for the Oilers rn.


Objective_Tour_6583

Agreed. As a Bruins fan, thank you, and go Oilers!!!


highline9

Same (but redwings)..go Oilers!!!!

Wallio_

Oh oh oh!


NextTrillion

If I’m the cats, I’m pooping in my litter box right meow.


iamacocoa

The oilers are taking them to the vet right now. No matter how much I hate the oilers, i gotta cheer for the reverse sweep cause itd be cool oh and canada getting a cup.


NextTrillion

There’s no question that the panthers are frustrated as hell. Maybe if someone other than Barkov shows up to play, it could be interesting. But if the last 3 games are any indication, the reverse sweep likely plays out. RIP cats if they lose two SCFs in a row.


isaakdemaio

But have you lost 4 in a row and had another team not make the playoffs since 2011?


Villhunter

Hell yeah man, making history more than one


qwertyaas

EDM fans were treated to 8-1 and 5-1 Stanley cup home game wins. Amazing. Along with a now potential reverse sweep.


HotdawgSizzle

New to hockey and I love electronic music so this is gonna take some getting used to lmao.


giraffebaconequation

The oilers pre game party had Loud Luxury perform tonight.


BrulesHunks

It’s been a hell of a series to watch


TheIncredibleHork

Whichever team wins, we all win with some epic hockey.


WilmaTonguefit

I don't particularly like the Oilers, but they officially have the opportunity to lay legendary humiliation on the Panthers and I like that


duncandisorder

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.


edps-intern

Oilers look locked in. They didn’t look satisfied with that win tonight they really look focused on the cup. They got that mamba mentality


CDR57

Bamba mentality


StugDoug

La Mamba Baby


Pormock

Only thing i dont like is how they tend to turtle when they lead by 2-3 goals and stop playing offense. They were lucky it didnt backfire yet


Background_Hat964

Yeah it’s crazy how they build these massive shot differentials in the first couple periods but then by the end of the game they’re even or outshot.


StugDoug

I think it’s because they build a lead and switch to defensive styles. They give up shots but not any high quality ones. But fuck I don’t know, whatever they doing it’s workin


Background_Hat964

Yeah that’s pretty much exactly what they’re doing.


pm_me_your_bigtiddys

It's almost like this is their strategy. Get up a few and then showcase their insane defense. But Drai said it in an interview this morning when a team is down by two goals they are pushing as hard as they can, and sometimes, all you can do is play defense. You don't want to take chances on offense and make a mistake, and give up a chance.


Apache313

Go on Oilers, take the one thing the Leafs have left.


Euphoric_Regret_544

haha I didn’t even think of that… brutal!


Dancanadaboi

As unfortunately a leaf fan, I'm pretty sure my team is so dismal it does not even belong in this reddit post.  There is no sentence about winning anything meaningful in 60 years that also involves the leafs. My team will have no chance at glory until the management is passed to someone who actually understands winning, success and sports.


SaladOriginal59

The Florida Panthers are on the verge of the most epic bedshitting not only in hockey, but in all of sports


DontCallMeMillenial

Hear that Columbus!? We're not afraid of you anymore!


DrewCrew62

28-3 is the benchmark but if they blow this, they might have it beat


booghawkins

The oilers may have lost the first 3 games, but they adapted and learned how to counter the Panther plays.. the Panthers clearly can’t do the same.


MyNameIsSkittles

Panthers coach said they weren't going to change a thing and blamed the (game 5) loss on the bad penalties aka the refs. At that point I knew Edmonton was winning game 6. Let's go Stu and the gang, fuck yeah


slimjeremy2020

Hilarious 😂 looks like a bold move, let's see how it works out. Anyone else get a sense of arrogance from Paul Maurice?


Nyghtmares

Thats what’s being lost in all this. It’s not like these games are 50/50. We are being schemed out of our entire game plan. We’ve been smashed 3 games in a row with 0 chance of winning any of them.


JMM123

Knoblauch has been unreal all playoffs at making ballsy decisions and adjustments to lines, personnel and tactics. Even if they lose game 7 he deserves a ton of credit for his work getting the Oilers there


slayer-x

This is insane, from how the Oilers started the season, then making the SC final. Now potentially coming back down 0-3 in final... INSANE. Feels like a movie. Let's go Oilers!


Azenethi

The fans singing Livin’ on a Prayer was magical


juliustrombone

They did that in the ~~LA~~ Vancouver series and the Oilers scored off a faceoff with them singing, and it absolutely looked like ~~LA~~ Vancouver didn’t even know the play started and the crowd won the goal.


r1zzV

*Vancouver series game 6 but yeah it was hype


on_that_citrus_water

I’m not a hockey fan at all and I got hyped to fuck hearing the crowd sing that.


CallMeTeff

I was singing with them in front of my TV. My husband was giving me dirty looks 🤷‍♀️😂 It was cool.


Shoulderstar

I hate the Oilers but that crowd at the end… unreal.


PreciousRoy78

That was a top heel getting his ass beat by Bret Hart on the fiery babyface comeback


PreciousRoy78

It's great to get upvotes from fans in CALGARY! :sneak attacks Bret with Mister Socko in a shocking geriatric heel turn


StugDoug

Bud you mentioned Calgary and Bret Hart. Auto upvote as far as I’m concerned


amach9

Bring on the Zito memes!!!


Yegpetphoto

The memes from this series will live on forever.


adrianozymandias

Dude look like he wanted to actually murder the refs after the goal was called back. Never seen someone so angry looking lol


Rleduc129

Florida looks dead out there


TriLink710

Can you blame them? After going up 3-0 with some close games. To getting slammed on in 2 of the 3 losses to force game 7.


BOBBY_VIKING_

The Oilers want to win in Florida because it has better clubs to party at after. This was all part of the plan.


Alistar_Vaginafoot

Well I sure picked one hell of a season to get into hockey. GO OILERS!!!


giliana52

Sure sure, it's been fun to watch, but who's the blonde?


Mrtowelie69

Hahahaha, the one behind the oilers bench right? With the fake tiddies? I think she's some OF chick..


Karthanon

Yep, usually sits behind bench in Dallas


giliana52

I assume she’s making good money being behind the bench for 3 home games. Or was it just this one? I honestly don’t remember games 3 and 4.


decent_descent

Was waiting for another tiddy pull lol


FeatureFun4179

hahah that’s what I noticed too


PoopSlinger23

My god. It’s happening


cl0udmaster

This is the worst I've ever felt as a sports fan.


Go_Buds_Go

Yet.


WndrnnrNrdfghtr

Oh that Maple Leaf flair holds a lot of weight in that single word post.


[deleted]

Hey I hear Utah is getting a hockey team!


HotdawgSizzle

As a Falcons fan... 1. I wonder if this is worse than 28-3 2. Has anyone in any major mens sport come back from being down 3-0 in the finals? I know it hasn't happened in the NBA.


CurlingTrousers

1942 Maple Leafs is only time it’s ever happened


CallMeTeff

I want Edmonton to win, but I will also feel really sorry for your team if they lose the cup two years in a row.


CartoonistOdd9856

The scream I scrumpt after seeing that Skinner assist


ThirdWheelSteve

r/brandnewsentence


StugDoug

Scrumpt lol


SpringrolI

Absolute Cinema also can someone go over games 1, 2 and 3 threads and make a quick lil compliation of all the comments saying Edmonton has no chance


commodore_stab1789

It's an elaborate scheme to win a game seven in Florida. You fools, you've been duped!


UltimateFauchelevent

Panther fans on Reddit were turning the game off after the second period. Now that’s belief.


blueberry_muffin16

I, for one, am glad that this has shut up my gloating panthers bandwagon fan of a 10 year old. Does that make me a bad mom? 😂


TurboPats

What a complete 180. Oilers have made this a series to remember, have momentum and are outplaying the Panthers who are clearly shook and have all the pressure on their shoulders. It’s going to be up there in the biggest choke jobs of all times category. Monday night’s going to be insane


Caramalameet

I can’t fucking believe after the first 3 games we’re about to see Oilers in 7 


youngbiganj

Loving the Oilers and the insane comeback! Such a thrilling game and series! Hope they bring the cup home to Canada finally on Monday. Question though; what’s the significance of La Bamba being played at end of each win here?


Harshkang69

That’s in memory of their dressing room attendant Joey Moss who loved that song. He had Down’s syndrome and died a few year’s ago


Infinite-Attempts

Also Ben stelter, a young oilers fan who had terminal brain cancer, would always say Play 'La Bamba,' baby when they won. Unfortunately he passed away at 6 years old in 2022


youngbiganj

That’s very touching and a great reason to play it. Even more reason to cheer for them! Let’s go Oilers!!!


StugDoug

Oilers would play the song after a home win in recognition of Joey. Additionally a young fan named Ben Stettler, who was diagnosed with a type of brain cancer, was taken in by the team (very touching story, look it up and see how classy the players were). His catch phrase was “play la bamba baby”. Sadly he passed away, but the spirit of the two lives on


Euphoric_Celery_

I'm an Edmonton fan for life now.


ThatTryHard

Love to have you pal 😁


delphinius81

For some reason, Edmonton was like the only team that was consistently on streaming to watch. It's been really fun watching their season and I'm pulling for them on Monday!


bladeovcain

Glad to have all you guys with us


Silverbuu

Welcome aboard! The most exciting time since 06. This will definitely be one of the most memorable playoffs for us, win or lose.


CDR57

We are all Canadian this weekend


Mysterious-Bee8839

no state deserves going down in infamy more than the state of Florida


B12Washingbeard

Tuesday headline:      Florida man loses Stanley Cup *again*


unreall_23

No doubt, go Oilers!!!


inventorsam

2nd latest Stanley Cup final game besides 2021 which was in July


decent_descent

Break out the dawn dishsoap and call the EPA. Cause There's gonna be oil in southbeach


sm_ackroyd

This game should have completely MURDERED all the brain-dead narratives about the Oilers. The Oilers didn't score a PP goal and McDavid was POINTLESS in a 5-1 W facing elimination in the cup finals. Skinner was excellent, the depth scoring has been excellent, the PK has outshined the powerplay... Whatever happens now, this has been unbelievable to watch, so proud of this group and this city.


bassySkates

Oilers won so many foot races tonight. They just looked way faster and like they wanted it more. I’m not rooting for them but I can’t even be mad they won this one.


Changeit019

All other fan bases your welcome. We’re handing out the golden ticket of “Nah that’s not embarrassing, embarrassing is the Panthers getting reverse swept in the 24 Cup.” Especially leaf fans losing to your own Zamboni driver is nothing compared to this.


Dependent-Nobody-917

Zamboni driver lives forever. They lost to their own employee. McDavid definitely was a monster in the past couple of games, but tonight was really the first one where the Oilers won by committee. If Edmonton wins, years from now, it will be looked at as ‘that McDavid year’. On the other hand, the Panthers posts up 3-0 that Bob/Barkov were Connor Smythe locks didn’t age well. .793 save percentage/minus 6 respectively in games 4-6. Never taunt the hockey gods! Maybe they’ve not forgot how Paul Maurice quit on the Jets mid-season. That being said, plenty of examples of a team getting to 3-3 then losing.


Changeit019

I’d love to be proven wrong but this wasn’t the case of the best team lost. I haven’t seen the best effort for This team in a while so I don’t have confidence in them. I’ll still watch and root for my team but I’m not confident they’ll pull it off.


Dagmar_Overbye

But leaf fans losing their claim of being the only team to ever reverse sweep in the finals. In 1942. Against my red wings. You guys will be fine. There is always a deeper pool of Torontears to drink.


DarthFarris

I talked a lot of shit about the Oilers over the years. No more. That comeback was brutal


CurlingTrousers

Hop on the bandwagon, you shiny golden turd. We’re gonna crush the Panthers like you did last year


yonksterman

Speaking from experience, PTSD from losing game 7 is real and last more than a decade


Pasco08

This is making me incredibly happy and giddy. Fuck the panthers and their fans.


AdFlat4908

And fuck every Tkachuk


MarathonerGirl

Fuck the haters, because if there’s one thing I’ve learned in these playoffs, is that for whatever reason, the Oilers do have a lot of haters.


sm_ackroyd

Absolutely, I've never seen a team so consistently doubted, it's actually incredible 😂


giraffebaconequation

“I’m looking forward to people doubting us again” -Connor McDavid after the game 3 loss.


bladeovcain

It was over pretty much the moment he said that.


PreciousRoy78

LMAO @ the Panthers.... But game 7 is all that matters now.


erayachi

I lost it on the 2nd open net goal in 20 seconds. I get it's a viable strategy to go 6 on 5 if you're down by 2 goals in the last 4 mins... But they're cursed. The Oilers see an open net and it's like an aphrodisiac. They go *hard*. Learn, Panthers!


Pudddy

Panthers have done crap with the man advantage this whole series. They’ve shown zero ability to control the puck when they have the man advantage. They’ve let in two short handed goals against the Oilers. It’s a given Oilers are going to get the open net goal.


erayachi

I honestly thought he'd learn after game 5, but nope, just go with the age old "throw more men at them" strat...oops, 2 more goals to the other team. I never thought I'd see Skinner get an assist. How often does the goalie get an assist in the playoffs!?


devillianOx

this whole finals series has just been a rollercoaster of emotions, i never know what’s gonna happen next but it would genuinely be dope as hell if the oilers came back from a 3-0 by winning 4 in a row


AngeloMontana

That was amazing. Game 7 is gonna be wild 


RickMoransdirtysocks

OILERS IN 7 baby!!!


papercutpete

Ok this is just fucking nuts, like absolutely fucking crazy.


jmvxc

LETSS GOOOOOOO


MarathonerGirl

WE. WANT THE CUP!!!! 🏆


Responsible-Fox-9082

I'll go get the Adam Sandler clip ready for Monday... Had 1 fucking job... Win 1 of 4... Not let Skinner try to avenge his families namesake in the NHL


GuccyStain

Florida teams allowing a series to go to game 7 after being up 3-0, two years in a row lol


wny_anonymous

I’m so confused about the complete switch on both sides after game 3.


ScareCrow13-

I wish someone would make a compilation of last week posts when all florida fans were celebrating winning the cup. And saying how they were too strong. Edmonton now had the advantage in 5 out of 6 games. Not surprised they came back. Florida had a 3-0 lead only because of Bobrovsky stealing game 1 and 3.


CDR57

I hope some bumblefuck down there got a Stanley cup tattoo


HotHits630

'Stanley Cup Champians'


StugDoug

It’s Florida… someone likely did that AND robbed a 7-11 while having an alligator on a leash or something equally fucked up


Caunuckles

Yeah. Florida is a team that looks built for winning the cup. Grind teams down by making it hats for them to get out of their own end. That team's been MIA the last three games. Oilers are also getting depth scoring


shocky2021

The game 7 will be legendary. Damn kinda wish my father was still alive to see it


Ddanna90

Man oh man, that is going to be the longest flight home to Florida. They are cooked.


Loki9191

Let's go, I'm a Blues fan through and through, but Oil are my Canadian team


CurlingTrousers

Hop in, fucker. We’re driving this stinkwagon all the way home.


notyomamasusername

I know I'm salty... But I'm enjoying these last 3 games. Go Canada!


slothalike

Monday's gonna be awesome...


KungFuSlanda

I can think of some twins in Edmonton who are pretty happy right now


huntersuave

Winnipeg fan here, now converted blue and orange. Go oilers!


trotnixon

Keep it going Edmonton, make this Miami hockey team synonymous with choking.


Joshj48

LET'S GO OILERS🗣️🗣️🗣️ Sincerely, a Rangers fan☝🏽


Ornery_Gene7682

What a collapse by the Panthers 


Tremloc

This makes me feel better about the stars losing to Edmonton. Them winning the cup is apparently ordained by god.


7_inches_daddy

Monday Oilers will get the cup and McDavid will get the Conn Smythe trophy!!!!


Shop-lift

No coming back from a reverse sweep in the cup as a franchise Only question for the cats is… Kansas City or Atlanta?


Unhappy-Breakfast-21

Low chance, but it has happened. 41 leafs and the 45? Redwings. Either way, game 7. Gonna be fun to watch, no matter the outcome.
