Reviewing Panthers vs Oilers Game Six 

For what it’s worth, this series has paved the way for hockey gaining a lot more fans. Many people who have never watched a game are tuning in because they want to see the impossible, or see what they thought was impossible in the talent on the ice. We will look back at this 10 years from now very fondly.

Either its the biggest choke in history or the biggest let down in history. Either way, we're memeing on monday.

It's happening again. I have discounted and doubted Edmonton in literally every matchup yet they come out and play like a real, championship team

Potentially the 28-3 of hockey.

ESPN has been talking more hockey than ever. You see comments on every hockey related video from people who never watched but are zoned in for game 7. Hockey is truly the greatest playoff sport.

So many people made fun of Coach Knoblauch when he said they could beat the panthers, and look at them now.

Imagine telling someone in November there’s a strong chance in late June that the Oilers win the Stanley Cup without Draisaitl scoring a goal

If you're a neutral hockey fan, this series has been, and will be, one of the best and most entertaining finals witnessed in decades.

Regardless of who wins game 7, we are all winners. WHAT A SERIES!

As a panther fan for the last 10ish years these last few weeks have brought me to the edge of cardiac arrest which is worrying as a teenager

This has been the best final in my lifetime. Purely from an objective standpoint, and removing the fact that I'm a diehard Avs fan, I think this has been better than that series in 2022. Even though nothing will beat the sweet taste of victory of watching your team win the cup. From an entertainment perspective, this is just oozing spectacle.

please go live for game 7 Shannon, you could go live on Twitch and you wouldn't put your channel at jeopardy for copyright strikes - or you could mute your TV and stay on youtube but we would all follow you to twitch just for the one livestream.

At this point, I'd be shocked if Florida wins. They don't even look like they belong on the ice against the Oilers. Crazy series.

What's scary for Florida is that McDavid didn't have a big night, and he rarely has two off-games in a row. He could carry the team offensively on Monday and complete the comeback.

Not counting seeing my Red Wings win in 2002 and 2008, this might go down as the best Stanley Cup Final I've ever seen after thinking it was one of the most boring after Game 3. I can hardly believe it and I'm not a fan of either team. Words don't describe my hype for Monday night.

Red Wings fan here. I genuinely feel bad for Panthers fans here, but man Edmonton and their fans have really showed up these playoffs as well. I've been impressed every time the games are in Edmonton, good to see the passion for their team. If the Cats win, awesome, I hope they get their first cup! If not, Edmonton you really earned it!

I have never seen THG this animated. Very entertaining recap.

We’ve got ourselves a classic series on our hands. No matter what the result will be, game 7 is a must watch for all of us.

Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final! What more can a hockey fan ask for? Whatever happens on Monday night, 2 things are certain. The Stanley Cup will be awarded and history will be made. Either the 5th reverse sweep in NHL history and only the 2nd in the history of the Stanley Cup Final or a team wins their first Stanley Cup averting the dreaded reverse sweep. We may even see the Conn Smythe awarded to a player from the losing team for only the 6th time ever. Oh, and if the reverse sweep happens it'll be the first Stanley Cup win by a Canadian team in 31 years. This is gonna be a game for the ages. Is it too much to ask for overtime?

Win it for Ben. For Joey. For Dwayne Roloson's knee. For Ryan Smyth. For the lost decade. For the North. Just win it. EDIT: Thank you all for adding to the list. Keep em coming

Might be the greatest series I've ever watched since I started watching hockey in 2009

Hard for me to believe Panthers were out shot 11-2 at one point. But what a series

Can confirm that if you didn't get out of the arena a couple minutes early, you weren't getting a seat at any bar, restaurant or pub anywhere in a 20 kilometre radius

The Oilers PK has been amazing

Since this is the longest distance between teams in the SCF, and the cup has been in the building since game 4, this has to also be the most distance the cup has traveled in a series

I am so happy we got seven. I would love a Canadian team to finally get one. If Florida wins, they absolutely did what it took to get here, so I won't feel bad. And as soon as that game is over, it means the season is officially over, new season is under way, and the Flyers are going to be UNDEFEATED for months as they can't lose a game until September.

For those living in a other city, I can tell you right now, this entire city is buzzing. Laugh all you want, like fun all you want, but this is the greatest thing to happen to Edmonton in forever.

Imagine. Florida being on the wrong end of a historic collapse after taking out those 65 win Bruins last year…

Zito had his poker face on for this game after the Game 5 meltdown

pain panthers pulling off a choke job that would make the leafs blush.

This has been a wild ride. Incredible series. This is the year I decided to watch every Oilers game in the playoffs, and I am loving it. This is going to be an incredible game 7. I can't wait! And Janmark has been impressing me so much. They said this was his 90th playoff game. I hadn't realised he'd been in so many playoff games.

That game wasn't close.

Oilers have stymied the Panthers forecheck that has crushed Bruins and Rangers. The forecheck has been the Panthers edge. W/o that I'm not sure what they do.

I think the Panthers are gassed right now, unless of course they are going to pull off an UNO reverse on the NHL.

This is absolutely INSANE and I’m loving it!! Let’s go Oilers!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

this'll be the best game 7 since 09

The thing with this series is even though they were down 0-3, Edmonton was the better team overall to that point, goaltending made that 0-3. Skinner started making saves and the Oilers started winning

LETS GO OILERS!!!!!! This is coming from a Calgarian, who is a Jets fan. Can’t wait to watch game 7!!!!!! COME ON EDMONTON PLEASE FINISH THE JOB!!!!!!!!

Everyone but the oilers fans are surprised ! Keep cheering and keep faith, this is the same team who's come back from all sorts of difficult situations this season. Fans have always been there !

This series is done. Florida is COMPLETELY out of gas. Bob is going to have to steal game 7 for them to win, but the Oilers have completely solved him the last 3 games.

Panthers look just like 2010 Bruins. All that is left is for them to have a 3-0 lead in Game 7.

I started watching hockey because a friend of mine from another country used to play the game. My country doesn't have a hockey tradition, but I knew the game already, but didn't know any of its history or rules. Went through days and days watching and reading, even bought a copy of NHL 20 so I could play it. Picked the Panthers as a team of choice because I liked the aesthetics and because it was the team that chose to acquire me in the Be A Pro mode. I enjoyed watching old clips, I enjoyed watching them play, I even managed to listen to all games that didn't happen to be on TV via the NHL app. I devoted precious time, time that I could have spent studying for tests, time that I could have spent on myself, among other stuff. I was very excited to see that all Panthers playoffs games were going to be on TV, and even my dad, who doesn't know anything about hockey, he started cheering for them too, as I explained things to him during the games and we saw how this team made this insane run to the Finals again. But... I just can't take it anymore. The Panthers' history is a very sad one, a team that had everything to be good, but unfortunately, appears to be cursed. Game 7, something I did not want to happen, is upon us. We're looking at 2 possibilities: the Panthers' first cup, or the Panthers' downfall. Yes, the downfall, as this choke might actually send the team back into relocation talks, if they somehow don't fold completely (which would unironically break two 1942 records: the first choked 3-0 lead since 1942 and the first franchise to fold completely since the Brooklyn Americans in 1942). Oilers fans have 5 cups to brag about.

The rating for these SCF has been through the roof... The McDavid Effect!

REVERSE SWEEEEEEEEP!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Favorite moment was Skinner’s final save, followed by an assist for Nurse’s empty netter. My whole family was squealing with delight over here in a tv room in Vancouver!!! ❤❤❤

Oilers are 5-0 while facing elimination in theses playoffs and are about to go 6-0. unreal. feels like the 2014 kings that would never die. good luck florida, you gonna need it

Shannon, this just proves Luongo is cursed.

imagine perry gets the game 7 winner

It might be a drastic statement, but to me, the Panthers are playing for their franchise on Monday night. No team is getting back to a 3rd Cup Final after losing 2 of em in a row. And with the changes coming with Reinhart and Montour probably leaving, Bob not getting any younger and Knight likely not being the successor like they thought and just this overall cloud that these last 3 games have created. They might never recover from this if they lose Monday night. Probably a solid team moving forward but not a Cup contender anymore. Or...they could win? Either way we gotta Game 7 so thats awesome. Hoping for OT.

thats the scariest part if your a florida fan, mcdavid no points in gm6 and draisatl still hasnt scored

The Oilers penalty kill has been unbelievable. I’m not even worried when they get a penalty

Florida just looks dumbfounded.

Conner deserves a lot of the credit for this series BUT the coach deserves a huge acknowledgement for making the adjustment after game 3.

Man, what happened to the team that conquered Vasi, Swayman, and 'Sterkin? We were on fire now suddenly we can't get out of our own way. Can't believe we are about to choke this lead, especially at home too. Damn it man, just when I thought this was finally our year too

The Florida Panthers have played ** a lot ** of hockey over the past year & it’s starting to show in the latter stages of the finals. They looked exhausted tonight.

Since the 3rd period of game 3, the Oilers have outscored the Panthers 20-5.

No more “oilers are just McD and dri…”. They’ve gotta hard working and cooperative full team. Of course you could build a better fantasy team but we’re in the real world… right? Bouchard and Hyman had insane seasons and many others stepped up when needed. Including skinner.. I had the same thought tonight too as it was glaringly obvious. This is a great team! Lead by a great staff. Truly impressive to see live. I’m sure many of us thought “if any team can reverse sweep it’s this one.” Their game has gone from “out score our problems” to “you all can play d.. let me teach you..” and this is clearly the path going forward for any other team that actually wants to win the cup. Everyone must put in the effort on every foot of the ice or they’re leaving effort in the tank. Shorter shifts and harder effort are the way forward. It’s why hockey is so special. Just imagine soccer but with line changes… o wait! We don’t have to…

Can someone check to see if the Panthers are even alive? What the hell happened to them?

Zito must be losing his mind

I’ve been rooting for the Panthers this whole time, but I can’t really defend them on this. They looked slow and uninspired for the first half of the game again. They absolutely need to play desperate hockey on Monday night.

Monday night is gonna be historic. Every hockey fan anywhere should be watching. Either the Panthers get their first ever championship (amazing option one) and the most winningest regular season coach without a ring gets his ring (Maurice) OR The Edmonton Oilers summit Everest. They do the impossible. They complete the miracle. The first team since 1942 to come all the way back from 3-0 down in a cup final. The second Canadian team to do it (which would be WILD, I'd love that as a bit of trivia) in a cup final, and only the fifth team in NHL history and the sixth team every in all 3 of the sports that do best of seven playoff series (MLB or NBA has one cannot remember which) to come all the way back from being down 3 games to 0 in a best of 7. This series has been history making already. The oilers shattering all record books for the penalty kill, over 93% are you absolutely kidding me. They are only on a -1 goal differential when shorthanded! That's absurd. Thats ridiculous, that should be illegal. They've given up 4 powerplay goals all playoffs and have scored 3 shorthanded goals. Wild. Mcdavid breaking the record for assists in a playoff run and he has a game left to add to that gap. The man had 8 points in games four and five combined. Fucking 8!!! That's silly. That's wild. In two games he turned into a point per game player in this series. More than a point per game, even with this going seven. That's just absolutely absurd. That's a captain putting his team on his back and more or less willing his team to defy death. And they did. And it seems to have inspired his teammates up and down the lineup, cause as Shannon said game six? They didn't need him on the score sheet. Guys like Foegele, guys like Henrique, these depth guys have bought into the belief Mcdavid has basically forced down their throats and they are all in and were absolutely heroic in game six. Nugent-Hopkins has been under the radar an absolute puck eating defensive zone breakout preventing monster, just consuming breakout attempts by the Panthers out of their end like the cookie monster on a box of chocolate chip cookies. Skinner has come alive in these last three games, just refusing to lie down and die, no fear, absolute ice water in his veins! This series has been wild, chapter 1 saw the panthers dominate. Chapter two sees the oilers, led by their captain, rise from the dead. Now we get a hell of an ending stanza in Florida on Monday night. That game is can't miss for anyone who loves playoff hockey, you have to watch it. Don't matter if you gotta be late to work on Tuesday, don't matter. You gotta watch it.

I take back everything I've said about Florida. They were up 3-0. We thought it was over. The vibes and aura have absolutely changed. Go Oilers.

Rangers fan here but at this point, would like to see the Oilers win a Cup also in memory of Ben Stelter and Joey Moss.

Well the good news is a TON of people will be watching Monday. The bad news? a TON of people will be watching Monday. Kill me

Game 7 is a GUARANTEE LOSS FORBFLORIDA. And for the third time in cup final for us the cup will be given away in Sunrise Florida

I can’t believe this is actually happening right now. I really thought my Oilers were dead in the water after Game 3. But here we are…and I’m so excited! Let’s go Edmonton…finish the reverse sweep Monday night!!!

I don't have a horse in the race and I'm loving this! Love when Emily Kaplan was interviewing Zach Hyman he could barely hear her. Absolutely electric atmosphere wish I could've been there. I hope they bring a regular season game to Australia. I almost travelled to Melbourne for the pre season games but I wasn't willing to do it for games that didn't count.

Monday is gonna set some NHL viewing records

What Oilers did last night was fantastic. If you really want to understand the depths of frustration on the Panthers, it was displayed by Paul Morrice's completely unhinged, screaming tirade on the bench after the offside goal was disallowed. That was more than rage about what Paul felt was a bad call. It was an opportunity for him to vent his rage and total frustration about the Panthers losing three games in a row, and now on the verge of losing the Stanley Cup. Poor Paul thought he had it all in the bag a couple of games ago, and like Bobby Luongo and all the other Panthers management, were all set to get measured for their Stanley Cup rings. GO OILERS!

Oilers are gonna send the Panthers to Quebec after Monday

Game 4 was a singularity, the oilers broke the panthers and set off a chain of events that can not be reversed The oilers will not be denied

I was one of the trash talkers all season but I have to admit they are getting it done here. Full props. May the best team win on Monday.

I wonder if Edmonton fans will be sober enough to watch game 7 even? 😂

If Florida scores first in Game 7, Edmonton can recover. If *Edmonton* scores first in Game 7, it's a wrap.

Also no matter who wins Game 7, Connor McDavid HAS GOT TO BE THE CONN SYMTHE WINNER!! Who the heck is the NHL gonna award it to from Florida? Bob? Tkachuk? Barkov?? Have you seen Games 4-6?? Please!! McDavid is doing something that we haven’t seen since Wayne Gretzky!!

It's all the hard work and resulting momentum. The Oilers are trending up, while the Panthers are trending down. It's Edmonton's year. It's Canada's year. This is a Cup year.

Shannon's passion is obvious. This is why we love hockey. We're seeing something amazing here this playoffs. No matter what happens next game.

I really think the momentum turned after EDM scored those 2 goals in the 3rd period of Game 3. Remember, the narrative was all about how the OIlers were outplaying the Panthers at times but they just couldn't get it going against Bobrovsky. It looked like Bob was in the heads of all the Oilers players but once they cracked the code as it were, things changed. I do wonder what would've happened tonight if Barkov's goal wasn't taken away. It was clearly the right call but if Barkov's goal had counted then things might've gotten REALLY interesting. Got to give the Edmonton crowd their flowers. They were crazy loud in the Dallas series and willed the Oilers to victory in one of the games and they've been a factor in the SCF as well. I'm really hoping the OIlers can pull off the impossible.

The hockey media immediately started talking 1942 after game 3 saying the oilers were the team that could do the comeback and here it is the oilers will win on Monday the panthers just can't stop them

Panthers are not choking, the Oilers are just the better team. Once they figured out "blocker side high", it was over.

This series will be talked about for years to come ! Amazing and gutsy comeback . Oiler fans be proud …REAL proud !

Panthers face elimination for the first time and its a game 7 in the finals. Oilers have been hardened from all the elimination games they have been througj.

Mouthguard Matthew is on the verge of only being remembered as a Choker. 🎉. Oil in 7. lock

Biggest choke of all time or Biggest troll of all time coming up

viewership is 61% higher than last year. Connor and leon need a 10% raise...or more!

this series is amazing

Hey Oilers, EUTHANIZE THOSE PANTHERS Monday Night!!! From Tampa Bay with love. Florida's ONLY STANLEY CUP CHAMPION 3X

Oliver Ekman-Larsson is quarterbacking the top line power play for a Stanley Cup final team in the year of our lord 2024.

Panthers have no chance this series coming from a panther fan. We have no chance and no one even our fans believe in us.

History will be made on Monday, no matter how it turns out.

One occasion in a life time coming

As an Oilers fan, if Edmonton wins the series, you might want to apologize to Florida. Earlier in the series you said you didn't see Edmonton winning 4 games in a row (I think it was after game 3). That might've been a jinx.

I think it’s more than just momentum. Oilers have just cracked the code. They know how to beat the Panthers now, and convincingly. This reminds me of the look Paul Maurice had in game 4 when the Oilers destroyed Florida. It was much more than the Oilers just having a really good game, it’s like Maurice looked horrified, almost like he knew this would happen. It wasn’t like “oh it’s just one bad game”, it was like “did we just lose the cup”.

The vid from UrinatingTree is going to be crazy...

Feel like I’ve watched two different series lol

6th cup on Monday, Oiler’s have all the momentum!

Great content! Thanks for always producing!

Best SCF of my years.

2023-2024 Florida Panthers = 2016 Atlanta Falcons???

WTF is wrong with the panthers tho
